WHO IS DEADLIEST?

Finally after numerous delays, I am proud to bring you the 'pilot' episodes of Affectos's Deadliest Warrior Season N. Tday with the help of my best friend Jyhet and common ally Sir Awesomeo, we will give our personal insights into the weapons and X-factors that made these men who they are today. So without furthur ado, let's pull the weapons out of the closet.

 Close Range:  Colt Peacemakers VS. Colt 1920 Offcial Police

·          Affectos:   The Colt Police is more manuverable and is double action, so if you can fire that second shot off faster, chances are that you can get the kill faster. Edge: Colt Offical Poice

·          Jyhet:   It doesn’t matter if you can get the second shot off first. If I can shoot from farther away than you can hit me, I will kill you. Edge: Peacemakers.

·          Sir Awesomeo:   The Peacemakers have a stronger punch and a longer range. Edge: Peacemakeres

 Mid Range:  Coach gun VS. Thompson Machine Gun

·          Affectos:   The coach gun takes a bit to reload, but with the faster rate of fire and increased capacity and range of the Thompson outmatch it. Edge: Thompson

Attributing it to flesh would be devastating. Edge: Coach

<p style="text-align:center;"> Long Range:  Winchester Repeating Rifle VS. M1903 Springfield

<p style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l2level1lfo3"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol;color:white;mso-themecolor:background1">·          Affectos:   While both can get about 15 rounds a minute, the Springfield can hold more ammo with the 25-round stripper clip. Edge: Springfield.

<p style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l2level1lfo3"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol;color:white;mso-themecolor:background1">·          Jyhet:   both guns can fire roughly the same amount of rounds per minute, but the fact that the Springfield can keep firing past 15 rounds gives it the edge.

<p style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l2level1lfo3"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol;color:white;mso-themecolor:background1">·          Sir Awesomeo:   Winchester is easier to reload and fire; edge: Winchester

Edge: ‘Pineapple’ Grenade.

<p style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0level1lfo4"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol;color:white;mso-themecolor:background1">·          Jyhet:   The grenade is easier to use and is more mobile. Edge: MK1

Two words. Bigger boom.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Special Weapons:  Bowie Knife VS. Spiked Cowcatcher and Brass Knuckles

<p style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1level1lfo5"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol;color:white;mso-themecolor:background1">·          Affectos:   Even though the Spiked Cowcatcher can only really be used once, it is enough to cause a psychological stun into the enemy and the brass knuckles can deliver that concussion force blow. Edge: Brass Knuckles and Cowcatcher

<p style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1level1lfo5"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol;color:white;mso-themecolor:background1">·          Jyhet   :  The Bowie Knife is more versatile than the Brass Knuckles and the Spiked Cowcatcher combined.

<p style="text-align:center"> Reeves-X-Factors-Ness

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt; text-align:center;line-height:normal">''' 84-Physicality-78 '''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt; text-align:center;line-height:normal"> Reeves was a former slave, so compared to Ness’s previous desk job of U.S. Treasury Department, Reeves has a distinct physicality edge over Ness

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt; text-align:center;line-height:normal">''' 77-Logistics-89 '''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt; text-align:center;line-height:normal"> Ness had a lot more ease of getting what he needed due to the fact that he was fighting his gang wars in Chicago, compare to the Wild West that Reeves had to put up with

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt; text-align:center;line-height:normal">''' 89-Audacity-93 '''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt; text-align:center;line-height:normal"> This category is a real close one, but it really comes down to quality vs. quantity. Reeves may have arrested over 3,000 men in his lifetime, including Belle Star, but Ness went after the Capone Gang…and won. He even went as far as cross-wiring their phones while they were out.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt; text-align:center;line-height:normal">''' 87-Experience-81 '''

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt; text-align:center;line-height:normal"> After Reeves escaped from slavery, he learned to be a crack-shot with a pistol and rifle in the Indian Territories, even to the point where he was banned from turkey-hunting competitions. Ness though was in a shoot-or-be-shot scenario, so he had to learn on the fly, and fast.
