Good matchup, but I think you got your ranges mixed up. As I understand it, lasers travel further than bullets, and certainly alot further than shotgun pellets or flame bursts. And I think the Lawgiver should be listed as "Special," since it functions as more than one kind of gun. (also, you only listed seven ammo types, what are the other two, plz?)

In any case, I go with Dredd. His physical abilities may not be a match for Sektor, but he has rock-solid determination on his side. He doesn't stop, he doesn't compromise, he's the first to dive in and the last to give up. Actually, he never gives up, like Davis from Digimon 02. (he is the LAAAWW, after all) Sektor, as both a ninja and a machine, may find his resolve to fight faltering as the odds of his victory grow slimmer. (ie, a ninja would rather live to fight another day than fight to the death)

As for edges, Sektor's pulse blades probably beat Dredd's Daystick for destructive power, but Dredd's knife could slip through vulnerable spots in Sektor's armor, so EVEN.

Not sure how to call the Laser Pistol versus the Lawgiver. If the laser is powerful enough to burn through anything Dredd might use for cover, then I'd give it the edge. If it's not, then the Lawgiver gets the edge because it gives Dredd more options, including heatseeking shots. Edge:  NO OPINION.

The shotgun has more stopping power than a flamethrower, but on the other hand, being set on fire has a tendancy to reduce an opponent's combat effectiveness. I'd still give the shotgun the edge because Dredd's armor may protect him from the heat. (unless it's not designed for that) If Sektor just wings Dredd, he's got a burning sleeve. But if Dredd just wings Sektor, the pellets are still penetrating, maybe even knocking Sektor on his back, setting him up for a kill shot. Edge:  WIDOWMAKER.

And the Stub Gun gets the edge against the Chest Missiles because Dredd can use concealment and cover to avoid being blown up. Sektor's only defense against the laser would be to duck or jump while Dredd rakes the room with it, slicing up everything in its path. Edge: STUB GUN.

Of course, edges don't always carry the day. The Shaolin monk only had one edge against the Maori, but it was a big enough advantage to net him a victory. Sektor has overwhelming force on his side, but Dredd has more ways to kill, and more ways to counter than Sektor.

Winner - Judge Dredd.
