Mad Max: Beyond Rwanda!

1. Melee

No contest: While the machete is a good melee weapon, the thunderstick is both longer range (by far) and far, far more devastating. Even if the thunderstick misses its target, if it lands close, the explosive could still potentially kill or injure the intended target.

Edge: Immorton Joe!

2. Sidearm

The Colt Anaconda is a monster, an enormously powerful sidearm. It has far more stopping force than a Marakov, which is something you need against soliders fueled by drugs and induced adrenaline. However, the Marakov has 2 extra rounds, is more technologically advanced, and, though lacking power, stll gets the job done. Still, its hard to ignore the Colt's awesome power, and considering the strengths and weaknesses of both pistols, I have to give this a tie.

Edge: Dead Even!

3. Assault rifles

Both bad guys have AK-47's so there shouldn't be any difference. However, Immorton Joe comes from a distant, post-apocalyptic future, while Commadant lives in the modern world. This means that, unless he makes his own Ak47's, or his AK47s were made fairly recently in his world (very unlikely, but possible), his AK47's will be older than those of the Commadant. And older weapon could potentially be more prone to jamming and breakdown than a younger weapon, and in a dust filled world, is going to be in more regular need of a cleaning. Still, I dont know how far in the future the film of Mad Max is, and the time range might not be long enough to affect Immorton Joe's AK47's capabilities. So until we know more, I would have to give this a dead even.

EDGE: dead even
