Let's see shall we

Melee

The Talwar is slightly longer and slightly heavier but not by a big enough margin to really give it the edge. It also has that weird disc hilt which makes it more awkward to use but the Sepoy's would've been used to it so it's not much of a disadvantage.

Edge: Even

Mid Range

You'd might look at the Colt and think that it's higher higher muzzle velocity and larger magazine would give it the edge but I'm actually siding with the Beaumont-Adams. Sure it has one less round but more importantly it's double-action which means it doesn't have to be cocked between every shot like the colt does meaning it can spit out it's rounds faster.

Edge: Sepoy Mutineers

Long Range

This comparison is like a more primitive version of a rifle vs shotgun debate. For me, seeing as how both are a single shot weapon, having the gun which has the further range is the most important so the Carbine wins. No use packing a bigger punch if you can't get close enough to use it.

Edge: Sepoy Mutineers
