Honest Abe vs. the Assassin named Not-John-Wilkes-Booth

'''Close Range: Connor. '''Connor barely wins in this area. The Bowie knife was made so not only could you hack through underbrush and (very) small trees, but also to be used in fighting (I don't know why Jim Bowie would need specifications like that). It can also be thrown in a pinch if need be. Connor's Tomahawk is about the same, a tool and a weapon. Connor get's the edge as the Tomahawk can easily be paired with a few of the weapons he carries, something Honest Abe lacks.

'''Mid Range: Even. '''An officers/cavalry weapon vs. a modified tool. I give this an even. The calvary saber is made for fighting, but it can't be used for very much else. The Axe ties because even though it is a tool, it is very versatile. It has a gun barrel in it, it can be used in melee, and if need be, thrown as a ranged weapon.

Long Range: Lincoln. Abe's Crossbow has more power flinging the bolt than Connor's Bow tossing the Arrow. The Bow may be able to reload  quicker than the crossbow and fire farther, but in the playthroughs of AC III that I've seen, Connor is not exactly a master with the bow, while a Crossbow requires little to no training at all.

'''Firearms: Lincoln. '''Lincoln's Spencer Rifle holds seven rounds in it's tubular magazine, while Connor's pistol and rifle each hold one. That means after Connor has expended both rounds, he'll have to spend a hell of a long time reloading his weapon while Abe has four more rounds to toss his way. The Spencer also outranges both of Connor's firearms. I do believe the reloading time will be about the same for each weapon right?

'''Special Weapon: Even. '''Abe's throwing knives can be used as a long range throwing weapon, and if need be a melee weapon as well, giving it decent versatility and many uses. Connor's hidden blade can only really be used if he get's in close enough to Abe be able to stab him. The hidden blade does tie though because it can easily be paired with the tomahawk and even the pistol if need be.

'''X-Factors: Lincoln. Connor's Average comes out at about 84.5, while Lincoln's comes out at 81.33~'''. Connor comes out on top in Speed/Agility and training. Lincoln comes out on top of strength and Experience. They tie in fighting skill. This does go to Lincoln though, as Technology does play a hand here (flintlocks vs. percussion cap).

'Deadliest Warrior: Abe Lincoln! ' Abe dominates in Firearms and Longe Range fighting, which means he could (technically) handle Connor before he is upon him. He also get's the benefit of the doubt in X-Factors. Connor only comes out on top in very close rangle fighting, but only cause he can pair his hidden blade with his tomahawk or maybe even the pistol if he still has some rounds left. They tie in Special Weapons and Mid Range Combat, which means Abe comes out on top in were it counts. So, Honest Abe can best the assassin named Not-John-Wilkes-Booth.

John Wilkes Booth would of probably wet his trousers watching this unfold.
