Battlefan's own edge on this 'Isane Czar vs. Badass Huangdi'

Short Range: The Dao Sword easily won this edge. As it've been indicated in the picture shown, Dao has a larger blade which can cause more deadly wound than Russian Sabers. The Chinese had been using this form of weapon for thousands of years, the thing hold up their fascination with this weapon is very simple: Dao was developed from early butcher knives that were used to cut through thick animals like cows or oxe, in this way, its intensity in penetrating objects and slashing bodies are undoubtedly awesome. Edeg:Zhu Yuan Zhang.

Middle Range: I almost give this to Zhu again due to the fact that Qiang is more flexible than the Bardachi---Ming Warriors were trained to use them in various ways such as stabbing, thrusting and so on. However, it's also conspicuous that the Bardachi makes more sense in cutting and striking which are more effective way of killing--if you thrust someone in the chest, there's still a few seconds left for him to exert himself to strike back, however a massive hit in the head will result in a total different outcome. Edge: Ivan the Terrible.

Firearms: Chinese matchlocks can lead to much serious psychologyical strike than physical hurt considering the armor thing, and the Pischal is a modern design than 3-pole. Edge: Ivan the Terrible
