In Short Range, the flimsy little flint knife will probably be snapped the moment it makes contact with something that isn't flesh. The Sica, however, will hack and slash through the weaker points in the Mayan's armor to give it the opening nod. Edge: Gladiator

Mid Range the Mahaquitl has potential, but, it's unnecessary bulk and near unweildly nature would make more openings for a Gladiator to just spear him with his trident. Not only that, the Trident also excels at disarming enemies as well. Edge: Gladiator

Long Range, this is no question. A sling is a poor man's weapon, and the center of mass is wide open for Mr. Gladiator to get turned into a pin cushion. Edge: Mayan Soldier

Special Weapons, the Sickle would be a semi-practical weapon, if it were a bit sturdier of material. The Scissor, on the other hand has offense and defensive capabilities. Edge: Gladiator

X-Factor: The Environment is totally in the Mayan's favor, and could easily make up for his glaringly bad technological disadvantage. Edge: Mayan Soldier

Verdict: Gladiator  While the Bow will more than likely piggyback the Mayan's day, the rest of his weapons just won't do the trick. As soon as the Gladiator gets close, it's an early 2012 for this unfortunate soldier. I believe the match will go about 625-375 in the Gladiator's favor, with almost 300 of them from the bow.
