119's "Global Gang War" Edges

Knives: The chopper is a brutal weapon, but it can only cut, while the Laguiole can cut and thrust with its more versatile design. Edge: Apaches

Mid-Range: The leaded cane is longer, but the Butterfly swords are edged weapons, and a blade is much more likely to kill with a single strike than a blunt weapon, and the butterfly swords are capable of cutting and thrusting, giving more options to attack. Edge: Tong

Pistols: I'm going to go with Elgb and give the edge to the Webley Bulldog. The Colt may have a longer range and theoretically larger cylinder, but that is going to matter little in an alleyway, and with the lack of any sort of safety, the Tong will, like most users, probably keep one chamber empty to prevent accidental discharges, evening up the capacity. Add to that the slightly larger bullet and handier shorter length, and the Bulldog takes the Edge. Edge: Apache

Special: The Apache pistol takes this. Sure the lack of any sort of barrel means it is effective at only point blank range, maybe up to 2-3 feet at most, but it is still a gun, meaning it can put down a target at close range without physically overpowering them. Not to mention the gun, knife, and brass knuckles can all strike more quickly than the a heavier hatchet. Edge: Apache

Armor: The Porcupine armor will make for a nasty surprise, but the Tong's chain mail will at least stop knives and blunt weapons, even if it isn't bulletproof. Edge: Tong

Overall Winner: The two gang are similar enough in terms of X-Factors such as combat experience, both would be experienced street brawlers even if they are not as skilled as a trained soldier, for instance. In terms of weapons, the Apaches take a slight edge for their weapons, which can hit faster than the Tongs and are more effective in close combat. WINNER: Parisian Apaches
