 * Melee Weapons: Ned Kelly's Dirk for its superior strength and lethality.
 * Handguns: While the Beaumont has the advantage of being a double action, it only has a five round cylinder vs the Colt's six rounds, and was a cap and ball revolver, being slower to reload than the Colt 1873. As such, Crazy Horse's Colt 1873 gets the edge.
 * Rifles: The Crazy Horse's Henry Rifle takes this for range and a faster chambering of each round, as with the Henry, one simply needed to pull the lever to chamber the next round, while the Spencer require the user to pull the lever and and pull back the hammer.
 * Special Weapons: I actually give this to Crazy Horse's bow, as the Colt Revolving Rifle had a fatal flaw that could have devastating consequences. The paper cartridges the rifle used were known to leak powder, which, when fired, could cause all six chambers to fire at once, blowing off the hand of the user. For this reason, i give the bow the edge.
 * Overall Winner: Crazy Horse takes the crucial X-Factors of tactics and combat experience, which along his superior firearms will win the match for him.
