BG1's "Riders of the Storm" Edges

Short - Essentially what EA is saying: The Webley has the faster rate of fire thanks to its double-action system; also of note is that the Webley packs the bigger round

EDGE: Lawrence

Medium - While the Winchester may have been a famously popular rifle back in its day thanks to its efficient lever-action system and its compact design, the SMLE is technologically superior with its bolt-action system allowing for more accurate kills from a larger distance (although the SMLE is not as powerful as the Winchester)

EDGE: Even

Long - It's already been shown on DW: the Vickers Machine Gun is prone to jamming; and while the Vickers is lighter than the Maxim, it requires a crew of 8 to carry and man the machine as opposed to the Maxim which only requires 4

EDGE: Pancho

Special - So we have a dagger vs a knife, eh? Well normally I have to give it to the longer reaching knife and the bolo is designed like a machete but really its meant to be a farming tool as opposed to the combat-oriented Jambiya dagger which also has a curved blade that allows for a quicker strike

EDGE: Lawrence (just)

X-Factors - Average of 81.25 for Lawrence; Average of 77 for Pancho

EDGE: Lawrence

Overall Winner - I can definitely see Lawrence of Arabia winning this battle; essentially he packs more technologically superior weaponry compared to Pancho and is physically in greater shape than him (Pancho had arthritis and a bit of mental insanity unlike Lawrence). Also, while both men fought in similar environments, Lawrence knew how to use his surroundings to his advantage a little more cleverly than Pancho resulting in tactics that I doubt Pancho has ever faced before or will ever try to fight back against; I'm also pretty sure the bandoliers that Pancho wears stereotypically in battle are gonna be a bit of a drag for him compared to the Arabian sheik uniform that Lawrence wears (which is also an advantage for him considering he is fighting alongside Arabian men so essentially for Pancho it becomes a "Where's Wally?" type of game methinks).
