Edges Close The Saber, while capable of stabs, is meant for the slash, and warriors will more often than not fall back on a weapons primary function and against any type of metalic armor this isn't good. The Mace on the other hand has only one way to really use it, and what's more with out any protective armor it will be devastating. The mace is not a clumsy unweildy weapon in the hands of someone who can use it properly Edge: Richard Starkey

Mid: The War lance has the potientail to go through RS armor, but it's Iron vs Steel, and the armor may hold up against a glancing blow and unless the the hit is direct, and in the center of mass it's not going to kill RS and given the lances tip is an inferior metal to the armors composition it could break or bend on impact with the steel. The Alabarda however gives RS options in method of attack along with the ablity to take FTS off her horse, and sense FTS doesn't have any armor the Alabarda will be devastating. Edge: Richard Starkey

Long the Lorenz rifle is significantly more advanced, and far more accurate. I really don't think I need to explain why it get's the edge, it'sa rifled musket vs a matchlock. Edge: FacetheSlayer

Specail the Musketoon is simply superior in this fight, was RS not wearing armor, maybe not so but his armor may stop the Derringer. The Musketton will simply be more devastating. Edge: Richard Starkey

Armor: RS has armor, FTS does not. His armor does add weight and it does offer so slight hiderance, but in all reality, it's not going to slow him down enoguh to counter act the advantages of having it. Edge:RS

Torture: I really don't like this aspect and really don't think it affects the fights, but the Spanish Donky is much worse Edge: FacetheSlayer.

Winner: Richard Starkey In a close fight his armor will keep him alive against enough attacks to get a win. FTS lack of armor hurts her at close and mid range and with the realtivly slow reload rates of these weapons the melee weapons will have a huge impact.
