BG1's "Apocalypse Forever" Edges:

Revolvers: Both revolvers are almost identical in rounds, action and mag size but there is a reason why they stopped making the Colt - it is slightly heavier than the Model 29 for its calibre and it has a tendency to go "out of time" with continued heavy shooting

EDGE: Max

Semi-Auto: While the Glock is the more modern weapon with a bigger magazine and lighter weight, the Mauser is the more powerful pistol with a longer range

EDGE: Max (newer sometimes does not mean better)

Close: The Mossberg is ultimately the better shotgun of the two since it has pump action, a bigger magazine, faster reloading and arguably the longer range and deadlier killing power

EDGE: Rick

Medium: A modern full-auto assault rifle vs a wwii semi-auto battle rifle? Please, its obvious what the clear winner is here

EDGE: Rick

Melee: The Gator Machete has a longer blade

EDGE: Rick

X-Factors: Average of 47.5 for Rick, Average of 68.75 for Max

EDGE: Max

Overall Winner: Although Rick has the more modern weaponry with a slight range advantage, he lacks majorly in two areas that I think are important in a battle like this - experience and mental health. As you say before, Max has been surviving longer than Rick has - and not to mention that Max has been up against a whole gang of vicious human beings in a harsh environment; sure Rick has gone up against Zombies and the Woodbury army but not long enough. Also, Rick has major mental issues (as I've discovered in a battle pitting him against Frank West) - the guy has seen his world fall apart, his wife and best friend die, and has to deal with a dysfunctional group of survivors; Max on the other hand perhaps has spent long enough in the desert to know just how to survive well against all the odds in an environment as unforgivable as the Australian outback. So because of that, I'm giving my winning edge to Mad Max Rockatansky
