Tybaltcapulet's " Yuan Shikai still kicks both of these guys' asses" Edges:

Pistols: Easy edge for the Mauser. The Colt Peacemaker isn't a terrible weapon, but it's simply beat out by the faster action of the Mauser and its superior capacity. There really isn't much to discuss here, the Peacemaker just isn't up to snuff with the Mauser.Edge: Huang Xi

Swords: The sabre that the author has shown is a Spanish striaght saber with a blade length of 35 and a total length of 42. This is compared to the Dao, which has an entire length of about 3 feet. In terms of blade reliability and power, there really isn't much to comment on, they both work as effective swords, with the Dao being better at slashing and the sabre being better for stabbing. I give a marginal edge to the Sabre because of its slightly better blade length, giving it the superior range.Edge:Antonio Luna

Rifles: These are basically the same weapon with maybe some slight differences. But overall these two are close enough to being identical that it's even for me.Edge: Even 

Melee: I'm giving this to the Hanyang M1935 bayonet.
