Undead RVD's "Rebelling it up till there is nothing but Ruble" Edges:

Short Range: The Main Gauche is great at deflecting weapons but it isn't good against a dagger-type weapon like the Tanto. I'm going to say even.
 * EDGE: Even

Improvised 1: The Axe will do major damage but it is clumsy and if you step forward soon enough, the Axe head will miss. The Nata is will be faster and be harder to dodge.
 * EDGE: Ikko-ikki Rebel

Improvised 2: The Kama Scythe wins by a land slide. It can slice through flesh easy, will be far faster than the Hook and can parry pretty well.
 * EDGE: Ikko-ikki Rebel

Sword: The Saber has a greater reach but is slower, heavier and not very versatile. It is a weapon primary used on horseback. The Katana is faster, lighter and has more options for killing.
 * EDGE: Ikko-ikki Rebel

Pistol: The Osutso is basically a blunderbuss and a blunderbuss will beat a flintlock pistol any day. It has power and will tear through a man with much ease. The Flintlock pistol
 * EDGE: Ikko-ikki Rebel

Rifle: The Charleville is reliable but even then, it is still an old fasion gun. It will fail from time to time. The Tangeshima is much more accurate and will kill its target before the Charleville will hit its target.
 * EDGE: Ikko-ikki Rebel

Overall: The Ikko-ikki are better trained, better armed and have far better experience. Brutality and technology is nice but it won't be enough to get the win.
 * VOTE: THE IKKO-IKKI REBELS
