Here is my vote

Close range: I'm going to give this to the tomahawk. The reason is because it can be thrown, a weapon that has more uses instead of just slashing is better than one that can only slash.

Medium range: this is tough, but I'm going to have to give this to the flintlock pistol pistol. While the assegai is useful, and can be thrown instead of stabbing, the pistol ultimatley has greater range. The range of a weapon always matters.

Long range: these weapons seem pretty even, but I'm giving this to the Dane gun. The reason is simple. You said that the amazons were made sure to be skilled on this weapon, that brings me to the conclusion they are even more skilled with this rifle than the rangers are. The skill of the warrior makes them the warrior, not the weapon.

Special: this is extremely tough, but I'm going with the African war club. The bayonet makes one weapon better, but the club adds to the amazons arsenal, and it can also be thrown to. Like I said, a weapon that has more than one use is better than a weapon that only has one use.

Winner: even though the edges are even, I'm giving this to the amazons. The rangers are better with a tomahawk and a pistol, the amazons are better with a rifle and a club. They are more skilled with there long range weapon, which I say will give an extreme edge. Also the rifle has more range than the pistol, but the club and the tomahawk are pretty even. In the end, the rifle is better than the pistol, so the amazons win this for me.
