119's "Rifling Matters" edges


 * Melee: The kukri takes this edge easily, as the weapon has a longer cutting edge, and is more versatile, being excellent for slashing and capable of thrusting, even if its not ideal for the job. Even though the tomahawk can be thrown, this will disarm the user, for no results if it misses or and causing perhaps little more than a concussion if any end other than the blade hits. Edge: Kukri


 * Firearm 1: The Blunderbuss' shotgun-like blast will prove superior to the pistols single shot. Edge: Blunderbuss


 * Firearm 2: This one depends on one question: will the Baker Rifle in this match have a rifled barrel or will it be a smoothbore Indian version? Edge: TBD


 * X-Factors: The Gurkhas take the X-Factors of physical condition and courage under fire. I would, however, state that Roger's Rangers have the advantage of stealth.


 * Winner: TBD. This really comes down to whether the Baker is rifled or not.
