WraithOfWaffle's "The Struggle is Riel" Edges

Melee: The Tomahawk is a deadly weapon and could be used as a projectile but that would also mean losing your weapon. But it comes short as a weapon compared to what the Katana brings, as it lacks range and useful versatility. Yes the tomahawk can be throwable but it's not as useful as the slashing and stabbing power of the sword.

Edge: Saigo Takamori

Handgun: It's a one sided affair for the Colt, as it's double action so it has a faster rate of fire and has the stronger bullet. On top of that, Riel's troops have superior marksmanship so they can handle this power efficiently.

Edge: Louis Riel

Improvised Longarms: Interesting comparison, but I'll have to give this to the shotgun as a gun emptying after one shot means that it's a dead man's gun after one shot. The longer range of the musket doesn't do so much in the end because of its small capacity so even if you do get a shot of you'll have to worry about someone coming up and shooting you as you reload. The shotgun is a deadly close range killer that gives the user some slack and offers another shot.

Edge: Louis Riel
