BeastMan14's "Overly Manly Men." Edges

Close-Range: The Ariska has two advantages, its longer reach and that it can be attached to a gun. The Bowie doesn't have that. Edge: IJA

Mid-Range: The .38 colt has better bullets and is far more reliable than the Type 26 and its overly long barrel. Edge: Rough Riders

Long-Range: The Gatling Gun sucks in situations where it has to be moved, as its large and cumbersome is a pain in the ass. Meanwhile, the machine gun is a lot more reliable and packs more punch. Edge: IJA

X-Factors: The IJA are more disciplined and better marksmen, but what wins it for the Rough Riders is their better leadership and training. Edge: Rough Riders

Overall Winner: This is close, but the Riders just barely succeed. They may have inferior weapons, but they have better traing and leadership on their side, plus the better main ranged weapon, the Revolver, is their gun. Edge: Rough Riders
