User blog comment:Elgb333/I Will Survive! Hugh Glass vs Alexander Selkirk/@comment-5900266-20160913022644

MoA's Edges:

Main: Hawken Rifle vs. Brown Bess. I'm going to have to call it split like others before me. Faster rate of fire and larger caliber of the Brown Bess are negated by superior accuracy and range of the Hawken rifle.

Edge: Tie

Sidearm: Hunting Knife vs. Dirk. While the hunting knife is a formidable weapon, don't get me wrong, it's a tool first. The Dirk has greater reach and more power behind the blade.

Edge: Alexander Selkirk

Special: Hatchet vs. Wooden Spears. Yeah no. The hunting spears are going to be flimsy and easily hacked away by the hatchet, which will be a devastating weapon at close quarters.

Edge: Hugh Glass

Overall Winner: Hugh Glass

I'm inclined to give it to Glass but only barely. He's facing a privateer of similar combat experience and survival abilities, but I have to agree with Wass and Appel. He has superior physicality because he straight up wrestled and killed a grizzly bear and he actually fought in a ground war, as opposed to Selkirk. Even with inferior training in comparison to Selkirk, his weapons promote his victory even further, with his combination of hatchet and hunting knife serving as a better melee combination than Selkirk's dirk and wooden spears and the superior range of his firearm enabling him to snipe from a distance. He's got the longer ranged firearm and the better melee combo. On top of better physicality and previous participation in a ground war and Glass wins.
