User blog comment:Wassboss/Rootin' Tootin' Wild West Shootin': Dutch van der Linde vs "Lucky" Ned Pepper/@comment-5465602-20190313192114

BeastMan14's "Surly Joe the Wrangler" Edges

Personal Weapons: Dutch van Der Linde. Ignoring the basically identical stats of the revolvers, the biggest edge in Dutch's favor is that he's not only a better shot but he's wielding two weapons. Even if Dutch decides to only fire one at a time, he'll still have another pistol to use in the heat of the moment, which could be a matter of life or death if he and Ned both run dry during the shootout.

Rifles: Dutch van Der Linde. While the Evans isn't a super reliable weapon, this isn't a protracted engagement, it's a gunfight that'll last maybe twenty minutes, meaning the issues of weapon condition won't matter as much. Outside of that, the Evans has a better range, clip size, and a more powerful round, making this a stomp.

Shotguns: Dutch van Der Linde. Another stomp in old Dutch's favor. This one simply comes down the fact that the pump-action style of the Winchester means it will be able to fire much faster than the Colt.

Sidearms: Dutch van Der Linde. These guns are basically the same, but the Colt fires a bit quicker, which gives it a small edge here.

X-Factors: Ned Pepper. Dutch has a score of 77.5, while Ned has a score of 78.75.

Deadliest Warrior: Dutch van Der Linde. Despite the decisive weapons edge for Dutch, this was still tough, but despite his failing mental health, Dutch is still an effective, charismatic leader on the battlefield, and his decades of leadership show this well. At the end of the day, he's just a bolder, fiercer outlaw, and Ned's crew will find themselves singing their last cowboy songs. Overall Score: 550-450
