I really hope that you write this damn battle...

Anyway...

Bowie Knife vs. Model 1840 Officer's Sword: Knife vs. Sword, Sword wins. Edge: Ulysses S. Grant

Shotgun vs. Naval Pistol: When it comes to two single-shot weapons, the shotgun's greater stopping power and in terms of the way it's used, greater accuracy than the pistol gets it the edge. Edge: Davy Crockett

Ol' Betsy vs. Springfield: Crockett with Ol' Betsy was legendary. He used it up close, as a club, and with deadly accuracy. The Springfield's all right, but Ol' Betsy was named for a reason. Edge: Davy Crockett

Revolver + Pistol Whip vs. 12-pound cannon: The Cannon's good and scary but it takes forever to realod. The revolver gets off six damning shots and can be used as a close range weapon. Edge: Davy Crockett

TNT vs. Grenade: TNT has a long fuse and is too unweildy, plus can result in friendly losses a lot easier than can a grenade. Plus a grenade is more mobile and can be used in rapid succession with greater ease. Edge: Ulysses S. Grant

Winner: Davy Crockett

At first I was gonna say Grant because looking at his military career he's awesome, and he didn't die in his only battle like Crockett. But Crockett is the stuff of legend, and he fought personally. Grant sat comfy in a tent and ordered men around. Sure, he's trained a lot better and he can think his way around a battlefield, but he's older than Crockett - which isn't a good thing, and because Crockett's weapons are so personal you know he's got the experience to use them. In this case, training and tactics < experience in a one man fight, or even a squad on squad. It's close, but Crockett wins.
