Elgb's "Aur Revoire!!! (who cares about spelling)" EDGES!!!

Short range: I'm going to side with the rapier on this one. I know that the rapier is just a "civilian" weapon (which is BS since many actually used it in war), but it's more effective because the battle will be just a small squadron battle with no cavalry whatsoever. Sabres are only effective in cavalry, and its almost useless against plate armor that the MoG have. Not to mention that the MoG uses two weapons instead of one. EDGE: MoG

Mid range: Both uses the same weapon. Although the 1733 is lighter, I don't think it'll make any difference. EDGE: Even

Long range: The MoG's musket has the longer range and less weight. EDGE: MoG

Special: The pike seem to have the longer range, but the bayonet is more practical and the user doesn't have to switch weapons to use them. But I do NOTE that in the Deadliest Warrior episode, the Musketeers also used bayonets. EDGE: Grand Armee

Deadliest Warrior: Musketeer of the Guard

Although it won't be a cake walk, the MoG take this in a hard won fight. Although Napoleon specially trained the Grand Armee to conquer Europe (not the world as everyone else thought because the Grand Armee was created after Napoleon's battle in Egypt and Haiti), in experience itself, the MoG's been fighting for as long as 150 years against the Grand Armee's bloody 4.

In my opinion, the MoG would triump in the end for two reasons. First: the MoG's were highly trained nobles/guards who specializes in small tactical squad fights, while the Grand Armee were trained in Total War amry formations and strategies, which is completely useless in a small skirmish. Second reason is that the MoG carries with them armor that renders the sabre and bayonet useless, and may slightly resist small arms fire as well.
