So...

Short Range: Makraka wins. Not only does it have more force behind it due to a higher weight, it's also got that nice cutting edge to make killing easier. On top of that, the fact that this is made of iron rather than wood/stone gives it an even bigger advantage due to material superiority. Edge: Zande

Mid Range: Draw. The Makrigga's got length going for it, and the barbs are going to do a whole lot of damage inside the body. However, it's also a very linear weapon. If the Apache can evade the thrust, it's a very short distance to slice the overextended Zande. Edge: Tie.

Long Range: Apache bow wins. Without knowing specifically what wood it's made from, we can only rely on measurements here. The Apache Bow is larger than the Botto, giving it the possibility of a longer draw length and, by extension, draw weight. This will give the bow a greater power and range than the Botto and Pima. We also saw on the show that the Botto and Pima can barely penetrate at near-point blank range. Edge: Apache.

Special: Apache Knife wins. This is really a case of Occam's Razor as applied to weapons design: the simplest weapon works the best. Carrying multiple Kpingas is incredibly impractical due to its size and shape. Sure, the one or two you can carry is a nice throwing weapon, but the Apache's knives can also function as a throwing weapon. On top of that, the size, shape, and weight of it make for a rather difficult to use melee weapon, while the knife is nice and simple. Edge: Apache.

Overall: Apache wins. The Zande's arsenal is deadly at mid range. However, the Apache's arsenal is far deadlier at longer ranges and when close in. Since neither warrior is wearing much armor, the Apache can get a ton of strikes in before the Zande is in its effective range.
