Buttvile's Town Input:


 * Sidearm- Bill Overbeck. The M1911 is a widely used firearm for good reasons. The M1911 packs that one-extra bullet in it's mag over the Tartarus' cylinder, but that's just one of many reasons it gets Bill the edge here, the M1911 also has a better rate of fire and a faster reload.


 * Close Range- Bill Overbeck. The Benelli's superior rate of fire and extra rounds give Bill a rather easy edge over Joel's Mossberg.


 * Mid Range- Joel. Both of these classic firearms have the same basic stats with both sharing the same magazine size and same cartridge. I can't say much that ea hasn't said in his helluva'vote, the M16 has a lot of drawbacks in comparison to M4, one notably being it's notorious jamming problems. Bill may be skilled and experienced with the M16, but even that won't save him from the superior M4 that Joel has packing.


 * Long Range- Bill Overbeck. Not only does the Ruger has double the magazine size than the Winchester, but also packs a superior rate of fire.


 * Melee- Bill Overbeck. Per ea, the Buttstroke will hit hard, especially with someone like Bill behind it. Not only that, but buttstroking is also much faster and simpler to use, given that Bill won't need to switch out to another weapon and Joel will have to.


 * Special- Bill Overbeck. Fire is coolio, but so is range, and Bill's 'nade launcher has that. Joel's flamethrower has short range and is a bit clunky, the M79 packs a more lethal blast radius.

Winner- William "Bill" Overbeck! While Joel will no doubt be a difficult opponent to take down for Bill, he'll go down in the end due to Bill's greater experience fighting others, military experience, and superior weapons.
