Undead RVD's "Chings and Bangs" EDGES:
Shot: While the Rapier has a longer blade, it is also a very delicate weapons that can be snapped when hit right. The Ninjato (why are we using the Ninjato? It is a fiction weapon that was never actually used by ninjas) is much more durable, possibly faster and most defiantly sharper. As for daggers, the Main Gauche is used to disarm and that makes it better than a simple dagger like the Tanto. However, I am incline to go with the Ninja as the Nijato is faster, stronger and vastly more versatile.
 * EDGE: Ninja

Medium: I hate the Wheellock Pistol. It is weak, unreliable and fails to compare with the better flintlock pistol. I am surprised that the Musketeers are using this gun, as it was out-of-date for them, as Flintlock pistols fazed it out by the 1600s. Now, the Osutsu uses a pretty old firing system (matchlock) but its power makes up of it, as it can function as a nice, powerful blunderbuss and can fire arrow heads. I am going with the Osutso as it is a much more powerful gun.
 * EDGE: Ninja

Long Range: A Flintlock rifle will beat a matchlock rifle like the Tanegashima musket any time. It is more reliable and more accurate.
 * EDGE: Musketeer

Special: This is a situation of Apples and Oranges. The Grenade is used to make big booms, while the Black Age is used to blind foes. Now, the Grenade deals greater damage but the agility to blind a foe who relies highly on his eyes to shoot guns is very good to have. I can't really decide. It's Apples and Oranges.
 * EDGE: Unknown

Overall: Now, the Musketeers have the range superiority accuracy. However, what good is a gun when your enemy is behind you and shoving a sword through your chest. I would rather have stealth than accuracy. If my enemy can't see me, what can he do when his gun takes forever to reload. I feel that the Ninjas' stealth might give them the victory as they can stay out of the Musketeer's sight and take him out silently. I'm probably going to be the only one rooting the ninja but that's just me.

WINNER: NINJA
