User blog comment:Elgb333/Season 1 Finale: Cowboys vs Cossacks/@comment-3189283-20150422155523

Let's see shall we:

Melee: 

The Bowie knife has more options as it can be thrown as well as being used a melee weapon. The Kindjal seems to be the easier to use and the more lethal, with it's doubled edged blade allowing for less precision with a stike. This is too close to call.

Edge: Even 

Pistol: 

I'm going to go with the Colt here. Not only is it more powerful than the Nagant but it also allows for more shots to be fired between reloads which will be very useful in a close range firefight. Add in the skill and accuracy in which Cowboy's used their pistols and you have yourself a winner.

Edge: Cowboys

Rifle: 

A pretty easy edge for the Mosin Nagant. It may have a third of the ammo capacity of the Winchester but it has a far superior range and a more powerful shot which will enable the Cossacks to pick the cowboy's off from a distance.

Edge: Cossacks

Special: 

This is a curbstomp for the Sharps rifle. It has faster rate of fire, a more lethal round and over triple the range of the Berdan rifle.

Edge Cowboys 

X Factors: 

The Cowboys have an average of 75.3 while the Cossacks have an average of 75.

''Edge Even. ''

Final Verdict 

This should be a very comfortable win for the cowboys. They dominate in weaponry with their pistol skill giving them an edge in close to mid range and the Sharp rifle gives them a massive advantage in long range combat, completely nullifying the range advantage the cossacks would have with the Nagant. They also take the edge in X Factors as, despite having less experiance, they are more well trained and disciplined than the Cossack's who seem to have little loyalty too each other and poor training to back it up, leading to a easily dispatched group.

Cowboys: 4,000 

Cossacks: 1,000
