User blog comment:SPARTAN 119/Louis Riel VS Saigo Takamori/@comment-5900266-20160827180514

MoA's Edges:

Melee: The katana has a larger killing surface area and could likely cut right throw the handle of a tomahawk.

Edge: Saigo Takamori

Handguns: The Colt 1878 is double action with a larger caliber. Easy edge.

Edge: Louis Riel

Improvised: The double-barreled shotgun is superior to the converted tanegashima in many ways. It has greater lethality and 2 shots. While it has less range, this is negated because the converted tanegishima was crudely made and was prone to inaccuracy and misfires.

Edge: Louis Riel

Rifle: These weapons are basically carbon copies of each other.

Edge: Even

Repeaters: The Winchester 1873 has greater ammo and a faster action.

Edge: Louis Riel

Overall Winner: Louis Riel

Easy win for Louis Riel. He brings superior weaponry, marksmanship and tactics to the table for a 50-on-50. While his Metis and Cree might not stack up so well against former Samurai in the close-quarters, their superior firearms should prevent that situation from occurring in the first place.
