Knife: The hunting knife is bigger, longer, and its clipjoint point would deal more damage than the dirk's slender straight blade. Edge: Marston

Mid: Its obvious here. A blackpowder cap and ball hand cannon vs a modern top-break cartridge british masterpiece? Sure the Lemat's got nine shots and a shotgun to boot, but its a cap and ball revolver. Cap and balls take like 15 minutes to fully reload. Webley is faster, its cartridge would make firing it safer, its way more accurate, and its top break automatic cartridge ejection makes it faster and easier to reload. Edge: Kelly

Long: The winchester has ore bullet capacity than he spencer's. Its easier to reload, and faster to fire. Edge: Marston

Special: The lasso would be useless for me because it wont kill anyone. The double barrel shotgun would give Kelly a run. But he's got a revolving rifle which has a six round and has longer range. The snider maybe a one shot wondert but its rifle range and accuracy would devastate John's posse. Edge: Kelly

Teams: John's team has its advanatges.Marshal Johnson's huge amount of military experience is a great addition. But the others are just unpreared and unexperienced. Kelly's bushranger maybe just highwaymen but they operate as a team and its an advantage. (P.S. Let's have Joe Bryne in Kelly's team, those guys are best buds like Holmes and Watson :)) Edge: Kelly

Xfactors: Even though Kelly s the one who would put the drop on Marston. John's quickdrawing skills will hurt Kelly's team to a pulp in mid range. Edge: Marston

Winner: Its a freaking close one. But I think Ned Kelly would win. He has the slightly better weapons that would dominate in the mid to long range. But what gives him the win is his team. They operate better than John's posse. And they do their jobs quite well. For a bunch of outlaws Kelly's gang has to have trust and loyalty in order to survive. Its an advantage.
