 * Melee: The Dao has a more effective cutting Edge. Edge: Ming
 * Mid: The three barrel pole gun is not plagued by the problem of other firearms of the era: having to be reloaded after every shot. This gives the Ming Warrior the Edge.
 * Long: The Pirate's rifle has a greater range and is more accurate. Edge: Pirate.
 * Special 1: The Nest of the Bees and the Blunderbuss are both short range multi-shot weapons that can be deadly at close ranges especially against groups of targets. I call this one Even.
 * Special 2: I'll go against this and say the repeating crossbow because it will be of more use in the closer ranges that this will inevitably go down to, and can get off multiple shots. Edge: Ming
 * Explosive: The Landmine can be designed to be triggered when a victim tries to loot treasure. The pirate will fall right into the trap. Edge: Ming.
 * Armor: The multiple layers of the leather lammellar give the Ming superior protection.
 * Overall, I give this to the Ming for their superior, multi-shot weapons, as well as their likely greater training.
