HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A WOMAN SCORNED! The Panga is the deadlier weapon here, but barely so. The Tomahawk is a devastating weapon in the hands of the iconic Rangers, unleashing a brutal chop if it hits. Also, it gives the Ranger versatility because it can be thrown, and that's a decent option. Ultimately though, I'll give the Panga the edge because of how much more versatile the blade is in a melee fight; Bigger surface area means more ways to harm someone, and the single edged blade makes it easy to thrust with just as well as slash. The flintlock cinches this edge, because of the range and firepowre the weapon brings. The Assegai is a decent weapon, but once you throw it it's gone. The flintlock, you may only have one shot, but you can reload. It's a pain in the ass to do so, but the thing is that you can still remain with your comrades to reload. When the Amazons release their spears, they'll have to go get them, and Rangers will be waiting with a hail of musketballs. While both are practically even in terms of stats and the warriors using them, I'll back up the Brown Bess for thsi one. The main reason is that the Bess was actually designed by the military with the thought in mind to use it in combat. The Dane Gun, while certainly a good weapon, was ultimately built for hunting small game and inspiring fear; It's not a true military weapon, and that's why the Brown Bess barely manages to take this edge. The Bayonet is a deadlier weapon, but it's close. The War Club is easily  to farther ranged weapon, capable of being thrown in a mid range scenario, as well as dealing far more damage with blunt trauma. But at the end of the day, the bayonet turns an unloaded gun into a deadly spear, bringing versatility to an already superior weapon. The Rangers should take this battle, but boy is it close. The Amazons are certainly brutal in combat, and bring a deadly close range game. But ultimately, I think the Rangers' longer ranged arsenal coupled with their guerilla tactics should give them a narrow edge. With the superior musket, a pistol to cover themselves, and a lethal combo of decent close range weapons, Roger's Rangers will take this battle.
