Omnicube1's Cubeliest Edges

Close Range: While the shashka does have both options to thrust and slash, the rapier can actually pierce armor compared to the Russian sabre. The oprichnik's armor won't do much to protect against the slender stabbing weapon. Edge: Knights of Saint John

Mid Range: Both weapons will do catastrophic damage against both warriors. Both are equal in length and power. Edge: Even

Long Range: The arquebus is inaccurate, but it is the only weapon in this category that can puncture through the enemy's armor.The pistol fires too small of a round to pierce through the curved cuirass armor. Edge: Knights of Saint John

Special: The hoop is an amazing tool that was one of the greatest weapons against the charging Ottomans. It was sent into groups of soldiers that lit them on fire. Though the oprichniks aren't going to be grouped together much, the hoop is the only weapon that will kill in this case. Edge: Knights of St. John

The Deadliest Warrior: Knights of Saint John, their close, medium, and long range weapons are all capable of puncturing the oprichnik's armor and kill. The only weapon the Russians have that can do damage against the knights' armor is the ahlspiess. Easily 620-380
