WanderingSkull's GraveDigging Tunes "RESIST!"

Short: The Panga has that sweet machete design, but its more meant as a tool compared to the full blown weapon that is the Shortel. Which has the way longer blade, the design that's going to do some serious damage and causes much deeper wounds. EDGE: Abyssinians

Spears: Both just seem like some typical spears, but the Abyssinian's Spear is way better, that extra foot will not make the weapon clunky since spears were typically around this length. So yeah, the spears are almost the exact same thing, but the better length of the Abyssinians. EDGE: Abyssinians

Firearms: Both of these are deadly and the Abyssinians have armor to weaken the impact, but still its not enough. Flintlock firing mechanisms are far superior to that of Matchlock firearms. And since there's no other distinct changes after that since they have the same range, the Amazons get this edge. EDGE: Amazons

Special: The club is cool weapon, but once again the armor of the Abyssinians manage to weaken the impact and allow for them to continue to fight on. The Amazons have no such luck as a sickle will rip right through them and hurt like hell when it connects. And the design can be used as a disarming tool if the user is forced into a corner. EDGE: Abyssinians

Deadliest Warrior: Abyssinians- This is no contest, these people were able to resist and destroy any sort of European forces for centuries as the rest of Africa got conquered. They faced the brutal military might of Europe and won as like 95% of Africa feel under European control and continued to resist leaving them as renowned warriors and respected as well. The Amazons mainly got a better gun and slightly better training, brutality shouldn't matter as much compared to the raw experience and armor of the Abyssinians. Plus, this isn't the typical area that Amazons are used to fighting in, this is the Abyssinians backyard and will allow their masterful abilities of guerrilla warfare and regular warfare to triumph over their foes. Plus, as stated in the battle, the Amazons were typically used as bodyguards were as the Abyssininans were the front line forces meant to always resist.
