Elgb's "Were Going On A Trip to the 19th Century..." EDGES!!!

Short: I'll have to go with the Ripper knife. Django isn't Indiana Jones, I doubt he can use it the same way Jones did like disarms, grabs and choke. The slaver's whip will hurt, but won't be that deadly. The knife is simple, practical, easier to use, and can kill with less effort and time. EDGE: Jack the Ripper

Mid: Normally, actual firearms tend to beat bombs. The derringer does have the edge for accuracy and being an actual gun. However, while its two shot capacity is appreciated, its main weakness is its small size. It's an extremely short range weapon and I do believe that one can throw a grenade farther than a derringer. Due to its small power, people using that thing has to fire at a certain spot to be deadly (like how Booth shot Lincoln with it in the head). The bombs on the other hand, has both explosive power and a hallucinogen effect, making it versatile. But still, it's a bomb comapred to a gun. So I'm giving this one an even. EDGE: Even

Long: Kinda funny Jack used a Mars Pistol even though it wasn'y yet invented at his time. The Mars seems to win almost all key advatages in a pistol. It has the power, the range, magazine capacity and a faster reload. It also has the advantage of being a smokeless gunpowder weapon. But it's very unreliable and dificult to use. Firing it is very uncomfortable and the complicated design makes it a very fragile weapon. The Remington 1858 is a more reliable weapon. But it's a black powder cap and ball weapon. It can be reloaded through the use of interchangeable cylinders (same way as a magazine) and Django carries two. And a blackpowder weapon, who always puffs black smoke every shot, makes it very innacurate. Thankfully, Django himself is accurate. In the end, the Mars seem to have the advantage as a semi-auto, but there's a huge chance that it will break. The Remington may be a very old revolver, but in the hands of Django it might as well be a machine gun. EDGE: Django

Tactics: I'm giving this one to Jack. Django needs to time to plan his battles. Jack on the other hadn can think and fight while on the fly. EDGE: Jack

Deadliest Warrior?

I'm kinda torn here. Django has the advantage of more reliable weapons and his quick draw skills. Jack on the other hand has the better melee weapons, tactics and physicality. Surely, Django can gun down Jack the Ripper before he can do his parkour moves. And one key advantage Jack has is his stealth. If he can get the drop on Django, there's  a chance Jack can kill him befoe he can draw his pistol. If things go up close, Jack would surely destroy Django.

Damn I need to think this one through. Sorry but my answer will be inconclusive for now...
