THE BEST OF YOU COME FOR ME!!! While the Jambiya's curved blade is definitely going to be more versatile weapon, what most people forget is that it is, both in modern times and by Lawrence's certainly, a ceremonial weapon. The Bayonet's lacking in any options other than thrusting, but it makes up for that in a differemt form of versatality. It lets him either wield a knife at close range, or, more likely, form a spear with his rifle for a ranged advantage. While the Webley's certainly got more power, punching through flesh with ease, the .45 ACP isn't lacking in that either. Where the Colt exceeds the revolver is by having one extra round in the magazine (not nearly as important as the next couple factors), being capable of much faster rate of fire as a semi-automatic opposed to a double-action revolver, and a far quicker reload (clips are much smoother to reload then indivdual round into a cylinder, after all). The SMLE's larger magazine, lighter weight, and smoother round make it a far better weapon in a long, drawn-out engagement. However, the M1917's harder-hitting muzzle velocity, combined with the rifle's further range, makes it a draw. These are crew-served machine guns- nobody's going anywhere in the thick of battle. So what matters most is reliability, firepower, and magazine size. While both machine guns are about even in ghe last one, the Vicker's gas-operated mechanism has been shown to have faults. While I'm sure a recoil-based operating system will have faults as well, that's much less so considering the former. The Browning's larger round and muzzle velocity also ensure the machine gun hits with far more power and shreds through Lawrence's men with ease. This should come as no surprise- while Lawrence of Arabia's iron man physique and intelligence makes him a deadly guerilla fighter, he simply can't compete against a foe just as dedicated as he. Charles' more modernized equipment aids him especially so here, letting him hit harder and strike faster. At the end of the day, while Lawrence may be the closest thing to superhuman we get, Charles Whittney should take this battle.
