119's Edges

Swords: The katana was a viable slashing blade, but best against an unarmored opponent, but was useless for against armor due to the poorer quality steel used in its construction. The Talwar's is only slightly longer, but ligher and more adapted to combat against an armored foe, as well as slashing from horseback. Edge: Chatrapati

Mid: Neither are going to be particularly useful in a hand-to-hand fight, however, the dual wielding of the of the Pata is going to make it difficult to use, along with the use of any other weapon- as the user must first remove one. The yari, on the other hand, too long for close combat, but still have fewer problems, so takes the edge. Edge: Oda

Bows: The composite bow fires more effective arrows for piercing armor, especially the relatively low quality steel the samurai armor would have used. On the other hand, they yumi may be powerful with its length, but too small to maneuver. Edge: Chatrapati

Firearms: The tanegashima takes this easily. The tanegashima has front and rear sight, meaning it is more accurate, as well as a laquered box for used in the rain and other such features not found on guns elsewhere. This meant it would be more accurate. The Japanese were also more skilled in using the weapon tactically, and simply had more guns. Edge: Oda.
