If The Man With No Name was Borchardt equipped and went one-on-one with a Luger equipped villain, both with their handguns stuck in their trouser belts, cocked and locked, then the C93 might well have the advantage...

Maybe we could get Jerry and Gerry to do a shootout, C93 against P08, actual live rounds but shoot at a tin can next to them (or maybe watermelons considering both their ages). Like the James Coburn/switchblade scene in The Magnificent Seven...
