THE DUEL: the meeting of the ultimate freaks! a grasshopper looking handicapped murderrer with some serious vengeful and psychopathic tension, and a vampire, none or the less! this can be one fast and furious duel and a close very close one. Gantlet is a well balanced gunfighter as most of his abilities are on a same level but he does not hit a maximum on any one of these. Some of the biggest advantage he could have a are his ultra tough armor and special attack. he also moves like hell for a crippled guy, but still not fast enough for the phantomic speed of Vamp. both of these guys have almost useless long ranged attacks, so their combat would be strictly close quarters. Here Vamp superhuman strenght could prove more than valuable and his again superhuman speed is a hair above Gantlets. Now again i feel that gantlets temper and tensions to go off raising hell could mean a loss of control and Vamp is a guy that will strike fierce in that weak spot if he senses one. Both of them also have a seriously mighty special attack, but it is mostly for mass anihilation rather than the one on one fight! Gantlet  has a piercing attack with drill looking like spike at the front which proveed really devastating in episode 15 of TRIGUN, and Vamp bloodletting proved very gory and demolishing in the hallways of  Shell 1 in MGS 2. Now there is a possibilty of either of them using this on their enemy,but Vamp would have problem sucking Gantlet dry through his armor, while Gantlet is not fast enough to drill through Vamp. One adavantage that is not mentioned among their stats is Vamp ability not to die easily as he tends to live more than ones, or should i say he is already dead. But no matter how i put this duel there is really no advantage and maybe in a real duel (or the short story i am writting as we are speaking) there would be an obvious winner, i just could not find anything that could actualy bring any one of them above the other. Now there is no time limit or some kind of out of ring thing  but my decision is.... WINNER: after using and abusing all of their abilities and weapons , unusualy enough both of the gunfighter walked awayt from the battlefield alive but not glorious or victorious. THE DRAW!! NOTE: * - Vamp fire power goes down to his throwing knives and his hand to hand fighting abilities are not included in that! ** - mental defnese for both of these guys is technicaly their head strenght with any psychopathic tendencies bias!
