Who...is..Deadliest?!?
First,the Chu-Ko-Nu,the creation of the Chinese"repeating crossbow" is attributed to Chinese strategist Zhuge Liang, and it is recognized as one of the great unique innovations of history. Used during the Three Kingdoms period in China, the Chu-Ko-Nu functions much differently than was shown on the TV show Deadliest Warrior - although it does fire in a much faster than a traditional crossbow, it does not fire several bolts in rapid succession like a modern-day automatic weapon would. Instead, it fires several crossbow bolts with one pull of the trigger. One "magazine" of the Chu-Ko-Nu crossbow could contain from 10-15 crossbow bolts, usually allowing anywhere from 4-5 shots before the magazine would become exhausted and reloading would need to occur. The effective range of this weapon is around 60 m, although it can be fielded at a distance of 120 m. The bolts could be dipped in poison due to the low penetrating power of the arrows.

Now,The Welsh longbowmen served as a vital part of the English Army's ascendancy.Welsh archers,soldiers from Wales, which together with the Welsh medieval knights formed the backbone of the Welsh army. The bow used by the Welsh, made of them,and in contrast to how they were used later by the English from late 14th to 15th century.Welsh archers fired in serried ranks, often from ambushes. It is mentioned that during the battle of Abergavenny Castle, one arrow pierced the armor that covered the leg of the rider, passed through the saddle and the horse got into deep enough to kill him,Another battle they are mentioned are the Battle of Agincourt where the Welsh longbowmens,fought alongside with the English and Yeoman Archer,they defeated the French forces.

My Edges:
Short:Edge Welsh Longbowman:This isn't hard,the longsword is longer and more powerful,the jian is only faster,but speed doesn't matter in this match.
Mid:Edge Chu-Ko-Nu:The Zhua has longer reach and his power is just too scary,and is more intimidating weapon.
Long;Edge Welsh Longbowman:Both are skilled long range killers,first I wanted to call it even,but then I change my mind and give it to the longbow,due the fact has longer range and has a bodkin arrows,on the other hand the repeating crossbow has poisoned bolts,which can be really nasty surprise to the Welshmen,also the repeating crossbow requires less training.
Special:Edge Chu-Ko-Nu:The dao gam is lighter and is better because can be used as assassins dagger,and is more curved giving it a better slashing power.
X-Factors:
Armor:Welsh 74,Chu-Ko-Nu 67:The chainmail hauberk is one of the baddest armors,but not bad as leather lemmelar,but chu-ko-nu has iron helmet and the Welsh doesn't have one.
Accuracy:Welsh 95,Cu-Ko-Nu 94:Both are great marksmans,but the Welsh get barely because the longbow requires training,and the crossbow don't requires.
Intimidation:Welsh 79,Chu-Ko-Nu 89:This time the Chu-Ko-Nu gets this really easy,with weapons like the zhua,repeating crossbow and dao gam which are exotic and upredictable,also how you cannot be scared of giant troops shoting poisoned bolts to you?
Brutality:Welsh 89,Chu-Ko-Nu 89:Both are some of the most brutal archers in history,killing mercilessly their enemies.
