French soldier

Surrender is the last thing on this formidable fighter's mind.
American cowboy

The icon of the Wild West, white, black and Mexican alike herded the vast herds of cattle.

Battlefield is Standard Battle Arena but with dried grass and Dacentrurus skeletons because Wynaut. Both are mounted. French soldier gets Chassepot rifle, Lefaucheux M1858, and sabre. Cowboy gets Winchester rifle, Colt Single Action Army, and Bowie knife. Shuri rigged the background so this music plays:

The French soldier takes this; He's an actual warrior rather than some peasant/sharecropper that ran out west. Not that cowboys weren't good at marksmanship but their military training wasn't as consistently good. Plus, the Chassepot is a superior firearm to the Winchester rifle as there's a good reason bolt action rifles superseded lever action rifles.
Vive le France!

I’d be surprised if the cowboy won.

Yeah, my guess is that the French soldier takes this, due to superior training. Though I'm guessing the cowboy will pick up some style points, at least :lol: !

That and inferior weaponry. I can only see the revolvers being an even match while the Chassepot has superior range(far superior), better reliability, and stronger rounds which outdo the firing rate of the Winchester. There's a reason why bolt action rifles superseded lever action rifles.

Yeah, definitely :P .

So, in your opinion, what would need to be done to give the cowboy a 50-50 chance of winning?

Not sure; Maybe have the Frenchman wear an eyepatch? 
PS All showings of the Chassepot show the ridiculously high maximum range of ~1,200 meters rather than the effective range that would actually matter in battle. Even with a much tinier effective range, it’s still likely the Chassepot would have better range than the Winchester.
