As others have pointed out, cavemen were natural survivors, having far more combat experience and even physique, as technology has softened humans over time. However, if the weapons they receive are both modern, such as an AK-47, pistol, etc., it is much more likely for the astronaut to assess how the weapons work first and land a lethal blow. Why would you give an astronaut an AK-47 in the first place? I just put the rule up because real life astronauts don't really carry any weapons with them (maybe a knife, but no guns), so I basically  just allowed the astronaut to use some weapons from the stone age to compensate. The ruling sounded to me like both sides simply got the same weapons, without specification of what those weapons were. With stone age weapons, cavemen stomp. With modern, astronauts probably win. If you read about the experiment I was a part of you will see that even an astronaut with a weapon has little chance.
