Behind cover shoot out.
Interesting tidbit, if you look at the Farmer's gun, it's actually a rifle. Anyway, despite being armed with only a 6 shot revolver, the "Dr. Wily" clone would probably win since his shots were dead on. And this is a dude who was injured with one arm to shoot.

How far would they get in one on one match ups against every person. Who would be their limit.
Hard to say. I think Chiaotzu and Yamcha would be able to defeat Monster Zarbon and under (Yamcha gave up training pretty early and Chiaotzu was always pretty weak), Tenshinhan might be able to defeat Ginyu, and Kurilin might be able to defeat Freeza's first form.

Tenshinhan and Kuririn could each take down Captain Ginyu after a good battle. Yamcha might be able to defeat Butta, Jheese, or Recoome one-on-one, but get spanked if two or more of them took him on at once. Chaozu... I dunno, somewhere around that, too. He might even be stronger than Yamcha.

During Freeza arc in the anime, Chaozu was stronger than Gurd, Yamcha was stronger than Reacoom, and Tenshinhan was stronger than Jheese & Butta together. I don't think that would be possible at that time, but I believe that would be possible after their training with Kaio. So, after 21 years, with the training they had gone through then:

Tenshinhan would be able to beat Second-form Freeza
Kuririn would be able to beat First-form Freeza
Yamcha would be able to beat Ginyu
Chaozu would be able to beat Reacoom.

They didn't beat the Ginyu Tokusentai, they knocked them off Kaio's planet.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

They were definitely stronger, if not equals. Either way, the whole fight didn't make any sense.

Kid Gohan (Namek) vs DBZ

This may be a no brainier but here me out. Instead of Guru unlocking his potential he gets the Elder Kaioshin to do it. How strong would he get. Also I know it sounds ridiculous and it is, but just take it as a stupid what if that makes no sense.

I see Gohan being stronger than Goku after healing from the Ginyu battle by a good bit. Still, that wouldn't be enough to handle Freeza in his true form once he uses 50% of his power. He'd beat the crap out of everyone else before that, tho.

Gohan would get as strong as he got when he was an adult IMO, so he should be able to beat Evil Boo (Piccolo, Goten & Trunks absorbed), but loose against Gotenks Boo.

I'm with Super Saiyan Turlast x4. I see the whole "hidden power" thing as a factor that changes and increases over time. The Grand Elder of Namek's ritual and the Old Kaioshin's ritual were almost the same thing, with the exception that one brought out all his current hidden power, and the other brought it all out AND MORE (with the added bonus of compiling it all into his base form to replace Super Saiyan).

So yeah, I figure Gohan might end up as powerful as Goku did against Freeza, at best. But without Kaio-Ken, he's not going to do as well.

That's assuming the power added on top of the potential is a multiplier rather than a set amount.

I don't know, but it doesn't sound strange that it is a multiplier. At least the Daizenshuu descibres the Super Saiyan as using the hidden powers of someone, which is a multiplicator. The same is probably true for the Kaio-ken.

But what exactly is the "hidden powers" anyway? An explanation is that normally someone only has access to a small amount of his strength, and for a Saiyan that amount is less than 0.25% (1/400). In Rou Kaioshin case, he can make them use 1,000%, so not even the Super Saiyan makes difference anymore.

Assuming the power given by Rou Kaioshin is proportional, the question would be if the difference beetween Gohan from Trunks' future and Innocent Boo is higher than Gohan during the Boo saga and Evil Boo. These are some grey areas, so frankly I don't know the answer.

If it's proportional to current power I see Future Gohan getting horribly slaughtered by Dabra, let alone Fat Boo.

Here's another match up:

SS3 Goku (Boo Saga, but after training another day in RoSaT) vs Super Boo.

General Rilldo is stated to be stronger than Majin Boo but it was never expletively shown how much stronger so it can swing either way. :?
