Deadliest Warrior

I've been watching the hell out of this show for the past month. Its pretty damn entertaining. They pick two different classes of warriors or groups, pick 5 main weapons for each side and compare their killing potential. Then in the end, they run a bunch of simulations in a computer and show the end battle of who wins. If you haven't watched the show before, give it a try. Its probably the best show I've seen on spike tv in a long time. Theres going to be a marathon of it this sunday followed by a new episode. Usually the episodes are on tuesday nights tho.

My only gripe with the show is that I don't think they give enough credit to a non-lethal weapon. Some weapons are designed to disarm, immobilize or stun an enemy, etc. But to me it seems like they don't care for a non-lethal weapon's ability to increase the deadliness of the accompanying weapons.

I loved the William Wallace episode, that claymore would decapitate at least three people in a single swing. Damn! X'D

i've seen that couple times before.

i remember it was pirate vs knight and they were comparing "defense" of each other and i'm like seriously? armor plate vs bare skin? do you really need to compete that one? anyway musket ball couldn't penetrate and one of them failed to fire at all. it's pretty cool show though

I know! Thats the other thing that annoys me. Its like they don't take armor or shields into account for defence, just whether or not their armor or shields have spikes on them and can kill as a secondary advantage.

yea all they are looking for is death blow from first strike as if they are just gonna stand there and take it lol
