Original subtitles

A knight. Sword -wielding slayer of the medieval age.

A pirate.

A murderous killer of the high seas.

Who is deadliest?

To find out, our world -class fighters are testing history's most lethal

weapons.

Using 21st century science, we'll see what happens when the two warriors go

-to -toe.

No rules, no safety, no mercy.

It's a duel to the death to decide who is the deadliest

warrior.

In this Los Angeles fight, we've brought together combat experts.

Scientists. Beautiful.

An ER doctor.

And a weapons arsenal for the ages.

The goal. To decide who would win a death match between two of history's

famous warriors.

A knight. The legendary armored battle tank of 15th century France.

Versus a pirate. The 18th century cutthroat who terrorized the Caribbean.

To find out how deadly these warriors are, we'll test their most lethal

with state -of -the -art instruments.

Scientist Jeff Damoline will collect the injury data.

From those measurements, I'd be able to tell you if it would have fractured the

skull or not.

ER physician Armand Dorian will assess the injuries that each fighter delivers.

The weapons that we're seeing today are very interesting. We've got a knight who

has this unbelievable set of armor.

But we've got this pirate who's bringing a gun. Things are going to get

exciting, especially for me as a physician.

Computer whiz Max Geiger will track the test results.

He'll input the data into a battle simulation program developed by

Studios.

I've had to customize this program a little bit for Pirate vs.

Knight because we're dealing with the advent of black powder weapons.

Guns are really going to be a game changer here.

The computer will process the data to determine the victor in a true -to -life

fight to the death between a knight and a pirate.

Medieval combat expert and army veteran David Coretti will lead the charge for

the knights.

The knight is the toughest warrior of all time.

They had honor, but they were killers.

Competitive sword fighter.

And combat historian Josh Poore will demonstrate the fighting techniques of

Middle Ages.

A knight lived on the battlefield.

They were an extremely deadly and extremely effective fighting force. They

the nobility because they were the upper crust. They were the elite.

The knight's weapons and tactics evolved during nine crusades and almost a

thousand years of war.

They were the Green Beret of their time.

They knew how to use all their weapons for maximum killing power.

By the 15th century, French knights had perfected the twin arts of killing and

staying alive.

They have honor, they have the weapon, they have everything that the seasoned

warrior needs in order to win the battle.

In combat, knights grew strength from non -stop training and the belief they

were on a mission from God.

There is good, there is evil.

God was good. Anybody else who didn't believe in God was evil. They knew that

God was on their side, and they carried that with them into battle.

But our pirate experts believe the night is going down.

Historical armaments maker Michael Triplett is an expert on pirate guns,

and tactics.

The pirate motto, get in, get out.

Hit them hard, hit them fast, take what you want and leave.

Professional sword fighter and pirate combat specialist, David Hernandez,

defends the pirate way of war.

Pirates are trained warriors and soldiers.

The night's going to be slow and his weapons are completely outdated.

Pirates are better tacticians and they're better fighters and warriors.

British pirates learn their fighting skills in the Navy during a 10 -year war

against Spain and France.

But when peace was declared, the sailors were out of work.

What can they do? They're not farmers. They're not merchants.

They're soldiers. They kill people, take ships. If the government's not going to

give them work, piracy gives you the opportunity to go in, do what you do

and you get to keep what you take.

Honed by years of war, pirate tactics were brutal and effective.

The boarding party from a pirate crew, they were the Delta Force.

Fire!

Pirates, warmasters are shocking off.

You've got pieces of metal, flesh, wood flying all over the place.

Next thing you know, you've got guys standing in front of you with blades

and just ripping into you.

So how would history's most ruthless thief fare against a knight who kills

honor? A knight, in point of fact, his duty would be to exterminate the

A knight represents the same government that suppressed these pirates.

He's a sinner. And he is everything that the knight stands to rid the world of.

Knights are upper class.

Pirates are lower class.

But you put a weapon in that pirate's hand, and you are now on equal terms.

I think the pirate is going to take this battle all the way. He's better

equipped, better armed, and a lot more savage.

The knight has armor, and he's got far superior short -range weapons. I think

the knight's going to win.

One of the night's most lethal short -range weapons was designed to crush,

smash, and destroy.

The Morning Star, a heavy ball of brutality swung by a chain, the maximum

impact.

This is called the Morning Star. This is a no -joke, no -holds -barred killing

weapon. This will crush anything that it touches, bottom line. If I'm just

standing here holding this, it requires me to be wearing all this gear. It's a

dangerous weapon.

What I think makes rotational weapons like this so great is that they're so

unpredictable. So I would just love to test this and see what kind of damage we

can get.

The target, a gel torso with the same consistency as human flesh and bone.

We have tissue and bone and heart and lung that's almost exactly the same as a

human body.

High -tech sensors will record the force of the hit.

We're good? Yeah, we're good.

The Morningstar can kill both victim and user. Tonight, David Caretti wears a

modern Kevlar helmet.

You ready?

Three, two, one, go!

Yeah!

Nice,

Dave!

Look at that carnage. That's fun.

Oh, nice.

Emptied his brain.

Oh, wow. Where is it? You can check your shoes.

That pressure was over 1 ,300 pounds per square inch. That's over 17 times the

amount required to fracture the skull. That's insane. You didn't just split his

head open. You split it in two.

All the good stuff that you want to protect, it's gone.

I'd love to see a pirate from the business end of this dick.

So the Morningstar, I think, should actually be called the Goodnightstar. We

just thought I'd crush a skull, get into the brain.

Which means that warrior is dead.

What do we got?

Okay, here it comes.

Oh, breathe in the nose.

There goes the jaw.

Holy cow.

This bone, this cheekbone.

Your mandibles are gone.

Hey, guys.

You ready for this? He's just a bag of blood and skin. Check this out.

Okay.

That was the hit that broke the spine.

That looks like that would hurt.

Morning, Blackbeard. Oh, look at the little spurt.

I mean, you know, you guys were hitting at half a man who wasn't moving.

Do you have any armor to protect against this? I got legs. All you have to do is

sidestep to either direction and you miss.

A knight isn't going to sit there and let you run away, which I know is in a

pirate's fashion. So what's your strategy against this?

Besides running.

Well, no, see, you're thinking about running away. I'm talking about running

around. I would love to see a pirate move that fast.

He would be the new world record holder for the 100 -yard dash. He's not

supposed to square up on you. He's supposed to scare you. He comes out of

nowhere and he puts your brains on the floor when you're not looking. That's

whole point of the night's mission.

There's a whole arsenal over there that you guys won't even see coming.

Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on.

Our experts review the test results for the simulation program.

Anything inside the radius of that morning star?

It's a kill shot. It's a lethal blow no matter what happens. Even the knight

himself, I think, is in peril.

The knights kick off the battle with a killing strike.

The pirates ready their response.

There's a reason the knight is no longer around and the pirate still is.

Coming up, the pirates introduce the knights to gunpowder.

The battle takes an explosive turn to determine who is their deadliest

Inside our weapons lab, the battle is brewing between two warriors who

their world.

Fire! A pirate marauder from the 18th century Caribbean versus

a knight from 15th century France.

This matchup is so cool because these warriors have never met in history

this show.

When these two warriors face off, they'll each bring their own arsenal of

weapons.

The knight had the best gear, the best weapons.

He had the best of everything that you could possibly imagine because they were

the upper crust. They were the elite. No contest.

The pirate's got firearms.

That is the number one thing that's going to take the knight from up here on

high horse to six feet under.

Our pirate blasts in with a granado.

flintlock pistol, blunderbuss, cutlass, and boarding axe.

Our knight is armed to the teeth with a morning star, crossbow, halberd, and

broadsword. He is also encased in steel.

The knight was covered head to toe in armor, so they didn't have to worry

necessarily about blows coming in, arrows flying at them. They were able to

concentrate completely on what was in front of them.

Crushing heads, people being cleaved left and right.

There's a knight charged through the battlefield.

These guys were the first tanks.

Our knight experts believe their plate armor is the ultimate full -body

yet flexible enough for combat.

I have armor on, and he doesn't. We both clash heads.

I have my mobility, my flexibility. I've got my weapon, I've got my shield.

There's not a whole lot that he has to stop me, whereas I've got all this.

The knight is a trained warrior who's got this unbelievable coat of armor,

would protect all soft tissue injuries. So that's a big advantage for him. The

pirate has no armor. But pirates have something they think is even better.

The forerunner of the modern grenade.

Pirates love things that go boom.

The grenade.

A clay pot filled with a lethal mixture of gunpowder, iron nails, and lead shot.

Grenades are great for causing confusion.

Smoke, fire, shrapnel, ripping your opponent to shred.

Lob this at a distance, and then go in for the kill.

The knight is not going to expect this.

Now we've got something new. We've got a grenada. We've got a concussion force

that we've got to deal with.

You can't see it coming. If it hits you, it's going to do some damage. A knight

in shining armor can't defend against something like that. A pirate's knight

disagree about what will happen when Grenado meets.

plate armor.

His armor holds, his shield holds fast, his body is completely untouched. You

hit a knight in armor and you got one toasty knife.

To settle the debate, our team heads to the demolition range to test the

Granado's power on three knight stand -ins.

We've put a couple of pigs in our rig, gentlemen.

Including one wearing a protective coat of iron.

There's no way that this is going to create enough force to go through that

plate. The knight doesn't have a chance. That's a huge blast, and the shrapnel

itself is just going to rip through anything that it's close to.

I may knock him on his butt, but he's still got the armor to protect him. I

mean, even his butt will be safe. There's only one way to find out. Let's

it. All right, let's light it up.

Three, two, one, go!

At such close proximity.

Yeah, baby!

The Grenado got the pig flesh.

Massive, massive lateral lacerations. This guy, this guy is toast.

That guy is toast everywhere armor is not covering.

I mean, look at this.

Just massive damage ripped right through the skin, right through the muscle.

Check that out. I mean, it's like three inches right inside the pig there. The

armor is heavily dented, but not pierced. We're talking about the

We're talking about how the armor held up. It looks like everything's pretty

solid. Yeah, there's some dings and some dents. You know, it's a nice trick, but

that's all it is.

Serious, serious.

We just saw.

Shrapnel may not be a death blow when wearing armor, but there are other

to consider.

One, it causes a pressure wave. That's like a blunt trauma all over the body.

Number two, it causes a loud bang.

That causes disorientation, confusion.

And the third thing that is probably the most deadly is the shrapnel.

Shrapnel, unpredictable, flies out in every different direction.

And the likelihood that it's going to get a kill is pretty high.

Granado packs a knockout punch.

But the knights still believe their armor will protect them from danger.

You know, a knight's going to have multiple layers. The pig only had one.

Even with something like that, a knight's not going to be downed. They're

to be able to continue to fight because the armor and the training that they

have is going to come into play.

Highly trained knights were bred for battle.

The knight was generally born into the fold. As they were raised, they were

constantly being tested against each other.

Knights have been training their entire lives in numerous different weapons.

At a young age, you're already fighting with the best of the best of the best.

French knights lived and breathed combat.

and will resolve to kill for their king.

A knight who fights for honor will always come out stronger than somebody

fights for themselves.

The strongest pirate wouldn't be as strong as the weakest knight.

There's this misconception that pirates are a bunch of random villagers that

find their way onto some rowboat and then loot and pillage and do whatever.

The reality side of it is that they're soldiers.

They're trained sailors, trained for combat, and they handle their business.

Pirates were outlaws for whom losing was not an option.

Anywhere you go, if they know you're a pirate, you're a dead man.

So pirates are not going to show any mercy because they know very well that

mercy is going to be shown on them.

They're tough.

There's nothing about them that's going to falter, especially if they come

across someone who's pampered like a knight.

Both of our teams are confident in victory.

But which has the superior special weapons?

So far, we've seen the Knight's Morning Star and the Pirate's Granado. And the

Knight's Morning Star is far more lethal than I imagined.

But that said, he's got to close the distance to be able to use it, and I'm

sure he's going to be able to get past the Pirate's Granado.

In Special Weapons, the edge goes to the Pirate's Granado.

But the Knights are ready to return fire.

Coming up, two legendary fighters duel to the death to determine who is the

deadliest.

Medieval Knight versus seafaring pirate.

Two warriors destined for a deadly collision.

The knight fights for honor, respect, for king, for country.

These knights, they're pampered, they're pompous, they stay in the back with

their suits of armor, and they actually send people like the pirates to go do

the dirty work. The pirate is an infidel. He's a sinner. A pirate would

of those people who were picking on the weak.

Greed is a weak reason to be fighting.

Pirates go out there on a mission.

They're trained, and they have purpose.

He is everything that a knight stands for.

to rid the world of. A pirate would absolutely enjoy taking down a knight,

killing him and ripping him to pieces.

But if the knight has his way, the pirate will never get close enough to

touch him.

Gentlemen, I have for you the crossbow, the original sniper rifle.

The obelisk crossbow could pierce armor from 200 feet away.

Here are the bolts, your basic wooden one and the iron bolt.

This here is the tickler, like a hair trigger. It just takes one little

And when you do, it goes.

So is there a kick on it? There's absolutely no kick on it. All the force

going forward. And this part right here is called the table. That's where you're

going to put the bolt. The bow fires wood or iron bolts at lightning -fast

speed.

So what I want to know is which of these are you going to put in that pirate?

That iron bolt. And it's going straight through his heart.

So what we have here is a speed trap or a chronometer. It's got two laser beams.

As the weapon passes through the first laser beam, it starts the timer. As it

passes through the second laser beam, it stops the timer. At a known distance

and a known time, we have the speed of that weapon.

That's 115 .8 feet per second, Max.

Roughly 78 miles an hour. Let's go take a look. As a former paramedic, Jeff

knows this crossbow bolt can kill.

Based on the velocity of that crossbow, this is about a 55, 56 -foot range

weapon. So what are we looking at here?

Okay, so we've gone to the top part of the liver, pancreas.

Let me pull this out and see what kind of depth we got.

Ooh.

It's pretty good. Two and a half inches.

It's enough to hit vital organs if it goes between ribs.

A shot like that to the throat or the face, I mean, that's game over.

This is so deadly that it was banned in 1139 by the Pope because it was deemed

too evil a weapon.

The gospel allowed knights to kill from afar.

But the pirates feel their long -distance weapon is of a higher caliber.

You have various flintlock pistols, which gave the pirate the ability to do

damage at a distance.

The flintlock, lethal foundation of all modern guns.

The flintlock pistol, how it works is when you pull the trigger, that sets a

spark from the flintlock, firing off the black powder on the inside and

projecting that musket ball.

Well, undeniably lethal.

The black powder weapon is not a sure shot.

One of the drawbacks of the flintlock pistol is that you get one shot.

We see in the emergency department many times one bullet is not going to kill

you. There's a very good chance you're not going to get that death blow. Once

you fire it, the pistol is no good to you as far as a pistol is concerned.

You can certainly turn around and use it as a bludgeoning weapon.

A knight's armor is one of his greatest assets.

The plate and the chain.

Firearms. Can't get through that.

The pirates head to the firing range to prove the night's rule.

Let's take a look here. It's a weak spot. You got a little overlap metal

We're going to go for the flattest spot, also the thinnest spot right here. I

think you're pretty much toast looking at that.

There's a reason that the flintlock pistol came out and why armor is

today. Armor is not obsolete today. This armor is obsolete today. Go with that

pistol. Let's do it now.

High -speed armor ready on my mark.

Three, two, one.

Fire in the hole.

All clear.

The flintlock dents the armor, but doesn't penetrate.

The name of the game when you're firing flintlock smoothbore, it doesn't

necessarily go where you want it to.

Just under where I wanted, I wanted up here.

However, when it doesn't go where you want it to, I think that's a bit of an

issue, Gary. I wouldn't be so quick to judge. I mean, I know that if I got hit

with something like this, it'd probably knock me on my ass. Getting winded,

getting knocked on your ass, that's not what this game is about.

This is not a lethal blow.

Pirate does carry minimum usually four, six pistols. So he has four, six shots.

What I've seen from its accuracy and its inability to penetrate armor, I am

completely discounting that flintlock pistol as an effective weapon against

Knight.

Here's the bullet. I wanted to give you something to remember me by, just so you

keep in mind that you can't penetrate a Knight's armor.

High -speed footage reveals the armor deflecting the bullet.

All you guys in your firearms, what happened?

This is a flintlock pistol against night armor. Night armor wins hands down.

Flintlock against armor.

Crossbow versus flesh.

The knight takes the edge in long -range weapons.

But the pirate is about to pull the trigger on the firearm with a lot more

for the blast.

Yeah, this will knock them on their ass.

Coming up, two legendary fighters unleash their nastiest weapon yet.

To decide who is the deadliest warrior.

Pirate versus knight. Two deadly warriors with opposite fighting

styles.

The knight attacked his enemies head on. A knight absolutely was an unstoppable

force, whether mounted or on foot.

There was nothing that was going to stop a knight from reaching his goal,

whether it was taking a castle or, in this case, selling a pirate.

A pirate was a master of deception.

They were warriors. They were master tacticians. In fact, many of the tactics

that pirates used are still used today by many of the special forces.

For example, a Spanish ship that's sailing sees another ship on the

That ship happens to be a pirate, but they don't know it. So the pirates make

look like they're friends.

They raise the Spanish flag.

Meanwhile, the pirates are laying in wait inside the ship.

And when the Spanish ship is close enough, they unleash all the cannons.

When the broadside hits the ship, that's the first sign that something's wrong.

No holds barred. They do what they want.

They take what they want.

And if someone gets in their way, they're good to kill.

Pirate's favorite firearm to get what he wants, the blunderbuss. Its one -inch

barrel unleashed a thunderous, devastating blast.

The blunderbuss was the original shotgun.

These were used to clear the decks.

You fire the sucker, and you're dropping whoever's in its way.

You have a load of grape shot in here. You can put in nails, scrap metal,

anything that's going to cut.

shred, rip into somebody, and basically render them useless.

Back at the firing range.

We've loaded this blunderbuss with BB -sized grape shot.

Fire it all!

Ammo that could mean multiple wounds.

It's a hand cannon, son.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

I think your armor is going to have a hard time holding up to that. That's

what I was going to say. I love the size of these, man. I mean, it gives you the

same spread as a shotgun, and yet the weight of those pellets, who knows what

it's going to do to that knight's armor, man. I'm not real convinced by it, so

I'm curious to see what it does with the armor. I would love to see the blood

and bust against some armor.

Three, two, one.

Fire in the hole!

Misfire! You hold it like this, you're fine.

You hold it like this, the black powder runs out.

In turn, there is not enough spark when it's fired to fire.

If the blunderbuss misfires like that, it could cost the pirate his life.

all the knight needs to close the distance and take him down.

But when it does fire... Yeah!

Yeah! That's what I'm talking about.

The knight's armor finally gives way.

Now that is power.

That's through the double plate, too.

That's through the double plate. One shot. One shot.

Spreads several places. This is an effective weapon. No question about it.

I think armor's off the table. That knight is flat on his ass.

I mean, just a matter of how many times that...

That that's misfired.

Man, it sounds like you're trying to backpedal against the evidence we can

right here.

Though most of the gunshot went wide of the target, one pellet penetrated the

double plate armor right above the heart.

Well,

that's definitely going to put him to his knees, if not put him on his butt.

based on these results, if I'm a pirate, I'm ditching the flintlock pistol. It's

all blunderbuss.

But the knight team is not packing it in.

A knight's going to have a shield, so getting through that extra layer of

it's going to be a big factor.

And the knights have another weapon, built to upend an armed opponent.

The halberd. A slashing, thrusting, hooking poleaxe.

This was one of the most deadly weapons ever seen on the battlefield.

It was proven through history to be able to take heads and do a lot of

destruction.

There's the axe front for the slashing, the piercing.

You could pull a rider from horseback.

It was extremely effective in piercing armor.

But how are you going to use it against the pirate?

It would help keep him at a distance.

The blunderbuss, it's only good by a few feet. He's not going to get me from 50

yards back.

So yes, he has the option of firing when he wants to, but he gets one shot.

If I was the pirate, I'd be keeping my distance. As much as possible.

Let's give it a test. All right.

The team brings in a fresh victim, and the knights have something to prove.

Okay, Josh, you ready?

Yes, sir.

On my mark, we give you about two and a half seconds, so one splash to the head,

one pierce to the torso.

High speeds armed?

High speeds armed.

Three, two, one, go.

The proof is in the pudding. The proof is in the pudding, man.

I noticed you picked up the tempo after the war cry there.

When you want carnage.

Yeah.

That's just blown completely through. You only need a little bit of the brain.

mean, if the pirate doesn't take advantage of his distance weapon, he's

meat. Within the conversation, just imagine what this could do to an

opponent. Absolutely.

Open flesh, open season on pirates. My favorite knight weapon so far is the

halberd. There's no question. I mean, the versatility. You can pierce, you can

slash, you can hook. I mean, if the pirate gets within 8, 10 feet, that's

over. Yeah. When it comes to squishy pirate flesh.

It's not really a problem because if you're used to having to penetrate

it becomes very easy when you don't have that in the way.

Oh, nice.

It goes to the back of the head.

But is the Hellbird as effective as the Blunderbuss?

I don't have to worry about this misfiring.

Knives don't misfire.

I'm giving the edge to the pirate based on the Blunderbuss.

There's no way around it.

Blunderbuss all the way.

In mid -range weapons, the pirate gets the edge for the blunderbuss.

This match has only started to get ugly.

The broadsword is the premier weapon of the night. This will definitely render

anybody useless.

Coming up, both sides reveal their signature sidearm to determine who will

the deadliest warrior in a

showdown between a knight and a pirate.

A big question is whether the pirate's gun will stop the battle before it even

starts. When you bring a gun into the game, everybody wants to jump to that

side.

However, the pirate gun is not the gun of today. This is not something with a

rapid reload and you have multiple shots at. He's got one shot.

There's a very good chance you're not going to get that death blow.

And sometimes there's no shot at all.

So far.

The knights aren't worried.

The pirates do carry firearms, but the knight is covered from head to toe in

armor. And sometimes it's the warrior and not the weapon.

And that's where the knight has the heads up.

But if you get in close quarters with a knight, forget about it. There's no

chance.

Up close, knight and pirate had one thing in common.

Each wielded a razor -sharp blade.

The broadsword is the premier weapon of the knight.

The broadsword, a double -edged steel blade designed to bash armor and break

bones.

It weighs a great deal. It is a hacking weapon.

It will break your bones.

This would cut off a limb.

This broadsword would probably hack right through a pirate.

A pirate would cross swords with his own legendary blade.

The cutlass.

This deviously curved sword is designed to slash in tight spaces.

This weapon is designed to get in close.

Broad sword isn't.

Broad sword is designed to bludgeon.

In order to do that, you have to have room. You have to have space to bring

sword up and bring it down on your opponent. Here, I'm able to step in.

Still cause the same amount of damage, but I don't have to be far away to do

Just settle the dispute.

A new target for both swords to take a swing at.

Well, I've got a surprise for you.

He's going to come flying down from the rafters at you.

So you're going to thrust or cut this as it comes flying down at you. I will be

slicing through it. Just a horizontal slash cut and try to get all the way

through the sucker. Okay, let's set this thing up.

Let's do it.

Three, two, one.

The

broadsword

proves it's much more than a bludgeoning weapon.

Let's do it.

Bring it, Jolly Roger.

Now, pirate expert David Hernandez steps up to the plate with his cutlass.

Both weapons were very impressive.

This is trauma 101.

You have a moving target able to step out of the way and still deliver a

significant strike.

Congratulations, guys. When it comes to swords, both of the swords wasted a

pick. I'm 50 -50 at this point for me.

Your drained weapons.

Both swords are equally lethal.

But before our experts tally their stats, finish it.

Pirates reveal a wicked short -range weapon that they want to test directly

against the knight's armor.

All right, gentlemen.

I have here a boarding axe.

The boarding axe.

Designed to hook in wood vessels, chop through thick ropes, and smash heads.

This bad boy is for cutting, axing, and then my

favorite, the pike end.

You can get through something like that? Let's see how good my can opener works.

The pirates are so confident, they target the thickest armor on the

body, the helmet.

He has really limited vision. I mean, just moving a slight way out of this

I could take him from the side. That just makes him a sitting target.

But does the pirate axe have what it takes to puncture the knight's steel

helmet? High -speed cameras armed.

Three, two...

One, go.

Nice.

You pierced the knight's armor.

That I did.

I was not expecting that.

Told you this tool would get it done. According to the pressure mat, it was

33 PSI, but the pressure mat was in this area here, so we're a little bit off.

But at the same time, I mean, that makes a good case for the helmet doing its

job. The axe punctured the helmet, but did not reach the skull.

I don't see the hole. I don't think it's gone all the way through.

The boarding axe made a little hole in the helmet.

Couldn't call it a kill shot.

Didn't strike anything. There was no blood. There was no trauma.

He's got nothing.

Go ahead. Take your best shot.

We'll leave you in half, and then we'll feel better about ourselves.

In a test of short -range offense versus defense.

The knight's armor gets the edge.

Our experts have completed their tests and find they differ on which weapon

give these warriors a killing edge.

This is an all -distance game to me. The Grenado, the Blunderbuss, the Crossbow.

That's what this fight comes down to, in my opinion. You know, I think you're

still underrating the Plantlock Pistol.

I know you hate it, but I think it's a wild card. You can't hit the broad side

of a barn with that thing.

I mean, even at 12 feet, we're almost in range of the halberd. The guy's going

to cut him to pieces at that point. But at the same time, it's a fight where

we've got a guy who's completely unarmored versus perhaps the most

armored person we've seen so far.

Yeah. Well, let's let the computer decide.

Coming up, Pirate Night.

The battle begins.

Pirates and knights have finished the tests of their most lethal weapons. It's

time to find out who is the deadliest warrior.

Our experts tested four knight weapons.

The Morning Star, Crossbow, Halberd, Broadsword, as well as the Knight

Armor. They tested the Pirate Grenado, Blindlock Pistol, Blunderbuss, Cutlass,

and Boarding Axe.

Both warriors wielded wickedly lethal special weapons.

The Morningstar is a terrifying weapon.

It does massive damage everywhere it swung.

That said, it didn't have me cheering quite like the Grenado did.

Edge Pirate.

For long -range weapons, the team tested the pirate's flintlock pistol against

the knight's crossbow.

The flintlock pistol was hit or miss, very unreliable.

The pirate's guns are not going to be able to strike like the crossbow from a

distance and get a kill.

Edge. Night.

Medium range. The pirate's version of a shotgun went up against the knight's

halberd. The halberd was my favorite weapon of the night so far.

However, the blunderbuss? Pick ass.

Edge. Pirate.

At short range, we tested each warrior's trademark sword.

Looking at this through the computer, they're in a dead heat. I can't really

give the edge to one weapon or the other.

Two warrior's swords were even.

The final test of short range offense versus defense, the pirate's boarding

took on the knight's armor.

The pirate does have some impressive weaponry, but the knight has armor and

lot more disciplined than the pirate.

Edge Knight.

Max now loads the results into a state -of -the -art computer program that will

determine the winner.

It will be a battle of opposites.

Direct versus deceptive.

Armor against flesh.

A warrior with a code of honor against a thief who takes no prisoners.

To prevent a fight from being won by a single lucky shot, Max will simulate the

battle a thousand times.

It's time to determine who is the deadliest warrior.

No!

Thank you.

This is a demonstration of anything. It's a demonstration of the advance of

technology.

And just what a crucial, crucial factor that is in winning any fight.

Halberd was the knight's most lethal weapon.

But it wasn't enough.

The pirates Blunderbuss and Granado had the most kills in the fight.

I thought the knight looked like the better trained warrior.

But the pirate brings the more modern weapon to this fight.

The night was really bringing a knife to a gunfight.

Court the best man won. We won because our tactics weren't right.

Next Tuesday.

This is the closest thing to a literal bloodbath. Which crew will own the

streets? New York's Mafia.

serious case of lead poisoning. Or Tokyo's notorious Yakuza gang.

Blame and blood. Two violent underworlds go head to head, but only one will

remain standing on an all new deadliest warrior.

Yakuza versus Mafia. Next Tuesday at 10 on Spike.
