Jesse James.

The vicious outlaw whose bloody crime sprees made him the most famous bank

robber in America.

Al Capone. The ruthless gangster whose criminal empire bloodied the streets of

Depression -era Chicago.

Who is deadliest?

To find out.

Our world -class fighters are testing history's most lethal weapons.

Fire!

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.

Welcome to the battle zone.

In this high -tech arena, a team of scientists, trauma doctors, and weapons

experts will pull out all the stops and simulate a battle to the death between

America's two most famous outlaw gangs.

The Jesse James Gang.

Daring and murderous criminals who made their mark on the American West by

turning banks into blood -spattered moors.

Versus Al Capone's criminal syndicate.

Bootleggers who kept the streets of 1920s Chicago awash in boobs.

And blood.

Lead biomedical scientist, Jeff Damelin.

We use advanced technology to put the two gangs' weapons to the test.

Every piece of equipment you see here is designed for one purpose. Will that

weapon kill?

And how fast can it kill you? The opposition, Armand Dorian, will examine

the gruesome injuries.

If you hit the right spot, it's an insta -kill. And computer whiz Max Geiger

will track the test findings and enter the data to create a true -to -life

battle between the two gangs, each led by a criminal mastermind.

Jesse James and Al Capone were two of the most successful outlaws that America

ever produced.

They both led vicious gangs, and you can be sure that wherever they went, based

on the weapons they were using, they left a lot of blood in their wake. In

end, only one gang will be left standing to prove who is the deadliest warrior.

Jesse James' weapons will be fired by one of today's most fearfully accurate

gunmen.

Three -time world champion gunslinger, Joey Dillon.

Jesse and his gang were one of the most ruthless gangs in history.

Jesse had no more compunction about cold -blooded murder than eating his

breakfast.

Also weighing in for these legendary gunslingers, sharpshooter and champion

rifleman, J .W. Weissman.

The Jesse James gang, they were brutal.

They murdered without any remorse.

Jesse James was born in Western Missouri in 1847.

When he was just 14, the Civil War tore the state apart.

Pitting neighbor against neighbor in acts of unthinkable violence.

Jesse James was brought into a pretty violent world. He was watching his

neighbors get killed. It was the most politically violent time ever in this

country, especially in Missouri because it was a border state between the north

and the south.

After the Union captured Missouri, Jesse joined up with rebel militias hell

-bent on vengeance, making his first kills bushwhacking Union soldiers.

The James gang were professional killers. They were guerrilla fighters.

And this wasn't some chivalrous unit in the Civil War.

A wanted man after the war, Jesse and his gang used the skills they learned to

strike back, rubbing Northern -owned banks and trains.

First daytime robbery ever recorded was done by the James gang.

Hands up!

Hands up!

Their tactics, their guerrilla -style fighting, unbelievable the way it

translated over.

Went in, got the money, left.

$60 ,000 at that time was unheard of.

The James Gang has some good surprises in store. It's going to blow the Argyle

Sox off these gangsters.

That's news to our Al Capone expert, who both claim blood ties to the homicidal

CEO of the underworld.

Meyer Lansky II is an expert on mafia weapons and tactics.

The grandson and namesake of one of America's most notorious mobsters who

with Capone during Prohibition. They were in this business together.

Whether they liked each other or not, that's a different story.

Johnny Lou Fratto gained his knowledge of Capone operations straight from the

source as the son of Midwest Mafia boss Cock -Eyed Louie Fratto, one of Scarface

Owl's top lieutenants.

If you were lucky enough to work for Al Capone, you would make money. But then

along with that, you had to be tough and you had to be very loyal.

Men suspected of disloyalty were quickly dispatched by Capone himself.

He would not only kill people, but he would disfigure them, brutalize them,

them. If he heard any rumor of anything at all, he wouldn't even question it. He

would just kill you.

Capone's brutal reputation put him on the fast track to success in the

underworld.

By the time he was 26, his empire grossed more than $100 million.

Al Capone was untouchable because get everybody bought off, the police, the

judges, the juries.

There was no way they could get Al Capone. So how would this bloody

between two of America's most notorious gangs go?

We haven't fired a single bullet yet, but I'm giving this one to Capone.

He's bringing modern weapons technology, and that'll take the game.

My edge up front is going to be to Jesse James. History tells us that he's a

great marksman. And for me, the person who can deliver that quick shot and the

kill shot gets the edge.

And the first weapon that James Kang mastered?

The Colt revolver.

Dealing dead six rounds at a time.

When Colt came out with the revolver, it revolutionized the industry.

The technology was amazing to people. Before that, you had single shot, maybe

two shot guns.

The six shooter was like, wow, I can keep shooting, keep shooting. In Jesse's

day, a lead bullet wound was even more lethal than now. Back then, a simple

injury, a puncture wound, an amputation, you're going to die.

To test these rapid fire killers, our experts strap on their holsters and head

out to the firing range.

This thing is concealable.

It's portable.

You got six shots.

You can fire them rapidly if you want.

The James gang was known for carrying sometimes four revolvers at a time. I'm

noticing something. Different barrel length. Why is that?

Shorter the barrel, the less the accuracy is.

You wanted that accuracy.

Let's see if you can shoot. How much damage can a sharpshooter as deadly

accurate as Jesse James do in a bang?

You've got three targets set up. You've got two revolvers, six rounds each. High

-speed camera is going to be timing your draw time from first motion to first

round off. You ready?

I am ready.

What do you guys think?

I think it's nothing. Just how much killing power do these thick shooters

Okay, one round in the face, not quite the no reflex kill zone, but entry

Side of the face, exit wound.

Ooh. Goodbye, motor cortex.

Here's the kill shots in my mind. Subclavian artery with this one. Left

ventricle with this one.

One in the gut, just a boot.

This guy's dead. The gut shot would be one of the worst ways to die back then.

You'd take a couple of days, but you'd still die. Not enough power. Not enough

firepower. We can still show him in the casket.

Take a look at the banker.

That's a Jesse James necktie.

You're using lead for the tie clip.

Got another round straight in the chest.

And door number three, this guy's dead.

So it's three kills in just a shade over seven seconds.

High -speed footage reveals it takes just a quarter of a second for Joey to

his first shot.

Anything under half a second is no dodge zone. So a drive, quarter of a second,

whatever he's aiming at is getting hit. And you think this is fast?

You ought to see riding in a horse 35 miles per hour. I can run faster. You

run faster than that? I didn't think you could run.

Test Jesse James' kill zone when on the move.

J .W. settles up on the outlaw's favorite getaway vehicle.

This is the pride and joy of the Jesse James game. The number one reason why

nobody could catch him, the quarter horse. They went to racetracks, the best

breeders, and they stole the fastest they could get so nobody could catch

All right, now we've got five targets set up over a range of about 25 yards.

Each target, five yards from the last.

Think you're going to be able to peg all of them?

No problem.

J .W., you ready?

I'm ready.

Three, two, one.

Yee -haw!

27 miles per hour.

Is the shooting accurate from a galloping horse? Nothing on that guy.

Let's move on.

Dead thinner. Holy. Right in the chest. That's a kill. One for two.

He's hit the elbow, so that would definitely cause a lot of pain, fracture

elbow, but it's not going to kill him. This is actually a very interesting

This is right under the armpit, and that's definitely going to be a kill

it's going to go through significant structures like the aorta or the heart.

This bearded fellow looks like he's giving you some trouble.

It's clean.

Two kills out of five targets, and one guy hit in the arm. Not too shabby.

The Jesse James team draws first blood.

But coming up...

The Capone experts pull out that big gun.

Jesse James or Al Capone.

Whose gang will be the deadliest warrior?

Inside the Fight Club, experts on America's most dangerous outlaws are

ready for an all -out deathmatch.

Jesse James' gang and Al Capone's monsters are both armed with powerful

arsenals.

The James Gang rides in with Colt revolvers, the Winchester rifle, the

whip, and the Bowie knife.

The Capone Gang fires back with a Tommy gun, a pineapple bomb, brass

knuckles, and the stiletto knife.

When the weapons are all loaded and the safeties are off, who will walk away

from this bloody beatdown?

The James gang is going to wipe the floor with the Al Capone gang.

Al would be Jesse James because Al had a very keen sense of killing. He had

better weaponry. He had the Tommy gun.

The Tommy gun.

A mechanized monster capable of mowing down everything in its path.

Al's at the Thompson machine gun from World War I. Al bottom.

He found that they were the most useful tool for his business because of the

rapid fire, 600 to 700 rounds per minute. They call them a chopper because

basically just annihilated anybody.

The Tommy Gunn became infamous through the St. Valentine's Day massacre when

Capone put the squeeze on a rival gang run by Bob's Moran.

The element of surprise is what Capone used the most.

They went in there dressed as cops, put everybody on the wall.

Mr. Tommy Gunn comes in, kills everybody.

But is the Tommy gun as quick a killer as Jesse James' revolver?

We're going to be testing how fast will that weapon empty its magazine.

And also, how fast is your quick draw? Because if the cowboy can take you out

first, you're toast.

You guys think you're ready for this? Oh, we're ready. I'm ready.

Cowboys are going back to Brokeback Mountain.

Meyer, you ready?

Yeah, I'm ready.

Three, two...

Okay, let's take a look at this. I mean, the Tommy gun is always impressive, but

this by itself is an instant kill. But look at this. Braid him right across the

abdomen, cutting this guy in half.

This guy is a dead goner.

Next guy, right through his thigh, right through his heart. He's got one right

under the sternum and right through the apex of the heart, the tip of the heart,

which bleeds like stink.

This guy is going to die in a couple of seconds.

This one is a little deceptive, guys. He looks relatively clean, but where he's

been shot is an extremely dangerous spot to get shot. It's a surgical nightmare.

It's very difficult to get to. These guys die in about an hour. They're alive

long enough to basically spread your legend, say who did it, and then die. In

summary, two insta -kills and one guy who's going to die in about an hour.

Break it down by the numbers. Three insta -kills with Jesse James.

Two out of three insta -kills with Al Capone. Total wound.

Mortal Wound. It's called sloppy.

No. No talent.

This was quick. This was fast.

And there was no expert involved in this. This is anybody holding that gun.

Anybody. You took your whole drum to emptying all these guys, and you got a

kill shots, which means you missed most of the time. The important thing here is

that it took 6 .32 seconds to empty that magazine to get all those 50 shots out.

But there is one other number that we need to see, and that's how fast your

quick draw is.

A high -speed comparison.

reveals that Jesse James' expert is able to draw and fire the revolver in about

half the time the Capone team needs to fire their Tommy gun's first blast.

It's entirely possible that as he's bringing the gun up, one of our Jesse

gang members could just bail.

So just to be clear, who drew the gun, leveled it, and fired in less than half

the amount of time it took any gangster to fire their Tommy gun?

Thanks, J .W. That's great, but you can't beat a 700 -round -per -minute

like I got. Don't just bring up speed because you saw the speed on that horse.

Well, we had speed, too, only it was called a car.

You know, it doesn't go to the bathroom on the street or anything like that. So

why don't we see what this does from the car?

So drive -by prohibition style? Do it.

The wheels of choice, a 1929 Hudson Super Six, once owned by Al Capone's

brother.

White walls, suicide doors, a hit never looked this good again. We've got the

same five targets, only this time they've been swapped out. It's a bunch

toughs muffling in on Capone's turf.

25 yards total distance, five yards between each target. We're going to be

measuring the speed of the car and your hit and miss ratio.

Beautiful. Let's go.

Fire up the car!

You ready?

I'm ready.

Three, two...

A look at the targets reveals that each was hit just once.

Two of the hits are instant kills, and the third is a mortal wound.

You're going to bleed, but it's not an instant kill. This is going right here,

right behind the jaw. So it's going to shut the guy up. He's going to fall to

the ground. He will bleed to death, but it's not instant. This is going to take

at least a couple hours. And if he gets his butt up and gets to an emergency

department, we can save this guy. All you had to focus on was hitting these

targets with 50 rounds.

I only see one shot in each target. That, to me, is a lot of wasted lead. I

agree with you 100%, but it doesn't make a difference. They're both three kills.

Two. Three.

Two, one disputable. The weapon's clumsy. You know, what we've got on our

is you can aim it, you can sight it precision, precision, precision, and you

wasted a lot of ammo with a clumsy gun.

I hit the target more times.

Weak Kang's firearm is the better killer.

Our experts are devised.

That Thompson I thought was going to tear these targets up. It never did. I

mean, I'm blown away by the ineffectiveness of it. I'm going to grow

balls here, and I'm going to give the edge to Jesse James. I respect the

expertise we saw here.

But weapon for weapon, I still have to give the edge to the Tommy. We had two

kills with the revolver, and we've got a little bit more with the Tommy gun.

So I would give the edge to the Tommy gun.

In a hard -fought battle, the Capone gang takes a deadly edge.

The Tommy gun's fearsome reputation doesn't faze the Jesse James experts.

Valentine's Day massacre?

Jeez, it was a massacre because they couldn't get anything.

It took them so long and so many bullets to get anybody?

Jesse James, to me, their legends are bigger than they were.

We know the things that Al did. I think we speculate a lot about Jesse James.

Coming up, the fight moves in close as each gang launches wicked assault.

Jesse James or Al Capone.

Only one can be that deadliest warrior.

Inside the Fight Club, we're moving one step closer to an all -out war

between Jesse James' bank -loving bandits and Al Capone's murderous mob.

These two outlaws had very different methods of running their gangs.

The Jesse James gang was a little different than most because they

democracy, and your life was their life. They protected you, and you protected

them. That may have worked for Jesse Jenkins.

But Al Capone preferred mixing hospitality with homicide.

Al heard a couple of his guys were dealing with a rival gang and trying to

deals, actually.

So they sat down to a nice dinner.

He let them think that he didn't know about it. And the next thing you know,

they pull out a bat and just beat him to death right there to let everybody else

in the gang know not to do that.

Then he would shoot him.

It's lucky they were having a spaghetti dinner because there was a lot of blood.

When a gun was too much, the Capone gang used a silent killer.

The stiletto.

Dead at the click of a button.

The stiletto.

Sharp, easy to conceal, very deadly.

What I like about this gun, it's annoying.

Yikes. What an intimidating, wonderful noise.

Probably the last sound a lot of guys heard. I'm sure.

I don't want to be a downer here, but when it comes to knives, size does

All right, and that's barely bigger than a utility knife. Well, let's go see

what it can do.

Okay, Johnny, we have our ballistics gel torso here. It's got tissue like a

human body. It's got bones. It's got organs, a neck and a head. And you're

to use that stiletto to cause some havoc.

Well, first I'm going to come over here and I'm going to give him a big smile up

here, a rat smile.

This is what happens when you're a rat.

Then I'm going to come down here and work on his gut for a little bit.

Okay, so that to me spells expeller armor.

Node is up and streaming. Can you give me a clean up and down, left, right, and

then a rotation?

Okay. Looks good. There's only one thing left to do. Get him to business.

John, are you ready? I'm ready.

On my go.

Three, two, one.

Slash him!

Oh, man.

Let's go take a look at this damage here.

Let's start with this.

This is a death strike. You cut through here, you're cutting through the carotid

arteries, and you're actually cutting through the windpipe. This is where you

seal the deal.

You actually pull out the gut. You went straight for the belly. You're able to

get through the small intestine and cause this mess.

I'm not that impressed.

I mean, look, I mean, it's like a toothpick, something I carry around my

clean my teeth with.

I'm actually really impressed with what you were able to do with that knife.

Oh, my God.

Look at the surgical cut. He's right across the stomach. That's a death cut

right there.

This is good work.

It's like you're trying to make a smoothie out of his gut.

An impact speed of 16 .5 feet per second. It's like jumping out of your

onto the edge of that stiletto.

This is where I think this weapon is at its maximum potential.

Nice and thin, and it can get right between those ribs, right into that lung

heart. We've got our own answer to that. We've got our own knife. And then a

toothpick, man. It ain't that little.

Jesse James carried a blade more than twice the size.

The Bowie knife.

An outlaw's tool for cutting meat.

Or killing men.

Now this is named after Jim Bowie. This was the weapon of choice for close

combat for anybody in the West. It was a utility weapon.

as well as a weapon. You use this for skinning, cutting your meat, filleting

your meat, gutting. This knife was used for everything.

Okay, well, it's a multitasker. It's a big weapon.

With that said, I would love to test this and see if it can actually kill or

this is just overcompensation, cowboy style.

What we have here is a pig. This is the kind of tissue that you would experience

in a human. This is the best way to see what kind of damage you could do with

that Baba Booey knife of yours.

All right.

We're going to attach the accelerometer just like we did with Johnny.

Are you ready?

Ready. Okay, high speeds up and armed.

Three, two, one, start!

The other thing about this knife is you can throw it.

Okay, I'm definitely going to need my gloves for this one. There's a lot of

trauma and a lot of blood. You went straight through the belly. This is a

intestine here. You can see the kidneys wiggling right here.

I mean, that by itself is enough to cause death, but you went for more. You

straight from the back, and you went straight through all of these ribs with

that knife and carved straight down.

It doesn't seem to be elegant or beautiful or very subtle, but it

the job done.

Oh,

dude, blood fountain.

Well, who wants to walk around with a sword?

Well, if I was your size, I guess there would be a sword.

Bigger is not better. It's not even.

This isn't that big for me. Well, I got to tell you, I'm not that impressed.

Bowie knife or stiletto?

Which blade has the killing edge?

Sure, the Bowie knife did more damage, but the stiletto has a critical three

-inch blade that you need to get inside between the ribs, the soft, squishy

part, and it's concealable.

Edge stiletto.

The edge goes to the Capone gang for the stiletto.

Coming up, both sides pull out their most explosive weapons in the battle to

the deadliest warrior.

Back in the battle zone, two of America's most notorious gangs are about

fight to the death.

Chitty James.

And Al Capone.

The James Gang were fugitives.

always running from the authorities.

He had a network of friends and families that would allow him to hide so he

could strike and then you wouldn't be able to find him and people would

him. But the Capone gang didn't fear the law since they bankrolled the majority

of Chicago's lawmakers.

They all had the money to make anything happen. So if he couldn't buy it, then

watch out because he would just take it.

Capone had an explosive way to take what he wanted.

The pineapple bomb.

A deeply grouped grenade.

A greater shrapnel.

Al Capone used to use these for racketeering purposes. You'd throw it

business window.

You'd go in and ask if they wanted their place fixed back up. If they didn't,

you'd put them out of business.

What kind of high explosives is that bomb packing? We've got a cast iron

exterior, TNT on the inside.

It's got a 50 -foot radius with a 15 -foot kill zone.

To test that claim, a 1920s home equipped with 21st century fences.

So, guys, with this pineapple bomb, two ways to kill a man. One is the shock

wave itself.

Number two is the fragmentation.

How are we going to test that? We'll use these shock watch patches.

We've got one purple shock patch, 37 Gs, roughly equivalent to a 30 miles per

hour car accident.

The green one is a 100 G shock patch.

This white indicator turns red.

Red equals dead.

Okay, Meyer, you got the high speed in place?

Do what you got to do, man.

Run! Run! Get out of there!

Yeah!

Yeah!

That's the way you blow something.

Let's go check this out.

Oh, dude.

Okay, looking at my shock patches, only the 37G is tripped. The 100G is not

tripped, but there's a fist -sized hole in this man's chest.

It wasn't the shock wave that got this guy. It was the frag.

Take a look at this target.

100G is tripped.

This guy is killed by the shock front itself.

That's lethal.

Let's take a look at this guy. I don't think you want to do that, dude. This is

the entire side of his head, and the green patch is tripped.

Take a look at this guy, and I'm not seeing any frag in the head, no frag in

chest.

Wow, one survivor.

He's a lucky one, that's all. And look at the room. Yeah, the room. Well, we'll

call you if we want decorating tips. So we'll say this, this house does look

like a pretty typical mafia construction job, but the important thing here is we

have three kills and one dude showered in bits of his friends.

Jumped it up to 3 ,000 frames per second on this one because I really wanted to

take a look at that blast wave.

Ah.

Pop. Oh, okay.

If you build your house like one of the three pigs.

Look at the damage it did to the body.

That's nothing, man. When you see what we got next, it's going to blow you

Jesse James had his own long -range blaster.

The Winchester Rifle.

Frontier -style firepower.

This is a weapon that was revolutionary in its time.

You can hold 14 in your bottom chamber.

Cock it.

Load one more in.

Drop it back down to your safety.

And you're ready to go.

I mean, we've seen Capone's pineapple grenade. How is this going to stack up?

There is no definite aim with the pineapple grenade. You don't know where

going. This, you put it where you want it.

Jeff places the targets in the same position they were inside the Capone

J .W. will have five seconds, the same ignition time as the grenade, to take

them out.

Three, two, one, fire!

Woo!

Okay,

guys, it's all up in the numbers now.

What do we got here?

I'm seeing neck shots, bro.

This one by itself will kill. This one will throw you to the ground and, you

know, you'll die in a bit, you know, maybe in an hour.

Placement's exactly perfect on all these.

And this one had an added pleasure here of...

tearing the person's face in half.

Wanted to show what it would do to the skull, you know? Looks like we got three

instant kills and one that would definitely die within an hour. And this

under five seconds before the grenade would even explode.

Nice shooting, Tex.

Which gang has the more lethal long -range killer?

Capone's pineapple grenade versus Jesse James' Winchester rifle.

Longer range, Winchester.

Greater accuracy, Winchester.

More kills, Winchester.

A long -range weapon?

The edge goes to the James Gang for the Winchester Rifle.

Coming up, the two gangs go head -to -head.

Who will be their deadliest warrior?

Al Capone or Jesse James?

Our team of experts is within striking distance of determining which gang, each

led by a criminal mastermind,

is deadliest. It's just no contest.

Got Jesse James, just ruthless fighters that live off the land and ambush and

disappear. Al Capone's gang was skilled in street fighting and Jesse James's

wasn't, so they were constantly fighting, battling for territorial

There was, people paid off. People murdered every day.

But Capone and his henchmen's street fighting was an art.

Their instrument for creating brush strokes in blood.

Brass knuckles.

Perfect for turning a hard punch into a lethal blow.

This is the great equalizer. This is what allows somebody my size to fight

somebody your size.

Today, brass knuckles are illegal to carry in every state.

To see why, Jeff uses a tech scan pressure mat to record the force of

bare -handed punch.

Hey, Johnny, you ready? I'm ready.

Okay, as hard as you can, man.

Nice. Ooh, nice.

Johnny's fist strikes with 45 PSI.

Not enough to break your bone.

Let's give it a try with the brass knuckle. You got it.

Okay, it's waiting on you, man, whenever you're ready.

We're getting about 75 PSI. So basically what these brass knuckles are telling

me... is that they double your punching effectiveness.

Yeah.

The Combrass Knuckles crack a human skull.

We've got the high speed set up.

So, tell me, where are you going to hit it? I'm going to hit it right in the

temple. Perfect.

On my count.

Three, two, one, practice!

Johnny, that looked like it hurt, man.

Check it out.

When you see blood coming out of your skull, we know it's coming from inside

brain. The most important part about a fractured skull is a depressed skull

fracture. Once it goes inward, the chance of lethality goes up

So this is a kill. If somebody gets that type of a punch to the head, they're

going to die.

There it comes.

Second hit.

Okay, there is that skull fracture.

Brass knuckles are the best.

I didn't know about that.

The brass knuckles was just some nice jewelry, but for taking somebody out, I

want a two -and -a -half -pound chunk of iron that I can swing right against

your skull.

James Gang's bludgeoning weapon.

Prove you don't need bullets to kill with a gun.

Another useful tool in the cowboy arsenal was the whip. And when you were

Jesse James gang member, it was the pistol whip.

And the pistol whip out bludgeoned Brass Knuckle.

We saw from the Brass Knuckle, it topped out at 75 PSI. We're going to see if

you can match or beat those numbers.

Okay, the mat is up and armed.

Joe, are you ready? I am almost ready.

All right, I'm ready.

Okay, the mat's waiting for you.

Whatever you go.

All right.

Oh, yeah.

Wow. Breath knuckles maxed out at 75 PSI.

81 PSI to fracture a skull.

Boom. Right up to 182, bro.

I mean, the most important thing that you're seeing here is a basilar skull

fracture. It goes across from here. This is instant death. What happens when you

just get a fracture here, you'll start bleeding around your eyes, bleeding out

your ears.

This guy is unconscious and dead right when you hit him. So obviously, coming

down one hit, squashing like a melon, blood oozing out, I think it's pretty

obvious. How much does the gun weigh?

Again, we're concealing the brass knuckles.

You're going to walk around with something that's two or three pounds.

he's already got it.

It's right there. He's carrying it. Why not use it?

The two teams disagree.

But for our experts, it's an easy call.

Cruising the numbers for me, you only saw 75 PSI with the brass knuckle, over

182 with the pistol whip.

Three strikes versus one strike. It's a no -brainer. Pistol whip gets the edge.

In Special Weapons, the James Gang takes the edge.

Who knows? They need to hit anybody with a pistol anyway.

You know, it's a pistol.

Use it as a pistol.

With the testing complete, the results are entered into the simulation program.

Coming up, Jesse James.

Al Capone, the battle begins.

The moment of truth has arrived.

Our experts have run their tests on the weapons wielded by the brutal gangs run

by outlaw gunslinger Jesse James and the notorious mobster Al Capone.

It's time to find out which of these criminal outfits would kill the other.

Jesse easily comes out on top. The guy can ride, shoot, stab. It's going to be

really no contest. Group of fighters versus bad businessmen. In a toe -to

battle between Al Capone and Jesse James, no question Al Capone would kill

all day.

Our teams tested each gang's deadly arsenal.

For long -range weapons, we tested the lethal range of the Winchester rifle

against the pineapple bomb.

While the pineapple grenade can do a lot of damage to a lot of targets all at

once, you have to get up close and throw.

The pure range and accuracy of the Winchester rifle and skilled hands are

what makes the difference here. Plus, it's pretty quick on the reload, so you

can drop a lot of targets.

My edge goes to the Winchester.

Edge, Jesse James.

Mid -range weapons, the killing power of Jesse James' revolvers, were compared

to Al Capone's Tommy Gun.

Hey, the revolver was very impressive. He was very accurate with it. But you're

still delivering one shot. As opposed to the Tommy gun, you're going to get

multiple shots.

Multiple shots mean higher chance for death.

I got to go with the Tommy gun.

Edge, out the poke.

At close range, the James Gang's Bowie knife was pitted against the stiletto.

The stiletto's piercing capabilities and easy concealability give it an edge

over the versatility and enormous size of the Bowie knife, which is really

overkill in post -corded combat.

Head out, Capone.

And in special weapons, Capone's brass knuckles went head -to -head with a

Gang pistol whip.

It took three strikes with the brass knuckles to get through that skull with

pistol whip, insta -kill, edge, pistol whip.

Edge, Jesse James.

To prevent this deathmatch from being settled by a single bullet, this battle

between four -man gang will be run 1 ,000 times in a simulation program

developed by Slytherin Studios.

We've got all the data we need to run this, so let's just go ahead and fire it

up.

Ah!

Over the course of a thousand battles, we saw the James Gang rack up 544

victories, the Capone Gang's 456 victories.

This was due in large part to the James Gang's ability to shoot more accurately

with their long -range Winchester and also their revolvers. While the Thompson

submachine gun is certainly a fearsome and devastating weapon, the firing

discipline that the James Gang developed, their ability to quick -draw,

and kill accurately before the Capone Gang could even raise their weapon, is

really what hammered this fight home.

Jesse James knew how to use his gun, pull the trigger at super fast rate, and

kill every time. Jesse James gang got lucky.

There was never a doubt in my mind.

Ever.
