Fire!

Okay, guys, we are
talking about George Washington

and his continental army

versus Napoleon Bonaparte
and his Grande armee.

Both of them were fighting
in the age of revolutions,

only 20 years apart,

but never met on the battlefield
until today.

- These guys
are larger-than-life figures--

the generals of generals.

Napoleon was driven.
He was obsessed with war.

He wanted to take all of Europe
and make it his.

When you think
of George Washington,

that ability to be patient,

to motivate his troops
against the British,

essentially led America

to become
its own independent nation.

One becomes known
as the father of his country.

The other becomes known
as the God of war.

I think this is gonna be
the best matchup

on Deadliest Warrior.

Napoleon Bonaparte...

The bloodthirsty
French emperor

whose maniacal dream
was to conquer the world,

or George Washington,

the American hero,
who against all odds

defeated
the mighty British army.

Now, 200 years of speculation
will be buried

when these two titans of war
finally face off.

To find out,

the history of war
and modern science collide...

This groundbreaking data

will be paired
with historical research

and entered into an all-new
digital combat engine.

Two legendary combatants
will be resurrected.

History will be rewritten.

But only one will be crowned...

Deadliest warrior.

Welcome to the fight club.

Here, our experts will unlock
historical secrets

and battlefield strategies
to decide

which revolutionary-age general
is deadliest...

- Aah!
- Napoleon Bonaparte,

the brutal French warlord
and emperor

who terrorized Europe
and left millions dead

in his bloody wake,

or George Washington,

America's first
general-turned-president,

who waged an unconventional
guerilla war

that defeated
the British empire

and created the world's
most powerful nation.

This is a special episode
to me,

because you're talking
about two

of maybe the greatest generals
in history.

When you think of Napoleon,

you understand his brilliance
on the battlefield,

and it's still studied today.

Washington takes necessity

and turns it into a virtue

against the most powerful army
at that time.

- Mack, these guys
are larger-than-life figures,

and so I like breaking it down

and actually looking
at the tale of the tape.

George Washington was 6'3",
200 pounds.

That's a big guy for his time.

And then you compare Napoleon.

You know, he has that reputation
of being this short guy.

Actually, he was 5'6".
He wasn't that short--

about 140 pounds.

But then when we look at their
own personal health--disaster.

George Washington
deals with malaria.

He had smallpox as a child.

Napoleon
had severe insomnia--

not the best state to be in
if you're gonna be a general.

For me,
it's about the weapons,

and these guys operated
in the age of revolutions.

That means we are talking
about cannons.

There's no question, guys,
that is is gonna be

one of our best matchups yet,

but we've got to make sure
that it's set up properly

for the SIM.

The new digital combat engine

was created
by former green beret

and military-based game designer
Robert daly.

His latest high-tech creation

will incorporate
complex weapons data,

damage probabilities,

and more than 100 different
"x" factors--

critical intangibles
that are given numeric values

based on analysis
of the warriors' lives,

tactics,
and psychological profiles.

When you look at both
Washington and Napoleon,

the biggest "x" factor you're
gonna look at is generalship.

One dealt
with limited resources

and had to fight a guerilla war
with the British.

On the other hand,
you have Napoleon,

who's moving large bodies
of troops over massive areas.

Doing battle for Napoleon...

Revolutionary war era
musket and sword specialist

mathew cape.

Napoleon was the God of war.

His equipment was the best.
His tactics were unbeatable.

And his men
were the best trained

that there was at the time.

Unlocking the secrets

of Napoleon's
battlefield strategies,

historian phillipe Simon.

Napoleon's ingenious
battlefield tactics

are legendary.

He changed the concept
of the army.

He was convinced
that artillery and cavalry

could easily take over
any infantry regiment

anywhere in Europe.

In the early 1800s,
Napoleon marched across Europe,

crushing every army
in his path.

He really wanted
to destroy you.

He didn't want you
to run away.

He didn't want to have
a second battle.

In 1804, Napoleon proclaimed
himself emperor for life

and launched
a vicious reign of terror

that killed
more than two million people.

Now we'll witness one

of history's
most dreamed-about battles,

as the bloodthirsty emperor

confronts
his most formidable foe--

the gentleman warrior,
general George Washington.

Wielding Washington's weapons,

competitive swordsman
and 18th-century firearms expert

Paul suda.

Washington
had a very clear goal in mind.

He set himself
to accomplish that goal

with the resources
he had on hand.

And he came in
with less than he wanted

and ended up winning the war.

Analyzing Washington's life
and war tactics...

Retired army officer

and university of north Carolina
history Professor

Dr. Wayne Lee.

Washington's a big guy.

His presence
on the battlefield,

the way he carried himself--

in the 18th century, that really
meant a lot to people.

As a young man,

Washington fought
for the British army

during
the French and Indian war.

He discovered firsthand
the deadly advantage

of his native enemy's
hit-and-run strategies.

Years later, in 1775,

as commander
of the continental army

in America's
war of independence,

Washington used these same
lethal guerilla tactics

to gain an edge
against the British.

Outmanned and outgunned,

he backed up
his larger conventional army

with small unit
state militias.

He's gonna use that militia

in ways that are a little bit
more unconventional--

raids on a detachment here,
raid on a detachment there.

They cover the ground
and make it difficult

for the British to operate.

And then you create a moment

when you can use
your conventional army

to try to fight that big battle
to win in the end.

Fire!

Washington's hybrid
combination worked,

and in 1783,
the British surrendered.

A new nation was born,

and its greatest general
became its first president.

We're using
this historical data

in the simulator this year,
but to make it complete,

we've got to get you
some weapons data.

[Canon fires]

Warfare
in the revolutionary age

was dominated
by long-range Cannon fire.

Now these battlefield titans'
heavy artillery

will go head-to-head.

General Napoleon
will blast off this battle

with the 8-pound Cannon--

machine-bored
for maximum lethal precision.

- It's called an 8-pounder,

because it shoots
8-pound cannonballs.

It is about 6 foot long,
which make it very accurate.

The bore is about
106 millimeter,

and the ball itself
is only 103.

So the precision of the shots
were extreme

due to the expertise
of those builders.

Napoleon was a master
of artillery.

As a junior officer, Napoleon
spent hours and hours,

days after day,
studying Cannon ballistic.

- Napoleon's 8-pound Cannon

will be tested
in an explosive shootout

against Washington's
6-pound Cannon.

For the first time
on Deadliest Warrior,

we are gonna be
firing cannons.

I'm gonna be assessing
the damage they can do

and how accurate they are.

We know both of these weapons
would have been crew served,

so we're gonna have two of
our armorers to help you out.

Forrest Taylor,

one of the world's premier
weapons artificers,

has painstakingly recreated

Napoleon's
200-year-old Cannon.

Each weapon will be fired

from a deadly effective distance
of 200 yards.

Take a look down range.

To test the accuracy
and destructive capabilities

of the 8-pounder,
the Napoleon team

will fire four cannonballs
at a set of blue targets.

The primary target
is a two-man artillery unit.

Beyond that,
an officers' quarters,

containing four more targets,

will gauge the cannonball's
shrapnel damage.

Fire at will!

[Laughter, applause]
Whoo!

I'm actually surprised
it went that high, man.

The first shot tears
through the officers' quarters

and digs up the hillside,
but it misses every target.

Thumb the piece!

Reloading
is a dangerous process

that can't be rushed.

First, a leather thumb jacket

seals the back of the gun

as the barrel is cleared
of any debris.

Clear.

A damp sponge
creates a vacuum

to kill any live embers.

Advance the round.

- The black-powder charge
and cannonball

are inserted
and carefully rammed.

A vent pick
pierces the charge,

and the hole is packed
with more black powder

to trigger the round.

[Laughter]

Are you kidding?

- Second shot--
direct hit.

Wicked!

- The Napoleon team
re-aims the Cannon

to try to take out
the primary target.

- I think we're right on.
- We're right on it.

- Mm-hmm.
- All right.

Oh, yeah, baby!

- Oh-ho!
That was awesome!

- Two hits--
one artillery crew,

one officer inside.

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

Right here.

- Oh-ho! Yeah!
[Laughter]

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

The point of the exercise
was to take out the target.

You've clearly done that.

Look at this guy.

And don't forget
the psychological impact

of seeing the first guy
take that round, right?

Then that guy gets replaced
with another guy.

The second ball comes through
and rips that guy in half.

And then the third ball
comes through

and rips your Cannon down.

And when you're talking
about the "x" factors

of psychological warfare
and domination,

you've got both of them
that we'll plug into the SIM.

And then think
about accuracy, mack.

Look at the grouping
we have here.

In this tight space,
some rifles aren't this good,

and this 8-pound ball was able
to hit three targets

in a small group like this
200 yards out.

- Take a look here...
- That's what I'm talking about.

Decapitated by a cannonball.

Then he's got shrapnel
right into his chest.

The main difference
between Napoleon and Washington

is Napoleon
had trained soldiers.

- What do you think, Wayne?
- We're gonna be able

to basically do the same kind
of damage with a lighter Cannon

that's going to be
a lot more maneuverable.

Will you be using
apples or oranges?

Coming up,
the carnage continues

as the battle heats up.

This guy's just
completely obliterated.

And later,
the body count rises

in a bloody
firing-line showdown.

The commander's down.

Avance!

Napoleon, Washington...

Who is deadliest?
Oh!

I meant to tell you right now,

no one understood artillery better
in Napoleon's days than Napoleon.

He was the master of artillery.

And artillery is the
key to battle.

Napoleon Bonaparte...

The merciless emperor
of France--

his brutal strategy
of annihilation

demolished his enemies....

Versus
general George Washington,

the legendary leader
of the continental army.

Faced with sick
and deserting troops

in the brutal winter of 1777
at valley forge,

Washington's
determined leadership

rallied crucial resources

and pulled them through
to ultimate victory.

He's been through
the real depths of despair

in the early parts of the war,
with defeat after defeat.

But nevertheless,
he's got this commitment.

He's going to stay the course.

And Washington's
personal qualities

were really fundamental
to his success.

Unh!

In a test of damage
and accuracy,

Napoleon's 8-pound Cannon
leaves little doubt

why he was known
as the God of war.

You guys see that?

But Washington
had a much lighter

and more mobile big gun
in his arsenal...

The 6-pound Cannon,

the fast-moving gun

that forced britain
to wave the white flag.

- Washington's 6-pound Cannon
fires a 6-pound cannonball.

The gun itself
is cast from bronze.

It's much lighter
than its iron counterpart.

It's about 1,200 pounds
for the entire piece.

Washington
knows he needs cannons,

but they're not available.

So they take the materials
literally from church bells,

from bronze fittings on ships,
and most famously,

the statue of king George
in New York City.

They melt it.

They're pouring it into a mold
around a piece of wood.

And that's gonna have an effect
on its accuracy.

But it's a thing
that Washington has to do.

They've got no other choice.
You use what you've got.

The Washington team
will fire four cannonballs

at a set of red targets
200 yards downrange.

Their primary target
is the Cannon.

Two artillery soldiers and four
officers inside the quarters

are secondary objectives.

The Washington team
needs to top Napoleon's score

of three soldiers
and the Cannon.

Fire at will!

- Holy...
- Nice!

The first shot
blasts through both walls

and tears up the hillside.

But it is high
and misses the targets.

Looks like a miniature
Cannon compared to ours.

It's not
how big it is, buddy.

It's how you use it.

Knocked part
of the porch roof down.

- Shot two--also high.

It hits the house
but misses the primary target.

We were at 1 1/2 degrees.

I think I want to get
to 2 degrees.

The team uses
an elevation gauge

to lower the angle
of trajectory.

That looks good.
All right, hold it right there.

Put her down.

It skipped.

The third shot
scores two instant kills inside.

I'd say that's on target.

Lower the elevation and bring
it a little to the right.

The team
only has one chance left

to destroy the enemy Cannon.

You're gonna hit it
on this one.

I feel it.
Ready!

I hope you do, doc.

- Oh!
- Oh!

Nice!
Yes!

Right down the barrel!

If you can disable
the artillery,

it doesn't matter
what these two guys are doing.

They can no longer function
on the battlefield

with their Cannon.

Instant kill right here.

And take a look at the wall.

It's completely shattered there,
which means tons of shrapnel.

All those are gonna increase
the chance of death.

The accuracy
that we're getting

is very comparable
to Napoleon,

and given Washington's
logistical situation,

he's getting
the same amount of damage.

Your Cannon is 400 pounds
lighter than Napoleon's Cannon,

and that has to factor in
when it comes to fatigue,

and fatigue is an "x" factor
in our SIM.

Our bore was actually drilled
by experts,

making it very smooth
and precise.

Their Cannon is not as accurate
as ours, you know,

just from the building of it.

The teams are locked
in a virtual dead heat.

The clash of the cannons will be
decided by one final test--

antipersonnel ammunition.

These shorter-range
shrapnel rounds

widen the field of fire,

increasing the carnage
as enemy infantry closed in.

Well, you know, Washington
would love to have grapeshot,

but the logistics was
a major problem for him,

and he uses scattershot.

So he's gonna take anything
he can get--nails, chain.

You shove that down the barrel,
and at close range,

when it comes out of that thing,
it's gonna do a lot of damage.

Well, that's great,
'cause we're going to test

both the damage
and dispersion pattern

of Washington's scattershot
and Napoleon's grapeshot.

And you'll each get one shot
to take out the targets.

- The targets--
15 charging enemy soldiers.

Napoleon crew,
you'll be up first

with the grapeshot.

- Ho-ho!
- Oh!

Nice job, Napoleon crew.

We're gonna go immediately
to the Washington crew.

Are you ready?
Ready!

- Fire at will!
- Here we go.

- Oh!
- Oh-ho!

Love it!
[Laughter]

U.S.A.! U.S.A.!

[Chuckles evilly]

Dr. Dorian
checks the damage

from Napoleon's grapeshot.

- One instant kill.
Two instant kills--in his face.

Another instant kill.
Another one, face, chest.

That's five, six...

So a total, guys,
8 out of 15 instant kills.

But how deadly was
Washington's scattershot round?

Take a look at this!

This guy has a huge piece
torn right out.

This is a guaranteed
instant kill.

It looks like most
of that muscle

comes straight through
the middle,

'cause this guy's just
completely obliterated.

Little scratch on his ear,
nothing here and nothing here.

This guy is down.
This is the fourth instant kill.

So we got 4 out of 15 here.

So 4 out of 15.

But I think the biggest factor
here for me

is the very narrow
dispersion pattern.

I think you want this
to scatter as much as possible,

and when you look
at the grapeshot,

I think it speaks for itself
right there.

Absolutely.

- Napoleon's 8-pound Cannon

or Washington's
6-pound Cannon...

Which one
do our experts believe

give its warrior the edge?

When you're looking at,
basically, an improvised Cannon,

you got to give credit
to Washington

for being able to adapt,
improvise, and overcome.

But Napoleon is
the master of artillery.

It's obvious in our test.

Eight guys
versus four guys down

when you compare the grapeshot
versus the scattershot.

I have to give my edge
to Napoleon's Cannon.

- For long-range weapons,
edge--Napoleon Bonaparte.

Fire!

Coming up...

Can Washington even the score
with a savage counterattack?

Evil trick.

And later, mack exposes
the surprising secrets

behind two of history's
greatest generals.

- General George Washington--

outmanned and outgunned,

he led a tired and tattered army
to victory

over the most powerful
military force of the time...

Versus Napoleon Bonaparte--

the power-hungry warlord
bent on world domination.

He was willing to sacrifice

hundreds of thousands of his
own men in pursuit of victory.

In the winter of 1812,

he invaded Russia
with half a million troops.

Less than 25,000 survived.

- It's cold there--we're talking
about six feet of snow.

The whole army was having
to deal with malnutrition,

and they lost a lot of people.

We've seen
how Napoleon Bonaparte

and George Washington

utilized cannons
to initiate a battle.

But after that, they would've
closed that distance

and utilized
their mid-range weapons.

- Phillipe, how would Napoleon
conduct mid-range warfare?

- Well, Napoleon
loved volley fire--

a technique developed

to make up for the lack
of accuracy of the muskets.

You would have
a row of soldiers shooting

to overwhelm the enemy
with the sheer volume of rounds.

[Gunfire]

Napoleon armed his troops

with the 1777
charleville musket--

a design so deadly,
it was copied across the world.

- It's a .66-caliber round.

It's actually
not a tight fit,

which meant that
it wasn't as accurate.

But it was way faster
to reload than any rifle.

- To accurately reproduce
Napoleon's volley-fire tactic,

mathew and three experienced
black-powder Marksmen

will form a volley line.

To test the charleville
musket's damage,

accuracy, and reload time,

each Marksman
will fire five rounds

at four static targets
placed 60 yards away--

the effective range
of the weapon.

Five yards behind them,
an officer on horseback.

[Shouting in French]

Just missed him.

- To reload,
a black-powder charge

is poured into the muzzle,

followed by a patched lead ball,
rammed on top.

More black powder
is poured into the firing pan,

and the hammer containing
a flint is cocked.

When the trigger is pulled,

the flint sparks the powder
in the pan,

igniting the main charge.

Feu!

I don't think
they're hitting anything.

En joue!
Feu!

- There's a hit.
- Got a hit on the face there.

Feu!

Ah...Ha ha ha ha!
Yeah!

- Get that general.
- Feu!

- Oh!
- Nice shot.

Nice!

Beautifully placed,
right through

the zygoma,
the cheek bone.

This by itself
is an instant kill.

Napoleon's 1777
charleville musket

delivered death
to all four infantry targets.

And the commander is clean.

So what that means--
out of these five targets,

four of them are killed
in 1 minute, 43 seconds.

It seems like you've done
plenty of damage,

but you missed the important guy
in the back.

If only you had
some kind of weapon

that you could
properly aim and fire

on such an important target.

Washington's continentals
took aim at the British

with the one-two punch
of muskets and long rifles.

Washington is forced,
by the lack of resources,

to combine conventional
with unconventional

into something
I might call "hybrid warfare."

He's got militia that are
coming in from all around.

They're bringing muskets,

but some of them
are bringing rifles.

He's gonna fold those units
into a line of battle,

but the rifle gives him
a lot more flexibility.

Washington's musket,
the brown Bess...

The longest-used firearm
in British military history.

A very comparable musket
to the French equivalent.

And the loose fit of the ball

meant that it bounced around
a bit in the barrel.

That's why muskets aren't nearly
as accurate as rifles are.

Washington's troops
also packed

the Pennsylvania
long rifle...

A weapon that dealt death
from over 200 yards.

Rifling is a series of grooves

that spiral to the end
of the barrel.

The grooves spin the ball
out of the barrel.

Because it's spinning, it's more
accurate for a farther distance.

Unfortunately,
that snug fit in the barrel

tended to foul the barrel
when there was carbon buildup,

so it takes longer to reload.

- Can Washington's
musket-rifle combo

outgun Napoleon's team

in less than 1 minute
and 43 seconds?

Wayne and Paul
and two black-powder Marksmen

will fire two muskets
and two rifles,

each with five rounds.

...One!
Fire!

Nice.

The carbon buildup
in the rifle's barrel

must be thoroughly cleaned,

making it twice as long
to reload.

- Oh!
- That was a hit.

Man, that takes
a long time.

Oh, that's a hit!

- Ha ha ha ha ha!
- Evil.

Evil trick.
Oh, that's a mess!

Ah, he missed it.

- Nice shot.
- That's a good hit.

Missed it.

- Oh-ho!

Belly shot on the horse.
Poor bugger.

- [Chuckles]
- Perfect.

All four static targets
are hit now.

The muskets blow through
their five shots,

but the slower-reloading rifles
continue to fire.

- Oh!
- [Laughing]

- Commander's down.
- Oh!

There goes the commander.

3 minutes, 31 seconds!

- Washington's
musket-rifle combination

matches Napoleon's
four static-target kills.

This guy is half the man
he used to be.

Human tissue would not fall
apart like this,

but it does speak volumes
with regards

to the temporary cavity
that's being displayed here.

That's an instant kill.

The accuracy of the rifle
is undeniable.

But in war,
speed is everything.

Our charleville
is way faster reloading.

We get so many more shots.

Napoleon's musket volley fire

or Washington's musket-and-rifle
hybrid warfare--

which do our experts
believe has the edge?

The brown Bess
used in combination

with the Pennsylvania rifle--

you're looking
at a weapon system

that allows you to reach out
a little further,

a little bit more accuracy
that I--as a sniper, I like.

We're seeing
a combo technique

where you're actually getting
accuracy and a lot of trauma.

So, for me,
there's no question

the edge here goes
to George Washington.

I don't like the fact it did
take them double the time,

but doesn't really matter what
kind of time these were done in.

If you don't kill everyone,
you don't get the job done.

- For medium-range weapons,
edge--George Washington.

Coming up...

George's Washington crushing
victory at yorktown...

Go there,
and he used deception...

Faces off against
Napoleon Bonaparte's

brutal triumph at austerlitz.

Plus, centuries-old swords

rise to kill again.

Two legendary generals
brought empires to their knees.

But who is deadliest?

George Washington,

the general who refused
calls to be crowned king,

insisting instead
that the head of state

should be
an elected president...

Versus Napoleon Bonaparte,

the ruthless French emperor

whose cold-blooded
campaign through Europe

once saw 70,000 casualties
in a single day.

Each warrior's
battlefield tactics

will provide crucial data
for the digital combat engine.

Mack breaks down each general's
most legendary victory

to predict how he'll perform
in the heat of battle.

What was Washington's approach
to conducting warfare?

Well, he's smart enough to
know that he can't risk his army

in a revolutionary situation.

So you bring in militia,
and you fight

a kind of unconventional war
on the side,

while maintaining
a conventional army

at the core
of your resistance.

Today we might call it
hybrid warfare.

The best example is the campaign
that leads up to yorktown.

Let's go to yorktown right now
using the touch table.

So after 1778, the French
join in with the Americans

to fight the British,

and so the British
send a major army

under general lord cornwallis
down into the Southern states.

And they're gonna try
to recapture those states

and fold them back
into the empire.

And down in those places,
Washington's generals

are fighting the unconventional
part of the war--

skirmishing,
tearing up the supply lines,

and they're making life hell
for cornwallis.

When a British general
gets into trouble,

he tends to head for the sea

so he can link up with the Navy,
get support.

So the French fleet
sails into the chesapeake

and bottles up
the entrance to the bay,

and cornwallis is trapped.

The French have actually
blocked the chesapeake bay.

There is no way the British
can come in there.

- After the small-unit militias

forced cornwallis' troops
to yorktown,

Washington unleashed the second
half of his hybrid attack.

The French and the American
armies march in,

and they start the conventional
European-style siege,

pounding yorktown
day after day.

And by just continuously
bashing and bashing

and bashing them,
they have to surrender.

They do. It has a huge impact
on public opinion

back in britain,

and for all political purposes,
the war is over.

And he's proven
that his hybrid warfare

is successful
on the battlefield.

Most revolutionary age
battles

were decided in close combat
with cold, hard steel--

swords.

Napoleon wielded
the French cavalry saber.

A descendant
of an Egyptian tribal sword,

it was originally used
to behead enemy prisoners.

After exhaustive research,
bladesmith Dave Baker

has meticulously recreated
each warrior's sword,

beginning
with Napoleon's saber.

It's got a heavy curve to it,
a deep Fuller,

and a clip-point blade
to help with thrusting.

Now, while doing research,

we discovered that he carried
a sword just like this

at the battle of marengo.

Now, that sword still exists

and was sold recently at auction
for $6 million.

Washington attacked
with a cold steel killer,

the colichemarde,

a deadly combination
of speed and accuracy.

George Washington's sword,

it's a combination weapon--

a wide, heavy section
at the bottom

and then a thin, fast blade
at the front.

What this does
is it gives you the speed

of a small sword,

as well as enough meat
in that blade

to deflect or parry
a heavy blow from a saber.

- These two swords
will go head-to-head

in a two-part contest.

These are generals,
and they ride on horseback.

And in the worst-case scenario,

they actually have their horses
shot from underneath them,

they've got to still use those
blades to save their butts.

So we've got set up
three stationary targets,

mimicking real human flesh,
real human bone.

The experts will test
each sword for its accuracy,

penetration,
and strike versatility.

First, they will attack
each target from horseback,

then dismount
for a final attack on foot.

The Napoleon team is up first.

- Allons-y!

Yah!

- Oh-ho!

Ugh!

Nice!

- Oof!
- Ugh!

Three targets,
three instant kills.

Dr. Dorian examines
the final death blow.

Small diameter, but it goes
all the way through.

This, placed perfectly,
is an instant kill.

The fact
that you can slash like this

and still thrust
makes it a perfect weapon.

The colichemarde's designed
to counter a saber.

It's designed to thrust
and to penetrate.

It's gonna be fatal
every time it goes in.

Charge!

Will the colichemarde
cut out a final victory

for the American general?

Ah, he's got to be careful
with that blade

coming out, though.

Through-and-through, baby.

Nice.
Oh...

That's a through-and-through.

Nice.

Three.

Instant kill city here.

Another important fact
about thrusting injuries--

once you're in,
the tip doesn't stay straight.

It actually
bends up and down,

so it's not just the width
of the wound on the outside.

There's a lot more tearing up
going on in the inside.

And I love the placement,

center of mass
of that target,

showing me the accuracy
that you have with that weapon.

It was terrifying
how easy it was

to push this
through the target,

especially with the power of the
horse under me and behind me.

With a saber,
you're very mobile.

You can go left, right,
everywhere.

With your sword, you miss your
shot, you're off your horse.

This would be
way more efficient.

Napoleon's cavalry saber
proves more versatile,

able to thrust and slash
with deadly results.

But Washington's colichemarde
does more damage

with each strike.

So which sword
do our experts argue

gets the edge?

With the colichemarde,

there was no slashes whatsoever
that we saw,

and I think anytime a weapon
gives you options,

that's gonna give you

that slight advantage
on the battlefield.

This is where
I'll disagree with you.

I'm going to go
with the colichemarde.

Obviously, cavalry sabers
do better on horseback

because of that room
for error.

Okay, now, let's
get off the horse.

I think it makes a very big
difference at this point,

because there is
a whole parry tactic

that is designed
in the colichemarde,

specifically for sabers.

Washington had experience

of having horses shot out
from underneath him.

So he wanted to be able to go
to an infantry weapon

that he knew
would deliver for him.

We did see three great punctures
all the way through.

So I'm going to go
with the colichemarde.

- For close-range weapons,

edge--George Washington.

To predict what tactics
will be used for battle

in the digital combat engine,
mack examines

Napoleon Bonaparte's
1805 victory

at the battle of austerlitz.

How would you describe
Napoleon's approach

to strategy and tactics?

If I had to put it
in plain English,

I will say bait and bash.

Let's go to Europe
using the touch table right now.

In the present day
Czech Republic,

Napoleon positioned his forces
on a hilltop

called pratzen heights.

Below them, more than 70,000
Russian and Austrian troops.

He met with Russian
and Austrian representative

and let them believe
that he wanted to surrender.

So he actually withdraws
his troops from a great position

to let them think,
"I'm about to accept surrender."

So he has set
the table perfectly, right?

Absolutely. The Russians move
their troop to pratzen heights

and watch Napoleon run away.

They have 72,000 Russians
on top of the hills,

only 62,000 Napoleon troops.

They think they have
the upper hand.

They're laughing.

What happens next?

Using the cover of fog,

Napoleon brings up
a massive cavalry unit

to reinforce his right flank
and surprise the enemy.

It's all about baiting,
baiting, baiting.

And when he finally
has them set up,

he goes in for the bash.

All of a sudden,
he starts destroying them

with everything he has.

This cavalry all engaged.

He basically
sends everyone up there

and destroys the Russians.

Yes, he destroyed
the whole Austrian army,

a third of the Russian army.

And this is why
the czar of Russia said,

"we are babies
in the hand of a giant."

And Napoleon set his legacy up
for the rest of history.

Washington's use
of hybrid warfare

allowed him to prolong the war
with Great Britain.

But not only was Napoleon
incredibly successful

in baiting
onto the battlefield,

he was able to set up perfectly

the moment he bashed
into submission.

For the "x" factor
of battlefield tactics,

edge--Napoleon.

Coming up...

General Napoleon Bonaparte,

France's infamous God of war,

versus
general George Washington,

America's hero
of the revolution.

Two legendary generals,
one final battle.

Who is deadliest?

Deadliest Warrior's a huge
undertaking, and it's really cool.

And at the end of the day it comes
down to 3 guys having some fun.

*** guys shoot cannons
and blowing stuff up.

Being a part of Deadliest
Warrior is the ***.

It's the historic clash
of revolutionary age giants.

General George Washington...

Calm, calculated,
and humble in victory...

Versus
general Napoleon Bonaparte,

maniacal, merciless, and
obsessed with world domination.

Fire at will!

- In our long-range
artillery tests,

Washington's 6-pound Cannon

was blown away
by Napoleon's 8-pound Cannon.

In medium-range weapons,

Napoleon's
1777 charleville muskets

were no match
for the one-two punch

of Washington's
brown Bess muskets

and Pennsylvania long rifles.

- In close-range weapons,

Napoleon's cavalry saber
was cut down

by Washington's colichemarde.

In battlefield tactics,

Washington's hybrid warfare

was outmaneuvered by Napoleon's
bait-and-bash tactic.

While the experts have formed
their opinions,

all of the concrete data
is turned over to Robert daly

and entered into the digital
combat engine,

which ultimately determines
the winner.

His team of engineers
and historians

has also completed
its research

on more than 100 "x" factors.

These "x" factors include
things like intimidation,

dominance,
audacity, logistics.

All of these play a part
in who these men were

and how they led their troops
to victory.

And then we assign a numerical
value between 1 and 100,

with 100 being
the ultimate warrior.

When you talk
about generalship,

Napoleon is brilliant,

but he has moments
when he's very impatient.

And that impatience
is what overextends him

into the Russian winter campaign

and leads to basically
his biggest defeat--

versus George Washington,
who's very, very patient

when he comes
to the battlefield.

How do you rate that?

Washington knew what it took
to get the job done,

and Napoleon's impatience
started to really impact him.

We ended up giving

generalship to Washington,
slightly, at an 88

versus Napoleon's at 82.

Let's also consider
fatigue here.

George Washington's strategy
was prolonging the battle.

Napoleon took the long trek
into Russia

with half a million troops

and retreated
with only 25,000.

No, absolutely.
And when you look at Napoleon

having stretched
his line so far,

more so than Washington,

who is moving quickly in
a very localized area generally.

So Washington ends up having
the advantage here--

74 to Napoleon's 67.

For me on this one,
it's all about logistics.

I mean,
Napoleon had the resources.

He had the trained men.

Washington, I'm seeing a guy
who can improvise,

and that's awesome,

but if you're making cannons
out of candlesticks,

I see a problem.

No, absolutely.

While Napoleon had
a great logistical base,

we had to rate him a 79
due to the fact

that he extended himself
too far

and got out
of his logistical supply line.

On the other hand,
you have Washington,

and he was able to scrap
and scrounge

and accomplish his mission.

It's still lower
than what Napoleon had,

but only slightly, at a 73.

So we've got the weapons data
in the SIM.

We've considered
all the "x" factors.

Let's run the SIM.

- The combat engine will run
5,000 simulated battles--

pitting general
George Washington

and four continental soldiers

against
general Napoleon Bonaparte

and four soldiers
from la Grande armee.

Avance!

[Battle cries]

To arms!

[Shouting in French]

Allez, allez!

Take out the lieutenant!

- [Shouting in french]
- Go to the Cannon!

[Shouting in French]

Load, load!
Take the boxes off!

[Shouting in French]

Ram! Ram!

Prime the piece!

[Shouting in French]

Clear!

Reload!

Scatter!

[Both generals shouting]

Bayonets!

Prepare to charge!

[Shouting in French]

[All shouting]

[Shouting in French]

[Horse neighs]

[Both grunting]

In one of the closest contests
in Deadliest Warrior history,

George Washington
narrowly seizes victory.

Washington wins 2,530 battles

to Napoleon's 2,470--

a difference of just over 1%.

When you look at this matchup,
it is so close.

George Washington is able
to adapt to his battlefield

and to move troops strategically
wherever it is necessary

to create the most amount
of chaos in the battle space.

The "x" factors
were virtually dead even.

Napoleon scored high
in logistics and tactics

for his skills
at executing battle plans.

But it was
Washington's generalship,

his ability
to use limited resources

and motivate
his heavily outnumbered army

and the overwhelming advantage
of his musket-rifle combination

that clinched
his narrow victory.

Napoleon is brilliant,
but Washington is persistent,

dedicated, and will not stop

until he accomplishes
the goal at hand.

And he is a brilliant leader,

not only of men in battle,
but a country as well.
