All language subtitles for Deadliest warrior s03e06 Teddy Roosevelt vs. Lawrence of Arabia.eng

Ugh!
[Gunshot]

We're gonna look
at probably the two

Greatest warriors
of the early 20th century.

Theodore Roosevelt
versus Lawrence of Arabia.

I love this matchup.

I think these are two
amazing men,

And what they've accomplished
in their lives

Is incredible.

Roosevelt was a politician,
a leader,

A hard charger,
a cowboy.

Very smart, focused,
had a ton of willpower.

In 1898,
he created the rough riders

To take san Juan hill,

Winning
the Spanish-American war.

Against t.E. Lawrence.

This man found a way
to overcome

Any obstacle
that got in his way.

1916 to 1918,

He managed to unite the Arabs
in a revolt

That allows the British empire

To defeat the ottoman empire
and win world war I.

The time periods
at which they were fighting

Were actually
fairly close together.

So we're gonna see a lot
of similar type of weapons.

Roosevelt's gatling gun
could spit out

900 rounds per minute.

Versus the Vickers.

I can't wait to see
these two weapons

Go head-To-Head.

These are two dynamic
characters.

Both physically fit,

Both psychologically strong.

It's the ultimate test
of the toughest guy.

These are two brilliant guys.

They're great warriors.

I'm excited to see
how this thing unfolds.

Male narrator:
teddy Roosevelt,

The all-American hero

Who led his famous
rough riders

On a suicide charge
that turned the tide

Of the Spanish-American war.

Great Britain's
first special operative.

He built a fierce Arab army

To fight against the powerful
Turkish ottoman empire

And help seal
the allied victory

In the first world war.

To find out,
the history of war

And modern science collide,

As former navy seal
Richard "Mack" machowicz

Dives deep into the tactics
of the warriors

Behind the weapons.

Biomedical engineer
Geoff desmoulin

Applies 21st century technology
to unlock new data

On arsenals of the past.

And e.R. Physician armand dorian
dissects the trauma

And reveals the physical
and psychological traits

That shaped these legends
of war.

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 insights

That will determine
which legendary leader

Is deadliest,

Lawrence of Arabia--

The fearless British officer

Whose ferocious Arab army

Used guerrilla-Style
sneak attacks

To bring down
a mighty empire...

Or teddy Roosevelt,

The brash and brawny
u.S. Army colonel

Who overthrew
Spanish tyrants in Cuba

Before becoming
the 26th president.

As a physician,
I want to break it down

With the tale of the tape.

In their prime,
we have Roosevelt,

39 years old,
5'8", 210 pounds,

T.E. Lawrence,
he's 29 years old,

5'5", 130 pounds.

Big difference.

80-Pound difference.

Roosevelt, at a young age,
he had severe asthma,

As well as
severe vision issues.

But he trained heavily.

The guy was fit.

Then you have
Lawrence of Arabia.

He could run a mile
under five minutes.

He didn't drink.
He didn't smoke.

This guy was in great shape.

Doc, I think you make
a great point.

Lawrence is special.

He speaks seven languages.

A student of architecture.

This man wandered
through all the middle east

Just to prove
he was tough enough to do it.

Roosevelt, he was
the assistant secretary

Of the navy.

He resigns his position

So he can fight
in the Spanish-American war.

Physically tough,
mentally tough,

And able to execute
when it mattered most

On a battlefield.

Couldn't agree more, Mack.

And for the first time
on deadliest warrior,

We're gonna take a look
at crew-Served weapons.

So up to five guys
on both weapons.

Moving on to rifles.

What I love
about these weapons

Is that they're both
bolt-Action.

We've got some pretty
interesting tests set up

To evaluate these.

Narrator:
the weapons' test results

Will be entered into the new
digital combat engine

Created by Robert Daly,

A former green beret
and designer

Of more than 30
military-Based video games,

Including
the deadliest warrior game.

To simulate 5,000 battles
between these two combatants,

The engine will combine
the weapons data

With over 100 x factors,

Critical intangibles
assigned values

Based on extensive
historical research

Of each warrior's life,
tactics,

And psychological profile.

This is a fantastic matchup

Because you look
at these two individuals,

And they're larger-Than-Life
characters.

And because they're leaders,

We have to take them
in a leadership role.

So it's five on five--

Teddy and his rough riders

Versus Lawrence
and his bedouin tribesmen.

Narrator:
wielding weapons

For Lawrence of Arabia,
Richard Reid,

A first-Class marksman

With special forces
and espionage training

From the British army.

What Lawrence managed
to do

Has really been unmatched
by any other warrior.

His leadership qualities,

His modern approach
he took to warfare

Was so ahead of his time.

Narrator: providing crucial
historical analysis,

Former bbc reporter

And renowned t.E. Lawrence
scholar Gavin Scott.

What made him
such a powerful person

Was that he harnessed
his willpower

To his imagination.

He wanted to change the world.

And he also had
the ability

To inspire others
to do the same thing.

Narrator:
fascinated with Arabic culture,

Lawrence traveled
throughout the middle east

As a young man.

There he witnessed Arabs
suffering atrocities

At the hands
of the ottoman Turks.

[Gunshot]

Determined to avenge
this savagery,

Lawrence volunteered as
a British army liaison officer

In 1916.

World war I had been raging
for two years.

The ottoman Turks,
Germany's ally,

Ruled over the crucial
Arabian oil fields

With an iron fist.

Lawrence's mission:

Help the British build
an Arab army

To battle the Turks
and win the war

For the allies.

The Arabs respected Lawrence
enormously

For his ability
to do the things

That they prized--
Ride camels, shoot.

They admired him
because he was even tougher

Than they were.

Narrator: Lawrence used
this trust and admiration

To unite the Arabs against
the mighty ottoman empire.

His hit-And-Run tactics
led to key victories

For the allied forces.

He moved fast,
effectively,

And he got out of the way
as soon as the job was done.

He would vanish
into the desert

With his men

And appear hundreds
of miles away

And do it again.

This empire had lasted
for half a millennium,

Had dominated
the middle east.

And he brought that empire
to its knees.

Narrator:
but can this devil of the desert

Conquer the brilliance
and bravery

Of Theodore Roosevelt?

Handling the weapons
for teddy Roosevelt

Is quay terry.

Huh!

Narrator:
an 18-Year veteran

And former gunnery sergeant
with the u.S. Marines,

Terry has combat-Trained
American troops

All over the world.

What made colonel Roosevelt
a great warrior

Was his leadership abilities.

There are certain things
that you do

In a battle situation

That normal people
wouldn't want to do,

And colonel Roosevelt
did them.

Narrator:
joining the charge

With in-Depth knowledge
of Roosevelt's battles,

Weapons, and tactics,

Military historian
and armorer Gary Harper.

Theodore Roosevelt said,

"The best thing you can do

"In an emergency situation
is the right thing.

"The second best thing
you can do is the wrong thing.

The worst thing you can do
is nothing at all."

Teddy Roosevelt never did
nothing at all.

Narrator:
Roosevelt's obsessive need

To prove himself
in battle

Has its roots
in his childhood.

He had the stigma
of believing

That his father was a coward
during the civil war

For buying his way
out of service,

And it haunted him.

He needed to prove himself
for his honor.

Narrator:
as an adult,

Roosevelt was a devoted
public servant.

In 1898,
he was serving

As assistant secretary
of the navy

When the uss maine sank
in Havana harbor

On Spanish-Ruled Cuba.

America declared war
on Spain,

And Roosevelt
gave up his desk job

To join the fight.

He hand-Picked
his own army unit

And called it the first
u.S. Volunteer cavalry regiment.

The press named them
the rough riders.

He wanted something
that epitomized

The nature of America.

So he was giving people

From all these different
walks of life

A chance to participate,

From Harvard and Yale students

To the dregs
of the streets,

From cowboys to statesmen.

Narrator: from the moment
they hit Cuba,

The rough riders
were overwhelmed

By tropical heat
and disease.

With his loyal soldiers
growing weaker by the hour,

Roosevelt knew
he had to strike hard and fast

Or be wiped out
by the enemy.

The opposing Spanish forces
were entrenched

In heavily fortified positions

At the top
of san Juan hill.

Roosevelt rallied his men

And fearlessly led
the rough riders

Into a hail of bullets.

The strategic position
was captured,

A legend was born,

And America's reputation
as a world power

Was secured.

Roosevelt knew
that in order to be that power,

We had to exhibit,
display,

And prove that power.

Narrator:
both Lawrence and Roosevelt

Used modernized long-Range,
rapid-Fire weapons

To mow down their enemies.

Now these death machines
will be tested

Against each other,

Shot for shot,
kill for kill.

Roosevelt
took out the Spanish

With the gatling gun,

Mechanized mayhem
that first saw battle

In the civil war.

The gatling gun.

Purely an American invention.

Ten barrels, ten bolts,
ten firing pins.

It's hand-Cranked.

You can reach
rates of fire

Of up to 900 rounds a minute.

In 1968,
this weapon was reconstituted

As the mini-Gun
on our helicopters.

It was actually invented

By a doctor
during the civil war.

Dr. Richard Jordan gatling

Thought if he
could invent a weapon

That would fire as fast
as a company of soldiers,

They wouldn't draft
so many men

And send them off to war.

So it's basically
like ten bolt-Action rifles

Working together in concert
over and over again.

Yes, especially when you go
to clean it,

You realize it's ten
bolt-Action rifles.

Perfect.

Here's the test.

It's a defensive scenario.

You have the high ground.
You must keep it.

Narrator:
to test the accuracy

And effectiveness
of each weapon,

Our experts will fire
250 rounds

To take out
15 static troops

And three advancing soldiers
as fast as possible.

And you will be timed.

Roosevelt experts,
you're up first.

On three, two, one!

Crank 'em out!

That is awesome.

That's awesome.

Yeah.

Yeah!
[Laughter]

Holy [bleep].

[Shooting continues]

You would not want
to be running

Into that thing, man.

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.

Yeah, baby!

Ohhh!

Whoa, ho, ho, ho.

Yep, that's it.

Time, 1 minute, 11 seconds.
Wow.

First moving target,

You've got
multiple rounds delivered.

Through the face, jaw,

Through the chest,
center of the mass.

I mean, this is instant kill.

Number two,
beautiful demonstration

Of multiple rounds,
all center of mass.

You're in double digits here
on one guy.

Oh, wow, look at this.

Straight through the chest,
fractured that sternum.

Multiple rounds delivered
in the belly.

This is an instant kill,

And that's what we want
to demonstrate.

Okay, guys,
looks like you're

Three for three
on the moving targets,

And on the static targets,

10 hits out of 15 targets.

At 1 minute, 11 seconds.

It really comes down

To looking at these
charging targets.

I imagine if you were coming
up that hill

Behind these guys,

And you were literally watching
guy after guy

Get mowed down,

That's gonna have a huge
psychological play on you.

You're going to feel that sense
of being intimidated

And dominated
on that battle space,

And I think those
are gonna be big x factors

That we're gonna plug
into the sim.

When I started seeing
the holes and the blood,

It became like squirting
a water hose.

There's no recoil
on the gun.

It's gonna do exactly
what I want it to do.

There's the eerie feeling
I have to shoot

Through the dead bodies
to get to the live ones

At the bottom of the hill.

It looks like a very nice gun.

I think it would look great
in a museum

Or at a parade.

But Lawrence's Vickers

Is 50 years newer

And 50 times as deadly.

Narrator: coming up...

The bullets fly
as Lawrence takes aim

At the competition.

Geoff separates fact
from fiction

To reveal the lethal power
of two legendary weapons.

And all hell breaks loose
in the chaos of close combat.

[Grunts]

Narrator:
Lawrence of Arabia.

Teddy Roosevelt.

Who is deadliest?

Narrator:
teddy Roosevelt,

Rough-Riding hero
of the Spanish-American war...

[Men shouting]

...versus Lawrence of Arabia,

The fearless desert warrior
of world war I.

He divided, then destroyed
his Turkish enemy

With a brilliant strategy
of diversionary attacks

Against their vital
Hejaz railway supply line.

It would've been tempting
to destroy the railway.

But he realized
that by blowing up

Individual trains

And giving the Turks time
to repair it,

There would be
a constant supply

Of trains and troops and loot
coming down that line

That he could pick off
at will.

So by not completely
destroying it,

But by disrupting it,
he kept draining

The Turkish manpower
and Turkish resources

Into a useless enterprise.

Narrator:
this legendary showdown

Kicked off with Roosevelt's
long-Range weapon of choice,

The gatling gun.

Now Lawrence of Arabia
fires back

With his own
rapid-Fire killer,

The Vickers.

The British army's
primary machine gun

For more than 50 years

Served up death
at 500 rounds a minute.

The Vickers made
all the difference to Lawrence

Because he was up against
superior forces

In terms of numbers.

And he was able to give

His irregular forces

A powerful weapon,
which evened the odds.

It fires a .303 round.

By cooling the system,

You could do much longer bursts
of fire.

Water would be put in
through this tap

And drained out through this tap
at the end.

But in the desert,

Water is obviously
in short supply.

So it's not unheard of

For soldiers to urinate
for it to operate.

But the uric acid
would actually be very damaging

To the gun itself.

Also, urinating under pressure
is very difficult.

[Laughter]

And then there's that.

Narrator:
to test the Vickers

For accuracy
and effectiveness,

The Lawrence team will fire
250 rounds

At 15 static targets

And three simulated
charging enemy soldiers.

The time to beat:

The gatling gun's
1 minute, 11 seconds.

Fire!

Nice.

Jam.
Jam.

Somebody needs to piss
in the tube!

[Laughter]

Nice and slow,
nice and slow.

Ohhhh, yeah, baby.

Now we're talkin'.

Oh!
Easy pickings.

Easy pickings.
Yeah.

Nice!
Check that out.

Ohhh.

All right, clear.
1 minute, 41 seconds.

30 seconds slower
than the gatling gun.

Narrator:
the Vickers ties

The gatling gun's
three instant kills

On the moving targets.

Look at this one.
Dead center.

That big, juicy aorta.

You shoot that,
they're gonna bleed out,

Drop their blood pressure
in a few seconds,

Be unconscious,
and die.

And talking
about a juicy aorta,

Check that out.

The jacket on this
is completely peeled back.

This going
through your body

Is a lot
of transferred energy.

Exactly.

You see all these
little fragments?

It's not a smooth
little circle

That we think of a bullet.

It's just tearing away tissue.

And talking about the Vickers,

You're three for three
on the moving targets,

And I counted 11 for 15
on the static targets

In 1 minute, 41 seconds.

As soon as I opened fire,
I encountered a blockage.

As soon as the gun
was corrected,

I can quite casually relax
and pick off targets.

And I had a long burst
of fire.

For all the challenges
we found with it,

This weapon did do the job

That Lawrence
needed it to do.

It wiped out the Turks
who were standing in his way.

It enabled him to win.

With all said and done,

You've got one barrel.

You had a few jams.

But you couldn't fire
that weapon

Until you cleared that barrel.

With the gatling gun,
we've got ten barrels.

If I have a problem,
I can pull a bolt

And continue firing
with the other nine barrels.

Narrator:
Lawrence's Vickers

Hit more targets.

But Roosevelt's gatling
was faster and didn't jam.

So which rapid-Fire gun
gets the edge?

I have to admit
I was giving my edge

To the Vickers
right off the bat.

I thought it was
the more recent technology.

But after seeing
these two tests,

I'm liking the gatling gun.

Multiple rounds
in each target,

Instant kills.

It goes to show you,

It was designed
by a doctor.

Listen, that gatling gun
was already proven

By the time it got
into Roosevelt's hands

Versus a piece of technology

That hadn't yet seen
its heyday.

I think, clearly,

My edge goes to the gatling gun
all the way.

Narrator:
for long-Range weapons,

Edge: teddy Roosevelt.

As the enemy was suppressed
by long-Range firepower,

Both Lawrence's Arab army
and Roosevelt's rough riders

Would advance
with bolt-Action rifles.

Lawrence's Arab army
terrorized the Turks

With the s.M.L.E.

The short magazine lee-Enfield

Was the British military
standard issue

For over 50 years.

The main benefit
of this rifle

Was the speed
of the bolt-Action.

Troops were able to cock
and reload the next round

Very rapidly,

Between 25 to 40 rounds
per minute.

So if you had
a section of men firing

At that speed,

It was often mistaken
for machine gun fire.

Narrator:
Roosevelt's rough riders

Take aim with...
Ugh!

Narrator:
the krag,

The u.S. Army's first
smokeless powder carbine.

Very light,
very accurate.

Shoots the .30-40 krag round.

Five-Round internal magazine,

Or you can single-Shot it

Through what is acclaimed as
the smoothest bolt

Ever invented.

Narrator:
the killing capacity

Of each bolt-Action rifle
will be tested

By measuring muzzle velocity
and target damage.

In addition,
Geoff will measure

Each weapon's recoil force,

A key factor that
can negatively affect accuracy.

When you pull that trigger,

You've got the gases pushing
on this bullet,

Pushing it down the barrel.

But there's an opposite
and reactive force

Traveling through the stock

And back
into this man's shoulder.

Narrator:
a load cell attached

To the butt of each rifle

Will measure recoil force.

Experts will fire live rounds
through a chronometer

Into a block of fbi-Certified
ballistics clay

To determine muzzle velocity

And get an assessment
of the overall damage.

Richard's up first,

Firing Lawrence of Arabia's
s.M.L.E.

Whoo!

Narrator:
next, quay takes aim

With Roosevelt's krag carbine.

Nice.

Muzzle velocity.

Off the s.M.L.E.,

We got 2,592 feet per second.

Versus the krag,
1,958 feet per second.

Narrator:
a higher muzzle velocity

Offers potential for more damage
to the target.

But Geoff has to examine
the ballistics clay

To get a complete picture

Of the rifle's
destructive power.

Let's take a look
at quay with the krag.

And what i'm getting
off the temporary cavity here

Is five inches
at the widest point.

Looking at the s.M.L.E.,

I'm measuring a full width

Of this clay block,
which is 5 1/2 inches.

We got a higher muzzle velocity
off Richard's s.M.L.E.

And i'm seeing here
a larger temporary cavity.

So in my opinion,
the s.M.L.E. Does more damage.

Narrator: next, Geoff examines
the load cell readings

To determine
each rifle's recoil force.

On the krag,

Only a recoil
of about nine pounds.

Let's take a look
at the s.M.L.E.

Okay, big difference,
actually.

Over 37 pounds of recoil.

That's a huge factor.

I mean,
if you look at the body size

Of these two warriors,

You've got Roosevelt--

He is 5'8", 210 pounds,

And he's got the lighter rifle
with the less recoil.

Then you take Lawrence,
on the other hand,

He's 5'5", 135 pounds.

He's got the heavier weapon
with a much larger recoil.

Somebody constantly takes recoil
into their shoulder

In a drawn-Out battle,

That's gonna be a factor.

And that's an x factor

With regards to endurance
and physicality

That we can put into the sim.

Let's not forget, though,

That Lawrence
was supremely fit.

This was a guy who could run

A sub-Five-Minute mile.

If anyone could take
the kind of punishment

You're talking about,
Lawrence could.

There is more recoil
with this weapon.

But as you saw,
it causes more damage.

The krag is beautiful
to shoot.

That kick that it gives?
Childish.

I mean, you could shoot
this thing all day long.

Narrator:
coming up...

Bolt-Action rifles
taste the heat of battle.

And later,

Mack tears apart the tactics
that beat the odds

And claimed victory

For these two
legendary warriors.

This is a brutal battle.

Narrator:
teddy Roosevelt

Or Lawrence of Arabia?

Who will be
the deadliest warrior?

Narrator:
Lawrence of Arabia,

The British special operative
who built an Arab army.

Their bloody battles

Against the massive
Turkish war machine

Changed the course
of world war I...

Versus teddy Roosevelt.

His heroics
in the Spanish-American war

Captured the respect
of the world

On his way to becoming
America's 26th president.

He had a saying.

He would rather go down
in glorious defeat

Than share the ranks
with those timid souls

That knew neither victory
nor defeat.

He not only went
where the action was,

He dropped everything
to do it.

Narrator:
Geoff's first round

Of bolt-Action rifle tests

Revealed Lawrence's s.M.L.E.
Inflicts more target damage.

But it also takes a higher toll
on the shooter,

Delivering four times
the recoil impact

As Roosevelt's krag.

Now let's find out

Which rifle is more accurate
and deadly

Under the 20th century
battle conditions

Our warriors faced.

We know that both
Lawrence of Arabia

And Theodore Roosevelt
had to storm

Entrenched positions.

The area between your trench
and your enemy's trench

Was known as no-Man's-Land.

Narrator: to test
each rifle's accuracy,

Maneuverability,
and reload time,

Our experts will attack
an opposing enemy trench

With eight targets--

Three static,
three moving,

And two reactive popups.

First, they'll run
to a concealed firing position

75 yards out
and fire ten rounds.

Next, they will advance
15 yards

Through the no-Man's-Land,

Avoiding razor wire
and simulated artillery strikes,

To a second position

And fire ten more rounds.

So quay, you're up first
with the krag.

On three, two, one!

Chaaaaaarge!

[Dramatic music]

Oh, yeah!

[Grunts]

Nice.

Oh, he missed it.

Dead center, nice.

That was a hit.

Narrator:
quay must reload

The krag's
five-Round magazine

One bullet at a time.

Got it.

There we go.
There you go.

Oh, yeah!

Here he goes,
second firing position.

Move it, move it, move it.
Get down, get down.

Get down!
Get down!

Oh, ho, ho, ho!

I'm telling you, though,
the reload is killing him.

That's it.
Yeah, sweet.

That's it.
There you go.

He's making mincemeat
of those targets.

Whoa!

The charge is awesome.

Nice shot.

Excellent!

There you go.
That's another one.

Oh, yeah!
[Laughter]

That's great.

Nicely done.

Time!

Nice work.

2 minutes, 26 seconds.

Narrator: eight targets.

Eight instant kills.

It looks like it's ricocheting
off the sandbag,

Tumbling,
causing a lot bigger hole.

That by itself
is an instant kill.

Narrator:
quay killed every target

And scored 16 hits
with 20 shots from the krag.

Total hit ratio, 80%.

You brought your best game
to the table,

Moving in and taking
your shots,

Reloading your magazine.

You got all
of your instant kills.

When you're talking
about x factors for the sim,

Roosevelt and his rough riders

Demonstrated calm
under fire.

What really it comes down to
is the training.

Roosevelt's men
were very well trained

With these carbines.

They knew
what they were doing.

They knew how to use them.

I've been through
similar training,

And you can see the results.

All right, Richard.
What do you think?

I have a longer barrel,
better accuracy,

And a magazine
that holds ten rounds.

So I hope to do
the same amount of damage,

But in a shorter amount
of time.

On three, two, one!

Chaaaaaarge!

[Dramatic music]

Oh, ho!

Get down, get down, get down!

That's it.

There we go.
There you go.

Nice shot.

There you go.

Oh, popup target.

Excellent.

He's getting
those rounds off nice.

Ah, he missed it.

That's another one.

Stay low, stay low.

Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.

Narrator:
Richard reloads the s.M.L.E.

Using a ten-Round
stripper clip.

Nice.

That looks like a miss.

There you go.
There you go, brother.

Whoa!
There you go.

Nice, that was a hit.

Missed it.

Nice shot.

Come on, bring it home,
bring it home.

That is a hit.

Time!

2 minutes, 15 seconds.
Nice work.

Excellent, excellent.
Excellent.

This by itself
is an instant kill.

But you're gonna get the
trachea, maybe not rupture it,

But you'll tear it.
It'll leak.

This guy is untouched.
He lives to fight.

Narrator:
Richard killed seven

Out of eight targets.

He scored 14 hits
with 20 shots

From the s.M.L.E.

Total hit ratio, 70%.

When you're under pressure,
it can be difficult.

Especially with the heavy
artillery fire

That was simulated
in this exercise.

But the great thing
was the bolt action.

It meant that you could fire
your ten rounds very quickly.

Once again,
I think the krag proved itself.

Lighter, more maneuverable,

All eight targets,
instant kills.

Narrator:
Lawrence's s.M.L.E.

Caused more damage
and had a faster reload time.

But Roosevelt's krag proved
more accurate,

With a quarter
of the s.M.L.E.'S recoil.

So which bolt-Action rifle
gets the edge?

On the controlled test,
I liked the s.M.L.E.

Because there was
more damage there.

Moving to the dynamic
shooting environment test,

I liked the s.M.L.E. As well.

He was able to move
through it faster--

2 minutes, 15 seconds
versus 2 minutes, 26 seconds--

Because he's got

A ten-Round magazine
on this weapon.

The rifle that actually hit
the right spot

Every single time,

Whether it was
in the controlled study

Or on the field
in the dynamic study,

Was the krag.

With the s.M.L.E.,

The recoil is so much greater.

Now, you put that
in a long gunfight,

That's gonna start wearing
on your shoulder.

You're not gonna have
the perfect position

After a while.

With the krag,

You're talking about
an advantage with functionality.

With the s.M.L.E.,
you're talking about

An advantage
with technology.

It's basically a wash.

To me, it's even.

(Announcer)
For medium-Range weapons,

It's dead even.

Up next...

With Roosevelt ahead,

Can Lawrence
even the score

With his close-Range killer?

And Mack jumps
into the trenches

Of two great victories--

Roosevelt's charge
up san Juan hill...

We're gonna die
if we stay here.

Narrator:
and Lawrence's siege

At the port of aqaba.

This is a complete
diversionary tactic.

Narrator:
teddy Roosevelt

Or Lawrence of Arabia?

Who is deadliest?

Narrator:
Lawrence of Arabia

Versus teddy Roosevelt.

Mack will examine
the battlefield tactics

Of these two
legendary leaders,

A crucial x factor used
by the digital combat engine

To help determine which
combat commander is deadliest.

What is one of Roosevelt's

Favorite battlefield strategies
and tactics?

A charge.

I like to think of it
as to suppress

And slaughter his enemy.

Suppress and slaughter.

Give me a perfect example
of that.

Battle of san Juan hill.

We're gonna use
the touch table

And go there now.

There it is, Cuba.
Our backyard.

We have san Juan hill.

We have Spanish
in trench positions,

Waiting for an enemy
to attack them.

Roosevelt and the rough riders,

They're in a riverbed.

They're taking artillery fire.

They're taking
small arms fire.

He's in trouble, right?

They just start delivering
effective fire on top of them.

Yes, Roosevelt is looking
at this going, "we're dying.

We're losing men
and we're doing nothing."

So this gatling gun detachment,
they begin firing.

The gatling gun
coming online

Starts delivering
suppressive fire.

Roosevelt hears
this distinctive fire,

Looks up the hill,
sees these Spaniards starting

To go down.

The men raise a cheer,
and with him at the lead,

They come out of their position
and charge.

It takes them eight minutes
to reach the top.

In that eight minutes,
the gatling gun detachment

Fires 18,000 rounds.

Wow. They're attacking
from the front.

They're attacking
from the side,

Almost in a flanking maneuver.

And they capture
san Juan hill.

And this all leads to winning
the Spanish-American war.

Oh, yes--
Spain never came back,

Did they?

Narrator:
when the fight moved

Into the trenches,

The warriors unsheathed
their close-Combat blades.

The rough riders' knife
of choice:

The bowie hunter.

Its clip point design allows

A faster,
deeper thrust.

It's tough,
and it can do a lot of things.

You can fix your horse,
open a can of beans.

But it was also used
and really well adapted

For hunting.

Clip point,
blood groove.

This same concept is used
by the marine corps today.

Well, I think yours looks
very helpful

On a camping trip.

But if I was going
into battle,

I'd prefer to have this.

Narrator:
Lawrence of Arabia's

Preferred blade weapon:

The jambiya dagger,

The traditional knife
of nomadic Arab tribes.

The scabbard's got
a much larger curve to it

Than the actual dagger.

The reason for this

Is they'd be carried
and hooked onto a belt

In their clothing

So that when the dagger
was drawn,

The scabbard
would stay hooked

Down underneath the belt.

Lawrence, you know,
he adopted the clothing,

He adopted the jambiya.

And in fact,
just how proud he was

Is indicated by the fact

That in the last image
we have of him,

The marble effigy
on his sarcophagus,

There is his jambiya
in his belt.

Narrator:
because trench warfare

Was confined chaos,

Geoff will test the damage

And close-Quarter effectiveness

Of each blade
as enemies close in

From both sides.

Right over there will be
a pig coming down

On this zipline.

Take him out.

But you'll also have to react

To your second target
coming towards you

At 180 degrees.

Take him out.

Quay, you'll be up first

With Roosevelt's
bowie hunter.

Narrator:
a 3-D orientation sensor

Will measure the impact
velocity of each blade

To determine
which one delivers

The quickest kill.

On three, two, one!

Release the pig!

Nice.

Yeah! Yeah!
Nice!

Excellent.
All right, quay.

This is not
an instant kill.

It's not even
a mortal wound.

It's gonna hurt,
may make his arm useless,

But he's still gonna be able
to fight.

Target number two,
a beautifully delivered blow.

This one is deep enough
to cause an instant kill.

And this is exactly where
you wanna go.

The blade is heavy.

It's made for stabbing.

It goes right in.

Narrator:
one mortal wound.

One instant kill.

Impact velocity,
42 miles per hour.

Up next, Lawrence's deadly
jambiya dagger.

Release the pig!

There you go, excellent.

Ohhhh, ohhhh!

Oh, ho, ho!

Nice.

This is a huge laceration.

This is gonna love to bleed.

It's not gonna kill
by itself,

But when you get
into the stabs higher up,

You did another
laceration here.

This one is close
to three inches,

Which is great
because you're lacerating

Through all
of those vessels there.

This is an instant kill
by itself.

Narrator:
the jambiya scores

Two instant kills.

The blade's curved design
helps increase

Richard's impact velocity
to 51 miles per hour,

20% faster
than the bowie hunter.

In the end,

You had to strike out
a lot of times.

You get it once
and it kills,

That's all you need.

You have to stab it
50, 60 times,

Lot of wasted energy.

Narrator:
Roosevelt's bowie hunter

Proves to be
a deadly, efficient killer.

But the curved blade
of Lawrence's jambiya dagger

Delivers swift death
with both thrusts and slashes.

So which blade
gives its warrior the edge?

I think when you're entering
that trench

And you want to deliver
that lethal blow,

Which one sends
a more intimidating message?

So I guess in this case,
size does matter?

Size is definitely
intimidating.

Narrator:
for close-Range weapons,

Edge: Lawrence of Arabia.

Because battlefield tactics
are an essential x factor

For the digital combat engine,

Mack analyzes Lawrence's
guerrilla warfare methods.

What is one of Lawrence's
favorite battlefield

Strategy and tactics?

To hit hard and to vanish
into the desert.

He called it
a phantom army.

Perfect example is the way
that he took

The port of aqaba here.

All right,
let's go there.

The obvious thing to do
is to head straight for aqaba.

It's too obvious.
[Laughs]

Because the Turks
are too powerful.

So he would be
certainly destroyed

If he tried to do
a direct assault.

Absolutely.
So he has to fool them.

He wants the Turks to believe
he's actually going

To Damascus,
way up in the north.

All right, Damascus,
here we come.

North to Damascus.

See this explosion there?

The Turks would send a train.
He'd blow it up.

That convinced the Turks
that his objective

Was Damascus.

So they race up here.
What's Lawrence do?

[Laughing]
he races down here.

This is a complete
diversionary tactic, isn't it?

Yes.

Narrator:
as Lawrence's phantom army

Tactic unfolds,

The bulk of Turk forces
race to Damascus,

Leaving only one
Turkish battalion

To defend aqaba.

Now it's gonna be
a pitched battle.

The Arabs didn't really want
to attack the Turks

Because the Turks had
machine guns.

So what does Lawrence do?

He goes up to the hill,

And he buries his head
in his hands.

And that infuriates them.

They are humiliated
by this.

Lawrence actually figures out

"I'm gonna use psychological
warfare on my own guys."

Exactly, yes.

"I'm gonna call their manhoods
into question."

Yes.

And they literally wipe out
this battalion.

Totally.

300 dead, 200 prisoners.

And Lawrence has proven
his phantom strategy and tactics

Work on the battlefield.

They took aqaba
and changed

The whole outcome
of world war I.

Changed the history
of the middle east.

Roosevelt was fortunate

To come out
of san Juan hill alive.

His suppress and slaughter
worked for him

On that day.

But when you look
at t.E. Lawrence's ability

To adapt, improvise,
and overcome

On the battlefield,

His use of deception
in the deserts of Arabia,

T.E. Lawrence gets
the edge.

Narrator:
for battlefield tactics,

Edge: Lawrence of Arabia.

Next, the neck-And-Neck battle

Between two legends
of war explodes

In a fierce
and final showdown.

Teddy Roosevelt
and Lawrence of Arabia.

Who is deadliest?

Narrator:
teddy Roosevelt

Versus Lawrence of Arabia.

Who is deadliest?

Our team of specialists
has tested and analyzed

The weapons these two
battlefield icons brought

To this showdown.

For long-Range weapons,
Lawrence's Vickers machine gun

Came up short
against Roosevelt's gatling gun.

In medium-Range weapons,
a dead-Even draw

Between Roosevelt's
more accurate krag carbine

And Lawrence's more powerful
s.M.L.E. Rifle.

In close-Range weapons,

Roosevelt's bowie hunter
was sliced apart

By Lawrence's curved-Blade
jambiya dagger.

For battlefield tactics,

Roosevelt's suppress
and slaughter strategy

Was outflanked
by Lawrence's phantom army.

Robert Daly has entered
the crucial weapons data

Into the digital combat engine.

His team of engineers
and historians

Has also completed
their vital research

And assigned numeric values
to more than 100 x factors.

There's all of these
intangibles

That really make the difference

When you go out
on the battlefield--

What their diet is,

What their technology is.

Our historians
and our researchers

Go through all this data

And rate everything
from 1 to 100,

100 being
the perfect warrior.

How do you factor in
calm under fire

Inside the sim?

Calm under fire

Does swing towards teddy
in this

Because teddy really
did have to go in there

And mix it up.

I mean,
he's shooting Spaniards

At 15, 20 feet.

Calm under fire for teddy
is an 86,

Versus Lawrence's 81.

Makes sense to me.
It really does.

When you think about
not only physical endurance,

But the psychological
endurance that they had to have

To withstand the elements,

To withstand the desert,

To withstand
the jungle environment.

It really comes down

To Lawrence's
sub-Five-Minute mile.

And look at the hardships
that he's going through.

For endurance,
we rated teddy at a 71

But Lawrence at an 88.

Okay, guys,
the x factors were close

In this one.

The test results were close
in this one.

Let's run the sim.

Narrator:
the digital combat engine

Will execute
5,000 battle simulations,

Pitting teddy Roosevelt
and four rough riders

Against Lawrence of Arabia

And four
of his bedouin fighters.

[Dramatic music]

[Arabian-Inspired music]

Men, get that gatling gun
forward!

Move it!

Right there, right there!
Turn it! Set it down!

[Rapid gunfire continuing]

[Click, click]

Leave it. Let's go!

[Bullets ricocheting]

Get up, run!
Get up that hill!

Let's go, let's go!
Move it!

Move! We got 'em
on the run!

Cease fire, cease fire.

[Tense music]

[Huge explosion]

Spin it around!

[Dramatic music]

Soldier, man the gatling!

[Screams]

Oh, sir!
Are you okay?

I'm okay. Move!

[Battle cry]

Agh!

Agh!

[Groans]

Aah!

This is one
of the closest battles

That we've had to date.

Teddy ends up winning slightly,

2,582 to Lawrence's 2,418.

It was so close.

Narrator:
Lawrence of Arabia prevailed

In the majority
of x factors,

Like endurance and tactics.

But he couldn't overcome

The overwhelming advantage

Roosevelt's more reliable
gatling gun had

Over Lawrence's Vickers.

Teddy Roosevelt's
gatling gun

Ended up scoring
10,316 kills,

Versus Lawrence's Vickers'
7,544 kills.

Lawrence had many
of the x factors

Going for him.

He had newer technology.

But newer
does not always mean better.

You got teddy
and his rough riders

Having that
tried-And-True technology.

I knew it was gonna be close,

And the fact that teddy
was able to pull it out,

It goes to show
that a guy

Who may have started off

With severe illness
like asthma, poor vision,

Can not only be
an unbelievable warrior,

But beat a warrior
like Lawrence of Arabia.

One of Theodore Roosevelt's
greatest attributes

Was his ability
to pick a target

And keep going at it,
no matter what.

This guy
had this iron will

To get things done

And would never quit
until he accomplished them.

Aah!
