Deadliest warrior

this is a really cool show that shows lots of battle weapons. the winners are arguable but the tests are pretty sweet. the highland broad sword easily cut off three heads.

I'm actually making plans for a set of zulu weapons for amtgard/belegarth. The show is pretty good, but theres a lot it's missing in terms of testing parameters and such, like with the latest, they tested the ranged weapons against different types of targets when they should always test weapons against the same targets for accurate comparison.

i follow this show and the online shows "the aftermath" where they talk about it. rest ashured that they spend hours testing each weapon, and days testing everything total, but they never tell you that in the show. only the "cool" shots make it on the show. but i do agree that they are not consistent (or at least it appears that way) with their targets

Take the Latest episode. They proved the IRA's assault rifle was un-reliable and jammed, yet they still gave it the edge.

Also, they are only taking into account the gear, not the tactics, of each group.



I was annoyed as all heck when they gave the edge to the Spetnatz ballistic knife over the GReen Barrettes E-tool. Ballistic knife will drop one opponent at range, then is use less. E-tool will drop as many as gets in range. adn canm be thrown with deadly accuracy and force. I did it all the time with my old one. but it got stolen.

you might want to check out our practice pix if you are still interesting in making those, we have our own zulu fighter. you might have to look for him, but he's in several shots
