    This whole show is a joke. They try to compare two weapons, but put them through different tests. Also, the weapons they assign to the warriors are off (Wallace with the Claymore, IRA with the flamethrower, etc.). They're not really testing warriors, but their weapons. It should be called "Deadliest Weapons".

    I don't know that they're really "testing " anything. Thier thousand simualtions for an average outcome assumes the the simulations have some validity. I did have to laugh my **** off at the Zulu supporters though, counting on fighting spirit to carry the day. It reminded me of the allied high command in the early days of WWI, convinced that machine guns were no match for calvary because of the horsmens' superior "elan".

    IRA vs the Taliban? You are right it is a war of attrition. Give them each a thousand bombs. At the end of the day the IRA is out of bombs, but the Taliban have at a minimum one thousand casualties.

    I stopped watching this show when I realized that the guys staging the simulation were injecting their own bias into the outcome.

    Yes, the pirate gun was cool when it actually fired, but the fact that it misfired no less than six times before successfully firing leads me to think that six times out of seven, the knight would have taken his damn head off.
