Yeah. It kinda got outta hand. Oh well. Next time I’ll hand you a yellow card I suppose. Hahaha. Anyways, back to the deadliest warrior… The IRA should have no problem with the Taliban. I’m kinda anxious to see where they dug up the “expert” for the taliban and if he’s a supporter lmao…
Oh. Not at all, Big Boss. But some of the match ups and outcomes on Deadliest Warriors are pretty rediculous.
Spetznaz beating the Green Berets, Samurai beating Viking, Apache beating Gladiator…
I’m sure you see where I’m getting at.

True…but I only take it for face value. After all…its for entertainment. It’s like how you mentioned the sterotyping of Vikings. In a sense,the entire show stereotypes(outside the prominent individuals…like William Wallace,Shaka,etc.) a particular soldier’s group/culture.
A computer can’t factor in the individuality,mental fortitude, and personal intelligence of an individual soldier from a particular group. These things determine how “deadly” a warrior will be even before a weapon is in the mix. And it necessarily doesn’t matter what weapon he chooses.
A strong-minded,determined soldier with lesser tools will be the victor over a weak-minded,undetermined soldier with more advanced tools.
I will agree that common sense does negate some of the outcomes.
Yeah. I agree with you entirely on that.
Hey. I got one. It could very well be the fight of the century. Mr. Rogers vs. Dr. Phil
Who…
Is…
DEADLIEST??

You can tell by the tone this guy is a troll. Don’t even bother.
I’m really into history, especially military history…the idea of this show sounded good but the way they present it SUCKS ASS. Everyone on the show needs to take the tampon out of their ass and grow the fuck up. I absolutely hate how they go back and fourth about how were gona kick ur ass! no way brah! we own you!..its horrid to watch. T
he weapon demos are pretty good but the deciding factors are ridiculous…they give “the edge” to one weapon over another for asinine reasons and the simulation…its made by slytherin company ffs…does this look like a fuckin harry potter movie to you?
I would match rather watch a show just testing the weapons rather than this bullshit.
Rant over

Ah lag. Sorry for the double post. Didn’t think it the first one went through. Oh well. Nah. The discovery channel sucks. Just because you do it for a living doesn’t mean you automatically know everything about it. That in itself is arrogant to think. [/quote]
He is SF you dumb ass. How old are you? Fourteen I’m guessing.
D
I felt pretty sad for the Green Beret who was tested at how quickly he could swing his axe/shovel weapon. The host of the show totally bagged on him for it.
I don’t for one second think they have a computer doing any factoring in of anything. Inputting “data” about some half-assed tests and running “1000 simulations?” Get fucked.

many lives were claimed, but eventually
the champion stood, the rest saw their better:
Mr. Rogers in a bloodstained sweater
Taliban vs IRA may actually be reality if Britain keeps importing and breeding Muslim extremists.
Also, if the Taliban gets to use a suicide vest, does it still count as a win?
What will the weapons be?
Just guessing…
Taliban - AK, Makarov, long ass wavy knife and a vial of acid
IRA - FAL, Hi Power, head butt and a bottle of Jameson
the taliban better get annihilated just for the fact that the taliban and muslim terrorists fucking suck dick.
Lol. That’s a funny song, Chris. My personal favorite part was, “Abraham Lincoln came back from the grave, he pulled an AK-47 from out of his hat and blew his ass away with a ratta-tat-tat!”
Well, Ron. You might be hitting it head on about the computer thing. Then again they could very well have a computer set up for that. But it most likely doesn’t have any calculating abilities comparable even to a Speak and Spell.
Lmfao @ suicide vest
“Close range weapon: Akhmed Bomber Vest”
Now that you mentioned it, I wouldn’t be surprised if they had a Islama-Nazi run towards the IRA guys and try to blow them up.
I personally don’t think it’s even a contest. The Taliban might be fanatical nut jobs… But skilled fighters? I don’t think so. All they do is hide behind women and children and plant road side bombs like the cowards they are.
IRA might not be much better. I know they did some messed up shit, like blowing up busses instead of going after political targets. But I’m sure they know how to handle themselves better than the fascist Islama-Nazi scum…
The only thing that makes the Taliban remotely dangerous is the shitty ass rules of engagement that our fucking dumbshit politicians give to our brothers at arms. “Can’t do this, can’t do that. You better not blow that building up! There could be civilians in there sympathetic to the Islama-Nazi’s cause!”
So… The IRA won’t have any stupid rules of engagement restricting their combat effectiveness… So… if they go by reality… the IRA won’t have a problem… I’m anxious to see this one.

Why didn’t they put Army Delta Force against Spetznaz? In any case, in real life the Green Berets would win.
And the “Green Berets” they got for the show were a joke. Missing a stationary target with a 9mm is just sad. Any Green Beret worth his salt would be packing a 1911 .45 ACP anyways, not some shitty 9mm girly gun. An M-4 Carbine? What a joke, that’s standard infantry crap. Special Forces use what ever rifle they feel will get the job done and it sure as shit ain’t gonna be some .223 varmint round. I’m tired of pussies not able to handle the recoil of .308s. If you can’t handle a .308, then you don’t have any business soldiering in the U.S. Army, especially if you’re SF.
Haha the Maori “Warrior” was amusing to watch. I wouldn’t take something like that seriously on a battlefield, especially when they’re doing that stupid cheer leading chant… and of course the classic 2 year old tongue protrusion… Nyaaahhh!!! Neener neener neener! I’d be embarassed to claim Maori heritage after seeing that.
Wanna know what’s even more pathetic? During the fight with the Monk and Cannibal… The Monk made a critical error in the opening engagement, whereas if it would have been in real life… The Maori would have killed the Monk and had himself some Chinese Take out for dinner. Hahaha. So much for thousands of years of training…
Pirate vs. Knight? Are you kidding me? How is that even remotely fair? Everyone knows a gun will pwn a sword. Take the gun away from the pirate and see what happens.
Oh boy, this one was the worst… Viking vs. Samurai this is face-palm material. Everyone seems to think Vikings were just some big slow innacurate brainless brute, when infact, they were smarter than anyone else in that age when it came to tactics and technology. How is a Katana faster than a longsword? It weighs about 2 1/2 pounds and the longsword weighs 3 pounds. A mere half a pound more and the Viking is only using one hand as opposed to two.
Sword technique for the Vikings has been around longer than that of the Samurai. I didn’t see the Viking using his shield like the Spartan did, which all Vikings who had shields used it offensively and defensively. Ont he show he just sorta held it infront of him… And a Viking isn’t going to throw his shield down after it gets a little damage. Vikings made their shields out of wood specifically so when a weapon such as a sword, axe or even a club hit it, it would get stuck in the shield and give the Viking an oppurtunity to give his opponent a death blow.
lmao… ok what ever… How is a 5’ 140lbs man going to knock a 6’4 200lbs man around with a stupid stick? A historically accurate Viking would have bashed his shield against the club using his superior strength and size to counter the attack and plow the samurai like a bull dozer and gone in for a gut stab.
They argue the Samurai is just so quick and has accurate technique, okay… well… I didn’t see any of that in the battle… most of the time the samurai was trying to use brute force against… a Viking… >_>… The Vikings were masters of the sword and were notorious for making extremely well ballanced blades.
People didn’t fear them because they sucked and didn’t know how to fight. People feared them because they usually had smaller numbers and still managed to kill their opponents with relative ease. They are infact the only warrior culture where such a high number of cities have just given up when they had word of the Viking’s arrival. Another thing, the Vikings covered more ground than the Samurai did, therefore fought many different types of warriors of different cultures. The samurai only fought samurai.
How about Berserkers? Men who were so ferocious and skilled in battle that they wore NOTHING in combat. No shirt, pants or armor of any kind. Just their weapon. Anyways… Don’t get me wrong, I’m a pretty big fan of the Samurai too… but when it comes down to Viking vs. Samurai… the Viking has a better chance of winning. (Fights won usually depend on the fighter, but the Vikings clearly had an advantage over the Samurai.) I believe in all reality, the only true match for a skilled Viking Warrior, would be a Templar.
A computer can’t tell who is gonna win a battle. The only way to find this out would be to have an actual REAL spar. I can tell you right now, If you gave me some chainmail, a Viking Shield and Longsword and put me up against a samurai with a katana… I’m gonna have me-self some fun… Hell… just give me a Dane Axe and I’ll still pwn that little jap with his stupid two handed saber.

Like the Viking would stand still with his shield down while the Samurai shot arrows at his eye. Let’s see how well he shoots at a moving target running at him wielding a sword.
Another story. I am a chiropractor. I shoot for fun and hunting. I am not a death machine or expert, but I am skilled when I practice.
When I was in my late 20s we were shooting at a friends place. I shot 5 bowling pins from a table at 7 yards away with a pump Remington 870. In 2 seconds according to my buddies stop watch, from my go. The Green Beret expert hits four targets with a Mossberg pump gun.
You have to be kidding me.
Heh. I’ve given it some thought. And I think they were most likely just out of practice. Another thing could very well be, they aren’t used to using those weapons, so they weren’t that familiar with them. The show could have been like, “well you have to use these exact weapons”
I think the guy who was missing with that 9mm usually uses a .45ACP. I went shooting with my friend one day and I use a Springfield 1911 .45ACP, he had a Glock .40 cal (Not the full size one, but the smaller version) I’m a really good shot with my .45, but when I shot my friends glock… I was WAY off… I just wasn’t used to the gun.
The Green Berets have a wide variety of weapons they can use. They’re not limited to just what they showed on Deadliest Warriors. What they showed on the show was standard infantry stuff.
IRA won as they should. My kid could hit those targets with his deer rifle at twice the distance off hand. I could do it at 100 yards easy.
AKs are reliable because they are loose, which means inaccurate. Spray and pray means miss a lot.
