William Wallace, the legendary Gothic rebel who led a bloodthirsty army of

Highlanders against the mighty English Empire.

Shaka Zulu, the fierce African warlord who built a Zulu army that killed two

million enemies and transformed a continent.

Who is deadliest?

To find out... Our world -class fighters are testing history's most lethal

weapons.

Using 21st century science, we'll see what happens when the two warriors go

-to -toe.

No rules, no safety, no mercy.

It's a duel to the death to decide who is the deadliest

warrior.

In Los Angeles, California, We've created a bloody battle zone.

We've brought together a team of scientists.

That's awesome.

Doctors. Brutal. And combat experts.

Then armed them with an arsenal of the world's most wicked weapons.

All to simulate a battle between two of history's most legendary warriors.

William Wallace, the savage Scottish outlaw who led his troops into battle

the front line.

and brought the English army to its knees.

There's the Shaka Zulu, the African chief who transformed his tribe into a

merciless military machine that united the Zulu nation.

Biomedical scientist Jeff Damolin will lead our quest to separate fact from

fiction for these two fabled warriors.

Today, we're not just comparing two warrior classes.

We're comparing two men, William Wallace and Shaka Zulu.

They're bringing a lot of bludgeoning weapons, a lot of cutting weapons.

Every tool is built for killing.

ER physician and UFC fight doc Armand Dorian will assess the injuries.

So this is definitely in and of itself a death blow.

Computer whiz Max Geiger will track all the test findings and input the data

into a battle simulation program.

William Wallace versus Shaka Zulu is a really interesting matchup. We're

at two very different fighting styles, very diverse weapons, tactics, and

mentalities on the part of both of these men.

The simulator will take these stats and create a duel to the death between these

two legendary military leaders. The winner will be the deadliest warrior.

Wallace's weapons will be wielded by Kieron Elliott.

A native of Scotland, Tiron is an authority on combat techniques William

created.

William Wallace inspired an entire generation of Scots and basically

Scotland ever since.

Also fighting for William Wallace, Anthony DeLonghi.

Anthony is a world -class swordsman who has choreographed sword fight scenes for

some of Hollywood's biggest films.

I consider William Wallace to be one of the greatest warriors in history. He was

a true warrior.

William Wallace started off in the lowlands of Scotland in a place around

elderly. He grew up at a time where the English were ruling the Scots and were

dominating.

Wallace inspired his countrymen to rise up and fight for their freedom.

William Wallace was viewed as a rebel by many in power, but to the common man,

he was a god.

Rather than being a general on a hill saying, send in the infantry, he was the

first one in there.

Wallace's rampage to overthrow Scotland's English oppressors was

most basic emotion of all, revenge.

He married a lovely girl and the English murdered her and that's when he just

went off the rails.

And he turned it into an absolute war machine.

William Wallace was trying to send a clear message to the English that we're

going to take this, we're going to come to your land, and we're going to do to

you what you've been doing to us for hundreds of years.

It's a very strong -willed man who genuinely fought for what he believed

that's what makes him great.

Our William Wallace experts are confident, but their rivals are betting

Zulu, the man who revolutionized warfare in Africa.

Martial artist Earl White.

Earl is an expert in African weaponry and teaches the deadly sport of stick

fighting. The training method Shaka himself excelled in.

Shaka wanted to fight. Losing wasn't even a question.

Zulu warfare expert Jason Bartley.

Jason used agility training pioneered by Shaka Zulu to help him become a three

-time All -SEC linebacker.

Shaka Zulu is one of the greatest warriors in history.

He took the Zulus from a small tribe and through warfare, he made the Zulus into

the largest predominant power of southeastern Africa.

In the early 1800s, much of the territory in what is now South Africa

into dozens of warring tribes.

Shaka was the illegitimate son of a small -time Zulu chief, despised from

Shaka's father named him after a parasitic beetle.

Shaka was pretty much an outcast because he was the son of a princess and a

king, but from separate tribes. So he had animosity on both sides.

He spent his entire life waiting on revenge.

After his father's death, Shaka Zulu took over his small tribe and began

building an army that transformed African combat.

His whole essence was about up -close combat.

to impale a person.

Shaka said, we have to be fast, efficient, and brutal.

Shaka led his unstoppable army to conquer enemy tribes and rule the

plains.

Shaka's capital was called Bulawayo, Place of Slaughter.

There was a warning.

and a message to anyone who came from outside that his political policy was

murder.

So how would the Zulu's most ruthless warrior fare against the ferocious

Scottish rebel?

Shaka's goal would be to get Wallace's blood on his weapon.

There really is no competition.

It's basically like swatting an African fly.

I think Shaka Zulu's fighting style is going to be so alien to what William

Wallace is expecting. In the end, it's that X factor that's going to give him

the necessary edge.

I'm going to have to give it to Wallace simply because every weapon in his

arsenal is one hit equals one kill.

William Wallace's most deadly weapon was one of the largest swords ever used in

combat. The Claymore.

At four and a half feet long, it delivers death at a distance.

In Wallace's hands, it was a terrifying tool of destruction.

The Claymore, it's not a one hit, one kill. This is one hit, seven kills.

This will literally cut a man in half.

I'm going to cut their arms off, cut their legs out.

Very, very powerful weapon. There was a reason that he grew to the stature of

legend. He specialized in beheading people.

Definitely looks scary just by size, but the way you wield it.

Just adds another power to the punch.

Find out how much damage the Claymore can do.

Team, set up the first test.

Okay, Anthony, you say the Claymore can lop heads, right?

Yes, sir. Okay, I'm going to get you to put your money where your mouth is.

You've got three necks here made of meat and the skull is just a little icing on

the cake.

I don't want to see three separate swings. I want to see one swing, three

heads. I think you better stand back.

Three, two.

One, go.

Look how nice and smooth this blade went through. This means

a lot of force and speed for it to be that precise.

It went through the joints of that neck and just went right through. Well, it

almost looks like it went through one of those hand -slicing machines. It's

basically turned everything in an eight -foot radius into a kill zone.

Every detail of that carnage was captured on the high -speed camera.

Can't wait to see this.

Anything in the path of this blade is going down.

It's like the Grim Reaper.

You look like the Grim Reaper.

Those heads are looking at

you as they're falling, so that may be the last conscious thing they see.

I can see why William Wallace loved this weapon.

Despite the slicing power, the Zulu experts are unimpressed.

It's a big, long weapon, but it's also slow.

I have no problem thinking that Shaka would have many ways to counteract that.

You get underneath that, he's giving me all his back.

And the blade is very long. That gives me more time to see it.

A shorter blade is harder for me to sit if it's moving fast.

You think he can move an eight -foot radius and get behind me when I'm

at him and standing behind this weapon? I don't think so.

They're back this time.

I don't care what's behind me. Anything that walks into that 180 -degree buzzsaw

is going to be cut in half, felled like a tree.

Team Wallace thinks they've dealt a fatal blow to Shaka Zulu.

But our Zulu experts are about to deliver a piercing lesson with the Zulu

William Wallace or Shaka Zulu?

Who will be the deadliest warrior?

Inside the Fight Club.

Experts on two of history's greatest warriors are gearing up for a bloody

to the death.

The question, if William Wallace fought Shaka Zulu, who would win?

Anyone who encounters Shaka and his troops, they'd be encircled and they'd

impaled. Grass skirt, nice and light, and I'm sure he can move in it very

easily, but there's no defense whatsoever, especially against this

Each warrior brings his own arsenal of deadly weapons.

Shaka Zulu comes to battle with the Iquaz Spear and the Shlongu Shield.

The Iwasa Club, the spit of poison.

and the Zulu axe.

William Wallace slashes in with a claymore saw, ball and chain, war

Taj shield, and Dirk deck.

I'm seeing a philosophy here with the William Wallace's weapons.

It's a one -shot, one -kill design.

Shaka Zulu is saying his main strategy is speed, and what we're seeing on

William Wallace's weapons is they're slightly slow.

What we're going to need to see from Shaka, though, is something that's a

bit more convincing than I'm fast and I can dodge it.

Shaka Zulu revolutionized African combat tactics, developing specialized weapons

for his army, including a devastating stabbing spear.

This is the Inquah.

The name comes from the sound that's made when you stab into the body.

When you pull it out.

An easily wielded wood spear with a razor sharp iron spike.

What we have is a long stabbing knife. I can stab with this, stab, and slice.

So it all depends on the range.

I can come up.

I can slice low into the legs. I can stab into the groin. A nasty blade.

Let's get this one started.

But how effective would the equa be against a 100 -pound flying pig?

You ready, Earl? I'm ready.

Release the pig.

Equa.

but it's better now.

You guys have been boasting movement from Shaka Zulu, and you've demonstrated

here. Okay, there's a few things we could talk about immediately with

trauma. We got a collapsed lung, but if you look down here, you're actually

seeing severed spine, which is pretty impressive.

I mean, that takes a lot of strength, and it takes a lot of agility to get

blade right in the right spot with multiple strikes. This isn't like a

which is a one swoop, but this is rapid fire, kind of like a machine gun of

blades.

It'd be the analogous of floating like a butterfly and stabbing like a Zulu.

I like that.

Django would like that.

We are seeing a lot of movement here. Anything that blade touches, it cuts

through.

Scottish barbecue.

Team William Wallace is unimpressed.

First of all, it's easy to gut a pig that's already been gutted.

Second of all, you're just going in through flesh.

Third, we had chain mail on. I want to see the same chest.

with chainmail, only then can it be a proper comparison to the actual event.

And the Zulu spear pierced the armor William Wallace would have worn.

This is a mild 12 -gauge steel, four -in -one pattern, unriveted chainmail

armor, very typical for the William Wallace era.

Let's check it out. Okay.

You ready, Earl? I'm ready.

Three, two, one, go!

Yeah!

Zulu! Zulu!

See how deep did you go?

About that far. So you're going to actually hit the largest vessel in the

which is the aorta. I mean, this is definitely going maybe an inch or two in

front of the spine.

This is essentially a death blow.

The equine has devastating stabbing power, and it's only half of a weaponry

combination that helps Shaka Zulu conquer Southern Africa.

This is the heart of the Zulu warrior as much as the spirit is.

He is Shlongu's shield.

Oxhide leather that the Zulu say can even stop a musket bullet.

This was designed specifically for the short spear. So the shield should be

to cover the body. So I can come underneath you. I can slice your legs. I

even slice up high when you don't see it.

An effective defense in Zulu combat.

Can the Islangu shield stand up to a punishing blow from a weapon that never

existed in Africa, the Scottish claymore?

They've got light shields, and we'll simply go straight through the shield

straight through them. They've got no chance whatsoever.

Measure the strength of the shield.

Jeff prepares a new test.

Behind here, we've got a load cell, so we'll be able to tell just how much

comes down on the shield, and we'll be able to see just how much damage the

claymore can do.

Anthony, you ready?

Ready? Three, two, one, go.

Holy.

I think we've got a dead Zulu on our hands.

I'm lucky he didn't go through the load cell as well.

We've got about 310 pounds.

If Shaka Zulu's hands behind that shield, at least one bone in his hand,

forearm is going to be busted.

Worst case scenario, and you have to rely on the shield, I don't think it's

going to be much defense.

We don't rely on the shield.

I'm glad. We don't rely on the shield. I'm really glad for you. The movement,

the agility, and the speed, and the mindset.

The Zulu mindset is not to stay and take it, or else we would have developed a

stronger shield.

The Scottish mindset is search and destroy.

So I'm coming.

Scottish experts believe in both the Claymore and William Wallace's

approach to combat.

William Wallace started training with weapons as a boy, so he had a lot of

experience. Skills learned early in life made Wallace a leader of men on the

battlefield. They would train them to anything they could get their hands on

train them up to fighting ability.

The guys that William was attracting were your renegades, were your battlers,

your scrappers, and really trained them to the best of his ability.

As a young man, Shaka also mastered Zulu stick fighting to develop techniques

that would prove lethal with a spear.

He would learn to work the angles of a stick, work high techniques, work low

sweeping techniques, blocking with the fan block and the shield.

As a leader, Shaka trained his warriors to ignore pain.

He made them run through and dance in thorn bushes and on sharp rocks, so pain

didn't exist. If they didn't stand up to the training...

They were killed.

You do the training. You block out pain.

You are awarded.

And will Shaka Zulu's fierceness be enough to slay William Wallace?

It's really not a fair matchup. We've got chain mail. We've got all of this

weaponry. We've got no chance whatsoever.

It's not necessarily the weapon. It's how you use the weapon. Our mindset, our

training methods allow us to be flexible.

I haven't seen that in their thinking.

So which warrior has the edge in mid -range weapons?

Both weapons were very impressive.

The Inkwa did something that I didn't expect. It went through chain mail. But

the Claymore did something I didn't believe was possible. It lopped off

heads. So I got to go with the Claymore. The edge for mid -range weapons goes to

William Wallace for the Claymore.

Coming up, Team Zulu comes out swinging with an instrument of terror.

while Team Wallace unleashes their own chilling bone cruncher.

William Wallace or Shaka Zulu.

It will be one of the most intense battles of the century to see these two

fight.

Inside the Fight Club, the clock is ticking down to a death match between

history's greatest warriors.

Scottish Rebel William Wallace.

or African warlord Shaka Zulu.

Zulu experts believe William Wallace will be shattered when confronted by

Shaka's fierce approach to combat.

When Shaka has a chance to impale this weapon into William Wallace, he's going

to love it, because there's nothing like a victory.

The William Wallace experts are putting their faith in the Scotsman's love of

brute force.

I don't think they're ready for the sheer weight of our weaponry. It's going

come, and they're not going to be able to stop it.

Wallace used a terrifying weapon to pummel the enemy's front line.

The ball and chain.

A 12 -pound sledgehammer that could be thrown or slung with bone -crushing

force.

The weapon I've been waiting for. This is the ball and chain. It doesn't look

big, doesn't look heavy, but my goodness.

The mass involved in that is incredible.

Very dense.

So obviously this is a formidable weapon, but listen to this.

Absolutely solid.

To put the ball and chain to the test, an ice torso is placed on a tech scan

pressure mat to measure the strength of the hit.

Kieran, are you ready? Yep. On your go, man. I'm going to trigger on you.

Wow!

Not the most accurate weapon, is it? No.

Oh!

No. No way.

Yeah! Oh!

That'll work.

Oh, my.

Well, job well done, I think.

Well, here's Frosted Hulu's head.

This is smaller than a man's torso.

You took it right out. But it looks to me like you hit the throat.

Crushing the windpipe hits you in the sternum, cracking the sternum, breaking

ribs, possibly contusing the heart. This is meant to break a shield line. This

is early artillery.

So this is a long -range weapon, but it could be utilized at close range, as you

can see. And whatever this hits, I mean, wow, it's just going to devastate.

Right. Okay, so here it comes, guys. I got an energy density of 3 ,200 joules,

which essentially means you're getting hit by a motorcycle going about 16 miles

per hour. It climbed its way up the chest, hit the chin, knocked the head

off. Forget it. This is going to hit him on his ass, no question.

Yeah, he'd be taking a trip off the field in a pine box or whatever Zulu

customs are. That's an impressive impact, no doubt.

But with the windup, I don't see that hitting. You said it'd shock his

grandmother. If he got hit with that...

he would be killed by his fellow Zulu. That's an exercise tool. That's not a

weapon. Can William Wallace hit Shaka Zulu with this weapon and kill him?

what I want to know. I'm not certain it is from this test.

No way.

If you can't hit him, it's a dead weight. Dead weight's slowing you down,

you're already up against a fast opponent.

You can talk about accuracy and speed and everything, but I think that is

possibly the most devastating incident we have.

Hands down.

And I want the bike.

You can have it.

Wallace experts are confident, but our scientists are not as convinced.

I've been confident with William Wallace up until now. I thought for sure this

was going to be an instant kill shot. That's not what we saw.

And to have them say they were going to use it in close, I just don't buy it.

Team Zulu's long -range answer is 10 pounds lighter than the ball and chain.

And they say it's also more lethal.

A strong, short wooden club topped by a bone -crushing knob.

This African war club is a lot lighter than what we saw with William Wallace's

ball and chain weapon. So I'm guessing we're going to have a lot higher

effective range on this. Am I right?

This particular weapon, the Iwisa, you're going to think that this is just

striking club, but we throw it too.

Thrown end over end, the Iwisa slams into enemies with stunning force.

When we're throwing it, it's part of the attack.

Anything that makes them disrupt their normal movement, that gives us an

opening, because we can close 15 to 8 feet very quickly.

Okay, well, there's the target.

Let's get this party started.

Jason will test the Ouisa's power to penetrate a defensive barrier by trying

smash blood -filled splatter balls sealed inside a glass case.

Jay, are you ready?

Two, three,

two, one.

I've seen less glass at motor vehicle accidents.

It is fast.

We clocked it at 35 miles per hour throwing speed.

So around 60 feet per second? Around 60 feet per second. Right. So we say

quarter second to perceive that weapon coming at you, another quarter second to

get out of the way. Using that analogy, this is a 30 feet effective range. That

would be the range we'll use to put into our computer program.

At 30 feet, we'd be aiming. At 15, it's relief.

And by the time it makes contact with the target, if they've blocked or

we're on top of them.

At that range, there's basically no chance for William Wallace to evade. Did

see that, guys?

Yeah, even better for us. He disarmed himself beautifully.

Check, check, check.

He's in the shadows.

He's in the shadows. Now watch this.

Oh, sweet.

Anthony's head.

Kid in his head.

Oh.

That instrument you were using, In Scotland, it's known as a wee pointy

Now, we train with them when we're eight, but when we progress on to being

men, we train with swords.

That's useless.

That's why you get that.

Look, guys.

Straight off.

Yeah, in Africa, we just deal with big sticks, but anyway.

But, I mean, seriously, we are covered in chain mail, helmets, we've got a lot

of armoury. That's going to do nothing.

Between the ball and chain and the Iwisa, the ball and chain, I don't think

accuracy is going to be enough.

The Iwisa can be thrown accurately, and while it won't necessarily kill, it can

stun. I give the edge to the Iwisa and Shaka Zulu.

A long -range weapon, Shaka Zulu takes the edge with the Iwisa.

Coming up, the battle intensifies as Team Wallace tries to bring their hammer

down on Shaka Zulu.

Who will be their deadliest warrior?

William Wallace, Shaka Zulu.

Two legendary fighters from very different worlds, but equally determined

loose. Neither one of them would ever give an inch. It would be one of the

intense battles of the century to see these two men fight.

Both of our expert teams believe their warrior's arse has the ultimate short

-range killing tool.

This was designed specifically for breaking bones, for getting through the

helmet, and for breaking dolls.

If that comes anywhere near your head, you're a goner.

Up first, the Warhammer.

A two -sided weapon with a spike to rip open armor and a blunt end to smash

heads. To test both ends of the hammer, two scabs.

One smooth, the other encased in gel with the same resistance as human skin.

Anthony, are you ready? Ready? Three, two, one, go!

Any questions?

That was incredible.

There's a piece of skull over 30 feet away.

So the skull is completely destroyed, but with regards to this ballistics gel

head, what's important here is you see it go through the soft tissue. We don't

have a lot of soft tissue on top of our skull, so it did that pretty easily. It

goes through the skull, right through the frontal portion of the brain,

through the soft and hard palate of the mouth, and down to the spine.

Let's pull it out. Figure out just how deep into his head that was.

It's a good four inches. And if I actually insert my finger, I could feel

brain matter coming home in pieces if you get hit with this.

Oh, look at that. That just looks menacing.

Can you imagine seeing that coming in?

That did actually more.

Split the skull in half. Exactly.

Split the skull in half.

Doing more hammering than spiking, even on that end. The Warhammer.

One hit, one kill, but it's also fast.

Two kills in under 1 .8 seconds. It's fast, but it's also short, and I'm

about range.

And up close, I think Shaka's got a lot of surprises.

And the Shaka Zulu experts feel their short -range weapon will cut William

Wallace down to size.

The Zulu Axe.

A half -moon -shaped blade designed to hook an opponent's shield, then hack off

their limbs.

In war, because it has a heavy head, it's basically something you can use as

pendulum.

All a warrior has to do is actually come down or come up, and the momentum of

the axe gives you a deadly cut.

Sensors will track the velocity of the battle axe in full swing, as well as the

force of impact as it strikes the target.

A leg from a steer.

Jay, are you ready? I'm ready.

Three, two, one, go!

Look at the carnage on this thing, man. It looks what I threw on my grill last

night. Yeah, this is as good as you're going to fillet a side of beef.

I mean, this is impressive.

He's wedged an area out on the bone right here. A blow like this is going to

knock you on your ass. How fast was that moving?

I clocked him at 23 miles per hour. Not the fastest two -handed weapon we've

seen, but it's definitely up there. And if it's got all that weight... in the

head of the weapon, it'll definitely knock you around a little bit. But we're

wandering in with axes as well. You guys had grass skirts. We had helmets. You

had headbands.

Point blank. You have to get past a long spear, a short spear. And once you get

to this weapon, you've been gutted. Your bowels are on the floor. You're not

doing anything after that. We're talking about close contact.

We've got actions as well. Your shield is just a thin piece of height.

We go straight through that. But what's your footwork like? How are you going to

hang with us? We're maneuvering a 360 around you in every angle. Take a couple

of those before we can get one of them in. Okay.

You can see a lot of trauma in a short period of time. That is pretty

impressive.

Come on. That is pretty. Oh, man.

I'm guessing about half a second between each strike.

That's almost like a perfect 90 -degree angle where those two cross.

Yeah. Because he's coming in at 45 on one side, 45 on the other.

Yeah. That's where they meet. Like that X.

That type of a cut on a body is the most difficult to actually repair because

you have.

No blood flow to that end of the tissue to try to bring together so that'll

bleed out a lot faster.

With the time it takes to swing the axe, expose the Zulu warrior to a

counterattack. Take two warriors who are equally skilled at cutting the other

guy down in mere moments, both of them coming out as hard as they can. The one

who knows how to recover from that and the one who knows how to defend.

I guarantee it. He's going to be the one who's standing at the end of the

battle. A Zulu warrior isn't concerned with it. He's not worried about

himself from his enemy when his enemy has been decapitated.

It's impressive, but it's a lack of strategy.

The strategy is barrier.

Damage is damage in my mind, and I did see a fairly quick recovery there.

After crunching the numbers on the act and Warhammer, our experts cannot deny

which has more killing power.

The Zulu axe is a multifunctional tool. And you've got to go with the thing that

you can do more damage with, and you can actually do some defense with it. So

I've got to go with the axe.

Short -range weapons.

Shaka Zulu takes the edge with his axe.

William Wallace has yet to reveal his signature shield and dagger.

While the Zulu nation prepares to release a weapon a Scotsman would never

imagine. Oh, sick.

Shaka Zulu or William Wallace?

Who will be the deadliest warrior?

Inside our fight club, the teams continue to test their weapons to

is deadlier. African warlord Shaka Zulu or Scottish rebel William Wallace?

I think what the Zulu are not expecting from William Wallace is just instant

kill. We've got metal going in. We've got big, heavy guys that are used to

taking a bit of a punishment.

Again, no competition.

The continent of Africa is always in a state of flux. There's always a battle.

That's our daily ritual.

What do Zulus have to fear from William Wallace?

For him to come in and think there's any sense of intimidation is sheer

stupidity. Shaka Zulu relished hand -to -hand combat, and the killing power of

his stabbing spear and Zulu axe has stood up in our test.

But for close -quarter combat, William Wallace carried a killer combination of

handheld weapons.

The tarsh, a Scottish shield with a wicked 10 -inch spike.

And its deadly partner, the dirt, a Scottish dagger designed to stab, slash

slay. The tarsh, the Scottish shield, it's a laminated wooden shield covered

leather. Very nasty -looking spike in the front.

The second line of attack.

With the Dirk, it's a very long -bladed knife. Once you've deflected any initial

blow, you're straight in there for a fatal swipe.

To test the killing power of the Taj and Dirk, a fresh target.

Kieran, could you show me how you're going to use the shield on this guy?

Well, because I'm going in with the spike, I'm going to have a two -handed

attack on the tars.

I'm going to come in swinging around to gain momentum, driving it in through the

chest. Okay, perfect. So if I put this accelerometer right here to get that

impact velocity, it's not going to bother you at all? No, not at all. Jeff

attaches his sensor to both weapons and warrior to measure the force of the

impact. Nice.

Kieran, are you ready?

Three.

Two, one, go!

Pretty intense.

Well, this is pretty impressive. The stab wound up here is going through the

temporal artery, fracturing the skull right behind the mandible, and it goes

the way through and it comes out at the base of the skull right at the spine.

I mean, this is paralysis at its worst because... you're bleeding out as you're

paralyzed. So this is definitely, in and of itself, a death blow.

Add to that this little icing on the cake that you put here at the end where

go straight through the heart and come out the back.

No, we don't mess around.

Check this out, guys.

Now watch.

Watch that.

Oh, God. It's cutting as it came.

Oh, you actually pulled it straight out. I tore it downwards. I was aiming for

the jugular. Oh, okay.

That's vicious.

And this is devastating.

What do you guys got to bring to defend against the Dirk?

Speed, agility, working angles. We won't be there.

And they say they won't be there because they're going to run away as soon as

they see us. The Zulu warrior doesn't turn his back.

Oh, cool.

Bring it on.

Sharkazulu expert prepared to reveal the warrior king's most cunning secret

weapon.

Poison. Stilled from toxic plants, it could cause paralysis and blindness.

Zulus even developed an innovative way to deliver it.

The Zulus would chew a particular herb.

The herbs wouldn't hurt them, but they would hurt the opponent to spit in the

yourself? They had been chewing this herb for months, maybe years, so they

a resistance to it. There's a lot of things that you can put in your mouth

are caustic to your eye. You know, you can eat chili peppers. Of course,

hot, but if it goes in your eye, it's pretty blinding. Now, that's temporary,

but well beyond the amount of time you need to actually kill somebody.

Poison could also be carried into battle on sharpened ostrich feathers.

Toxic hypodermic needles.

Armed with poison -tipped feathers, Jason prepares to blind his opponent

caustic spray to the eyes.

Jay, you ready?

Three, two, one, go!

Yeah! Got it.

Get these lights down.

I want to take a look with the black light.

Yeah, you're definitely getting some of this toxin in the eyes. But the key

thing to remember is when they're rubbing their eyes, they can't hold that

weapon.

Really? Is that all they've got? There was one fatal flaw in that particular

flight. And that is, how far can you spit, Keith?

Let's take a look.

Definitely has the attitude.

It's not just the mist in the eyes with the poison, but it's that he follows up

immediately with a blow.

You know what, guys? I'm agreeing with everything that's been said so far.

This is an effective distraction technique, but it's not the distraction

warrior, okay? It's the deadliest warrior. And is this a killing blow, yes

no? I say no.

What I like about the Tarzan Dirk over the Poison is the fact you're bringing

two tools to do one job.

It gives you options.

When you've got options, it gives you success. So as far as the special

are concerned, I'm giving it all to the Tarzan Dirk.

The edge in special weapons goes to William Wallace for the Taj and Dirk.

With testing complete, each side feels their warrior will kill the other.

I've been seeing what Claymore can do to one of those little hide shields. These

are war instruments.

William Wallace is not an obstacle.

King Shaka is going to impale William Wallace.

Coming up, William Wallace, Shaka Zulu.

The battle begins.

The moment of truth has arrived.

Our experts have run their final test on William Wallace and Shaka Zulu.

And they're about to find out which of these legendary warriors would kill the

other.

Our team tested a lethal arsenal for each warrior.

The William Wallace, the Claymore, Orland Chain, Warhammer, and the TIE

Shield and Dirk Dagger.

Shaka Zulu, they tested the equal spear, Islongu shield, Iwisa club,

Zulu axe, and the spit of poison.

For long -distance weapons, Shaka Zulu's Iwisa club went up against William

Wallace's ball and chain.

The Iwisa's effective range was almost three times that of the ball and chain.

So what that means, when we punch these numbers in the computer...

As these warriors approach one another, we're going to start seeing hits from

the Awisa before we see any hits from the Ball and Chain.

Edge, Shaka Zulu.

The mid -range weapons, we've pitted the Iquaz Spear against William Wallace's

Claymore. The Iquaz is certainly impressive, and the fact that it can

William Wallace's armor is going to be very important later on in the game.

said, however, I just don't see the shield offering enough protection.

To stop the devastating swings of the Claymore, when we look at how the heads

are going to roll, I have to give the edge to William Wallace and the

William Wallace.

A special weapon.

William Wallace's Taj and Dirk combination.

Faced off with Chaka Zulu's spit of poison.

The targe was able to put something through someone's heart and point out

back. The other one has a component of stealth, so your eyes are burning. Big

difference.

Irritation, death.

You've got to go with death.

Edge, William Wallace.

In short -range weapons, the Zulu Axe was tested against William Wallace's

Warhammer. I think the overall length of the Zulu axe gives it an attacking

advantage that we're not going to see with the Scottish Warhammer.

Edge, shock a Zulu.

To prevent their showdown from being won by a single lucky blow, the battle will

be run a thousand times in a simulation program developed by Slytherin Studios.

After seeing all of the tests and reviewing all of the data that we've

I've put all of our numbers into the simulation. I think it's time to fire it

and decide between Shaka Zulu and William Wallace, who is the deadliest

62 .1 % of the time.

Shaka Zulu only won 37 .9 % of the time. That's almost a two -to -one margin.

That's a crushing defeat for Shaka, a devastating victory for William Wallace.

Initially, I thought Shaka Zulu was going to win, but after seeing the

literally lop off three heads, I'm not surprised.

At the end of the day, it goes beyond the weapons, and Shaka had a certain

of spirit.

You can't put that in a computer.

Wallace definitely had the best. With weapons, Wallace had the best attack. He

is the embodiment of the deadliest warrior.

This Sunday on a special new night, it's terrorist versus terrorist in the most

controversial deadliest warrior yet.

As the IRA.

The IRA's never been beaten by anybody.

Battles the Taliban.

They believe that they're doing this in the name of outlaw. An all new deadliest

warrior, IRA versus Taliban, on a special new night this Sunday at 9.
