A Celt.

The savage, war -loving barbarian from 400 BC who dominated Europe through

force and raw fighting skills.

A Persian immortal.

The precision killer in a massive war machine that forged the largest empire

Middle East has ever seen.

Who is deadliest?

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

weapons. Fire!

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.

Welcome to the Battle Zone.

We've brought together weapons experts, scientists, and doctors to test the

deadly arsenals of two groundbreaking Iron Age warriors, both conquering

killers, but who fought with opposing fighting styles.

A Celt, the battle -crazed ancestor of the Scottish and Irish clans who would

later fight the British for freedom.

But in the centuries before Christ, Dominated central Europe.

Versus a Persian immortal.

The elite special ops killer from what is now Iran.

Driving force of a professional army.

That built the largest empire of the ancient world.

It's an epic matchup of clashing battle tactics.

Pitting exotic east against primitive west.

Today's battle brings together two warriors from opposite ends of the

Mediterranean, the Celts from Europe and the Persian Immortals from the Near

East. For this classic one -on -one battle, computer whiz Max Geiger will

weapons test data gathered by lead scientist Jeff Day -Malin.

In this fight, a deadly new element is featured.

This is the first time we've seen chariots on this show. The added mass of

horses, the added velocity of the moving chariot makes wielding that weapon even

more effective.

The lethality of the injuries will be assessed by ER physician Armand Dorian.

Persian Immortals versus the Celts. I don't really care about the small

and scratches.

I'm looking at things that are going to stop someone's heart.

We're going to condense.

space and time itself, and bring these two warriors together to fight a

times within our simulator and determine who is the deadliest warrior.

Demonstrating the savage skills of his Celt ancestors, Francis Brebner.

Francis is a World Highland Games champion and a descendant of Scottish

clan, the Fighting Parkinson.

The Celts loved to fight. They just loved it. They were really tough people.

War was part of everyday life, the training, everything.

Also fighting for the Celts, William Spencer Deneen, a descendant of Irish

Celts and an expert on their weapon and combat method.

We have no rules of engagement, whatever we need to do to get the job done.

We thought of war as a sport. We're going to demolish the Persian Immortals.

As the first iron workers in Europe, the Celts ushered in the Iron Age.

This new technology helped them conquer much of Europe by 500 BC.

In 390 BC, Gallic Celts even sacked early Rome.

Like North America's native tribes, they weren't united by a single empire.

Instead, hundreds of Celtic clans settled across Europe, sharing a similar

language and a passion for conquering their enemy's land.

The Celtic warriors were known to fight naked, and there was nothing that was

going to stop them. Celts fought with a raging heart on.

You know, the look on was absolutely terrifying.

Very strong, very muscular.

They wore their hairs long and wild.

They were just total barbarians. Just crazy.

They wanted to show their enemy that they were crazy about killing them.

The Persian immortal experts believe their ancestors are deadlier.

The immortals are going to make mincemeat out of the kelp. A direct

of Persian nobility, Iranian -born Ardashir Ratpour, has 25 years

of experience with Persian archery and cavalry weapons.

The Persian Immortal were the special forces of the ancient world. They were

trained from the age of five to do nothing but kill and destroy other

Also descended from one of ancient Persia's most privileged clan, martial

Cyrus Sahiri, an expert on Persian weapons and warfare techniques.

The Persian immortals would completely annihilate the Celts. They received the

best instructions, the best armor, the best weapons, and the best training.

With its conquest of Babylon in 539 BC, Persia became the largest empire the

world had ever seen.

Under King Cyrus the Great, the Babylonians were crushed by the massive

army and its fleet of fierce chariots that would stampede and destroy any

resistance.

At the core of the colossal Persian army were the immortals, an elite force of

10 ,000 soldiers.

The Persian immortals were called immortals because they never left dead

on the battlefield, so their enemies actually never saw a dead immortal.

But also, more importantly, any time somebody did die, another warrior would

step up and fill that ring, so the number was always 10 ,000 strong.

So how would the Persian Empire's battle -hardened enforcer fare?

Against a wild -eyed rampaging Celt.

I'm going to go with the Persian Immortals on this one. They're more

disciplined. They're a more elite warrior.

Anybody with a nickname Immortal, how can I go against them?

I've got to give this one to the Celt Warrior.

They're larger in size. They're more agile.

These guys are nuts.

The Celts combine brute strength with a mastery of metalwork.

And their signature weapon could sever limbs with a single swipe.

The longsword.

Three brutal feet of razor -sharp iron.

The Celtic sword had a rounded point. It was great for cutting and slashing and

causing horrific damage.

The Celts would wield this round their head, cutting across to the opposite

of the knee and trying to hit all the major arteries in the process.

The preferred method of guaranteeing a longsword kill.

Decapitation.

They would collect the heads, hang them on their horses, chariots, in front of

their homes as a sign of victory.

And to possess a man's head is to possess a magical power.

Can the killed longsword really decapitate a human head?

So, Francis, what this is going to do is an inertial sensor.

It basically tells me where that sword is in three -dimensional space.

I can track your swing and get the speed in.

The target, a gel torso with the same consistency as human flesh and bone.

Francis, you ready?

Ready.

Three, two, one, go!

Oh, man.

Quite effective.

Francis, man, 78 miles an hour on that. Yeah. Wow.

There is a role for a doctor here, but here I'm a pathologist.

This is, without a doubt, the strongest swing I've seen. That is intense work.

It's a nice sword. It's a great swing. But that's a dummy. It's not moving

around. You're taking a two -handed swing. We have an answer for that sword.

This is an armored professional soldier.

That was just like butter, and I think it'll probably... Well, that may be

butter, but this is metal.

And the Celtic longsword cut through Persian armor made of laminated leather.

and overlapping scales of iron and bronze.

The TechScan pressure mat will measure the sword's impact.

Francis, you ready?

Yes. Three, two, one, go!

Oh, yeah!

Nothing, baby, nothing.

Oh, Francis, these arms are doing some work.

I got over 285 PSI. You're breaking at least one rib.

But that's still a quarter inch of leather he has to get through, and he

get through it. This guy is not dead, and that swing you had to take back,

you're dead. But your fatal flaw in your protection scheme is that you're not

protecting the most vital part of yourself, your neck and your head.

The scales are the toughest part of this armor. If this becomes a knock -down,

drag -out fight, this armor will not be able to take continued punishment.

And the Celt had another way to wreak devastation with a long sword.

A horse -drawn juggernaut.

That Celtic chariot.

Due to the extreme risk involved, the sword will be tested by its maker,

weapons blade master, Dave Baker.

I'll tell you, trying to judge the distance on a bouncing chariot, not very

to do.

Say hello to Pac -Man.

You can see the cut. It's going through the nose, probably through the zygoma,

the cheekbones, right under the eye socket.

And it cuts through into the brain. This is an instant kill.

This is horrible.

I don't think we've seen a cleaner cut with a weapon. But it's just never going

to happen. He and his chariot will never get that close to us. And if he does

get close, we will kill him before he can actually reach with that sword. That

is just...

to think it's never going to happen because we're coming for you. You can

You still got to reach me before I reach you. There's not much you can do with

your head hung and all.

Exactly. Coming up, the Persian Immortals strike back with a skull

vengeance.

Persian Immortal or Savage Pelt, who will be the deadliest warrior?

Inside our weapons lab, the battle is...

Ruin between a Persian immortal, the highly trained commander of the massive

Persian Empire, and a Celt, the predecessor of Irish and Scottish

clans, who fought with the rage of a psychopathic killer.

Bottom line, the Celtic warriors deliver fatal, deadly blows.

We're going for the insta -kill every time.

The Persian Immortals were the most disciplined soldiers of their day. All

did was eat, train, fight, sleep.

That's it. Fight on a daily basis.

When these two warriors face off, they'll each bring an arsenal of deadly

-8 weapons.

Our Persian Immortal brings the Blood Dead with his Segaris battle axe, spear,

bow and arrow, and chariot's scythe.

Our Kelp tabs back with a longsword.

Let's hear spear, fling, and bird a club.

Celt experts have already demonstrated the lethal power of their head -chopping

longsword. The Celt's longsword was impressive.

What makes this one different is it's wielded by a man who has arms the size

most people's legs.

But the Persian immortal experts think their wicked short -range weapon will

chop the biggest Celt down to size.

The Sigaris.

A badass battle act, with an armor -piercing tip on one side and a flesh

-cleaving blade on the other.

The way this weapon was designed was almost sort of like a pendulum. It gets

plenty of force just coming down, and it pierces through almost anything. It can

go through armor, and it will go inside their flesh.

So we've got our ballistic gel torso set up. That's going to be the kelch you

guys are up against. I want to see maximum damage. I want to see the full

capabilities of this weapon.

Cyrus, you ready?

I'm ready.

Three, two, one, go!

Oh,

man.

The beauty of this is it gets to the bottom.

hip portion of the heart. So if you make a hole there, the amount of pressure

squirting blood is pretty intense, and that is an instant kill. This is pretty

interesting, guys. The large intestine comes around like this and curves right

here and goes straight down. You will basically spill poopage in your belly.

It'll fungate, it'll grow, and you will die a septic death.

It's not an instant kill, but this is a really, let's say, way to go.

So the kilts, what do you have to counter against something like this?

You know, big leather belt that would cover all our internal organs. As well

our iron coolers, which is our helmet, and our iron rim shields as well. Okay,

well, I'm smelling another test here.

Kilt armor versus a cigar.

Some of the kelts fought nearly naked with just enough armor to ward off the

most lethal strikes.

But he didn't need much armor.

He wanted to be fast and agile.

All right, guys, we have an iron culisse. We have an iron shield and our

shield that can fall away, a little girdle over there, and a tin cap.

A pressure mat beneath the helmet will measure the force generated by a

strike. Anything over 81 PSI or penetration into that pressure mat is

a skull fracture.

Atta, sir, are you ready?

Ready. Test scan sensor armed. High speeds up and armed.

Three.

How's that for Celtic armor?

You pin the sensor. It maxes out at 323 PSI, so we can safely say this is a

skull fracture.

What's more important, this is going right into that frontal lobe, changing

guy's personality.

This is definite death. This is the hard way to do a lobotomy.

You can see the skull fracture here, guys. You can see it actually going

into the brain. Frontal lobe, kill. Let's look at the belt.

It goes through, but this is not a kill.

But the question here wasn't that. The question I think here was, would it go

through the belt? And it looks like it does go through the belt. Those hits

would have never even happened in the first place because your first load got

stuck in the belt. You gave about four to five seconds while you're struggling

to pull it out while you're squashing your head like a grape. Both of our

are confident of victory.

But which has the superior short -range weapon?

The Celtic longsword versus the immortal Segaris.

Both were very impressive, but when you really look at it, that Celtic

longsword, he was able to cause significant trauma on that ballistics

and then the icing on the cake was the way he was able to use it on the

In short -range weapons, the edge goes to the Celtic longsword.

But each of these warriors brings a special factor that can't be measured in

single stat.

For the Celt, his X -Factor is a willingness to do anything to gain a

psychological edge against his enemy.

From his ghastly, war -painted appearance to his blood -curdling battle

Hell was long and wild. You'd be screaming, roaring around the battle.

These people would go at you. They'd grapple you, wrestle you, strike you.

Kelch targeted any body part with an arc.

But the Persian are mortal.

Killer of the Spartan 300 at the famous Battle of Thermopylae brings his own egg

factor. An entire life devoted to war.

As the king's personal guard, they were treated like racehorses of their days.

They were given the best that anybody could ask for in the entire Persian

Empire.

Combat was choreographed from the first kill to the last drop of blood.

They would be given cadences via drums and trumpets, when to draw their bows.

when to draw their spears, when to draw their swords. Everything was a very well

-disciplined and well -rehearsed routine.

But will the Persians' precision combat skills be enough to stop a rampaging

count?

Coming up, both sides thrust their most piercing weapons.

Who will be the deadliest warrior?

A headhunting plant man from Europe.

A Persian immortal.

A highly trained soldier who conquered the Middle East.

Two Iron Age warriors destined for a deadly collision.

Celts, by their nature, are very large. And going up against a Persian immortal,

it would be like matching up a heavyweight with a lightweight.

Let's take a look at what the Celts really are.

They're not trained troops.

They're not a professional army like the Persian immortal.

Professional or not, Celts are coming at the Persians with all they've got,

including one nasty flesh ripper.

The lancea, a gut -shredding spear when thrust, is more lethal when thrown.

We've got a lancea. You'll notice the tip here, it's wavy. Excellent for

cutting, especially once it went in, more so when it come out.

Yeah, that's an interesting pattern. I mean, as these high portions are

making contact with the body, the low portions aren't. So it's presenting less

friction to the body, making your job easier.

Repairing something like this is a lot more difficult because the edges don't

match up real well. It's going to be a lot more apparent than just a straight

triangular type of blade.

Ted Solan says his ability to kill from a distance.

A peacock with a resistance similar to human flesh.

We've got two moving shields representing a Persian immortal defense

your target is actually in behind. That's the pig.

Are you ready to get going? Oh, I'm ready.

Let's fire it up.

Three,

two, one.

The glancing blow rips a savage wound in the target, but it's not

a kill. I don't think it's that big of a deal.

Guts on the floor, man.

I mean, this is ridiculously impressive.

You actually speared right through and probably could have hit a couple of more

pigs. When you transect the body like this, you're going to hit something

important and you're going to kill. I don't know. It looks like a pretty heavy

weapon. You'd have to be in real close and the guy's going to be running

He's going to be dodging. And Francis's hand looked like a toothpick. And you

throw it away.

You're going to need somebody to bring five lances for you. We're the masters

the Iron Age. We have so much at our disposal. You're only carrying one.

on the battlefield.

The lance's wicked blade does horrific damage.

But our Persian experts think they have a superior technique and a superior

weapon. The Persian spear.

A sinister skewer guaranteed to nail an enemy to the gates of hell.

The leaf -shaped spear, it's very thick, it's very broad.

The other side of it, It has a ball head on it. This can also be used as a

clubbing instrument.

So the spear can be swung around, crushing through helmets, armor, light

heavy shield. It's lethal.

Lethal in the hands of an immortal foot soldier.

It was also used in horse -drawn carrier assaults.

It's one thing to have a man on two feet thrusting into a body.

But now you've got two horses. It's obviously going to give you a lot more

and a lot more velocity with the moving horses. The kelp that's standing on the

ground is also going to be distracted by the horse, the chariot, not to get run

over, what's coming. So I'm going to be thinking only about him. He's going to

be thinking about roughly 1 ,500 to 2 ,000 pounds of trouble right here. Okay,

that's awesome.

We've got two targets set up. We'll be testing accuracy and damage. Let's go

kill some kelps.

Nice work.

Yeah, this is a perfect kill shot. This is a carotid artery. Internal and

external jugular veins are all lacerated here.

You bleed out from this pretty darn quick. 10, 15 seconds, he'll pass out,

the floor, and then he'll bleed to death.

The speed of that chariot coupled with the thrust was way higher than any

throwing spear, so this is way more damaging. And you hit him straight in

throat. The second target is in even worse shape. Right in the heart, man.

The Celt would have to be blind and deaf and armless with no weapons to inflict

a wound this bad.

Actions speak louder than words, gentlemen.

We're going to stick that right through your heart, baby.

And we don't lose our weapons.

We can just continue on that field, tiring you guys out enough to make you

scatter, and then we just pop, pop, pop, kick you guys off just like this.

We don't scatter, we charge. You're referring to warfare tactics that we

imply.

Dead accuracy there. Look at that. Oh, God.

Through his jaw, through his throat.

Look how lethal that is. Here's the second strike. Again, dead accuracy.

hitting straight to the heart. This is how to kill. This is what you want to

demonstrate with your weapon, accuracy and lethality, and you're doing it.

So which is the better killer?

The Celtic lancea thrown from a distance or a Persian spear thrust from a

charging chariot?

The Celtic lancea caused...

significant amount of trauma i mean the laceration was huge there would be a lot

of bleeding most likely would cause a kill but you're getting multiple uses

of that persian spear it's made so that you can stick and move stick and move

and using that off a chariot is even more impressive so i have to give it to

persian spear in mid -range weapons the immortal take the edge with a persian

spear the kelp still think they have enough muscle to beat back any persian

assault

Coming up, it's battlefield technology against brute force.

Persian Immortal versus Kilt.

Two deadly warriors with opposite fighting styles.

The Persian Immortals believe in order in combat.

If you have order, you work together, you fight together, and you can decimate

an enemy very easily.

The Kilt, they just command it with just chaos.

And you've got a screaming huge guy with long hair flying about, roaring, coming

at you, naked.

You're going to down tools, you're going to be on it, Charlie, and you're going

to be heading over that hill.

The Celts wreaked havoc with a deceptively primitive special weapon.

The Burda, a brain -splattering bludgeon, tailor -made for the muscular

The burda is made out of ash wood, fire -hardened, and sealed with beeswax to

give it optimal strength.

It's two different sizes on each end, one wrapped in two plates of iron.

That'll do it.

Gentlemen, welcome to Sleepy Hollow.

So we understand that heads hold a special cultural significance to the

So we've rigged up seven targets for you to strike with this special weapon.

I will please blow.

Fatal. Smash some heads, Francis.

How much brute force can a Celt unleash with a birder?

Francis, you ready?

Yes!

Francis, man. What are you even going to do? What do you have to assess?

You know, there's not much, but at least this is a little bit of childhood fun

here. Okay, there's no faith left here. Dude, you are a faith wrecker. Faith

annihilator. All of them, gone.

I think you splattered blood like 50 feet.

Max, you're like, what, 20 feet out and you got blood on your face. Oh, no, man.

The only thing that would slow me down was the blood on the floor.

That was 8 .5 seconds.

It only takes 12 PSI to pop an eyeball, about 81 PSI to fracture a skull.

I'm looking at over 273 PSI from that thing.

Looks like an Irish pub, and you're sending your friends home. That's pretty

cool, but it just looks like a bar fight, and that's a pretty little tool.

You've got to get that to the soldier. That was one of the killed specialty,

hand -to -hand combat. I think that would have worked on your own kind, but

the Persian immortal.

And you've seen the damage.

You can't argue with it. As far as the Sim's concerned, this is an apocalypse

you can hold in your hand.

It's a little weapon, and we got something to answer that.

The Persian answer to that guilty club is not handheld.

The chariot's side.

A horsepower leg severing metal blade.

This is a side.

It goes on a Persian war chariot. This is made specifically to kill, maim,

destroy anything in front of it. It spins with the wheels. You have four

coming down. They're serrated. It just cuts through anything that's in front of

it. This is interesting to me. Are you just going to clear the side? Are you

going to try to mount one of the horses? Are you going to jump back onto the

chariot and take out the guy? What's the technique here? We have no rules in

engagement. Moment to moment in the battle, whether it was high or low, they

would choose to either duck or jump or just get a big piece of timber or a

boulder and kind of put it in the way of that, which would send them and their

horses flying.

I don't know, guys.

Looks like a human -sized blender to me.

Regardless of the blade, you know, a chariot at speed is like being hit by a

moving car.

And you know what? That's a calculation we can make, and I'll do it.

We have a row of pigs here. We're going to see if this size will go through the

legs of a human being. So let's see. I'm kind of excited about this. I'm getting

my surgical gloves on to see what I can save here, but I don't think there's

going to be much to save.

Let's get this test started.

Chariot, attack!

Oh, you got it up to 47.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Those are two dead kelp. Oh, my God.

Okay, so we're actually seeing a nice laceration here.

This is the iliac crest of the pelvic bone, the top of the pelvis. It's going

through the skin, it's getting muscle, but it's not hitting anything vital on

this. Charlie, at the speed it was going, the kill would have probably

over and jumped into Charlie.

According to the numbers, roughly equivalent to getting hit by a compact

going around 15 miles an hour.

Definitely this is something you want to get out of the way, but is it by itself

a kill?

With what I'm seeing here, I can't definitively say the trauma is very

And according to the numbers, a compact car at 15 miles an hour is not a lethal

blow either.

My man right here is a compact car.

We could run him practically at that same speed, and we can get the same

with that riding a chariot.

The murder club and the chariot side come from opposite ends of a blood

-spattered spectrum.

But which special weapon is deadlier?

I have to give the edge to the Burda. As crazy as it sounds, it's a simple

weapon. Simple weapons keep your options open.

The side, I think, requires too much tricky horsemanship in order to maneuver

properly on the battlefield.

I think it's more for show than it is for go.

In special weapons, the Celt gets the edge for the Burda Club.

But this fight is far from over.

Coming up, both sides unload their long -range ammo.

Celt or Persian immortal?

Who will be the deadliest warrior?

In a face -off between a Celt and a Persian immortal, one question remains

answered. Who deals the most death from a distance?

Our Persian experts claim the immortals were absolute masters of long -range

warfare. The Persian immortals were famous.

for blanketing their enemies in arrows. They basically would take out a good

portion of their enemy before the fight would even begin.

The bow and arrow, the immortal's projectile weapon that rained death on

enemy. Persians would use a composite recurve bow.

The bow is made of horn on the belly. It's going to have sinew on the back,

which gives it its strength. It's got these limbs that cause a lever action,

it whips the arrow forward. It gives it even more speed. It goes fast.

The arrowheads were specially designed to rain death from above.

This would be a standard -style arrow tip that infantry would use.

In long range, you will have a heavy leaf shape. The weight of the arrow is

going to come down.

and bring weight with it as it comes down. You're going to let gravity do a

of the work.

Gravity's going to do a lot of that work.

Immortal archers practiced a spray -and -fray method.

Firing so many arrows, some were sure to kill.

But would this weapon be effective in a one -on -one battle?

If you guys look back, we actually have pigskin on top of those hay targets. It

actually lets us know if you're going to be killing a person with these arrows.

Because if you can get through that pigskin, which has epidermis, dermis,

soft tissue, you'd be hitting vital structures.

That way we'll know you're not just hitting a random hay target. You're

going to be able to kill a person with your shot.

Targets are set up at intervals ranging from 50 to 200 yards.

Arashar, are you ready? Ready.

Fire! 50.

Yeah!

100.

Good job, buddy.

50.

Dead kelp.

200.

The Persian arrow has great range, but it's not as precise at long distances.

But at shorter ones, can it strike down a massive kelp?

Here's the important part.

If you look at the thickness of the skin, it's the epidermis, the dermis,

then the soft tissue.

And easily it's going through whenever it does hit the right target.

So there's no question that the arrow does its job. It's just a question of

accuracy. But on this target, it looks like he definitely did your mark.

Yeah. You know, only a few would have probably hit the target they were aiming

for, you know.

This would have basically been a flesh wound to kill. You know, he would have

just pulled it out, knocked it over his knee.

You know, I'm just throwing it away.

And then once we got to you, I'll use it as a toothpick after I'm done eating

your babies.

Our pelts have the stones to stay in this fight.

And they know how to throw them with terminal velocity.

The sling.

A rugged rock chucker to blindside the fiercest of enemies.

It is lightweight. It's constructed of leather and braided cord. With a rock,

can create enough momentum that can easily fracture a skull.

You're bringing a bunch of rock and your G -string to combat?

Infinite ammo. All it takes is one strike with one of these rocks at full

and you're dead.

So we've rigged up a bunch of bones for you to try and hit here to test its

hitting power. If you can hit a bone, you can break a bone. If you can hit a

skull, you can kill a man. If you crush a man's skull, it's a kill shot.

Spencer will have five stones to prove that Sling is deadly.

Three, two, one, go!

Yeah! Nice trick, Spencer!

Yeah, Spencer!

Oh.

Oh, nice trick, Spencer!

Yeah!

Okay, let the doctor handle the bones here.

As you can see, this is a long bone that's been fractured. That's

incapacitating, but not a killer.

This is pretty painful. This is actually a mandibular fracture.

But here's the most important finding that we see. It's a depressed skull

fracture.

Depressed skull fracture, this means that the bone is sticking inward. When

bone is sticking inward, the chance of a bleed inside the brain is extremely

high. How long does that take?

Five to ten hours, perhaps.

Yeah, I mean, we see boxers with this type of injury who actually win the

But then they die.

So this does not mean he could not win the battle.

It just means that he will be dead at some point that day.

Celtic slain male to get an instant kill.

And the immortal experts are unimpressed.

We're talking about arrows piercing you guys. You're throwing rocks. At the end

of the day, it's a rock. We're going to see broken bones. Every six seconds, we

can put an arrow into you. It's a weapon we're aiming.

Strike to the head. You're finished.

It's just a rock.

That's all it is. Just a rock.

So which long -range weapon proved superior?

A sling is something I would never want to be hit by, but we're talking about

the deadliest warriors of all time. The Celtic sling can cause some trauma. It's

not deadly. The Persian bow and arrow is deadly. I got to go with the Persian

bow and arrow. With its longer range and superior killing power, the Persian bow

gets the edge.

Our experts have completed their test.

and finally differ on which warrior has the advantage in the final battle.

After all these tests, I'm still sticking with the Celts. I'm a little

that they're not wearing a lot of armor, but they make up for it in size,

agility, and killing power.

I still feel like the Persian Immortals are going to win. I think they bring a

more complete game. They're proving to me again that they are the more elite

fighter with the better weapon.

I'm betting the Persian Immortals are going to win this battle.

Coming up.

Celt, Persian Immortal, the battle begins.

The Celt and the Persian Immortals have finished the test of their most lethal

weapon.

Time to find out who is the deadliest warrior.

Our experts tested four weapons from each warrior's lethal arsenal.

And special weapons.

The Celt vicious murder club was pitted against the Persian flesh -ripping

chariot side.

The chariot side, I mean, we've seen movies where it lops off people's legs,

they're cut in half, and unfortunately, even though it was really powerful, it

didn't measure up to what my expectation was. The murder went beyond my

expectation.

Edge Celt, a winged weapon. The team tested a Celt sling against the Persian

immortal. Bow and arrow.

This bow and arrow with that iron tip, it had killing potential and a lot more

accuracy than I saw with the sling.

Persian immortal at medium range.

The Kelch Lancea went up against the Persian immortal spear.

I got to give this one to the Persian spear.

The leaf -shaped tip of that makes it perfect for only giving a shallow wound.

That's a kill you can use multiple times.

Edge Persian Immortal. At short range, we tested the Celtic longsword against

the Persian Segaris battleaxe.

I think Celtic iron really holds up to its reputation, and combined with the

additional power, speed, and momentum of using that weapon from Chariot, I think

there's no stopping the Celtic longsword.

Edge Celt.

Max now loads the results into Slytherin Studios' battle simulation program.

To prevent the battle from being won by a single lucky blow, he will run the fib

1 ,000 times.

Sucker's locked and loaded, so let's fire it up.

After a thousand battles, our Persian Immortals emerged victorious with 689

kills compared to the Celts' 311.

All of the Immortals' weapons posted triple -digit kills, whereas the only

really good tools in the Celts' toolbox were the lancea and the longsword.

And because of that, I think we saw here that the professional elite fighter

triumphs over the barbarians.

What surprises me about the outcome of this battle is not the fact that the

Persians won.

It's the magnitude at which they won.

It's no surprise to me. I knew the Persian immortal was going to win.

There's a reason why the Persian empire conquered the known world at that time,

and it was the Persian immortal.

It's the biggest matchup yet as the Cold War is revived in the ultimate battle

of spy versus spy.

James Bond weapons that we've never experienced before. As Soviet Russia's

battles the CIA.

The Soviets acquiring the atomic weapon was a significant wake -up call. An all

-new Deadliest Warrior, next Tuesday at 10 on Spike.
