Ming warriors, the merciless 14th century weapons innovators who launched

China's greatest dynasty.

Musketeers, the king's ruthless personal guard, and fierce defenders of France's

borders.

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.

Welcome to the battle zone.

Here,

a team of scientists, trauma doctors, and weapons experts.

will test their deadly arsenal of true early masters of black powder weapons.

The Ming warriors, military masters from the late Middle Ages, whose martial

arts skills and innovative weaponry launched China's greatest empire, the

Dynasty, versus the French musketeers, 17th century special forces,

and battle -hardened killers.

who pioneered that gut -busting firearm that inspired their name.

Lead biomedical scientist Jeff Damelin will supervise the weapons testing. I

love this matchup. We've got black powder weapons, we've got blades. I've

bring all my tools to the table.

ER physician Armand Dorian will examine the gruesome injuries to evaluate their

deadliness. The Musketeers are legendary, and the Ming Warriors, they

an unbelievable empire. And I'm going to be very interested in seeing how they

match up against the Musketeers.

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

a simulation program, generating a five -on -five squad battle.

Now, these warriors are interesting because they fit in that area in history

when gunpowder was beginning to rise prominently.

The simulator will generate a blow -by -blow battle to the death.

The winner will be the deadliest warrior.

The musketeers' weapons will be brandished by French native Xavier

Xavier served in the French Foreign Legion and is a specialist in sword

fighting. So everybody was afraid of the musketeers. They were the elite

bodyguard of the King of France.

Also fighting for the Musketeers, Luke LaFontaine.

Luke is a French combat historian and master swordsman. Musketeers fought 24

hours a day. You developed your reputation on how many men you killed.

Musketeers were formed in 1622, when the American colonies were just being

established.

A select company of only 200 men.

They were armed with the best weapons of their day by King Louis XIII and led

French armies against persistent invaders.

Europe was full of very strong armies. They wanted to conquer France. So

continuously we have to fight.

to make them leave. We fought the British, we fought the Spanish, we

Belgian, the Swiss, we're the top fighters in Europe.

The musketeers were the special forces of the 17th century. The specialized

units were key in developing the borders of modern -day France.

The most powerful armies in Europe couldn't stop the musketeers, so aha,

Ming warriors are going to do that.

Our musketeer team is confident, but they're facing equally certain

Experts on the Ming warrior.

A specialist on Chinese classical weapons.

Beijing native Jonathan Vizhong Wang.

A world champion in advanced Tai Chi and Kung Fu.

The musketeers have no comparison to the Ming. They will kill all the musketeers

without any mercy.

A top competitor in the Chinese martial art of Wushu.

Philip Dang.

He's a specialist in Chinese spears and swords.

At the peak of the Ming Dynasty, they controlled territory 12 times the size

France. The small mucketeer army is not going to be able to take out such a

disciplined and skilled army such as the Ming.

In the late 1300s, the Ming Dynasty overthrew the mighty Yuan Dynasty

Genghis Khan.

They built many of China's most lasting landmarks. including the Great War.

Over their 300 -year reign, they also raised a powerful navy and a million

army.

The Ming army was huge.

It reached from 1 .2 million to 3 million. Once the Ming conquered

a country, they would kill all the military personnel and cut off their

The more ears you collect, the better fighter you are.

It's a brutal battle between the East and the West.

My predestined prediction goes to the Musketeer. I think they bring all the

aspects of the game. They come from nobility, have a lot of finance, they

the best weapons, and finally they're able to bring gunpowder to a point where

it's actually very accurate and useful.

For a Ming warrior, we see some of the earliest innovations in using gunpowder,

and I think that sort of innovation will favor the Ming warrior.

The Ming kick off the showdown with a groundbreaking weapon that combined the

Chinese invention of gunpowder with long -range killing power.

The Nest of Bees rocket battery.

32 flying arrows of death in a single shot.

This here is the Nest of Bees.

Oh, nice.

It's kind of like a bottle rocket, except a lot, lot larger, a lot

It's pretty much the first rocket used.

Ever in warfare, how did Ming weapons engineers become rocket fighters?

Ming Dynasty warriors spent centuries of time to develop and perfect this weapon

of mass destruction.

The Ming wrapped gunpowder in paper, which was then bound to an arrow.

A fuse made it deadly.

The rocket engine will explode, and this baby is going to fly 100 to 500 yards

far.

Determine how fast these rockets will fly.

A single arrow will be fired at a target 200 feet downrange.

What I'm trying to do here is capture the Rockefeller arrow passing this. And

what I can get with a known frame rate on the high speed and a known distance

the frame, I can get the velocity at the point of impact.

On target. Ready to go.

That was beautiful.

It was a little high, actually.

227 miles per hour. That's almost double the speed of a traditional bow and

arrow. So putting a rocket on an arrow works as far as speed is concerned.

But I have to admit, you sacrificed accuracy.

Are you worried about that?

We got 32 of those killers at once.

Let's do a full test on the net.

Take a look over there. A battalion of men with one commander on horseback.

That's your primary target.

You ready to get started? Yeah.

Fire it up.

There's absolutely no question. You have a nest of bees flying at you, three,

two of these, rocket -propelled arrows coming at you. It's going to be

absolutely terrifying.

These guys are unscathed, though, huh? Yeah, yeah. It's like he's untouched.

And the primary target, too, seems to be unscathed. I mean, this is pretty

impressive. It's hitting exactly, randomly, but exactly where you want to

kill. Right in the left chest, right where that heart is.

Take a look how deep this is.

That. Pretty deep. That's just about right where that rocket was.

That is enough to hit the heart and kill. Let's look back here. Look at

Dead center chest.

Again, I mean, it's like either a complete miss or a kill.

So the random aspect of this is very apparent.

Out of the 32 arrows, six hit targets.

Three of them kill shots.

So what do we got here? We got 17 guys.

Six hits. I think the thing here is that unpredictable isn't a synonym for

dangerous. It's a synonym for unreliable. Next time Louis XIII needs a

celebration and wants fireworks, we'll call these guys. That's a good weapon

that. You think that's a joke? Hit six men.

Couple them in the face. You're talking about musketeers. That's not going to

impress us. Yeah, it doesn't impress you until you get one stuck in your face.

Coming up, the musketeers take aim with their signature weapon.

Ming. Or musketeer?

Who will be that deadliest warrior?

Back in the fight club.

It's East versus West.

The ingenious Chinese warriors from the Ming army against France's highly

trained and deadly fighting force.

French musketeers lived on the edge. The more people you killed, you shot up in

the ranks.

The musketeers were the elite French military of their time. So don't let

clothes fool you. There's a lot of lace, a lot of velvet, and feathers in your

hats. You think rock stars get a lot of women? You have no idea the musketeers'

reputation for pulling in the ladies and being badasses.

Everyone walking down the street was carrying four feet of steel.

They were itching to use that steel to prove themselves as a man.

Over a 180 -year period, 40 ,000 French nobles were lost in private duels.

A lot of that was caused by musketeers killing other guys.

But our Ming experts believe their warriors are deadlier.

The Ming warriors were physically stronger.

They had better weapons.

And they had the military training needed to take out any enemy they faced.

The Ming soldiers were very innovative and very creative. They have hundreds of

weapons. And also they have poisonous gas heated inside of grenades.

No one's seen that before.

The enemies did not expect that. The Ming mentality was kind of like

warfare. The enemy would get taken down slowly.

The Ming warriors launch into battle with the Nest of Bees rocket battery,

mechanical landmine, the three -barrel pole gun, and the Dao sword.

The musketeers retaliate with their own killer cash.

The blintlock musket, the grenade, the wheelock pistol, and the rapier sword

and main ghost dagger.

The Ming's long -range weapon, the Nest of Bees, was deadly.

but not completely accurate.

The musketeers feel they have a weapon that is far deadlier.

The early flintlock mechanism musket was the highest development of the musket

at that time. The musket.

A bone -shattering blaster that punches huge caliber holes into its victims.

What you have here is an early 17th century musket, but the flintlock

is what makes it state of the art.

You could get about three shots in a minute with this musket. It's a 75

bore musket. 75 -caliber? Yeah. That's the largest we've seen on this show yet.

Champ will use a chronometer to measure the speed of the musket's bullet.

Three, two, one, fire!

625 feet per second, Mac.

That's about a quarter speed of modern firearms. But well done, man.

At 426 miles per hour, the musket is almost twice as fast as the Nest of Bees

arrow.

To test the lethality and accuracy of the musket, a ballistics gel torso is

up at 50 feet.

Luke will have one minute to inflict as much damage as possible.

I want to see two rounds in the chest, one to the head.

Are you ready?

Ready! Eyes and ears, boys.

On three, two...

One! Fire!

Oh!

Nice. A damaged shot, but it takes Luke 15 to 20 seconds to reload his muscles.

Second shot!

Third shot! This is the head shot!

Oh! Yeah!

Okay, so let's take a look at actual trauma here. First shot, almost dead

in the chest, and this is a kill shot in and of itself because of location.

You're hitting the superior vena cava, the biggest vessel that comes down,

basically rupturing that, and if you look at the back, coming out the

and you have a beautifully lit track here of the blood as the bullet comes

Okay, let's take a look at the placement of the second one. This thing is going

to bleed inside that chest cavity, and it's going to be a kill, but it's going

to be a delayed kill. We're talking minutes to perhaps hours.

With the third and final shot, you hit the cheekbone, the zygoma here. You

fracture that.

It's not an instant kill, but having said that, there's a very good chance

inside that brain there's going to be a hemorrhage, a bleed, and he's going to

die from that.

Look, it took one minute to get three shots off. One of them is actually...

A definite kill. The other two, a maybe kill. And it's a single standing target.

You see the accuracy of this weapon. You see the damage that it does.

Our net to beat is 32 shots.

Even just a small percentage of those that hits you, you're gone.

Boom. Bottom line, after your little musketeer starts reloading for his

shot, he's going to have a Ming warrior right in his face ready to kill him.

Our specialty is close quarters combat.

So the closer you are, bring it on.

Invented in France.

The bayonet was first used by the musketeers for close quarters combat and

accounted for a third of all casualties on the battlefield.

Our experts disagree on which of these black powder weapons is deadlier.

The Nesta B, 500 yards.

It got six hits.

Most of those were killed.

A lot of firepower behind that. The musket was accurate, but its accuracy

I guarantee you, die out after 80 feet. So I got to go with the weapon that was

actually truly a long -range weapon. I got to give it to the Nesta B.

You know, in an army -on -army fight, if you had an entire battalion of guys

carrying these and using them against your enemy, that could do something, but

third of the time isn't enough of a bite.

You know, I tend to agree, Max. Even though it was limited and compared to

nest of bees, the musket does have quite a long range.

And it does the damage when it hits. I'm giving my edge to the musket.

For long -range weapons, the edge goes to the French musketeers for the musket.

Coming up, our experts face off in an explosive battle.

Back at the Fight Club, a savage showdown is

pitting the East against the West to see who is the deadliest warrior.

French Musketeers.

The select corps of noblemen who took on the country's most hazardous military

missions.

Or the Ming warriors.

Brutal Chinese soldiers whose military might established a dynasty that stood

undefeated for three centuries.

The Ming bring an X -Factor to this fight. A deep grounding in martial arts.

The Ming excelled in two schools of Kung Fu.

Speedy and powerful Shaolin.

and a more flowing and agile wudang.

The Ming knew how to be combative with hands. They knew how to kick. They knew

how to take down. Basically, it's military training, so it's very

hard on the body, so they were very tough.

The Ming are going to have an obvious advantage in combative attack and

technique. The musketeers have their own X -Factor, a royal bloodline.

The musketeers at Maison du Roy were royalty.

In order to get in, you had to have some form of noble line in your family.

You're talking about someone who's already had years of personal

lessons and swordsmanship lessons because that was what the nobility did.

Ming believed they have a black powder invention that could blow away a small

army of nobility.

The Mechanical Landmine, an underground network of bombs.

Hopped with a weapons treasure trove to attract enemy.

Translated, this weapon means underground sky -soaring thunder.

This is a booby trap landmine. It's one of the earliest ever used in warfare.

On top of the hill will be treasures that bait and draw the enemy in.

So in this case, a weapons cache.

Exactly.

Attached to the bait.

The lid of a pot containing smoldering charcoal.

When the lid was raised, a lever would drop a fuse to the embers, igniting it.

The fuse was connected to other pots filled with gunpowder.

When the enemy took the bait... Underneath this mound here, you'll have

channels with black powder going to dozens of these pots.

So one trigger, but a whole network of landmines. Exactly.

The frag is actually the clay pots.

When those explode, anyone standing within about a 15, 20 -foot radius is

basically destroyed.

Philip demonstrates the landmine's trigger mechanism.

Oh, baby.

Test its lethality.

Jeff sets up four musketeer targets wearing shock patches to measure the

I see some shock patches. Oh, we got a kill, number one.

Okay, look, man, there's body parts all over the place. I mean, you've got arms

dismembered. This guy's body is cut in half.

Look at this.

classic landmine injury, missing leg, and from the shock patch, kills

well. Double dead, this guy.

I mean, arms are strewn. Look at the blood pattern all over him.

There's nothing left of this guy.

Oh, dude.

Besides blood and guts.

This could be a game changer.

Four kills on this one.

But the French musketeers have an explosive they believe is even more

The Grenade.

A cast -iron bomb filled with projectiles of death.

The musketeers stuffed these grenades with sharp nails and gunpowder. So

100 musketeers with 100 grenades, throwing at the enemies. Big,

blow.

Sweet. Well, I think we've got the perfect scenario to test this weapon.

Xavier, back here.

We've got our French fork.

Over here.

We've got our four Ming warriors, okay? They're attacking the fort. I think we

want to see some fireworks.

Shock patches will measure the bomb.

Deadly blast.

I have a feeling this one's going to be a big one.

Xavier, get in here, man.

We're on. Get suited.

Check that out.

Hey, mind your feet.

Wow. He was almost cut in two.

We're seeing, again, all forms of injury here from this type of high explosive.

His leg is completely off. His chest is caved in. I mean, this is just utter

annihilation of a human being. Let's check out this guy over here.

I see our 100G shock patch is tripped. That's a kill. What about the frag, Doc?

I'm not seeing any frag on the legs.

He's got blood, but it might be from the guy over there.

He looks mostly intact.

Yeah. Remember, he's got the trip on the shockwave, but he was thrown. And with

that throw, he could hit his head, crack a pelvis, other ways of dying.

Okay, look at this. This is our 37G shock patch, okay? That's roughly

to getting into a 30 miles per hour car accident, and it's not tripped. He's

remained standing, but is there a frag in him?

Unscathed on all accounts. He has no shrapnel. He wasn't thrown to the

don't see any burn marks on him. And if you thought this guy was lucky, let's

take a look at this guy. Yeah. His shock patch isn't tripped either. He just has

blood spatter from his other two friends, and it makes sense if you look

this. positioning compared to the other two guys. The entire pressure wave went

that way instead of this way. Overall, four guys here, two killed, two walk

away. Two walk away.

So which explosive is more effective?

While the grenade is a very mobile weapon, it just doesn't pack the same

as a mechanical landmine. Once that landmine is triggered, there's no

that it's capable of doing massive damage and doing it very well.

Special weapons, the edge goes to the Ming warrior for the mechanical

Coming up, the French musketeers aim to kill, while the Ming warriors go for

that triple threat.

Yeah!

We're one step closer to an all -out deathmatch between two military legends,

the French musketeers and Chinese Ming warriors.

The Ming experts believe their disciplined warriors will win this

Soldiers who deserted had their feet chopped off.

Battalions who failed to do their job would basically get cut and get left

to die.

The musketeer experts believe that their royal guard will easily defeat their

Chinese opponent.

France at the time had a lot of money, so everything they had was the top. The

blade, the gun, so they're ready to kill.

And one of their best weapons for killing was a powerful and revolutionary

sidearm.

The wheel lock pistol.

Guns so intricate, it could only be produced by the skilled hands of

watchmaking.

A wheel lock pistol.

Very powerful, very expensive weapon.

The wheel lock was the first self -igniting firearm.

Gunpowder and a bullet are loaded in the barrel.

Additional gunpowder is placed into a flat pan.

A key turns the spring -loaded grooved wheel mechanism, creating tension.

A metal arm with iron pyrite at the end is placed on top of the wheel.

When the trigger is pulled, the tension is released, spinning the wheel against

the pyrite.

This part ignites the gunpowder that fires the gun.

It works like a modern -day pocket lighter.

That's exactly what he wants.

But the Ming have a triple threat.

The three -barrel pole gun.

The world's first semi -automatic slaughterer.

This is a weapon of mass destruction.

And also, it can shot continuously.

So it's very effective in the combat.

Revolutionary Ming design had three separate chambers.

Each could be loaded with a round bullet, then individually triggered.

To see how these pioneering weapons match up in a head -to -head pair, Jeff

up two armor -clad mannequins.

Jonathan, you'll be using your weapon to get through this traditional

musketeer's iron plate chest armor?

Yes. I have to tell you, man, we've never seen chest armor like this with a

wedge on it. There's going to be a lot of deflection power here.

It's going to take a lot to get through it.

And Xavier, you'll be using your wheel lock pistols to try to get through this

traditional Ming Dynasty leather armor with steel studs. I'm going to start you

20 feet back. You'll get three shots each.

Ready to get this started?

Yes, sir. Let's do it.

Xavier, you ready?

Ready. On three, two, one, fire!

Xavier reloads his wheel lock pistol at 20 second process.

Misfire.

Yeah!

Both ones clean through.

Xavier, this is your third and final shot.

Fire at will.

Misfire again.

Yeah!

When it fires, it's a big boom, and it goes through that armor like nothing.

Can the Ming's black powder weapon do any better?

Jonathan loads all three barrels of the pole gun.

Jonathan, you ready? Ready!

Three, two, one, fire!

Yeah! That's wicked!

Second shot!

Third and final shot!

Woo! Both warriors' weapons hit their targets.

But which one was more effective?

Well, first thing I want to talk about is the first shot. That's this one here.

I'm not seeing any penetration or any injury. This is a very heavy armor. He

will be very slow. And he is not going to be protected, his whole body.

Well, let's check it out. Well, that's what brings us to the second shot.

Actually, if you look at his collar, just above the armor plate.

Yep.

That is a perfectly placed shot. I mean, you're going right through the trachea.

The windpipe, this is a kill instantly. And you see it coming out the back.

That is perfect, but it's demonstrating exactly what we were worried about. This

armor protects, but once you can deliver it anywhere he's not protected, it's a

kill. But where did that third shot go?

You know, Jeff, the third shot's right here. It's actually going right through

his arm here.

basically fracturing right up here. It's going to shatter both the bones along

his forearm, probably get his elbow, and you see it coming out the back end as

well. It's a lucky shot.

No. The rules were to shoot in the armor. No. You shoot the head. You're

absolutely right, and let's go check yours out.

Oh.

fist -sized grouping with that thing. I can't believe it. I'll tell you, most

important is, besides, as Jeff said, the grouping, it's dead center of the body,

exactly where you want to hit. It's right where that big blood vessel aorta

comes down. You smack that, it's an instant kill. And look at this. Right

through the thickest part of this armor, double layer, plus through a rivet.

I was aiming for that.

Yeah, right.

Three instant kills. And playing by the rules. Et voila.

Well, I also remember misfire.

Oh!

Despite the misfires, in the sim, these are three instant kills through the

enemy's armor.

Armor on the Musketeer, on the other hand, covers a large portion of his

surface area, and you need to have some very lucky or some very accurate shots.

And the test was, weapon for weapon, did it get through your opponent's armor?

Yes, in this case.

No, in Jonathan's case. Sorry, man.

When the three -barrel pull gun wasn't able to punch...

through that breastplate means our Ming warrior is at a disadvantage right out

of the gate. Edge, wheel lock pistol.

The mid -range weapons.

The edge goes to the French musketeers for the wheel lock pistol.

Coming up, the Ming slash back with their favorite post -range weapon.

Who will be the deadliest warrior?

Ming warrior or French musketeer?

In a head -to -head battle between these killer soldiers, who would win?

The Musketeer's blade of choice was a razor -sharp steel sword paired with an

equally piercing dagger.

The rapier and main gauche.

Designed to stab and thrust with deadly results.

I'd like to introduce you to the early 17th century rapier.

It takes nothing for me to be able to deliver over three and a half feet of

steel to someone. The other thing that you have here is what's called the main

gauche, or parrying dagger.

This was used on suite with the rapier, and you used the rapier mainly and only

for the attack.

And this would catch your opponent's blade, sharp twist of the wrist, and you

could snap off four to six inches of the tip of your opponent's rapier.

Awesome.

All right, so we're going to have you striking against a target, which is?

About as lifelike as they come. And we want to see how long it takes to get

lethal strikes against this target.

Yeah, because this is primarily a thrusting weapon, I'm going to strap on

-Link three -dimensional accelerometer. We'll be able to get the thrusting

impact velocity and compare that across all the thrusting weapons we've seen.

Luke, are you ready? I'm ready!

I think this belongs to you, sir.

Merci beaucoup.

Okay, so we've got two deadly blows right here in both eyes. You basically

this eyeball in half. You went through the skull, hit the head. That's a kill.

The next strike, we go right to the neck. This is a classic way of cutting

the jugulars as well as the carotid. It's a beautiful strike.

Death strike number two.

Here, you went straight through the heart.

That's another kill. That's three.

And then when we look here, this is the disembowel move you wanted to do. You

actually went straight through.

which is again a kill. And that's four. And I guess for your fifth one, you came

right back up and you took out the other eye. So that's five ways to kill a

person.

Ming Warriors, what do you guys think?

I think I could do several different strikes in continuous motion.

Instead of one, pull back, reset, again.

There's no one, pull back. It's one, one, one, one. Five times.

As far as the thrusting speed...

5 .9 feet per second, which is roughly 4 miles per hour. Now, I'm guessing

you're sacrificing speed for accuracy, correct?

Yes. With our weapon, we're not going to have to sacrifice that much speed.

The main warrior's bladed weapon, it has slicer and dicer with incredibly

versatile killing power.

The Ming Dao sword, serving a perfectly severed body part.

The Dao is a single -bladed sword. It's sharp on the...

top third of the blade, but the bottom part right here is dull. So you can use

hand motions here to actually drill into the opponent and use both harm

strength, then tear apart.

So you're claiming versatility and robustness as opposed to a weapon that

commit to thrusting. Exactly. It's just a savage weapon.

The musketeers will be chopped up.

To measure the damage of the blade on actual flesh and bone, two peaks are

at human height.

Philip, you ready?

Ready. High speed's up and armed.

Accelerometer's streaming.

Three, two, one.

Cut him off.

Yo.

Fill it, man. Nice job.

I actually ran the numbers on that initial thrust, and you know what? You

actually. faster than the rapier coming in. They had about 4 miles per hour. You

had about 4 .9 miles per hour. And where did you place that first thrust? Right

midline, where all the vital organs are going to be and the penetration you got.

That would have hit the aorta.

And that is ridiculous. That's a lot of power in that blade.

The thrust was comparable to the rapier, but it also has that slashing

capability. The proof is in the pig.

It took 16 seconds for the musketeers to achieve their five kill shots.

The Ming only took seven seconds.

I got to say, I'd rather stick with my rapier. It's a really, really good

cutter. Remember also, I've got two weapons, not one.

Even with the other dagger, you still only have a thrusting capability.

I'd rather have my Ming Dao any day.

What do our experts think is the best weapon? The Ming Dao is absolutely

devastating with both a thrust and a slash.

That gives you options in the battlefield.

When you've got options, it gives you the edge.

For close -range weapons, the edge goes to the Ming warrior for the Dao sword.

With the testing complete, only one question remains in this battle to the

death.

I think this is the Musketeers' fight to lose.

The weapons that they're using seem a lot more advanced than the weapons that

the Ming warrior is using.

I came into this thinking the Musketeers were going to have it hands down.

But those Ming's much more deadly than I've ever thought possible. I'm giving

edge to the Ming.

Coming up, Ming warrior, French musketeer. The battle begins.

The Chinese Ming warrior against the French musketeer.

Both black powder innovators.

But who is deadliest?

Our experts ran a series of tests on the sophisticated soldier's most lethal

weapon.

The long -range weapon, the Ming's Nest of Bees rocket battery, went up against

the Musketeer's musket.

The Nest of Bees is capable of doing horrific damage. It's not the most

weapon. Now, the musket is able to deliver a lot of damage, but deliver it

accurately. My edge goes to the musket.

Edge, French Musketeer.

Special weapons. We pitted the Ming's mechanical landmine against the

musketeer's grenade.

That network of landmines, are you joking me? And the amount of shrapnel

black powder they were able to pack into that?

I gotta give it the edge.

Edge? Ming Warrior.

A mid -range weapon.

The Ming's three -barrel pole gun.

Shot it out against the Musketeer's wheel -lock pistol.

I love the three -barrel gun, but could it penetrate the Musketeer's armor? No.

Wheel -lock pistol went right through that Ming leather armor, and it was bang

on every time.

Edge, French Musketeer.

Finally, in close -range weapons, the Ming Dao sword competed against the

Musketeer's rapier and main gauche.

The DAO was way more deadly. It can be thrusted and slashed. So the fact that

you could kill in two ways versus one, I got to give the advantage to the DAO.

Edge. Ming Warrior.

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.

We've got all the data from our test loaded into our simulation, and there's

only one thing left to do. Let's fire it up and see who is the deadliest

warrior.

Ah!

Over the course of a thousand battles, our Musketeers emerged decisively

victorious, with 674 kills to their credit.

This was due in large part to the fact that the Ming warrior couldn't really

hurt our Musketeer in the vital areas that he needed to, thanks to the

of the Musketeer's breastplate.

And that's the biggest factor.

But I have to admit, I probably didn't give the Musketeer's armor as much

as I should have.

That, to me, was the deciding factor in this matchup.

Nice job, Musketeer.

I don't care what the numbers say on the computer result.

The Ming warrior is the deadliest warrior.

I like the Ming warriors, but I think they should go back where they come from

and, you know, build walls. They're very good at it.
