Who will win? One is a caveman, he iust barely learned to sharpen flint. The other iss an Apache helicopter, literally a war machine from the modern day, lets run the test!
I always laughed that switchblade got the edge over the bowie knife bc it was "concealable" when the bowie was bigger, did more damage, and could be thrown
It was like the one weapon that actually beat the rest of Capones weapons and they picked wrong. I mean the morons did compare a grenade to a rifle so... Experts.
I *will* argue an experienced knife fighter with a switchblade that could get in REALLY close and personal might have the edge but only for that initial half a second. The few guys that I know that are experienced in CQB outright say "In a knife-fight, expect to get stabbed or cut, it's gonna happen, not a matter of if, only when, the sooner you're ready for that more than your opponent the better off you are". If both opponents know what's coming and can draw at the same time, my money is on the Bowie every single time.
@@TheLikenessOfNormal I think for exactly that reason it was less "what does Jesse James have that could match a grenade" (as others pointed out dynamite would seem obvious) but "What long range weapon does Capone have that we can pair up against the rifle?"
Adam Savage said that getting a hand grenade was the most difficult item to try to get on mythbusters, so I'm going to say that yes the grenade they used was fake and then they just set off a separate explosive.
Both the grenade and Tommy gun would be NFA items, and the grenade also needs a licensed FEL dealer to handle the transfer and sale of it on a form 4 which 99% of them just don't do for liability and licensing reasons. I work at not just an FFL, but they are an SOT, so we deal in all kinds of stuff like this in regards to the NFA.
@franzferdinand1393 I know, lol. I sometimes forget that most people don't get all of those. I work in firearms compliance, so It's almost second nature to me. Sorry
@@maxbracegirdle9990 idk about you but I have had some jobs where as long as you live they don’t care how it happens that’s all if spike didn’t give a fuck than it could be a real grenade this also was filmed when we were kids assuming your around my age and a lot has changed in our society since then including cracking down on workplace safety
Ahh, I remember when I was a cringe teenager, Capone vs. Jesse James was unironically one of my favorite episodes of the show. The experts this episode were really fun, especially the mobster's son, and the staged simulation had a great theme with both gangs robbing the same bank unlike most of the staged fights which have the combatants randomly face off in a field somewhere. Aside from the weird weapon matchups I think this episode still holds up.
@rue8929 True! Granted It does seem super staged though seeing everyone in the fight look roughly the same age. James and Capon were 50+ years apart, Jesse James' gang would all be old men by the time Capone's gang existed.
The way I got Jesse James confused with Jesse Owens for a second and was trying to figure out why they would pick a runner of all people to fight an entire gang Edit: in retrospect, that's actually as fair a match-up as we got in this episode ngl
Also Tommy Guns were exceedingly rare amongst gangsters, being so damn expensive. It was Hollywood and their large film budgets that could afford the arm the movie gangsters with them.
@@Chraan I believe Al Capone only owned two Tommy Guns, and these had to be personally lent to the shooters of the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre, the most famous gangster event involving them.
@@Chraan We also have the sales figure for the Tommy Gun. The initial batch of 15,000 was produced in 1921 and they were still struggling to sell off this batch in the 40s, with production only restarting just before the Attack on Pearl Harbor, with the manufacturer on the verge of bankruptcy.

The episode pretty much shows that the James gang won because of the skill of their experts shooting ability. I doubt the armor would've made too much of a difference when the experts would've gone for head shots.
@@gatorcroc7212 I think then the question would be why would we assume head shots all time and what would cause one such as James to assume his opponent had armor
I remember my biggest complaint about the show was that they'd just slant it to try and make the victories more ridiculous. Like we can all objectively say that Capone's gang would win and the big reason they didn't was they made their long range weapon a fucking hand grenade.
Heck, in the scenario they went with the grenade feels more useful. Like if it were wide open, little cover, then the rifle would likely be better. Indoors though, enemies in another room, toss grenade in, aim tommy gun at door, not much you can do to beat that. Shoot, any close range enclosed fight like that something like a shotgun or smg seems like such an overwhelming automatic advantage.
@@fallouthirteen 100% in an urban warfare environment where they're fighting IN a building grenade would dominate the hell out of that contest and likely clear the whole other gang with a single one. This whole thing was goofy.

The cowboy revolvers featured in this episode were Colt single action army revolvers. They were made after the Civil War circa 1873, and we're not single shot. They held 6 rounds in the cylinder, although an expert would only load 5, resting the hammer on an empty chamber to avoid accidental misfire. They were also single-action. Meaning that you had to cock the hammer in order to cycle a new round into place in the cylinder to then pull the trigger to shoot.
Just a question. Do you not think Jesse would destroy Capone in a 1v1? I mean, Jesse was really about that life in wild conditions. Just because Capone had better technology, I think is a non-factor. Jesse was a legit gunman. Al Capone was a gangster who usually hid behind his goons.
@@gaaraxnaru Jesse is a duelist. Do you know how fast he could pull his gun and headshot Al Capone? It only takes one shot. Capone having a tommy gun is not the deciding factor.
@@NeonPlanes 1v1 there's a point there, but both rode in gangs and didn't do 1v1. There's zero argument that drive bys with machine guns in cars over horseback revolvers would win, and given they do a 5v5 I highly doubt Jesse James wins. Good example are the many wars where caveraly vs vehicles were decimated, many many examples of this especially in the world wars. It's a similar concept in Indian Jones with the dude showing blade skills before Jones simply shoots him.
The biggest goddamned letdown of this episode was that there was no. dynamite. You break out a hand grenade and you don't match it with dynamite and let us see something really big go boom? Booooooo.
This was a match where the tech didn't matter it came down to who was the superior marksmen and that was the James Gang. Now while yes Al had WW1 vets including snipers who were trained marksmen in his gang they did not make up the majority of Al's gang the majority of the Capone gang were bootleggers like him who primarily used intimidation, racketeering, bribery, and having their fellow gang-members infiltrate the police or take up positions in local politics in order to get away with their crimes hence why it took that federal task force led by Eliot Ness to bring him down via getting him on tax evasion a federal white collar crime. Jessie, Frank, and the members of James Gang were all war-vets as they served in the Civil War as part of a Confederate Guerrilla Unit along with being taught how to use firearms at a early age as they were taught how to hunt for food because the lifestyle the James Brothers, and their future gang members lived was the rural country-boy lifestyle which back then meant learning how to track, and hunt wild game so the family could have food due to most of the time not having enough money to go into town to buy food meaning missing a shot while hunting meant whatever wild game you were hunting got away and now the family pretty much don't have a viable source of food mainly meat and protein to eat.
@@derrickhaggard Except the dumb ass show tested the modern people, not the historical guys. A lot of bootleggers were WWI vets, who would be a hell of a lot better marksman than some random guy.
@@derrickhaggard I don't see why the worst of Capone's gang would be picked while it is so much bigger. Why don't they just let the full size gang compete, huh? Oh, not very fair? Well then, each team picks their best 3, now that's fair.
I just pictured the end being Jessie James trying to find his horse & Capone driving up in a car just lighting him up w a Tommy Gun & all of the hours of "spreadsheet results" being pointless lol 😂
Chris, PLEASE watch a show called "Animal Face Off" Its basically the same thing as this but with exerts fighting each other about wich animal would win in a fight lol, and they even made animal robots to perform their "tests", it halso had a 3d animation at the end with the fight hahaha
Omg, I SECOND THIS!!! I remember watching the fights on youtube!!! The picks I had as a kid always lost because I just picked who I liked more XD (Well, except for the elephant. But I mean, an elephant vs a rhino isn't a fair fight lol)
I love that the one gunslinger is so close to the target he throws the knife at, you can see his whole arm and the knife plunged into the target in the same frame
Al: I got a knife. Jesse: I got a knife. Al: I got a gun. Jesse: I got a gun. Al: I got a grenade. Jesse: I got a Gun. Al: I got brass knuckles. Jesse: I got a GUN.
I was remember this episode. We all mocked it during lunch/ study hall smoke pit. What we should have got... Single action vs 1911 Grenade vs dynamite Winchester vs Winchester (Model 12) Remington 10/ Thompson Meele weapons and vehicles were perfectly fine. Keep it up Chris. I love the ad libs and dry humor.
@@grandgibbon2071 and single shot weapons dont do well against moving targets either. The whole thing is absurd. The PROFESSIONAL riding on horseback couldnt even hit stationary targets with his revolver and we are expected to believe he is gonna hit people in a moving car? While having hundreds of bullets whizzing by and probably killing his horse right out from under him.
@@carlwinslo you knew all you needed to know when the mafia didnt instantly win the show off, by just tossing 4 hand grenades into the room with the gangsters.
11:46 Imagining that grenade bouncing off the window! LMFAO! TH-cam needs to push you more on the algorithm because your one of the funniest guys on here.
When I was little my dad had a $100 bill from the Capone era. He sat me down and he was all "see this $100, bill? Al Capone could have touched this. That's how old it is". I was like ok.. 😂
😂 That is really neat. I did the same thing with a 1945 American penny. I was all excited thinking maybe somehow James Dean or Paul Newman had it for change at some point.
I introduced my husband to this channel a few weeks ago and the series of videos in Deadliest Warrior were some of the first we watched. I cannot express JUST HOW EXCITED I am for this video. Let’s GOOOO!!!!
YES! Seeing another one of these videos is actually the best thing that's happened this week! Seriously, my Venmo got hacked and it's been a shitty week. Thank you for making another one of these, I love your videos!
When the dude introduces one of the gunslingers and the guy chucks a knife, I thought for a SPLIT SECOND, my guy was LITERALLY SLINGING HIS GUN at a target and it cracks me up so much, how I wish they'd do that..
Gunslinger: Through practice and drilling, I can draw my gun and shoot a target in less than a second. Gangster: They gave me a gun specifically designed to mag dump 30 rounds into multiple targets at once.
I remember thinking after this episode, that if this show continued, they were possibly going to start to invite such groups like the CRIPS, NARCOS, MS-13, and the HELLS ANGELS.
@@nicolasmeiselI remember when the finals happened they put the pirate in the same category as the modern day soldiers. The knight was robbed of his chance to beat the spartan and be the deadlier warrior.
@@4thSurviver oh absolutely. That would been a better match up. Two walls of armor. Knight kinda just got misused. Ofc I also think the pirate should have fought the ninja.
@@nicolasmeisel It also isn't really fair to have someone in steel armor, wielding steel weapons. Oh who is gonna win in this hand to hand combat experience someone covered head to toe in armor that cannot be damaged, or penned by the other guys weapons? let's find out.
13:57 Hes not even wearing the brass knuckles right...theyre supposed to go below the knuckles. You look at the last punch and can see how red his hand is because of improper use
The thing is that the Thompson is not just a Thompson but is a M1921 which was capable of using a **50** round magazine but one the other side grenades have been some of the oldest weapons and there were variants used in the American Civil War.
I've said it once and I'll say it again: I will watch as many Deadliest Warrior breakdowns as you make. Even if you just did like an off-the-cuff stream of you watching and commenting on an episode, I think it would be highly entertaining. I was also obsessed with this show when I was in middle school to the point that I had bought nearly the entire series on iTunes at one point. I would literally watch a whole series of your commentary on this chaotic masterpiece of a show lol
Don’t know if you recognize him, but that ER doc was also on Spike 1000 Ways to Die (or whatever it’s called). Wonder if Spike TV paid better than an average American Emergency Room. Probably,
I think I stumbled on your channel when you did your first deadliest warrior video and you only had maybe 40k subs. It's nice to see that your channel is growing pretty fast, and by the looks of your views, your subs are still lower than they should be or you already have a dedicated audience. Either way, good job Chris
wtf... they could have compared the Tommy gun to a Gatling gun, at least then the Civil-War-era weapon's disadvantage would be more of a logistical drawback and not a complete relative lack of firepower
Your problem is the comparison of a Tommy gun to a revolver? Not a hand grenade against a long rifle...? Edit: AND THAT ALSO THE HAND GRENADE WAS CONSIDERED A LONG RANGE WEAPON
@@Bad_Gazpacho They could have used the Maxim gun for the Lawrence of Arabia episode, though, and saved the Gatling gun for this episode. It's almost like they were just doing random shit with no prior planning :D
Interesting fact, mobsters are generally not actual fighters. They are specializing, intimidation, tactics, and comparison cowboys and guns. Slingers tend to actually be expert marksman realistically, they would probably manage to win without losing even a single guy if it’s anything but the confines of the building.
I still hate how the edge went to the stiletto, the bowie was clearly a better killing knife with it's size and versatility. It wasn't just a short distance weapon but could also be thrown.
electricity does very little in a street fight (even with guns included) apart from recording it. even if you include tasers, peeps can build a resistance to it if they don't already have a natural resistance (or they can use drugs. drugs help)
There’s simply no way in hell you can test a live mk2 grenade on TV. You can’t detonate it controlled, you can’t do anything with it. Thats famously mythbusters could never touch. But you can test dynamite so who the hell knows why they didn’t test that haha
Deadliest Warrior was THE show for me and my friends back in the day. I still have the excel spreadsheet of my buddies and I picking the winners of each episode
I had to do a double take. They gave the range on the colt revolver at 100 yards. The Thompson's range they classify as 50 yards, so half that of the revolver. Those stats are actually reversed with the Thompson being effective out to 164 yards
i used to love this show but i never took it that seriously i just thought learning about the weapons they used was neat i also thought they should just make the experts fight to the death

Especially when this show said back in Sparta vs Ninja that all that mattered was killing power. But choose to go with not the knife that kills more.
Well, you could throw a switchblade, but it wouldn't work very well.
Very surprised they didn't match the grenade with a stick of dynamite....you know...the thing Jesse James used to rob trains and banks lol.
That’s what I was thinking
Yeah I was a little disappointed I didn't get to see someone chuck dynamite ACME style tbh, why wouldn't they have used it?? lol
These match ups were terrible.
I was legitimately pissed off that they didn't.

The bets were never monetary, the prize was priority in picking next weeks episode which he always lost 😄
So Jesse James wouldn't have had a stick of dynamite? Nevermind that would require thought from Spike

@@pokemontrainer5678 And the most important fact that unless your using a MGL, grenades aren't long range lol.

The fact they went with a Winchester Rifle…and not you know…dynamite against a hand grenade is so fucking goofy.
THANK YOU
Grenade i think would win over a stick of dynamite cause of the kill radius of the shrapnel
Grenades are ancient, so they could have used Grenades to
And TNT back in the day is expensive and it’s more of a ambush/ trap tool, than thrown with a lit fuse.
To be fair the category for those weapons was "Long Range" so i have no fucking clue why a grenade was a part of that comparison.
How is Jesse James's answer to a grenade not a stick of dynamite? I know they had dynamite. I played Red Dead Redemption.
I bet you think balls shrink in the cold too, this guy's thinks video games are real

@@derrickhaggard I don't see why the worst of Capone's gang would be picked while it is so much bigger. Why don't they just let the full size gang compete, huh? Oh, not very fair? Well then, each team picks their best 3, now that's fair.
They could have at least used like TNT or dynamite 🧨
I just pictured the end being Jessie James trying to find his horse & Capone driving up in a car just lighting him up w a Tommy Gun & all of the hours of "spreadsheet results" being pointless lol 😂
Also oh you are moving on a horse. Who that is sure gonna help you. I will defiantly not just shoot the horse.
Every time I hear it's his last episode on this series I cry, then my feed gets blessed 🥲
Chris, PLEASE watch a show called "Animal Face Off" Its basically the same thing as this but with exerts fighting each other about wich animal would win in a fight lol, and they even made animal robots to perform their "tests", it halso had a 3d animation at the end with the fight hahaha
Omg, I SECOND THIS!!! I remember watching the fights on youtube!!! The picks I had as a kid always lost because I just picked who I liked more XD (Well, except for the elephant. But I mean, an elephant vs a rhino isn't a fair fight lol)
HOLY SHIT YES
Wasn't there a dinosaur version of this too???
@@themosin1852 Jurassic Fight Club is what I believe you're talking about. It's awful and I'd be down to see Chris James trash it lol
@themosin1852 oh yes there indeed was! Jurassic Fight Club, I believe
I love that the one gunslinger is so close to the target he throws the knife at, you can see his whole arm and the knife plunged into the target in the same frame
Al: I got a knife.
Jesse: I got a knife.
Al: I got a gun.
Jesse: I got a gun.
Al: I got a grenade.
Jesse: I got a Gun.
Al: I got brass knuckles.
Jesse: I got a GUN.
I mean I'm like 90% sure sticks of Dynamite existed in Jesse James' time. Why didn't they use Dynamite to combat the Grenade?
Why did they compare the revolver to a submachine gun. They could have used a government 45
I was remember this episode. We all mocked it during lunch/ study hall smoke pit.
What we should have got...
Single action vs 1911
Grenade vs dynamite
Winchester vs Winchester (Model 12) Remington 10/ Thompson
Meele weapons and vehicles were perfectly fine.
Keep it up Chris. I love the ad libs and dry humor.
The only problem with the vehicle match up is, horses don't do well against automatic fire.
@@grandgibbon2071 and single shot weapons dont do well against moving targets either. The whole thing is absurd. The PROFESSIONAL riding on horseback couldnt even hit stationary targets with his revolver and we are expected to believe he is gonna hit people in a moving car? While having hundreds of bullets whizzing by and probably killing his horse right out from under him.
@@carlwinslo you knew all you needed to know when the mafia didnt instantly win the show off, by just tossing 4 hand grenades into the room with the gangsters.
Back when I was in middle school, I used to love this episode. It's kind of weird to see other people acknowledge its existence
11:46 Imagining that grenade bouncing off the window! LMFAO! TH-cam needs to push you more on the algorithm because your one of the funniest guys on here.
Being on break and seeing a Chris James video pop up is clutch!
Hope your shift doesnt suck
Deadliest Warrior is basically Death Battle for History Nerds
Death Battle is probably more accurate and well researched though
@@calebbonney4193 Which is saying a lot considering how poorly researched and inaccurate Death Battle has been over the years.
This show inspired me as a kid to make my own ballistic jelly at home. It was pretty fun.
even on DEATHBATTLE's worst day of terrible matchups, putting an automatic against a revolver is insane
-and they’ve had a *ton* of sloppy matchups too 😂
You need to watch Amish Mafia.
Yesss. I couldn't do it, that show seemed so cringy when I was younger. I tried to get into it, but it just seemed ridiculous.
Alaskan Bush People! 😂
That show was hilarious
I forgot all about this show but yes!
YEEEES I want a semi series of that wild cringe filled mess 😂
@12:41 why didnt they just compare it to dynamite 😂 bruh a gun against a grenade is like a stick against a sword 🤣
i was thinking the same thing, like wtf a rifle vs grenade 😂
When I was little my dad had a $100 bill from the Capone era. He sat me down and he was all "see this $100, bill? Al Capone could have touched this. That's how old it is". I was like ok.. 😂
😂 That is really neat.
I did the same thing with a 1945 American penny. I was all excited thinking maybe somehow James Dean or Paul Newman had it for change at some point.
that's such a Certified Dad Moment
I introduced my husband to this channel a few weeks ago and the series of videos in Deadliest Warrior were some of the first we watched.
I cannot express JUST HOW EXCITED I am for this video. Let’s GOOOO!!!!
Deadliest Warrior is backkkk
Oh shit, really?
YES! Seeing another one of these videos is actually the best thing that's happened this week!
Seriously, my Venmo got hacked and it's been a shitty week. Thank you for making another one of these, I love your videos!
When the dude introduces one of the gunslingers and the guy chucks a knife, I thought for a SPLIT SECOND, my guy was LITERALLY SLINGING HIS GUN at a target and it cracks me up so much, how I wish they'd do that..
I LOVE your sense of humor! You & Layze!
Gangster: I got a 🐖 pigsticker.
Cowboy: That's not a knife, this is a knife.
16:36
Being the one rooting for Al Capone, this genuinely triggered me when i first saw it.
This match was bullshit
I just went with Jessie cause I liked cowboys back then.I was 5 so you can probably understand my logic back then
@@LucasT37 fair enough
Hmm... 🤔 What could we possibly pit against a hand-grenade? Oh... what about dynamite? 😮 Derrr.....
My jaw dropped when I saw the grenade was for the long range category.
Shamelessly idiotic
RIP Johnny Frato ;-;
Howard Stern LEGEND
You know what to do. You know what to do. Ack ack
Gunslinger: Through practice and drilling, I can draw my gun and shoot a target in less than a second.
Gangster: They gave me a gun specifically designed to mag dump 30 rounds into multiple targets at once.
I remember thinking after this episode, that if this show continued, they were possibly going to start to invite such groups like the CRIPS, NARCOS, MS-13, and the HELLS ANGELS.
Colombia cartel vs Somalis pirates
Fed ex employees vs Amazon drivers
@@Zombiekilleryamato That was a good episode.
You are currently one of my favorite TH-camrs! Keep it going!
Knight VS Pirate is the best episode!
That was the episode that made me realize how bs the show was with it testing
Ninja vs Spartans was also peak
@@nicolasmeiselI remember when the finals happened they put the pirate in the same category as the modern day soldiers. The knight was robbed of his chance to beat the spartan and be the deadlier warrior.
@@4thSurviver oh absolutely. That would been a better match up. Two walls of armor. Knight kinda just got misused.
Ofc I also think the pirate should have fought the ninja.
@@nicolasmeisel It also isn't really fair to have someone in steel armor, wielding steel weapons. Oh who is gonna win in this hand to hand combat experience someone covered head to toe in armor that cannot be damaged, or penned by the other guys weapons? let's find out.
You know you've played too much New Vegas when you're expecting James Gang to throw sticks of dynamite.
13:57 Hes not even wearing the brass knuckles right...theyre supposed to go below the knuckles. You look at the last punch and can see how red his hand is because of improper use
The thing is that the Thompson is not just a Thompson but is a M1921 which was capable of using a **50** round magazine but one the other side grenades have been some of the oldest weapons and there were variants used in the American Civil War.
Chris, I’m pregnant. We need to talk.
Again??
🎶You let him hit it raw, didn't have second thoughts...🎶
He did what?!?
🏃♂️💨
Wait his or mine
I've said it once and I'll say it again: I will watch as many Deadliest Warrior breakdowns as you make. Even if you just did like an off-the-cuff stream of you watching and commenting on an episode, I think it would be highly entertaining. I was also obsessed with this show when I was in middle school to the point that I had bought nearly the entire series on iTunes at one point. I would literally watch a whole series of your commentary on this chaotic masterpiece of a show lol
That cowboy could’ve chosen dynamite
Chris I just wanna thank you. Your content got me through my toughest days while pregnant and now through sleepless nights with my baby boy. ❤
Don’t know if you recognize him, but that ER doc was also on Spike 1000 Ways to Die (or whatever it’s called). Wonder if Spike TV paid better than an average American Emergency Room. Probably,
He was also in a couple Discovery Channel shows, man got around
craziest weapon matchup i think was the maori warrior and shaolin monk
sting ray spear vs two 3 foot long steel swords that link together like a whip
That Al Capone guy is like Richie Aprile.
I think I stumbled on your channel when you did your first deadliest warrior video and you only had maybe 40k subs. It's nice to see that your channel is growing pretty fast, and by the looks of your views, your subs are still lower than they should be or you already have a dedicated audience. Either way, good job Chris
wtf... they could have compared the Tommy gun to a Gatling gun, at least then the Civil-War-era weapon's disadvantage would be more of a logistical drawback and not a complete relative lack of firepower
My best guess is that they didn't use the Gatling because they had already used it for Lawrence of Arabia.
Your problem is the comparison of a Tommy gun to a revolver? Not a hand grenade against a long rifle...? Edit: AND THAT ALSO THE HAND GRENADE WAS CONSIDERED A LONG RANGE WEAPON
@@maxstrong6915 Hahahaha yeah neither of those things made sense either :D
@@Bad_Gazpacho Of course. That makes perfect sense in TV producer land lmao
@@Bad_Gazpacho They could have used the Maxim gun for the Lawrence of Arabia episode, though, and saved the Gatling gun for this episode.
It's almost like they were just doing random shit with no prior planning :D
“The Colt Revolver” *shows the host being handed a Smith & Wesson Schofield*
ANOTHER BANGER
15:42 Can we give a shoutout to that guy just committing to the frontflip?
Lmao shows up to work the next day in an arm cast that shit looked like it hurt no lie
*Do ANIMAL FACE-OFF NEXT PLS!!!* 17:07
just when I thought it was done, Chris is back with my favorite guilty pleasure reality TV show. NGL wish they still made this one.
Interesting fact, mobsters are generally not actual fighters. They are specializing, intimidation, tactics, and comparison cowboys and guns. Slingers tend to actually be expert marksman realistically, they would probably manage to win without losing even a single guy if it’s anything but the confines of the building.
At 10:24 the cowboy was more Italian than the Italians “its like a toothpick” 🤌🏻
Please cover more deadliest warrior!!!
What's gonna beat the hand grenade? Dynamite! I can't believe they forgot about DYNAMITE!!!
I still hate how the edge went to the stiletto, the bowie was clearly a better killing knife with it's size and versatility. It wasn't just a short distance weapon but could also be thrown.
Johnny Fratto would win if he brought Eric the Midget...IYKYK
"You KNOW what to do..."
@@BrokenFistX find that guy. His names jerry
ACK ACK!
@@moisheherman zero point zero
electricity does very little in a street fight (even with guns included) apart from recording it. even if you include tasers, peeps can build a resistance to it if they don't already have a natural resistance (or they can use drugs. drugs help)
Dude yes!!!! YESSS !! IM PEAKING
Gross.
I knew he'd come back to this series. I'm telling you James, we will be here when you want smash out every episode. We're here to give you views
7:00 hair loss ads coming from a guy wearing a hat isn’t the best advertisement
I LOVED this show, watched it all throughout middle school
I love how the fight on this one had, like, a little story. It was like they'd all just come to life in a museum.
There’s simply no way in hell you can test a live mk2 grenade on TV. You can’t detonate it controlled, you can’t do anything with it. Thats famously mythbusters could never touch. But you can test dynamite so who the hell knows why they didn’t test that haha
More Deadliest Warrior please!
Oh, and Mountain Monsters too! I just adore Clueless Jeff!
Please go touch grass ...
The Winchester is the gun that won the west, so I get it. But Jesus. That’s a goddamn grenade.
Capone never loses this.
I bet those brass knuckles hurt since he didnt wear them right lol
Chris these are Lowkey fire. Do more episodes 😂🔥😎
I like how around 5:17 the pen and pad come out of nowhere while he's "on the toilet" 🤣
Deadliest Warrior was THE show for me and my friends back in the day. I still have the excel spreadsheet of my buddies and I picking the winners of each episode
I had to do a double take. They gave the range on the colt revolver at 100 yards. The Thompson's range they classify as 50 yards, so half that of the revolver. Those stats are actually reversed with the Thompson being effective out to 164 yards
The most interesting thing I found about this episode was that it was the only team battle where one of the sidekicks survived.
They need to bring this show back. I used to be obsessed with this show when I was younger 😂
I can relate to you, I remember this episode as a kid annoyed me with who won
That face you make when the doctor starts doing his thing makes my day every single time.
I would love to see you celebrity love shows of the 2000s like Flavor of love, Rock of love, i love money. I been wanting to see you do that.
i used to love this show but i never took it that seriously i just thought learning about the weapons they used was neat
i also thought they should just make the experts fight to the death
