I think the reason zombies in the kingdom are afraid of water is because when the infected people are submerged or immersed in the water the worms assume that underwater mean no oxygen so they find a way to run out of the body.
Most West European arquebus and matchlock guns where between 60-80 caliber, Eastern European ranges slightly smaller calibers of 50-70 calibers. Far Eastern guns where even smaller at 40-50 Calibers why this is whether it be because they found out smaller & longer means more power or that it was because of the low quality or lower amounts of iron in the Japan and tenegashima designs just being shared and adopted by Korea and China.
@@kodylarson2983 gonna throw a guess and say that western large bore musket were designed for high sustained rate of fire, as large bore makes fouling a smaller issue rangers, sharpshooters etc would use smaller calibers, with balls closer to the bore size, making loading slower but more accurate shots
@@AttiliusRex decent guess, but nah the time period being talked about 16th-17th century western musket bores were larger due to poorer powder. this would be remedied when the Portuguese bring back eastern powder from India and china in the 18th century. As for sharpshooters yes Rifled Muskets would be of smaller caliber of usually either 48 or 58 caliber where 18th century line muskets would shrink from the large bore 70-80 caliber matchlocks to almost standardized 68 caliber.
@@kodylarson2983 doesnt poorer powder mean more fouling, making a large bore benifial Western muskets of the ~1750 had larger bores than earlier western firearms and surerly powder quality didnt decrease?
Kingdom was really cool as people watching it might learn some history by accident 😂 also touching on the different design of the Korean blade, a wider blade also stabilizes the trajectory and makes it easier to align the blade in the direction of the swing, making it easier to chop off zombie heads
Kingdom did a really good job of keeping many traditional zombie tropes, like established weaknesses and human inability to co-operate being the real villain, while bringing a lot of interesting new stuff, like the early modern setting, court intrigue and the thematic undercurrent of the whole thing being rich people's fault. Without the corrupt family there wouldn't have been a catalyst and without the general neglect of the ruling class the poor wouldn't have been desperate enough to eat zombie flesh.
Thank you for covering this show! I watched it during quarantine and instantly fell in love with it can't wait for the next coverage on this show. Thank you
Uh, disagreement on the historical role of swords. Okay, so in literally every military [except the Rome], the sword was always a sidearm. It is an absolutely shit battlefield weapon until plate armor became so good that should became unnecessary, and even then, the swords used were extremely long. Polearms are cheaper, easier to use, and offer greater range and damage than swords. During the 17th and 18th century, swords became restricted to cavalry and officers. In ww1, swords were replaced by pistols because holding a sword made you a target. As for comparing swords to guns, the modern concept of a pistol is more appropriate because it is typically an officer's weapon. Throughout history, the smaller the weapon, the more important the person.
@@boarfaceswinejaw4516 Onmost battlefields, it's near useless. Yes it is near indispensable in close combat, but such occasions are rare. In most circumstances it is nothing but sniper bait. That said, in situations like the Great War, or a zombie outbreak, having a melee weapon is vital.
One Word: SLINGERS - The Shepherd's Sling is the oldest projectile weapon in history, easy to learn how to make/use, has NO issues with ammunition(literally rocks), it's effectively silent, has an effective range of 450m moving at a speed of 400kph(Slinging.org), and can be almost as effective as a .44 Magnum depending on the stone used and the slinger's proficiency.
Started this video earlier today, proceeded to stop video at the spoiler warning and binge the entirety of both seasons, returned to video and regret absolutely nothing
One thing about modern assault rifles -- when the rounds hit a body, they yaw or spin, and fragment inside the body, causing a small internal explosion. They go in leaving a small hole, but go out blowing out a chunk of flesh. They would actually be pretty effective anti-zombie weapons, especially given their capacity for automatic fire.
Its about the sword part. In all of history swords are used as secondary weapons. They are sort range, expensive to make, not good ate piercing armor and hard to train whit
Season 3 is a while off but their making a kind of prequel based on Jun Ji Hyuns character who turned up in the teaser at the end of season 2...i believe it will be a film not a series called "Ashin Of The North"...
I have to say, Korean films are some of the best in recent times. I saw the devil was the first Korean film I saw and I loved it. Fucked up film, but great storytelling and cinematography.
Since the key is the destruction of the brain, a simple hammer seems a good choice, at least against a single zombie. Groups would be a problem though, as they could overwhelm the hammerer. But the zombies seem to use their teeth more than anything else for attacking, so leather armor that covers pretty much the entire body should be effective. Though leather armor tight enough to protect the entire body yet allows for brawling will be hot for the wearer.
I think a modern full metal jacket bullet would do more damage since they're so much faster and cause significant cavitation. But I'm not a terminal ballistics expert
It would do work, certainly. 7.62 (AK caliber) likes to pitch and yaw when it hits a target, whereas 5.56 (M4 family) is a faster flying bullet. Against un-armored meatbags, I'd prefer the slow heavy lead balls that exert all the force on impact rather than bullets that maintain their force for a bit. Now, if the zombies were tightly packed together, the chance pops up for some through-and-through shooting, and I'm all for economization, so I agree with ya there. I'd just prefer something that loads a bit faster.
I maintain the opinion that a blunt weapon is better against zombies than a bladed one. Less chance of the weapon getting caught in the rotting corpse's bones, no edge to maintain, significant to crippling damage that can be used on humans opponents as well.
Wow,the quintuple cannon that the Koreans used in Kingdom reminds me of the organ gun in the Age of Empires 3. Slow weapon, but very effective weapon in mow down infantry compared to the field gun.
"Katana a superior weapon against an armored foe" If you have any kind of cutting sword vs someone in armor, especially metal armor, you really are not in a good position. Even pure soft padding can take hits from brutal cutting swords without necessarily being penetrated.
Re: bows. Yeah you don't really need super high draw weights to kill zombies. Zombies don't have a lot of armor. I would be more concerned about whether the zombies can be killed with blood loss and organ failures or not, since if not, you pretty much need a headshot, in which case Lars Anderson style speedshooting is probably preferable to slow and exhausting 40+ kgf warbows.
I used to love horror movies until I saw the remake of the hills have eyes 2 starring flex Washington. This movie singlehandedly stripped any semblance of fear from all horror movies with just how bad it was.
Is it me, or does Allen sort of have Jordan Peele energy? Can't nail down why though. Maybe it's the inflection of his voice? Or the rhythm of his speech
I really like the Netflix KINGDOM series but I would really be interested to see a series or movie in a medieval time with swords and bows and arrows and see how they will handle a zombie apocalypse
This series is fun but there is a HUGE plot hole introduced in season 2. Apparently water and heat are two things that the worms cannot tolerate well. Water apparently kills them. How did the outbreak start? Some guy boiled a victim after chopping him to hits...boiled in hot water...
I too enjoy Zombies & Horror, without the gore. Though I wasn't born till 20 years later, I still fondly remember the "traditional Haitian style" (is that a thing?) Zombie from "Ghostbreakers" (1940) played by (the great - I think) Noble Johnson. I look forward to seeing more about Kingdom "Generation Ochi." (Please.) As always thank you so very much for the video.
It probably isn't right to say that sword ownership was restricted by governments to prevent revolts. Swords in pre-modern cultures take a similar role as pistols do now; they aren't primary military weapons (as you said), but they are portable, versatile weapons that you can carry day to day. They were a status symbol because of their expense and because wearing one gave you the ability (and, implicitly, the right) to use violence in civilian contexts. It's worth repeating that they were often pretty expensive. Most people back then didn't have a lot of money to waste on products that were not directly useful in their day to day lives, and a sword is not a great weapon for hunting, farming, fishing, foraging or anything else ordinary people did to survive. So buying a very expensive weapon whose primary purpose was killing people did not make economic sense for most people prior to the modern era. You could defend yourself with a knife or a big stick almost as well and both of those things were significantly cheaper and more useful to you day to day. As economies grew towards the beginning of the modern era, you do actually see (at least in Europe) a lot more commoners buying swords, since they now had more disposable cash, wanted to signal higher social status, and also were more likely to own valuable assets that they might need to defend from rivals in a context where legal systems and policing were still very rudimentary.
I could totally survive a zombie apocalypse. So long as I have a few simple things, not asking much really, just some tiny things.... A large sprawling heavily defended fortress town A well trained private army with absolute loyalty and obedience to me A massive stockpile of weapons and ammo and supplies of all kinds Power plants and water stations Personnel to run facilities Hospital and medical supplies and doctors A population of loyal obeidiant subjects Heavily armored vehicles for supply collection and other duties Fuel stations and production ability Ok everything a micro nation would need to sustain itself and etc.
I disagree with the part about modern rounds, hollow points and soft points can easily be used to make up for the lack of diameter, for those who don't know, hollow and soft points deform and flatten the head of the bullet making it wider. Not going to mention shotguns since they're comparing old and new rifles.
i'm not sure if true but in the 80's hearing how their presidents were elected or received power is super interesting almost like a cliche war movie; not sure if 80's it was when china and Russia were funding north Korea, so in result they were doing better than south Korea.
debunk time if worm no like water and servant that king bit prob had worm why didn't the worm die in the soup? especially in the boiling water of said soup?
Yeah the tip are vulnerable to snap because it is so hard. I think scholagladitoria said there are reports that states during mongol invasion, many katanas snapped in the tip when they tried to stabbed Mongol armour.
Just to be nit picky and to save you potentially from a much more zealous person who knows this, but matchlock guns are not actually muskets, they are considered arquebuses, there is a significant difference between how they work, since a musket uses a flintlock vs a matchlock
What if zombies use World War Z tactics, piling on top of each other and turn into rampart taller than the wall? Unless there is no way to get that many zombies outside China and India.
A medieval peasants made 2 pounds a year while a knight made at least 20 pounds a year. Serfs work farms to make food, peasants learn skills to make things , while knights fight to keep them safe! In order for cities to form you need large supplies of food and water on a regular basis to thrive. But people who kill on a regular basis aren't simply going to put down their arms and work the farms for pocket change especially when the only thing they know how to do is kill and are very good at it!
I remember watching this at the beginning of quarantine and I rage quit the show when my favorite dude died and still haven't finished it almost a year later
@@dimasakbar7668 The nitrates for gunpowder are different. You refine urine, it's a process streamlined by the Confederacy when their supplies from abroad for cut off or ran low.
@@MoreEvilThanYahweh why should the government have to monitor? The founding father's made the second amendment for a reason and in it it says "shall not be infringed"
Bows are a lot harder to accurately aim and fire. Additionally, the draw weights associated with decently effective combat bows are exhausting to someone who doesn't have years of daily practice.
Matchlocks, while time consuming and labour intensive to load, along with being inaccurate beyond about 50 yards, are much easier to use then a bow, as after the loading process and your target is within range, you point and shoot.
@@IamgRiefeR7 agreed. Despite its disadvantages, matchlocks are more effective in volley fire and you can easily train thousands of peasants with matchlocks at a month compared to a bow which might take 6 months or more in training. That is why the Japanese daimyos especially Oda Nobunaga see the full potential in matchlock rifles and his army beat the Takeda clan even though he was outmatched by the Takedas by 3 to 1. For the Koreans, they think matchlock is a cumbersome weapon with no qualities compared to the bow, but what they did not take in account is that matchlock rifle have the power to penetrate the armor of the time such as samurai armor. That would be one of the key reasons that the Korean forces would failed spectacularly against the Japanese during the early months of the Imjin War.
Which is why the English longbow was so effective. They were generally used by yeomen (free farmers) who generally had better diets and more time on their hands to practice. Archaeologists digging up medieval battlefields can always spot the longbow men.
Not to mention how long and difficult to string a traditional war gakgung (korean bow) is! That bow curves into an almost "O" shape and you have to bend it with curved wood lashed with rope for 30 minutes, only then you can string it using your legs and arms.
I thank you for pointing out the difference between today's ammunition and that of the past. A lot of people think that the many amputations performed during the civil war were because doctors didn't know what they were doing. The truth is that the miniballs used in the firearms of the time actually shattered bones. There was really no other option
pretty much the truth.... Muzzle velocity was low but the masket balls were big so when you get hit it basically pulverised the bone so its either cut the limb off or die
And what do you think happens when a .556 hits bone? Modern smokeless gunpowder is 3-5 times (depending on the type/quality of the black powder) more powerful than an equivalent amount of black powder -if you were to put modern powder into a black powder weapon; it would likely explode. Modern rifles/powder have significantly more energy than matchlocks -you guys are seemingly(?) mistaken in believing that a small entry wound; means less internal damage -a modern rifle round to the head normally imparts enough energy to turn large adjacent portions of tissue to mush.
@@LENZ5369 Nope 5.56x45mm will shatter the bone not pulvarise it... there is a difference, it does a lot of tissue damage but trust me not nearly as much as an .76 or .80 Caliber musket ball... that thing is more of a bloody handcannon than anything else plus the musket balls were usually made of lead which is soft and expands rapidly upon impact.... and what is left is not a nice view to look at trust me I know. I have seen firsthand what happens when a 9mm, .45 ACP, 5.56x45mm, 5.45x39mm, 7,62x39mm do to a human body... the closest in raw damage is the .50cal.... Cheers from a not so old Airbourne Helldiver
@@LENZ5369 Modern 5.56 ammo is great at putting small holes through people, but unless rounds impact bone the tissue damage is far less than with a musket ball. Something the earlier comments missed was that musket balls were 'dirty', and often carried powder residue and other toxins into the wound. They had no way to treat blood-poisoning, so the limb was often removed. .30 cal/7.62 mm rounds, on the other hand will go straight through a chest and blow out a fist-sized chunk as it exits. .50 cal and above can hit an arm or leg and cause hydrostatic shock.

What if the flower that has the worm eggs spread to China then reach Europe can you make a video about Europe facing this zombies like Korea did
I could totally survive a zombie apocalypse. So long as I have a few simple things, not asking much really, just some tiny things....
A
large sprawling heavily defended fortress
town
A well trained private army with absolute loyalty and obedience to me
A massive stockpile of weapons and ammo and supplies of all kinds
Power plants and water stations
Personnel to run facilities
Hospital and medical supplies and doctors
A population of loyal obeidiant subjects
Heavily armored vehicles for supply collection and other duties
Fuel stations and production ability
Ok everything a micro nation would need to sustain itself and etc.
All swords are terrible against armor. Especially the Katana. It doesn't even have a crossguard that can be used as a spike when push comes to shove.
This show was/is fantastic and I recommend it to everyone with Netflix
the us military have a plan to deal with a zombie apocalypse
I disagree with the part about modern rounds, hollow points and soft points can easily be used to make up for the lack of diameter, for those who don't know, hollow and soft points deform and flatten the head of the bullet making it wider. Not going to mention shotguns since they're comparing old and new rifles.
Why is Allan not sure of his name?
very good series
Where can I see this show/movie?(I don't remeber which one it was)
It’s on netflix
@@GenerationFilms thank you
It's Kingdom and is on Netflix, it's two seasons long plus a TV movie that should arrive at the end of this year (so I read)
I hope someone does the same with Europe
i'm not sure if true but in the 80's hearing how their presidents were elected or received power is super interesting almost like a cliche war movie; not sure if 80's it was when china and Russia were funding north Korea, so in result they were doing better than south Korea.
debunk time
if worm no like water
and servant that king bit prob had worm
why didn't the worm die in the soup?
especially in the boiling water of said soup?
As a European. Every movie is a foreign movie. Or a shit movie.
"Katana might be superior against armored foe" ähm...nope :D
any word on s3 though?
Ah yes fuedel
Katana good against armor, that's a nice joke
Yeah the tip are vulnerable to snap because it is so hard. I think scholagladitoria said there are reports that states during mongol invasion, many katanas snapped in the tip when they tried to stabbed Mongol armour.
@@kennantjessavi7648 yeah, is good to see a man of culture, I see skallagrim and shadiversity myself
Ummmm I just had a thought, is there an Isekai anime where the guy is dropped into a post apocalyptic zombie world
Before watching Kingdom I thought monarchies were silly. After watching Kingdome I find the idea of monarchies evil
Really enjoyed this video. Hope for more!
Just to be nit picky and to save you potentially from a much more zealous person who knows this, but matchlock guns are not actually muskets, they are considered arquebuses, there is a significant difference between how they work, since a musket uses a flintlock vs a matchlock
While in Europe a knight looks over the wall and shouts at the zombies: "Your mother was a hamster and your father smells of elderberries!"
What if zombies use World War Z tactics, piling on top of each other and turn into rampart taller than the wall? Unless there is no way to get that many zombies outside China and India.
Bro, plate armor would be perfect!
@@thanakonpraepanich4284 well shit, PREPARE YOUR SWORD
plate armored knight getting crushed /not eaten/ and turned into minced meat
Just add a moat around the castle and now the zambies can't even get close
If Allen were in the zombie apocalypse, he'd likely join a gang of cannibals.
You don’t know that... but maybe
@@GenerationFilms especially if Dolphin and Ewok meat are options.
@@shawn6860 then they aren't cannibals are they?
@@heliveruscalion9124 They are Cannibals for justice?
A medieval peasants made 2 pounds a year while a knight made at least 20 pounds a year. Serfs work farms to make food, peasants learn skills to make things , while knights fight to keep them safe! In order for cities to form you need large supplies of food and water on a regular basis to thrive. But people who kill on a regular basis aren't simply going to put down their arms and work the farms for pocket change especially when the only thing they know how to do is kill and are very good at it!
I remember watching this at the beginning of quarantine and I rage quit the show when my favorite dude died and still haven't finished it almost a year later
The body guard right?
Why did u do that?
But why ?
lmao
@@bigslorbsofkyrgyzstan5541 you didn't need to spoil anyone else scrolling down here lol
Great on several aspects:
• culture depiction
• política
• social responsability
• zombies
• historical customes
Yes
also: social distance
Fun fact: Military field manuals teaching yoou how to make improvised munitions are freely available online
Well you can easily make balck powder at home.
Making your own nitrates to avoid setting off government monitoring is disgusting business though.
@@MoreEvilThanYahweh it was merely "black soil" 😆
@@dimasakbar7668 The nitrates for gunpowder are different. You refine urine, it's a process streamlined by the Confederacy when their supplies from abroad for cut off or ran low.
@@MoreEvilThanYahweh why should the government have to monitor? The founding father's made the second amendment for a reason and in it it says "shall not be infringed"
Bows are a lot harder to accurately aim and fire. Additionally, the draw weights associated with decently effective combat bows are exhausting to someone who doesn't have years of daily practice.
Matchlocks, while time consuming and labour intensive to load, along with being inaccurate beyond about 50 yards, are much easier to use then a bow, as after the loading process and your target is within range, you point and shoot.
@@IamgRiefeR7 agreed. Despite its disadvantages, matchlocks are more effective in volley fire and you can easily train thousands of peasants with matchlocks at a month compared to a bow which might take 6 months or more in training.
That is why the Japanese daimyos especially Oda Nobunaga see the full potential in matchlock rifles and his army beat the Takeda clan even though he was outmatched by the Takedas by 3 to 1.
For the Koreans, they think matchlock is a cumbersome weapon with no qualities compared to the bow, but what they did not take in account is that matchlock rifle have the power to penetrate the armor of the time such as samurai armor.
That would be one of the key reasons that the Korean forces would failed spectacularly against the Japanese during the early months of the Imjin War.
Which is why the English longbow was so effective.
They were generally used by yeomen (free farmers) who generally had better diets and more time on their hands to practice. Archaeologists digging up medieval battlefields can always spot the longbow men.
@@robgraham5697 deformed/extra built shoulders
Not to mention how long and difficult to string a traditional war gakgung (korean bow) is! That bow curves into an almost "O" shape and you have to bend it with curved wood lashed with rope for 30 minutes, only then you can string it using your legs and arms.
I thank you for pointing out the difference between today's ammunition and that of the past. A lot of people think that the many amputations performed during the civil war were because doctors didn't know what they were doing. The truth is that the miniballs used in the firearms of the time actually shattered bones. There was really no other option
pretty much the truth.... Muzzle velocity was low but the masket balls were big so when you get hit it basically pulverised the bone so its either cut the limb off or die
And what do you think happens when a .556 hits bone?
Modern smokeless gunpowder is 3-5 times (depending on the type/quality of the black powder) more powerful than an equivalent amount of black powder -if you were to put modern powder into a black powder weapon; it would likely explode.
Modern rifles/powder have significantly more energy than matchlocks -you guys are seemingly(?) mistaken in believing that a small entry wound; means less internal damage -a modern rifle round to the head normally imparts enough energy to turn large adjacent portions of tissue to mush.
@@LENZ5369 Nope 5.56x45mm will shatter the bone not pulvarise it... there is a difference, it does a lot of tissue damage but trust me not nearly as much as an .76 or .80 Caliber musket ball... that thing is more of a bloody handcannon than anything else plus the musket balls were usually made of lead which is soft and expands rapidly upon impact.... and what is left is not a nice view to look at trust me I know. I have seen firsthand what happens when a 9mm, .45 ACP, 5.56x45mm, 5.45x39mm, 7,62x39mm do to a human body... the closest in raw damage is the .50cal.... Cheers from a not so old Airbourne Helldiver
Yup, Firearms back then were not a joke.
@@LENZ5369 Modern 5.56 ammo is great at putting small holes through people, but unless rounds impact bone the tissue damage is far less than with a musket ball. Something the earlier comments missed was that musket balls were 'dirty', and often carried powder residue and other toxins into the wound. They had no way to treat blood-poisoning, so the limb was often removed.
.30 cal/7.62 mm rounds, on the other hand will go straight through a chest and blow out a fist-sized chunk as it exits. .50 cal and above can hit an arm or leg and cause hydrostatic shock.
I always thought a zombie breakout during the Crusades would be INTENSE.
It was the work of the devil
How about the black plague making zombies....
@@Nugire now THAT would be interesting
@@Nugire Would it be the Black Plague being like we know it and then turning people? Or a zombie plague during the 13th century when the Black Plague happened?
