Pirate vs. Knight
Joshua Santana:
I have seen that episode and all I have to say about is that it is a Mother F********G DISGRACE!
They didn't take into consideration 16th Century Armor (which was the type of armor made when gunpowder weaponry was used)
They didn't take Medieval Martial Arts training into account, no Ringeck, no Talhofffer, nothing!
They didn't take into fact that Knights were capable of rolling in armor on the ground and would not be a sitting duck.
This episode pissed me off!
(All other considerations made courtesy of all of yee brethren need not mentioning)
I cannot bear to watch it.
Thorsteinn:
No worries guys. With all the other horrid misconceptions out there whats one more?
It's just mind candy. The ones who take this show for gospel think that a gun will kill you more dead than a combat knife.

That's true, and a good point. People don't realize just how horrific knife wounds can be. Let alone swords.

Indeed. Just like the old saying "Do you know who ends up in a hospital after a knife fight?"
The winner.

I have not seen the particular episode being discussed but I have seen 2-3 of the other episodes. The one I remember most was Al Capone's gang vs. Jessie James...Jessie James won despite the fact the Capone gang had grenades and a Thompson SMG. It was ridiculous.

Well, I can almost agree with this assessment and I'll explain why- yes, the Capone boys would be armed with better, more advanced weapons, but nowhere do you read these guys were crack shots. Jesse James and his boys, however, WERE not the spray and pray type like the typical gangster, they knew their irons and knew'm well.
I guess it would depend on the situation and to be honest, I don't think much of the comparison. I'd like to see a Ninja against a medieval-era Hashishin...but it'd be more fun to see them ply their trade in a contest rather than fight one another.
As for whether or not a gun will kill you deader than a knife, dead's dead, 'nuff said.
