all that fancy dancing around with those weapons was cool and everything, but a roman centurion would've cut open those little rajputs in half before they even got a chance to flail their arms around. i love deadliest warrior, but the show is becoming more and more BS.

I haven't seen that one yet. The last one I watched was Vietcong vs. the SS.

That show's only value comes from entertainment. Put no stock in its actual assessments.

I think you are having trouble facing the facts.

I bet you said the same with about the Spetznaz vs. Green Beret too, huh?

i agree with outcome on that one. the sword whip was pretty useless for killing people, but that two handed sword was an absolute beast. so much of the centurion weaponry was meant for army vs army battles and not the 1 vs 1 format of the show. i mean, theres no way that the balista would hit would a single man in open field.

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about because what you consider fancy dancing around was a way of combat for them. They were taught to fight to the death and never give up. They allowed nothing to stop them, and did everything possible to out maneuver their opponents which is where the "fancy dancing around" comes in. Their type of combat style, and weapons were also much more dominant then the Centurions, as the Rajputs had much more training in one on one combat. Please look something up before you decide to just call something you have no understanding of "BS".

yeah, it looked cool, but their shields were crap, and the centurion had a massive shield to guard from those attacks.

in terms of combat effectiveness, dancing is terrible. they would've been gutted if such a match up happened in real life. i love how the show completely ignored the centurion's shield which would've deflected those talons or whatever. and that swinging sword whip? ok.

My main gripe is the Centurian is wearing the wrong armour for the era they took it from (at least from what i recall).

That episode was one of the only ones they got right this season. The Centurion would of won if it was an army vs. army matchup. But in single combat the Rajput had the advantages. Without his army the Centurion, is pretty weak.

The company that made the program the show uses isn't exactly developing top notch games.

I don't put any stock into the results either.

I couldn't believe that shaved metal whip thing they had. Probably the most dissapointing weapon ever on the show.

I think it got 1 (maybe 0) kills in the simulation. To compare: The IRA's slingshot had more kills. And the slingshot isn't even designed to kill.

Even though I doubt the truth behind the results, I think the Roman would have lost.

Roman soldiers were trained to fight well in legions, not by themselves like the Rajput.

So on a one on one fight the Roman would be at a disadvantage.

I thought they got it right. The Roman Centurion fighting style was built mostly around group tactics, so I'm not sure they would have faired so well in a one-on-one. No complaints from me.

The Rajput won because they used weapons that were efficent one on one and they were very skilled at them where the Romans used weapons that where ment to fight as a group and were trained to fight in a group and avoid one on one. In my opinion they didn't match them up properly because one fights alone, the other in a group and then when they fight they do it 1 vs 1. So Don't take the show to seriously
