Knights or Pirates?

[Kaellpae]

Just watched the episode of Knights and Pirates. I figured that Pirates would win with the better technology for their weapons, but with the testing they did I think that the Knights would have ended up beating the Pirates.

Opinions?

Also. Which is your favorite?

I go for the Knights 100%, take the guns away and the Pirates stand no chance against a Knight's superior training, great courage and absolutely lethal weapons like swords, falchions, maces, shields, morning stars and clubs =)

Deadliest Warrior is a very strange show sometimes- The Knights should have been compared to Viking warriors or maybe the Samurai, why against something completely different to them, like Pirates??

Go, Knights!!!

I had the exact reaction you did Kaellpae. At first I thought the guns would swing it but their testing seemed to lean in the knights favor. It all depends on the situation, I think.

And I love both, but knights are my favorite.

Depends on the setting. If they're fighting from ship to ship on the high seas, I give the Pirates the win. If they're confronting one another on an open field somewhere, the Knights may carry the day.

That is the worst episode of Deadliest Warrior ever - at least in terms of results. They didn't test the gun against the shield, and they gave the cutlass a tie with the longsword, even though it didn't cut through the pig - the last inch tore because the cutlass wasn't as long.

My money in a real fight, based on those same weapons, goes to the knight. Most likely, they didn't use real black powder but a safer new concoction that wouldn't blow up in their face (not that I blame them). I also don't think the handcannon would break through both the shield and the armor, but that it broke through the armor is the only reason that they won.

@JC: The Ninjas fought Spartan soldiers one on one in another episode, that was fun =)
