Spetsnaz vs Green beret shouldnt have been as close but it was allright imo. Though i didnt like the draw between the M16?(m4?) and the Ak-74 since in reality the m16 is single shot or burst and couldnt compete with the AK which is auto or burst..M24 vs the SVD wasnt the best either because you can gun down more with the SVD than the m24 anyway >< | ||

You do realize that there was no formal standardized training for samurai in any sense similar to that of, for example, the professional roman army. Yeah it seems as though they are picking categories where there would have been a high degree of variation from individual to individual and from period to period. Presumably they want as much room as possible to fill the show with BS to please the lowest common denominator. This show may be a lot of fun, but I really hope no one who enjoys it allows him/herself to be convinced that any conclusions drawn on the show are valid to ANY extent. If you want low quality entertainment this show is perfect - if you want to learn about military history go to a library. At least then you can make educated conjecture about who would beat whom. Samurai sword technique is no joke...and they were compared to vikings, not roman soldiers. I think when you compare the two in terms of discipline, it's not that hard to see the difference. But yeah, I agree...it's not a great show, but it's dumb fun. | ||

Lock down a Ninja and a Spartan to a closed room where the Spartan can keep his eyes on the ninja, and ninja can't move around. Spartan will win hands down most of the time, unless the somehow lands the glass bomb or w/e it was, seriously blinding him. This again is hard with the Spartan shield, which is massive. In a small space where ninja can't move and hide, it doesen't stand a chance. But if you put down a Ninja vs a Spartan in a forrest like it was in their ''simulation'' Ninja would win hands down. A Spartan can't catch a ninja, it only chance is to kill the ninja with it's ranged weapon, which showed to be quite in-accurate, especially against a agile ninja. The ninja had numerous ways to kill the Spartan silently in a forrest, which is open spaced, plenty of places to hide, plenty of places to take cover. A ninja would win here. He could basically just run, try to shoot him with a poison needle, if it fails, try again, no need to go close combat. The simulation they had was just retarded, I wonder who scripted that fight, but he could have done a better job. First of all, the ninja attacks from behind but doesen't use the needle or a shuriken? He goes toe-to-toe against a Spartan willingly? Of course a Ninja wouldn't know what a Spartan is, but he can see the Spear, the heavy armor and the humongous shield. I didn't know ninjas were retarded. He goes toe-to-toe obviously he get's pushed back. He then retreats into the forrest after throwing glass into Spartans eyes, which the spartan just shrugs off. Then in the forrest, for some reason, the ninja jumps out from it's hiding place for no apparent reason, and THEN starts throwing shurikens towards the spartan, which of course, deflects all of them. Sorry for the rant, it was just ridicolous lol. Seriously, common sense would answer who wins that fight, no need for ''experts'' and ''state-of-the-art'' computers. But yea, it's more for the entertaiment then actual facts. | ||

Ok seriously what on earth do you really know about samurai, their swords, and their training? You are getting all your prejudices from pop culture samurai mystique. Why don't you do some serious historical research if you want to be able to discuss samurai or vikings in a knowledgeable fashion. Glad you agree about the quality of the show though :p | ||
