Are the results on deadliest warrior accurate?

to me it seems there is no way their results are anywhere close to accurate. the warriors who they are studying would use their weapons much more effectively than the people they bring in to test the weapons. there are so many variables like strength and training. every episode is the same, they disagree which is the better warrior, then after every weapon they say holy crap that is a kill shot. tAre the results on deadliest warrior accurate?
No, the show is pretty much complete bullshat. But it is really fun to watch.



I continuesly say that the show should be called deadliest weapon because they do not test the martial art behind the weapon. Example, even though the shaolin monks have the highest kill rate yet, I still think they got shafted because they did not factor the lifetime of hard and powerful MA training.



The same can be said for almost all those battles, excluding the gun fights. Those were just stupid in all respects, ha ha.
I saw a ninja fight a spartan once...it was epic

they just let comanches beat mongols so the answer is no it is not accurate at all

Eh. It's more scientific than the poorly named "Fight Science". It still has problems, though. For starters, it's hard to quantify the training of the actual warriors until you get to the 20th Century stuff. Even the "Shaolin monks" performed in historically inaccurate manners, owing more to modern Wushu than actual traditional Chinese fighting methods. Now some things they can legitimately test, like the cutting power of a katana vs. chain mail (I don't care if you're a samurai fanboy or not, a razor can't cut through chain links). But some of the other tests weren't done in a way that you could actually quantify things, for example the meat-cutting tests, and hardly any were done in a comparitive way. One of my buddies likes to point out that one guy gets to bash a plastic skull, while another faces a block of ballistics gel. That's not very scientific when you're comparing the weapons. But until someone develops a time machine, that's the best thing we have to work with. By and large, it's just for fun, and I gotta laugh at people who take it too seriously.
Depends on what type of accuracy your looking for. As far as measuring the speed, force, and damage of the fighter being tested, they have reached an unparalled level of scientific data collection. They do run 1000 separate simulations where they change the stats on a "generic" fighter and the computer runs the numbers against each other. This seems good in theory, but the problem is, the computer completely forgets terrain the fighters are engaged at (as a slippery ships floor COULD favor a viking against a samurai). Also the fighters endurance isn't figured in, as well as the most important thing that their is NO substitute for, EXPERIENCE. Obviously regardless of what style of fighter you are, a more experienced fighter almost always has the upperhand. The more battles you've fought, the more knowledge you have on how to counter someone who may be stronger, faster, or more talented than yourself. Obviously raw data is all we can measure in this day and age without literally killing someone, but you have to admit, its great fun to speculate, support your favorite style, and see what carnage the weapons can potentially do.
It is as accurate as it can be. There is only so much a Computer can calculate. Things like a persons true skill and tactics can not be calculated accurately.



I do not dislike the show or the results, but realistically it is just entertainment. In the end no it is not completely accurate but it can still be fun to watch when I have the time
no not at all, they would test the weapons and some of them would be direct kill shots, but then once they used them in the reenactment they wouldn't do anything. and you can't put something like that on a computer to get the most accurate you would have to take two actual warriors and which is impossible and would never happen. haha.
by no means is it accurate they do not have a control and without a control what scientific data could you hope to find? ( historical and scientific inaccuracies aside) it is an interesting show it is entertaining however it does start more "who can beat who" arguments than it could ever hope to solve
if it was real you'd get bored and watch Spongebob so they gott liven it up and skew the results. there's no way to test who would win. too many "chances" left out. it's really onlt testing the weapons of combative societies. which they still screw up
The show is kind of amusing, but the "results", and the way they come to those "results" is complete garbage.
