Ten Greatest. . . Weapons -TV last night

Well they were onto it when they put the human brain at #1.

A lot of the other shit was completely irrelevant - especially the "Walter" PPK. That's just hollyweird movie hype...

The boomerang??? WORLD changing and influence? Pfffft.
I thought that "the knife" and "the club" would have been in there somewhere though... but if you are looking for ease of use and "no training required" perhaps we would have seen "the broken beer bottle" or "the jandal"?

Monty Python had it right with "pointy sticks"...

The only other programme they have correct so far has been Fighters. P-51 Mustang!

I call it worlds greatest opinions. Entertaining.

Thought the martial art demo was wing chun (didnt here what they called it). The long bow section featured plenty of shots of short bows and the chap was using a 32" target arrow.

Ohh I didn’t know they’d made you.

Have you done the exhaust mod yet?

Watch out for pesky rebels trying to fly X-wings up your crack if not.

I just got into the programme with the Long Bow. Now that was a weapon with impact. The Battle of Agincourt. http://www.geocities.com/beckster05/.../AgBattle.html

Not too sure if they included the horse but from a historical perspective that would have to be the number one weapon and the Roman gladius second.

As for that Wing whatever as the number one Marlial art. That's bullshit.

It's the same Wank that made the Honda Cub the best Top 10 motorcycle in the world, very disappointed. So 40 Million were made, ....who cares? And these were "experts", not.

We're not here for trick questions, greatest ever. What the fuck was that anyway - that was poorest "greatest ever"... well, ever! Lame.

**avgas** · 6th January 2006, 18:57

how come they f'ed up every single one of those top ten?
At least they included the AK47 (weapons) and the T72 (war vehicles).........but im still pissed.
Where was the axe? Used for millions of years, still in use today....by millions of people.

The longbow, now there's a battlewinner. Would have been nice if they also noted that was where the "up yours" 2 finger salute comes from. The English archers would give this salute to the french as proof that they still had their bow-drawing fingers and would be able to fight. When caught the froggie bastards would cut the fingers off to prevent this awesome weapon from being used.

The loser of the next war should have to keep france as punishment...

that wing chun kung fu is the real deal when a properly trained person uses it , the guy last night poorly represented cause ive never seen fuckers breaking boards doing it .
im over 100 kg and a small dude from hong kong demonstarted a 1" punch on me , i thought hed be fulloshit , i got knocked over and landed on my arse real hard and i was ready for it , he said its no chi and bullshit just a good technique with over 20 years practice , it takes over 5 years to be real good at wing chun which in this modern world is to long , so ill have that snipers rifle thanks , i got rabbits im trying to shoot and my bang bang is slightly outa range

As I have been a crash test dummy for about 10 different martial arts trainers (long story, why do people like hurting me?) I can say with a little experience that they all fuckin hurt!
I'd go with the death star, change the name tho, I like "Deathtical" too long to fit on a personalised plate tho...
