It completely shattered the skull but was broken against the helmet. The war club, wielded by Snake Blocker, was then tested on two targets: a bare skull and a Gladiator's helmet. Steven Dietrich was able to almost cut off a gel arm with the sica, cutting cleanly through skin and muscle tissue to the bone. For special weapons, the sica was tested against the war club.The edge was given to the bow and arrow due to its superior range, accuracy, and lethality. Tafoya then fired multiple arrows at a gel torso in quick succession, landing multiple death strikes, including a shot between two ribs, a shot to the neck that would have severed the spinal cord, and a shot along the jawline that would have jutted into the base of the brain. Alan Tafoya, wielding the bow and arrow, first fired an arrow at a wooden target as the velocity of the arrow was clocked the arrow's velocity was measured at roughly 65 miles per hour. The shot was then simulated by an air cannon which drove a lead slingshot into a gel head and shattered the upper jaw, penetrating just past the nose. Steven Dietrich launched a lead slingshot at 91 mph. For long-range weapons, the sling was tested against the bow and arrow.The trident and net was given the edge due to its flexibility as an offensive-defensive combo. The trident, wielded by Chris Torres, was then tested on a gel torso and managed to puncture its heart with the main prong, a side prong puncturing the spleen. Snake Blocker also demonstrated Apache knife fighting techniques, such as the "piercing buffalo", on a dummy garbed as a gladiator and wearing a gladiator's helmet. The knife's versatility was demonstrated when Snake Blocker threw three knives at three targets in under three seconds. For mid-range weapons, the knife was tested against the trident and net.A divided panel gave the edge to the versatility of the tomahawk. Before the cestus test, Chuck Liddell's natural punching speed and power were measured: Liddell's punching speed was clocked at 14 meters per second-almost 50 percent faster than the average Olympic boxer-while his punching power was judged to deliver 1000 pounds of force-enough to break most facial bones on contact. The cestus broke its ribs while the scissor almost cut it in half. The cestus and scissor, wielded by Chuck Liddell, were tested on a 400-lb piece of beef. Alan Tafoya then threw iron tomahawks at wood targets and penetrated deep into them, two striking at 29 mph, and one at 32 mph. The velocity of the stone tomahawk was measured, but the results were not relayed on the airing of the show. However, the tomahawk made from a horse's jawbone visually appeared to cause considerably greater damage. Snake Blocker tested two types of tomahawk on a gel head: one made of stone and one made of the jaw bone of a horse, both of which tore off the back of the head. For short-range weapons, the tomahawk was tested against the cestus and the scissor.This was done so that the gladiator would be able to compete at different ranges, normally unnecessary in that they had one weapon combination (sword and shield, trident and net, etc.) and only fought other gladiators of opposite classes to optimize the entertainment. Though gladiators were class based and each had designated weapons, for this episode a generalized gladiator was used that combined weapons and armor of different classes.Gladiator statistics: Height: 5 feet, 8 inches Weight: 185 lbs Gear Weight: Ranges from 10 lbs to 38 lbs Gladiator armor: Murmillo Helmet, Wooden Shield Gladiator weapons: Cestus, Scissor, Trident & Net, Sling, Sica Gladiator team: Chris Torres (Ancient Weapons Specialist), Steven Dietrich (Gladiator Combat Instructor), Chuck Liddell (The Iceman) Army Combat Instructor)Īpache weapons: Tomahawk, Knife, Bow & Arrow, War ClubĪpache statistics: Height: 5 feet, 7 inches Weight: 140 lbs Gear Weight: 10 pounds Gladiator Īpache team: Alan Tafoya (World Champion Knife Fighter), Snake Blocker (U.S. Season 1 was released on DVD and Blu-ray on May 11, 2010.
