[@gamerzgod123]

Just adding some corrective facts about some parts of the video and ignoring the horror that is the pronunciation. 1. Morning stars were spiked, true enough. What isn't true is that the difference between a mace and a morning star is that maces use metal studs. Lots of maces had metal flanges and bits that protruded out, somewhere in between the spikes of a morning star and the blunt studs of some maces. The theory was that having these small flanges protrude from it would decrease the surface area, and make it easier to bite into enemy armour, transferring more blunt force into them. 2. War scythes couldn't cut through metal helmets. Nothing really can, unless it's a really shoddy helmet to begin with. That's why late medieval weaponry used lots of stabbing and blunt force implements, to stab in between the gaps in armour and the weak points, and blunt force just bypasses armour all together. That's one of the main appeals of the halberd, it can stab and also transfer a tremendous amount of force into a person, some even had a hammer side to do so. 3. At 4:52 those are Chinese weapons, none of those relate to the bardiche at all. I see a Shaolin Spade wielded by Shaolin monks in the centre, a spear to the right of that, a Ji to the right of the spear, which is essentially a Chinese halberd, and to the very right is a Guan Dao, which as far as my knowledge goes was more of a folklore weapon wielded by War Legend Guan Yu than an actual battle implement. And at 5:12 those are all examples of late medieval halberds, not bardiches. Bardiches were used primarily in the Slavic countries of the time, Eastern Europe. Halberds were more prevalent in the Western side of Europe. 4. Mauls weren't just mindlessly swung by raging barbarians, that's how you get killed. There are manuals and techniques to using mauls and large two handed war hammers. You parry with the head of the hammer, block with the shaft, and do quick thrusts exposed areas to minimize risk. You can strike with the butt end of the shaft and quickly pivot to do a sharp blow to the upper body, or counter after a block with the shaft by torquing the entire hammer clockwise or counter-clockwise toward the enemy, striking with the head. Just because it's heavy doesn't mean you can just swing it wildly. 5. A flintlock pistol is not a smaller one handed version of a blunderbuss. It's more akin to an arquebus or a musket. As stated, a blunderbuss is like the historical version of a shotgun, a flintlock pistol is a pistol, it fired a single lead ball at high velocities, the blunderbuss fired many pieces of whatever you stuffed inside.

"violent farmers" The invention of these weapons had nothing to do with how "violent" the farmers were. It had to do with how much they didn't want to get murdered when they were victims of a raid, and couldn't afford (or weren't allowed to have) professional grade weapons.

The wide opening of the blunderbuss is not designed for spreading the shrapnels but for easy reloading on unstable ground like sitting on a coach box, shaken around while trying to escape bandits with high speed. Or standing on the planks of a ship during a battle.

8. The morning star was never a "primary method of attack". And used to hit head or knees, that's pretty hard to hit, how about an arm to break it? 7. The hunga munga is not one most deadly melee weapons in history. 6. In the hands of the sikh those were actually really effective, I'll give you that. 5. Lots of people have said how ridiculous this is, it is not even a good weapon. 2. The maul is not that good, it's slow and if you miss you're dead. They're funny these weapons, but if you discount the blunderbuss I'd happily pit a spear man against a wielder of any of them. That's why spears were arguably the most used weapon on the battlefield.

[@sbraypaynt]

Oh my god.... "War Sith" Congratulations America

[@killgora1]

Ok just to correct something on the war scythe. No a war scythe could not cut through a metal helmet. No blade can. If it was that easy to cut through armor why wear it at all? You can't just usual cut through steel like that. Especially if it's a heat treated piece of armor. In fact bladed weapons are the least effective, when cutting at least, against armor. That's why many medieval arms like the ,war scythe halberd and bill, often had hooks and such in order to try to grapple onto armor. Sword techniques such as half sword ,which tried to get into the gaps of armor, were used becasue you can't cut through plate. Even with a really sharp longsword. Just thought I would point that out, because there's a big misconception as to how effective armor then was. Even a war bow had a hard time making it through most armor of the period. That said the war scythe is still and awesome weapon.

[@samlancaster3130]

killgora1 alright alright I see where your getting from but you have to take consideration of strength, speed, momentum, sharpness, and angle

[@killgora1]

Even with those things in consideration you still can't make it through a steel helmet like it was an aluminum can. Even mild steel wouldn't be cut open that easily. Let alone a properly heat treated medium steel helmet that people would be most likely using. If armor was that ineffective there would be now point in using it especially such a critical target like the head.

[@samlancaster3130]

killgora1 alright I see but look they have armor to lesson the blows, well how many times do you think knights meet up with a crazed farmer on cocaine swinging around a giant bladed thing, not often that being said its difficult to cut through metal yes but vikings were able to break shields with there weapons because of strength

[@killgora1]

I think you underestimate the strength of a shield as well. Even the strongest viking couldn't just break a shield, unless it was put together poorly. If you could break through a shield with brute strength then why use it? A good shield was made of light, but strong wood, covered with linen, and in the case of vikings had the edges reinforced. If a shield was used during the duration of an entire battle then yeah you could break through a shield, but the vikings strength probably had little to do with it rather the barrage of many blows whether they were strong or not. Arms and armor were designed off of what worked. If something didn't work then it was rarely used if at all.

Antoine Hampton TAKE IT EASY

[@theultimatehangover7576]

Chakram - "chaw - kram" Scythe - "s - Eye -th" Nunchaku - "nun- chah - koo" Bardiche - "bar - deesh" Mauls weren't designed to be weapons, they were just sledge hammers. Troops would bring them about to hammer in posts for defenses and on occasion use them as last ditch weapons in ambush situations. The flaring of a blunderbuss barrel is designed specifically to spread the shot as muskets didn't have any reliable accuracy. Because of this, these were far superior anti-siege and boarding weapons compared to the common musket as they were designed specifically to be used in closed spaces. "Shrapnel wounds" are usually enough to get the troops who weren't turned to stew in the blast, to retreat. Would you keep fighting if you were suddenly blind, deaf, and missing most of your face? Also, only the first couple images of the bardiche are accurate and most of the morning stars depicted were simply just maces. Not a morning star without the round head, and the only advantage a morning star has over a common mace is the added weight (and "advantage" is relative in that context.)

[@Grigeral]

@DyingCharisma - The actual name of the weapon is a Bardiche (pronounced Bar-deesh). It's basically just a pole-axe. Not really sure why that would make it one of the most badass of weapons... The naginata is typically more badass. According to my old Jujitsu sensei, it was initially used to take out the legs of a horse and could potentially take out all 4 in one stroke when used properly.

[@RockmeHellsing]

War Sythes were never used like that... I study medival Weapons and Fighting styles. This Weapon was used to Cut into the Knees, Arm pitts, Hipps and gabs on the troat. Most useful against unarmored enemys. But if you had an fully amored night this Weapon is near useless if you are not quick as Hell to find the Tiny holes under the arms or in the legs. But even when you find it you need a stong cut, because in the Late periods of the medival warstategies there was a layer of cloth (gambeson,) and a Mail armor to cut through and this is not easy or not possible if the Mail is strong enough and rivited. Oh and almost no bladed Weapon can cut through armor, helmets had more that 2 mm of steel in thickness.Where who be the point to wear armor and a mail, and a gambeson under it. I have an armor at home and when you have all the layers over you not the weight is the worst. The high Temperature is. A two handed beadet axe or a Hellebard Axe can can cut though a helmet but then You stuck into the armor and dont have time to pull out your Weapon, so you are very dead. And hammers and maces of all sorts are Good against armour because the blow is so hard that it break Bones underneath the armor or cause inner Bleedings. And to the War sythe again: I fought with this thing and i can say you never stab with it because it breaks really soon on armor. And there is no point to stab with it because its unpractikal.

[@TheKahn14]

Yes finally someone with actual facts.

[@RockmeHellsing]

i hope my englisch is good enogh i come from germany and im here in medival groups, fighting groups and so on. I´ve trained with many many weapon styles: Dan Axe (from the Viking Beserks), Mace and Flail, Warhammer, Hellebard Murderaxe (Pole Axe in englisch its a axe head on one side a hammer on the other and above a pointy blade) Longsword, Claymore Spear, War scyche, Shield ( also Buckler), Sabre and Florett, Differend daggers, a Two handed Flammberge (a very long sword from the mercanaries from the 16th century in German named Landsknechte) And i have a armor in style of 1450 and can change it to a style of 1000 because i just have to war the gambeson another helmet and the chainmail. So i know what i speak from. some of these vids are just not right in theyre discriptions i had seen a vid where erey weapon had the false use based on legends...i mean only because a bloodline into a sword to make it light is named like this its primary use wasnt to let blood run in it. And Chainmail cannot protect you from being shopt with an arrow thats just a myth, every arrow shot with 60 pounds (whats not a great strengh for bows) can go throught mail but not always though mail gambeson and plate its like a onion, more layerequals more protection but also more heat and weight and aftera certain point the mobility is ver restricted by your condition. the heavyest armor we know was made in the late 15th century in Itali it weight over 48 kg for a man that was 185 cm big this is some weight man, my armor weigts with chain 30 kilogramm and its tough to fight inthis for over 5 minutes because it exaust you quick. maybe i could get you some new informations and maybe it was interesting.

Blunderbuss were muzzle loading guns designed for use on ships, where the bell shaped muzzle aided loading when the vessel was rocking.

The weapon could be thrown or used as a punching weapon, depending on the design. Technically, a pistol could also be used in hand-to-hand combat in the form of the pistol-whip, in which you use the butt of the pistol and smack someone upside the head with it. A rifle could also be used in hand-to-hand combat, as either a makeshift club or if it were fixed with a bayonet.

[@paulableman2663]

So a long, light "aerodynamic" scythe is supposed to cut through a steel helmet? No. Disregarding the fact that "war scythes" were mainly a sporting weapon (like a modern fencing foil), they could not slice through a steel helmet. Maybe, and this is a big maybe, the tip could be used to church-key a hole in a helmet with a particularly hard swing. But to say that they could magically shear through steel helmets willy nilly is as ridiculous as saying that you could fell an old oak tree with an axe made from balsa wood.

They are pretty much obvious halberds.

Raving squirlz 1, Ok but there should be right information if you are going to make a video on it... If there isn't any truth then why watch it, its just lies. Plus you didn't have to have an attitude in your post, you're just being plain bitchy.

[@superIBM1231]

Gísli Stefán the mourning star was a real weapon which was very effective

[@leoscar999]

Gísli Stefán you are bullshit

[@MiskyWilkshake]

The morning star was by no metric the primary method of attack for Medieval infantry and horsemen. The hunga munga is not by any measure one of the most deadly melee weapons in history. 100m was not a frightening range for by the 2nd century BC. Your pronunciation is awful. Aerodynamics does not play a significant role in the effectiveness of a polearm weapon. War scythes (farming equipment often converted in secret under pain of death) were in no way regularly more "durable and resilient" than their professionally-crafted contemporaries as you suggest. War scythes would not regularly have been capable of cutting through metal helmets. Almost no bladed weapons are. Warhammers were rarely two-handed, and almost never as heavy as a modern sledgehammer. There is absolutely strategy and technique to fighting with a warhammer. For one thing, they're rarely 'swing-and-it's-over' weapons as you imply; since they were primarily used against heavily armoured opponents, using a warhammer generally meant you were prepared to close and grapple with your opponent. With the exception of the firearms, none of these weapons drastically changed the face of warfare and combat like bows, mail, rapiers, etc did.

Putting that Elder Scrolls knowledge to work, I see. Very good.

[@windex7934]

The music fit so well😭by the way what's it called?

[@maxmac5622]

Windex check the description

[@noirkrahe]

speaking as a martial artist, the nunchucks, or nunchaku were never used in battle or war. they were primarily for fighting one on one or one against many opponents. I must also point out that they weren't actually weapons, the fast flailing movements were often used to distract opponents.

[@TheAsylum100]

So the dark side trained all the siths in use of this weapon then ?

[@24kFilter]

"Hunga Munga." I'm dead 😂

[@nicklas425]

Love how you called them nunchakus instead of nunchucks

[@i8u2manytimes]

Nicklas Slone original translation is nunchaku but eventually people dropped the last part...both are correct

[@nicklas425]

i8u2manytimes well both are correct but that's like saying calling all martial arts karate is correct, it's just something us lazy westerners did

[@i8u2manytimes]

oh I though u were making fun of how he said nunchaku, my bad

[@nicklas425]

i8u2manytimes it's fine

[@sjus4537]

A name like Elite Facts .. and a video like this .. something's not right ..

[@ashbydawn3113]

Im Part Russian and I Knew Nothing About The Battle Axe Thing xD

[@emiliaross2244]

Ashley Riverstream I can see why. It's apparently not very well known.

[@shaynecarter-murray3127]

It was in Diablo II lol. And apparently during the early 1900s there was a russian military unit with long rifles and these bardiches, slighty customized to be used as a rifle rest for more accurate firing (like a shootin' stick) and then used in melee when ammo ran out. This is of course according to The Internet, so I'm not saying its true.

[@Skeptical_Numbat]

Lots of inaccuracies (not the least were the errors of pronunciation: It's a *Sc • Y • the* , not a *S • i • th* ). Also, several of the *War Axes* shown in the video are actually *Lochaber Axes* (with a wide, curve edged & berded blade raising to a spiked top, mounted _parallel_ to it's heavy handle) and not *Bardiches* , which had the lower end of the blade affixed to a long handle in addition to the main mounting.

[@lupusetmatrem7078]

Actually, a throwing star wasn't a very effective cause they weren't very accurate and they didn't do to much damage. Instead, sharpened chopsticks, hairpins and war fans were much more effective.

[@lupusetmatrem7078]

And yes, hairpins and fans can be very deadly.

[@schoenbaum]

tessen are fans with metal ribs and hair pins of the day where quite long and where used as bo shuriken how ever who the fuck said SHURIKEN (as you call them throwing stars) arnt vary accurate. hira shuriken (the multi pointed type of shuriken) where much easier to throw and stick in the target your right they dont do as much damage as some other tools but the ease of use made up for that and where primarily used as a distraction its not the only tool one would bring to work

[@lupusetmatrem7078]

eli s I guess i did not take that into consideration.

[@aceskeletonne7446]

correct me if I'm wrong but I think, shurikens or throwing stars were used as annoyances or distractions rather than killing

[@iaarsoismdiab7620]

Ace Skeletonne You are completely correct

[@Wordsmith00]

Finally you mentioned something I can wield. The Nunchaku.

[@BoneViolyn]

thumbnail was a lie.

John Long It's been 3 months but if you still haven't figured out: Go to add-ons, look up Video Blocker and download it, then click on the icon in the top right corner and type in the channel you want to block.

[@ExDragonMaster]

Regarding farmers' tools becoming weapons, farmers being "violent" could explain it. But I suspect it was something more; especially in Japan. Peasants were often outright banned from having swords and other weapons. Necessity was often a reason to convert farmer's tools to create weapons and techniques to use in self defense. (The sai, the nunchaku, and the kama; even Karate come to mind for this).

[@The1TheOnlyTrey]

You commonly mispronounce words on many of your videos.... Tons of your comments point it out so you have no reason to not do more research (which would only take an extra 20-30 minutes to lend more credibility to the videos.). Please consider this bc I feel you would have more repeat viewers. On a positive note, I do enjoy the videos and I appreciate the planning it would take to make them, but with pronunciation fixes and less clickbait tactics (bc i would still watch without the clickbait and it would completely do away with my disappointment due to not seeing that weird glove weapon on this particular video) I believe it could be top class. Thanks for sharing these interesting videos and I look forward to you taking it to the next level. Keep up the good work (mostly)!!!!

[@reedalbright4549]

Wow! I know a lot of kids are fascinated by weapons of this sort. I'm almost 50 and still fascinated! It's alright to post vids like this, and we all enjoy them, but please refrain from giving specs about things you know nothing about. It will only lead to ridicule and plenty of comments like all those above. A blunderbuss, by the way, was and is an extremely accurate weapon that holds a very tight pattern, very much like a current 12 gauge with a full choke. The reason for the bell at the end of the muzzle was for speed and ease of loading. It did not affect the spread of the chosen shot upon discharge.

[@Im_a_Hom0ph0be]

let me call in my friend, he's an expert. .

[@calobta9190]

I like Scythes, I even made a blueprint for making a double scythe that can also turn into a bow

[@sampellegrino808]

Its pronounced like nun-chuck, not nun-cha-koo 😂😂😂

[@blaze556922]

Wrong... he said that one correctly. Look it up.

[@lucas5530]

Sam Pellegrino it can be pronounced nunchuku 😬😬😬😬

[@christiancasaverdepertica1802]

7:24 correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a flintlock pistol a smaller version of a musket, if anything?

[@thegreatfurbyboy8479]

nun-chuk-oo 😂

thats the real name why are you laughing 😅

[@NZpower018]

''the hunga munga may sound like something that comes straight out of the lion king'' lmao where did he get that idea?

[@zazooflores]

didn't Zena use #6?

[@calebdragonborn7564]

the blunderbuss wasn't the world's first shotgun, it was the world's first smoke grenade.

Why? They made most of it

[@makyahkreis965]

There is no way you have got this far in life without hearing the word Scythe pronounced properly.

[@ravenzeal4848]

You guys need fact checkers, speech coaching, and someone who knows what they are doing when they gather up images. The time you spent talking about the Bardiche, which your butchered the name of I might add, you chose to show a slew of pole arms from China and western Europe. Do more than five minutes of research when you talk about things. This is just embarrassing.

[@maj_maas]

The narrator most likely just got a script and quickly started recording.

"Nunchockoo"? Tis' nunchaku, sir!

I'm pretty sure the Nunchaku being farming tools originally was disproven
