@@spunn_co that is untrue. A weapon (every weapon longer than a knife) is all about balance. No matter how used you are to your weapon, it will not matter because your opponent will be used to his. And if it is lighter and faster, he will be faster than you and he will have more stamina. A weapon is not supposed to be heavy. Did you know a mace is not much heavier than a sword? It is just balanced differently.

People were stronger back then. Someone would’ve loved that heavy mace

[@Sombody123]

You can use it for longer and you can block, parry, deflect, aim more accurately, control your swings/edge alignment better, avoid overswing, telegraph less, give less time for the enemy to react and change directions much better with a lighter weapon. And it wouldn't be less devastating because you can give a lighter weapon more velocity to generate force.

[@edi9892]

@@abrakadabra9210 a one handed sword weights 1kg up to 1.5. A one handed axe or mace rarely exceeds 1kg! It's due to their respective weight distribution. Sure something 2x as heavy would crush armour better, but it will exhaust you much faster and is likely to make you too slow!

[@Sockan256]

Actually not correct at all. Medieval maces were about the same weight as swords. It's not a question of how much weight, but where the weight on the weapon is centered. Usually maces are more front heavy to deliver more energy into the hit. Sure you have heavy maces. You also have heavy swords, but on average they were actually very similar in weight.

But a weapon needs to be something for the everyday warrior and man can use,something not to heavy but well balanced in the old times people were more ahead of time and crafted not only blades and shields but everything in a way anyone can use. Even if you needed warriors you would want all of them big or small able to use the tools you are given for combat.

@@feferson492 not necessarily, the added weight increases the amount of force bludgeoning weapons carry. You don’t need to swing more times if you can incapacitate your enemy in fewer blows obviously. The judges pretty much just prefer lighter weapons, which is fine I just don’t understand why the show chooses to focus on sometimes controversial reasons for someone losing rather than something that’s objective like how one weapon wasn’t damaged at all in the durability testing while the other was.

[@generalkenobi6748]

Fun fact: Tabar Shishpar in Farsi means "Six-edged axe"

[@funkkymonkey6924]

I like how the one guy lost, just because his weapon was heavy... even though the mass was a clear advantage. I mean, the damage it did to the armor was to the point where the guy inside would likely not be able to breathe, compared to the mild deformation of the light weapon.

[@Rulupaul]

First of all, any weapon should be as light as possible. They're easier to control and carry that way. Second. The guy didn't lose just cause of the weight. His weapon picked up a very small deformation, whereas the lighter one didn't pick up any damage. Yes, the heavy one did more damage to the armour, but that test is just about strength (not breaking when hit)

[@jaxoncooper3354]

@@Rulupaul No, not every weapon should be as light as possible. It should be controllable but being heavier doesn't make it uncontrollable. This weapon had an axe and mace portion to it, both weapons are meant to be heavy hard hitters and Chris' weapon matched that perfectly. It is perfect in a fight as long as the person using it is strong. If you value weight over ability and damage, this weapon is not supposed to be used by you. In comparison Chris' weapon destroys in the kill test and the tiniest bit of glinting won't change that. That's why in my opinion, Chris presented a weapon that was a parfect Tabar Shispar and he should have won. Also side note, don't start your comment with "Ehm" it makes everyone hate hearing your opinions so much more and makes your argument seem way nerdier.

[@MarginalSC]

@@jaxoncooper3354 Very few people are Guan Yu.

[@tiredpaladin1644]

I think its a very strict trade off, if you think about the damage the heavy one would be closer to a 1 hit kill or cripple shot which is obviously the best outcome. I mean the hammer portion punctured the armor on a helmet that man is dead before he hits the ground. However, if you're fighting in a pitched battle how many swings can you get off before the weight starts to make you slow and a quicker fresher enemy is able to slip past your guard. Just one of the trade offs you should consider, it definitely shouldn't be as light as possible but light enough that you can maintain your stamina whilst heavy enough to take the fewest strikes to kill

[@inzektorider]

It's hard to say for sure since we don't know anyone alive today who personally trained with and used this weapon in a combat situation, but I would venture to guess that the lighter weight weapon forged in this episode would have been more desirable since you would be able to swing it faster and more frequently without injuring or tiring yourself out, especially if it was intended to be a 1-handed weapon as I suspect. If I were betting on two fighters of identical physique and training with this weapon, and one was using Chris's heavier version and the other was using Mark's lighter one, I would put more money on Mark's. As for the results of the strength test, both of them did pretty severe damage to the armor, enough that I would suspect the wearer in both cases would be similarly injured or at least stunned. It's not clear if this weapon ever even encountered plate armor like this; if the expected combatants in the original context of the weapon were more lightly armored, the advantage conferred by additional weight of the weapon would be considerably less.

Doug did not say "it will keel" he said "it will kill" like a normal person. Dissapointing

(tabar) means axe and (shishpar) means six feathers. This is Persians farsi. Cool weapon that i haven't seen ever and i am Persian

[@Batman-zc4ui]

They both are singular weapons on their own. Mix them together and boom! You have a tabar shishpar

[@nobblechoklad]

don't want to accidentally break the whole thing before the actual testing you know.

Try jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge into the water. You'll be dead as the soft water acts like concrete. Also, it's the same reason why not all trees break in a storm. Sift doesn't mean its not strong. And has the studio tests show, the weapon stayed sharp and did not break.

Instead of doubling the tube with a much thicker tube like Christopher did, inserting a wooden rod would have done the job just as well with much less weight. Then, he could have also quenched the shaft. Dough tested Mark's weapon first and noted how light it was. That's the moment when Mark won. Only a catastrophic failure could have prevented him from wining.
