Mughal Warrior: The Muslim conqueror of India who ruled for nearly 400 years.
(A Mughal is seen dueling with a Rajput eventually slicing his throat with his talwar.)
vs.
Scottish Highlander: Fierce Gaelic speaking titans who fought for Scottish independence.
(Highlanders are seen charging at a group of English knights with their claymores.)
WHO IS DEADLIEST?
To find out, we've assembled a team of world class fighters to test history's most lethal weapons. Using 21st century science, we'll see what happens when two warriors go toe to toe.
No rules. No safety. No mercy. It's a duel to the death to decide who is…THE DEADLIEST WARRIOR!
Last time both warriors emerged victorious in a brutal hard fought battle...
(The Mughal slits the English Longbowman's throat with his bichuwa.)
...but now, what will happen when they are plucked from their respective time periods to face off against each other?
(The Highlander thrusts his claymore down into the Spartan's eye.)
Here in our elite fight club we have gathered doctors, medical scientists and weapons experts to test out the lethal arsenals wielded by each of our combatants to determine who would win a fight between two warriors who never met in a face to face duel:
Mughal Warrior
Circa: 1600 A.D.
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 160 lbs.
Armor: Kavacha Plated Mail, Steel Helmet, Dhal Shield
Scottish Highlander:
Circa: 1350
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 175 lbs.
Armor: Chainmail
"We are back, Match four of back for blood." Mack starts off. "Today, the Islamic Mughal Warrior takes on the Fierce Titan of the Scottish highlands."
"This is going to be a very interesting match to see." Geoff says. "A fierce and brutal conqueror vs. A proud warrior who fights for his independence."
"The Mughal defeated the Longbowman, can he defeat the highlander?" Dorian says. "The Mughal will be in for quite a battle! Let's get this started boys."
The fierce conquerors bring about a lethal arsenal that ensured their dominance over the land:
Short Range: Talwar
Mid-Range: Mughal Mace
Long Range: Indian Composite Bow
Special: Bichuwa
In turn, The Gallic speaking titan carried a deadly arsenal that slayed many Englishmen.
Short Range: Scottish Broadsword
Mid-Range: Claymore
Long Range: English Longbow
Special: Target Shield & Dirk Dagger
For close range combat, both warriors relied on swords of different designs to slaughter their enemies.
The team will now test each sword against armor. Experts Bahajneet Singh and Keiron Elliot stand ready with their respective swords.
"Alright, you guys will each attack a torso wearing your opponent's respective armor. A slash and a stab okay guys?"
"You got it." Both experts reply.
Both experts then walk up to their targets. Kieron swings his broadsword at his target which is outfitted in the Mughal's kavacha plated mail. The blade pounces off a steel plate leaving a dent. Bahajneet does the same with his talwar but his blade harmlessly scratches the chainmail of the highlander's. Both experts then proceed to stab their respective targets with both plates achieving penetration.
Doctor Dorian walks over to inspect the damage. "Okay, both slashes at the armors didn't do much. The Scottish Broadsword only dented a plate while the talwar scratched a few chainmail links. Both stabs did achieve penetration but not much. The broadsword achieves an inch and a half of penetration while the talwar went an inch in. Only cuts here gentleman."
The team has now seen both weapons perform against each other's armor, which gets the edge?
"I wanted to give the broadsword the edge but even if it doesn't do much against chainmail, I'm with the talwar due to sheer cutting power." Geoff started off.
"I'll go with the Scottish broadsword." Dorian countered. "More options with its stab and slash effectiveness and goes deeper into armor. The talwar is too one-dimensional."
The tie breaker fell down to Mack.
"I'm even on it boys. One is the better slasher while the other is the better thruster. It depends on who gets the first hit, edge even."
In short range weapons, our warriors are even.
For mid-ranged combat, it came down to a brutal wrecking ball and a large sword. The Mughal's mace and the Highlander's claymore.
The team reviews weapons testing of both warrior's weapons in action. They conclude that while the mace will destroy the highlander's chainmail, the claymore will completely obliterate the Mughal's armor.
"Yeah, edge claymore." Geoff started off. "More power behind and more blade gives you options compared to the Mughal's mace which is bludgeon only."
"That and the sheer cutting power of the claymore will destroy the Mughal's armor. The claymore is well, just brutal and deadly need I say more?" Dorian says.
"You guys took the words out of my mouth. Edge claymore." Mack finishes.
In mid-ranged weapons, the highlander takes the edge with the claymore.
For long range combat, both warriors used legendary bows. The Indian Composite Bow of the Mughal and the English Longbow of the Highlander.
The team now reviews the testing of each weapon and come to a decision.
"We had this comparison before but things are different now." Geoff starts. The Mughal is trained well with his bow while the highlander's took theirs from dead longbowmen. Edge Indian Composite bow."
"Agreed, a trained archer vs. an untrained one, obvious who wins that one. Edge Indian Composite bow." Dorian says.
"Agreed, also it possesses superior armor piercing power, edge Indian Composite bow." Mack concluded.
In long range weapons, the Mughal takes the edge with the Indian Composite bow.
XXXXXXX
For special weapons, it's a lethal scorpion sting dagger vs. a lethal dagger and shield combination. The Mughal bichuwa and the Highlander's targe & dirk combo.
The team reviews the testing of both weapons in action and the vote is as easy as ever.
"Yeah, targe & dirk all the way. That spike will punch through the Mughal's armor. Edge targe & dirk." Geoff said.
"Agreed, that combo is so deadly especially that damn spike on the shield. Edge targe & dirk." Dorian said.
"With you guys on this one, edge targe & dirk." Mack finishes.
In special weapons, the Highlander gets the edge with his targe & dirk combo.
Coming up, two deadly victors return to the battlefield in a clash against new opponents to determine who will be 'The Deadliest Warrior.'
XXXXXXXXXX
"Let's review the x-factors now." Mack said.
"For training, the Mughal had a 96 to the Highlander's 77."
"For physicality, the Mughal had a 91 to the Highlander's 87."
"For ferocity, the Mughal was rated a 94 to the Highlander's 93."
"For killer instinct, the Highlander has a 100 to the Mughal's 92."
"Lastly, we will factor intimidation. Both were vicious foes who fought mercilessly in battle. Both will have a 93 each."
Our scientists and weapons experts are done testing the results and the time has come to decide who will be the victor. To ensure the battle won't be decided by a single lucky blow, the battle will be simulated one thousand times in a duel to the death.
Who will win between two vicious and ferocious warriors?

Fighting for independence
(Highlanders are seen standing victorious over the corpses of English knights.)
"I'm excited for match five of back for blood. Let's see who is our 'Deadliest' Warrior. " Mack says flipping the switch.

We are brought to the Scottish highlands. A lone Mughal Warrior on a scouting mission. Him and his army have already conquered England and have advanced up into the highlands.
He continues walking when he comes across an open field with a hill in the distance. In the field lay the bodies of dead English knights. The Mughal ignores the sight and continues walking.
Suddenly, an arrow nearly hits him. He jumps startled and looks up the hill. A top the hill stands a large man. He had come to face a highlander. The Scottish warriors yells out at the invader and strings an arrow onto his longbow.
He aims at the Mughal and fires. The arrow misses the Mughal and the Islamic warriors responds by drawing his own bow. He aims it and fires. The arrow flies towards the highlander and the Scotsman ducks it narrowly avoiding it hitting him in the head.
He unsheathes his broadsword and targe shield and charges down the hill with a mighty roar. The Mughal strings another arrow and aims at the advancing Scotsman. He draws closer and the Mughal takes aim at his legs. He waits for the Highlander to approach closed and he fires his arrow but it flies past his legs.
The highlander holds his targe out in hopes of impaling the Islamic warrior but the Mughal reacts quickly and drops his bow then draws his mace. He goes for a swing with the mace directed at the highlander's head but the Scottish warriors ducks and swings his broadsword at the Mughal's side hitting him causing him to stumble to the side.
The Mughal grunts from the force of the hit but ignores it and swings his mace again only to have it blocked by the highlander who lifts his targe up to block it. The mace hits the spike on the targe and glances off and the highlander reacts by kicking the Mughal in the stomach making him fall backwards.
The Mughal falls on his back and seeing an opportunity, the Highlander quickly brings the targe's abnormally long spike down to impale the Mughal in his heart. The Mughal rolls out the way causing the highlander to impale the ground instead. The Mughal draws his talwar and swings down low directed at his arm wielding the targe but the highlander lets the shield go and swings his broadsword at the Mughal.
The Mughal raises his talwar to intercept the Scot's broadsword and takes his dhal shield out. He holds his talwar and shield protectively in front of him and the highlander draws his dirk dagger.
The highlander strikes first with his broadsword swinging towards the Mughal's head who lifts his dhal to block the blade. The Highlander then quickly lunges at the Mughal and thrusts his dirk into the Islamic warrior's side penetrating his kavacha mail.
The Mughal grunts and with his talwar, swings it at the highlander's arm slicing down into the bone. The highlander yells and pushes the Mughal away. He proceeds to swings his broadsword violently at the Mughal. The Mughal blocks the series of blows and eventually finds an opening and moves to the side and slices the highlander in his dirk wielding arm causing him to drop it.
The highlander falls on one knee and the Mughal raises the talwar to slice the highlander's head in half. The Highlander turns and swings his broadsword and hits the Mughal in side making him stumble sideways.
The Highlander is now intent on killing this invader, gets up, tosses is broadsword aside and slowly unsheathes the claymore out his back scabbard. The Mughal is not intimidated by the enormous blade and assumes his battle stance.
The Highlander swings his blade to decapitate the Indian who ducks under the swings and with his talwar, slices the Highlander across his upper leg. The Highlander ignores the pain and regains momentum. He swings the claymore again at the Mughal's legs and he jumps to avoid the blade.
The Highlander reacts quickly rushes forward and with one hand, grabs the Mughal's sword arm and takes the talwar away then kicks him backwards.
The Mughal yells as he falls backwards. The Highlander then takes his claymore and thrusts it downward. The Mughal rolls out the way.
He draws his bichuwa and stabs the highlander in his back, severing his spine paralyzing the Scottish warrior. The Highlander's cries out in pain as the Mughal stabs him again in the left lung then puts him on his knees.
The Highlander, now teary eyed from failing his home can only look up at the Mughal. The Mughal takes his bichuwa and with that, stabs him threw the eye going into his brain.
He withdraws his dagger and kicks the highlander's corpse backwards. He then licks the blood off his bichuwa, raises it into the air and yells in victory.

Winner: Mughal Warrior
Mughal Warrior: 568
Talwar: 105
Mughal Mace: 49
Indian Composite Bow: 294
Bichuwa: 120
Highlander: 432
Scottish Broadsword: 81
Claymore: 155

In a very brutal battle between conqueror and defender, the Mughal Warrior wins. His superior archery skills and his better armor helped him win. The Mughal's deadliest weapon was his Composite bow which scored nearly 300 kills. The Highlander's deadliest weapon was his claymore.
"The Mughal won because, even though the highlander was a larger and vicious foe, his armor was superior and he knew how to use his bow better. Coupled with the fact that he would adopt the weapons and tactics of those he conquered made him and more dangerous and diverse foe unlike any the highlander ever seen." Geoff explains.
(The Mughal is seen walking back to where his army awaits. He will give word to launch a full invasion of the Scottish highlands. Strapped to his back is the highlander's claymore, another weapon added to his empire's growing arsenal.)
