Mohawk Indian: Warriors of the Iroquois Confederacy who fiercely resisted American settlers and rival tribes.

(A band of Mohawk Indians ambush unsuspecting American settlers. The settlers falling to their various attacks before the last one is impaled with a lance.)

vs.

Australian Aborigine: Hardened warriors of the Australian Outback who fought invading Europeans and man-eating lizards.

(An Aborigine duels with a rival tribesman, he overpowers his foe before bashing his head in with the nulla-nulla.)

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!

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 tribal warriors who never met.

"Today we have a battle between two fierce, enduring tribal warriors who are still in existence today thanks to their sheer fighting spirit. They clashed with rival tribes, wildlife and settlers so they knew how to take on all comers and they were ingenious with the types of weapons they developed to defend themselves with.'' Ex-special forces Barry Jacobsen explained.

''I'm giving my initial edge to the Mohawk Indian.'' Biomedical Engineer Geoff Desmoulin said. ''He has the better long range weapon and that alone would allow him to put the Aborigine down before he even comes within range.''

''I think the Australian Aborigine can win. He came from a much harsher environment and having fought invading Europeans and the giant prehistoric lizards, the megalania means he would be driven and motivated harder to fight and survive.'' Trauma Doctor Armand Dorian commented.

The Mohawk people are the most easterly tribe of the Haudenosaunee, or Iroquois Confederacy. The name means "People of the Flint Place." They are an Iroquoian-speaking indigenous people of North America. The Mohawk were historically based in the Mohawk Valley in present-day upstate New York west of the Hudson River. During the War of 1812 they fought on the side of the British against the American forces.

''Like most other native American tribes they seemed savage and primitive to American settlers. However they managed to prevent the settlers from wiping them out completely and thanks to that they are still living today.''

The fearless Mohawk Indian carried with him a simple, yet deadly arsenal.

Short Range: Pipe Tomahawk

Mid-Range: Iroquois War Lance

Long Range: Bow & Arrow

Special: Flint Knife

But today the mighty Mohawk Indian will faces an equally determined and dangerous challenger.

One of the most ancient cultures to date, the Aborigine has lived on the Australian continent for thousands of years, dispersing into over hundreds of distinctive languages and cultures. For centuries they lived off the harsh land, encountering giant man-eating lizards and other Aboriginals alike. The arrival of European explorers would forever change things for their homeland and the native warriors would face a new threat, become one of the first warriors to successfully use guerrilla warfare.

"They come from one of the most unforgiving lands in the world and it is their sheer will to survive that has led to their existence to this day. They may have seemed like savages and had weapons that seemed simple, but to the earliest European settlers they were a genuine threat,.'' Barry concluded.

The native Australian comes equipped with an earthen-based cache of weapons used in defense against all predators.

Short Range: Nulla-Nulla

Mid-Range: Giant Sawfish Rostrum

Long Range: Woomera

Special: Boomerang

When things got up close the Aborigine had a simple weapon designed to smash his opponents into oblivion.

''The nulla-nulla was the primitive club of Australia used by all Aboriginal tribes, but each with their own peculiarity depending upon the tribe they were used by. It was meant to split wooden shields and skulls. The one crafted here is made out of solid carved timber that bulks out at the head with a round ball shape. It was 15 inches long and weighed just over a pound.'' Native Australian Colebee says proudly displaying his weapon.

''We've set up a gel torso outfitted in the traditional clothing of the Mohawk people. You''ll have 10 seconds to dish out as much damage as possible on this poor sap. Ready?'' Geoff explained.

Colebee nodded and got into position. Geoff gives the countdown and Colebee begins with a strike to its jaw before going high with his next swing and striking its left temple before coming down with a final strike on top of the skull. With the head bludgeoned beyond repair he focuses on the chest with first a backhanded strike and then a fore-handed strike before Geoff calls out "Time!"

Dr. Dorian made his way over to assess the damage.

"Man, you've just destroyed this guy's skull, all of it only being held together by the skin on the outside. Your first shot shattered this guy's jaw, not a kill, but still a debilitating injury. Your second strike nailed this guy in the thinnest part of the skull for a near instant kill. Your last blow struck this guy on the crown of his skull for a deep crack that will send skull fragments into his brain and a possible contusion, both of which can kill. Moving on to the torso both of your shots to the chest have shattered this man's ribs, leaving him with a flail chest. He won't be able to breathe easily and his lungs will be bruised at vital sites for blood oxygenation. Altogether you have a kill."

Since we've already tested the tomahawk which was used by the Apache. The team now review the testing of said weapon and after that come to a conclusion.

''For me, the versatility of the tomahawk beats out the just bludgeoning of the nulla-nulla.'' Geoff started.

''The tomahawk can be thrown as well which gives the Mohawk Indian the advantage of range allowing him to hit the Aborigine before he even comes to close to use the nulla-nulla. Edge pipe tomahawk.'' Dorian added.

''It's quite obvious which gets the edge. Clubs are outperformed almost 10 times out of 10.'' Barry finished.

In short range weapons the edge goes to the Mohawk Indian for the pipe tomahawk.

Coming up, two deadly mid-ranged weapons come forth to draw blood.

Now both warriors reveal to us their favorite mid-ranged weapons. Since we've already seen a similar weapon wielded by the Cheyenne Dog Soldier the team reviews the testing of the Buffalo Lance. After reviewing the tape the panelists now move on the the Aborigine's most deadly weapon.

"This is the giant sawfish rostrum. It could be crafted into a weapon of great use by the native warriors. Both edges were studded with sharp, tooth-like projections. Aborigines would kill them and then cut off the rostrum before carving a small semicircular groove to function as a gripping point. The one I'll have here is 3 ½ feet long and weighs 3 pounds.''

We've set up a torso which will simulate real human flesh and gauge the damage the rostrum can do to a human body. Colebee will be given 3 shots.

Colebee shot the rostrum outward and ripped right into the torso's belly and began sawing into it in a gory spectacle that spilled blood and organs everywhere. He pulled it out and brought it up to his side again and began sawing into the torso's neck until he reached the spine. The torso already a mangled mess he had one last shot and brought it up to the other side and again swung into its ribs, digging even deeper into the flesh.

''Damn, that was really brutal and gruesome.'' Dorian said.

''Reminds you of the maquahuitl eh?'' Geoff asked.

''Your first shot just cut through everything in its way. The intestines are mangled beyond repair and the blood loss is just too profuse. This is a near instant kill. Your next strike is severing all the major arteries on the left side of his neck and tearing his throat open for an instant kill. Lastly, your last blow manages to get between his ribs and hit the lung. The sawing action fractures the surrounding ribs and gets between the lung and pulmonary artery for another instant kill." Dorian concluded.

Wanting to see the Iroquious War Lance to be tested against the Aborigine's shield. The team decides to have Mohawk Indian Ahuledegi stand ready with his lance. He will have 3 shots to against a torso holding the Aborigine's wooden shield.

''Begin.'' Geoff called out.

With a thrust he strikes the wooden shield and manages to pierce it. Struggling to free his lance he kicks the wooden shield freeing his lance and finishes the torso with a thrust through the neck and a final thrust through the heart.

''Not bad A, Your first strike to the shield managed to pierce it and judging by the hole it wasn't enough to touch the guy and take note your blade was stuck in it. That would give him a few seconds to counter attack if you don't either let go or free the lance in time. Your 2 blows to the torso got him once in the neck for an instant kill because you severed cut spinal cord through the neck bone and the last blow got his heart for an instant kill as well.'' Dorian explains.

Both warriors have displayed the lethal damage of their mid-range weapons. Which one gets the edge?

''We've seen a similar comparison before but this time our decision will be the right one. The Iroquois war lance is no doubt lethal but you can get around the point and destroy the Mohawk with one swing of the rostrum.'' Geoff explained.

''I disagree and call it even, both have good range allowing you to keep enemies at bay. One causes worse damage while the other is made of metal. Even in my book.'' Dorian countered.

''I go with the rostrum on this one. It's damage is unlike anything we've seen and is comparable to the maquahuitl. For sheer damage and trauma the rostrum gets my edge.'' Barry concluded.

In mid-range weapons, the edge goes to the Australian Aborigine for the giant sawfish rostrum.

Up next the battle at long range ensues when a lethal throwing spear goes up against the iconic Native American bow.

When their enemies were at a distance our warriors used different means to take them down. Up first we will test out the Aborigine's famous spear thrower.

"The woomera is an Aboriginal spear-throwing device similar to the Aztec's atlatl in regards to being an extension of the human arm that enables a spear to travel at a greater speed and force than possible with an unaided arm. It is 2 to 3 feet in length with on end that is 3 inches wide and possessing a hollow, curved cross-section. It was a multi-purpose tool.'' Colebee explained.

''And we have a test for that weapon where you have 3 Mohawk Indians charging you. 3 shots so let's see what you can do.'' Geoff siad pointing to the targets.

Colebee got into position and loaded his first spear after getting his aim he chucks it and the spear skewers the target in the gut. Taking his second spear he aims for the second torso and with careful aim, he chucks the spear and this time the spear embeds itself in the target's eye making the panelists flinch. Taking his last spear and loads it and with a miracle shot hits the target in it's carotid artery.

The panelists walk over to assess the damage.

''Your first shot in the gut managed to go deep enough to kabob some of his organs in his body which would definitely kill him pretty quick if a doctor isn't around. The second spear is self explanatory with the eyeball kabob there, he's dead instantly. Last guy has a spear in his neck which severs his carotid artery and if he can't get to my hospital fast enough, he'll die of Exsanguination.''

''Your weapon is just out performed by a bow. As we've seen bows a majority of the time win.'' Ahuledegi commented.

Reviewing the Apache and Cheyenne Dog Soldier's bow tests. Our panelists have no problem deciding an edge.

''Bow, simple. Range and accuracy gives it a tremendous advantage against the woomera.'' Geoff said.

In long range weapons, the edge goes to the Mohawk Indian for his bow & arrow.

The time has come for two vastly different weapons to be put to the test. Up first will be the Australian Aborigine's world famous tool of hunting and warfare, the Boomerang.

"The boomerang could have a variety of designs, but the one here is made from a convex design like that of a simple bow. The outer edge is blunted while the inside is kept finer for cutting and sawing. It was 28 inches long and weighed ¾ of a pound.'' Colebee explained.

The team has set up a torso where Colebee will attack the target with two boomerangs. We will test out the boomerang's functionality as a projectile weapon and a melee weapon.

Geoff gives the signal to Colebee and he hurls his first boomerang at the target. The weapon bouncing off the head leaving a small dent in the skull. Colebee takes his other boomerang in hand and charges the torso bringing the weapon down onto it's skull leaving a noticeable dent.

Dr. Dorian made his way over to examine both targets, "Your first strike generated over 150 psi, which will result in a skull fracture and a kill. Your up close strike delivered over 200 psi and the fineness of the blade left a long, deep indentation in the skull, another kill."

''You're bringing basically a hunting implement to a fight. My flint knife may be smaller but it can kill someone slashing or thrusting and doesn't require blunt force like your boomerang.'' Ahuledegi spoke up

Since the flint knife resembles the Aztec Eagle's tecpatl, the team reviews the testing of the ceremonial knife in previous episodes and after a debate they finally come to a conclusion.

''This has to go to the flint knife. Do I really have to explain myself?'' Geoff said.

''The boomerang is just too predictable for me to like. The flint knife can kill you with slash and stabs where the boomerang relies on blunt force trauma. I'd take the flint knife over the boomerang any day.'' Dorian commented.

''For being an actual tool for fighting I give the edge to the Mohawk's flint knife.'' Barry concluded.

For special weapons the edge goes to the Mohawk Indian for the flint knife.

Coming up, Barry gauges the x-factors of our warriors and our battle between to determined tribal warriors begin!

''Time go gauge these x-factors.'' Barry said taking a seat in front of the computer.

''For training both these guys were bred to fight. However I gave the edge to the Mohawk since he is the scrappier fighter and he is skilled in ambushing and turning all his weapons into projectiles. He has an 86 to the Aborigine's 64.''

''I looked into endurance and I again gave it to the Mohawk Indian since he's physically larger in size and his stamina is much greater than that of the Aborigine. He scored an 89 to the Aborigine's 85.''

''Up next I checked up on physicality and ended up giving both warriors the edge with an 87 each. The Mohawk were tall guys but diseased ridden whereas the Aborigine is shorter but bulky putting them on an even playing field.''

''Ferocity was checked as well and I gave it to the Mohawk. He and the Aborigine fended off settlers who tried to encroach on their land but the Mohawk's ambushes did not end until everyone they plan to kill is dead. The Mohawk has an 89 to the Aborigine's 85.''

''For killer instinct I gave both men a 90. They were willing to kill anyone that dared to settle their land.''

''Lastly I covered intimidation and this one went to the Mohawk. He battled settlers on a constant basis where any group of settlers were slaughtered to the last man and their bodies left behind as a message to leave their land or face the same fate as their fellow colonists. He has a 92 to the Aborigine's 75.''

Our scientists and 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 a battle between two determined and fearless tribal warriors?

''Let's hit that button and see who wins it all.''

We are brought to a quiet forest in New England. It is a chilly morning with some light snow and a lone Aborigine has somehow become miraculously lost from his brethren while they were on a journey to find more resources.

Having no experience in this type of weather the lone Aborigine finds a small place to set up camp and lays his weapons beside a rock before settling down. In the distance however he is unaware that a Mohawk Indian is watching him. Bothered at another one of those rival tribes encroaching on his territory the Mohawk readies an arrow onto his bow and aims.

The Aborigine gets a fire going and the second he gets up an arrow nearly hits him in the head. Surprised at the sudden attack the Aborigine looks at the direction from which the arrow came and sees the Mohawk readying another arrow.

The Aborigine picks his wooden shield up and blocks the arrow just in time to avoid getting hit in the face. Taking his nulla-nulla the Australian warrior shouts before charging the Native American warrior. The Mohawk, having no time to aim his next arrow draws his pipe tomahawk and charges back at his opponent.

Both warriors meet and the Aborigine goes for a swing with his weapon only to be intercepted by the Mohawk's tomahawk. Quickly pulling back on his tomahawk the Mohawk manages to pull the nulla-nulla away from the Australian warrior and swings the tomahawk with hopes of hitting the Aborigine in his skull but the Australian lifts his shield up in time to block the blow and pushes the Mohawk away.

The Mohawk jolts forward which prompts the Australian to lift his shield, seeing his opponent do what he expected the Mohawk twirls around the Aborigine and gets into his blind spot. He then swings the tomahawk which cuts into the Australian's back. Grunting at the sudden pain the Aborigine retaliates drawing his boomerang from his waist and swings it around.

The boomerang's pointed end manages to hit the Mohawk in his wrist injuring the native American causing him to back off holding it in pain whilst dropping his tomahawk. the Mohawk makes a sudden retreat and filled with sudden adrenaline the Aborigine hurls his boomerang at the Mohawk which only barely misses.

Running back to his makeshift camp the Aborigine picks up his remaining weapons and gives chase. The Aborigine hears a twig snap and readies a woomera and proceeds to scan the nearby wood line.

Suddenly the Mohawk pops out with his lance raised in the air with a war cry. The Australian throws his woomera and the spear goes flying but only embeds itself into the tree scaring the Mohawk into hiding again. Picking up his sawfish rostrum the Aborigine moves in the direction where he last saw the Mohawk and raises it protectively in front of him.

The Mohawk, quitely stalking his opponent from behind the trees picks up a long stick and uses it to twiddle with some leaves a yard out in front of him. Hearing the rustling of leaves the Aborigine sees the pile of leaves moving. Believeing his opponent to be behind the tree he runs over and goes for a swing breaking away a few teeth.

Upon looking he realizes that it was only a diversion when suddenly from behind he hears a war cry and turns to see the Mohawk thrusting his lance into his gut. Before he can skewer his foe the Aborigine let's go off his weapon and jumps back which causes the lance to become stuck in the tree. Seeing his opponent stuck the Aborigine grabs the Indian by his neck and pulls him away from the lance and then shoves him to the ground before stomping on his stomach enough to make the Mohawk cough in pain repeatedly.

He runs over to his rostrum and frees it from the tree and turns to the still coughing he brings the rostrum down onto the Indian only for him to summon the energy to roll away. Knowing he won't be able to get to his lance the Mohawk draws his flint knife and ducks a swing from the rostrum. With his opponent still in mid-swing the Mohawk lashes forward and buries his knife into the Aborigine's side before stabbing him repeatedly.

Screaming at the pain the Aborigine responds with a backhand that hits the larger native across the jaw knocking him sideways. He quickly swings the rostrum and manages to bury it into the Mohawk's side.

Ignoring the searing pain the Indian retaliates with slice to the Aborigine's face before kicking the smaller warrior knocking him on his back. He runs over to his lance and yanks it out of the tree before running off into the wood line again. After a brief moment of recovering the Aborigine gets up and sees the the Mohawk running into the wood line and he gives chase again.

The Mohawk Indian stops at a small cliff with a lake at the bottom and turns to see the Aborigine has caught up. Raising his lance into the air the Mohawk warrior yells out several war cries before the Aborigine suddenly charges him. The Mohawk let's out one final war cry before charging back at his opponent.

Both warriors come within reach and the Mohawk thrusts his lance forward but the Aborigine sucks his stomach in and jumps back before bringing his rostrum down onto the Mohawk's arms hitting it and knocking the lance to the ground.

The Mohawk shrieks in pain before he is backhanded and knocked down to the ground. Filled with sudden bravado the Australian warrior raises his rostrum one last time to finish to fight when suddenly the Mohawk springs up with his flint knife drawn and slices into his knee before following up with a slice to the thigh before stabbing the Aborigine's stomach.

Frozen, the Aborigine drops his weapon with his eyes wide open as the Mohawk repeatedly stabs his stomach. The proud Australian warrior coughs up blood before falling on his knees.

The Mohawk picks up his lance and looks down onto his defeated challenger. With a loud war cry he raises his lance into the air and thrusts it down into the Australian's open mouth skewering him, the blade sticking out the back of the head.

Pulling his lance out the Mohawk kicks the corpse off the cliff and watches as it falls into the lake. Raising his lance into the air he gives one final war cry that echoes throughout the woods.

Following another brutal battle between two fearless tribal warriors. The Mohawk Indian emerges victorious. His superior killing arsenal and his bow allowed him to crush the Aborigine. However the Aborigine gave the Mohawk a serious challenge with his rostrum scoring nearly 300 kills making it the most damaging weapon in the simulations.

''It isn't at all surprising. The Aborigine's weapons weren't very good against the Mohawk's and just didn't stack up. The Mohawk was just better armed for this fight and his ambushing tactics caught the Aborigine by surprise as we've seen.'' Geoff commented.

''When you have the better long range weapon and..well just better weapons in general, you win.'' Dorian added.

''If the Aborigine brought more versatile weapons, he may have stood a better chance but he just couldn't compete with the superior versatility of the Mohawk's weaponry which meant the he can use all his weapons as projectiles keeping it a distance fight. When things got up close the Mohawk still beat the Aborigine. Another victory for a great warrior.'' Barry concluded.

(We see the Mohawk returning to his village. The people gather around him to hear the story of the strange warrior he encountered in the woods. The Aborigine's rostrum among his newest possessions.)
