Cheap Medieval Weapons vs. Modern Armor - Skall Reacts to
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 04. 2024
- Barely half a day after these medieval arms vs. kevlar armor shenanigans appeared on the Kentucky Ballistics channel people were already bombarding me with requests to make a response video. So here you go, literally as quickly as I was able to. :)
Tests like that are always a blast, and this is no exception. Some of those "reproductions" though... yikes. That mace in particular... I've never seen a flanged mace so weirdly cobbled together. The spikey military flail was interesting though.

#skallagrim #medieval #weapons #kentuckyballistics #reaction #commentary #test - Zábava
This was a lot of fun to watch! I am very ashamed of my weapons now lol! Also my hand has been sore and I couldn’t figure out why…well now I know lol!
Hahahha you are here to comment this reaction
Fair play Scott 😂
Have Skall over for some great times destroying things.
If I had to guess, you probably mistook it with the echoing sores from the 50 cal. Only there's a little less gunpowder smell that usually rings together with it this time.
Oh man, please- please- PLEASE do a followup with Skal! I think you guys would be a riot, testing old v. new!!!
Oh this is a meet up we need! Scott giving Skal the chance to shoot everything and Skal bringing real blades for ballistics testing!! Please!!!!
second that
@@waldirnacarath I third this
Yes
Oh hell yeah. They both live on the east coast too - very doable meet up
I'm all for it as long as he doesn't ask Skal to put a thumb in it.
Biggest takeaway: If you're stuck with low-quality wall hanger weapons, go blunt. A crappy mild steel sword won't cut very well, but a crappy mild steel club will still club quite effectively.
You dont need a force multiplier if you use enough force
Blunt weapons rule!
@@comlitbeta7532ah yes a quote to live by.
Scott from Kentucky Ballistics is a good guy. You could always invite him onto your channel and show him some more accurate (and well made) versions of medieval weaponry and demonstrate how effective they can be when properly employed.
That would be a cool crossover. Both good natured guys.
Inclined to agree. in Guntube, Brandon is off the deep end and Matt is teetering, still feel like Scott is a good guy.
@@Efreeti Yeah, Brandon and Garand and Admin and the rest arent even trying to hide it anymore. At least there's Bloke, Gun Jesus, Scott, Hickock, and whatever Karl from Inrange is.
@@Efreeti The deep end?
@@ethandearman3965 Same kind of deep end that Shadiversity has gone off, with a touch of the... movement that has infected right wing american politics. Bigoted, cruel, anti-woke culture war things. Brandon Herrera has in fact himself been running for office on a pro-gun anti-abortion maga-adjacent platform.
I love Scotts "0% technique, 100% strength" approach though.
"What do you mean i need dex to use this melee weapon?"
The Dark Souls 2 motto - if you don't have the skill to use a weapon, hold it with both hands.
He dumped his stats into Strength and Constitution. Any extra went right into Charisma.
@@ZergleJerkThat explains how he survived having a 50 cal explode in his hands
@@niall_sanderson That neck injury would kill a lesser man, but he's an absolute unit
@@ZergleJerk his intros and characters prove it!
Scott is proof that a high enough STR makes up for a lack of DEX.
His CON has to be pretty high too as evidenced by the .50 explosion.
My half Orc Barbarian agrees that "this is the way." Currently 19 STR and only 12 DEX.
Now try it in Elden Ring
In a short singular battle yeah
@@DougW130 ONLY 12??? Thats a plus 1. 5e?
Anyone taking Scott’s video seriously needs to watch more of his stuff. He’s a big goofball who loves hamming it up and just having fun.
Yeah, it's obviously for fun.
Would suit skallagrims thesis of medievil battles beeing pro wrestling events in past, throwing each other theatralical to the ground, to keep the honour of their opponents in tact, yet the the injuries keep beeing real.
I'm pretty sure all of the damage was down to Scott being a damn ogre. That guy is insanely strong.
Watch one of his videos where he's firing a 4 bore rifle.
@@georgekane6732 exactly. I love the 4 bore!
I'm still convinced he could freehand the Fat Mac he has now.
Yeah, in the OG video, Scott mentions that he benches over 400 lbs! That's 181.437 Kg. He's a beast.
If only the FEV virus was real, a supermutant Scott could wield the Punt Gun properly
Kentucky ran out of guns.
Skall ran out of swords.
The matchup we need.
We need Kentucky Skallistics !
ammo got Expehuuunsive
@@IcecalGamer It did but considering Scott makes enough to afford those ballistic torsos for his videos... ammo price is probably not as major a concern to him. 😂
Yes plz.
Hence why i rarely watch anymore 😅
Scott has all the Strength and Charisma, he doesn't need Dexterity! Lmao
And his .50 proved he’s got high constitution too
Man is practically a paladin with a comedic side. Hell he even has lay on hands (stick a thumb in it 😂)
That "flanged" mace and the Wobbly Slapper sword definitively win a Honorary Mall Ninja award :D
He paid $1300 for that sword 😂
Imagine being on a battlefield and your enemy shows up with a sword that long and then you watch as the thing practically wraps around your body with how wobbly it is
What is this, a weapon used by Diamante in One Piece?!
Yeah that's not a sword it's a really stiff whip
and if you're wearing any real armor, that thing just smarts from the impact force of floppcalibur, no real damage done. "Huh, I'm alive?"
Have you guys ever heard of an Ilumi, in English whip sword.
@@OnlyKaerius *Enemy correctively twists and pumples the face*
That "9ft claymore" made my day lol
"Claynomore" would be a better term.
Moreclaymore
It reminds me of the way-too-oversized Astora Greatsword from DS3.
Claymost
The way it breaks reminds me of Mall ninja weapons quality 😂😂😂
A proper reaction video. No dissing on the creator. No mean critique. Just lighthearted fun on a Sunday.
Spend some time watching Scott's videos, "lighthearted fun" is his stock in trade, even when he's doing a video on an otherwise serious subject.
I'll second, that you should check out Kentucky Ballistics. He doesn't take himself very seriously, no politics, just good messy fun!
@@zakknight7371 And a unhealthy relationship with folding tables with a mild obsession with watermelons and a fear of furbbies.
@@jasonreiyn9311 You can't forget the Eggplants!
Scott is a mountain of a man. He somehow cuts through with a sword that's duller than a butter knife. I was completely surprised and shocked when he somehow actually got the cut on the Kevlar.
I watched Scott's video and I kept thinking, "he really needs to have Skallagrim come show him how to do that the right way." So, maybe your should reach out. Scott's a hoot and a half, and I'm sure he'd enjoy having you on his channel.
Please, no. I have too much respect for Skal.
@@TestUser-cf4wj Oh get bent.
@@TestUser-cf4wj why not?
@@TestUser-cf4wj Scott isn't a douchetuber, he's a pretty nice guy, so this comment is stupid
@@duckstabed7381 He's probably left-wing.
Left wing people are generally unhinged and hate Scott because he supports self-defense rights.
It's funny to see how his technique isn't even that bad on some strikes, but the weapons are so crap that it doesn't matter. Goes to show, quality equipment goes a long way
"Your opponent would have suffered more mental damage from seeing how crap your weapons are, than from the actual weapon" LMAOO
I had no idea zombie torsos were that expensive, holy Moses. I'm a big fan of Scott and Skal, like many others I think you guys would make an awesome collab video--sword nerd meets gun jockey. Of course, going down to Kentucky for a week is also going to be expensive--travel and accommodation aren't cheap. However, maybe you can make it work?
That's why sponsors are so important.
I mean he had Eddie Hall on a video all the way from England
Right!?! My mouth literally fell open at that pricetag!
That floppy sword is straight up medieval clown prop territory.
Handles like a length of tape measure was my first thought.
There was a South Asian weapon known as a whip sword, true name is Ilumi.
he knows exactly what he's doing. generating hella traffic
@@BassRacerx And? Isn't the point of CZcams to be entertaining?
Seems to me like he has the right idea. More Guntubers should tackle the Swordtuber side of things.
@@hainleysimpson1507 is this just a different name for the urumi that was used around modern day india or is it a diferent sword?
I'm just surprised that the wall hangers were this effective against actual body armor. It's legitimately impressive.
They're still big chunks of metal and Scott is a strong dude, despite the poor technique.
The thing is while force of impact is Mass x Velocity squared, speed doesn't maintain power the way mass dose, think about a 6ft speed boat hitting a pier at 60 MPH compared to a 50,000 tone tanker at 5 MPH, modern armour is designed to stop a relatively light projectile at EXTREAMLY high speed, while old armour is designed to protect against high mass at low speed, neither is better or worse, just built to protect against different threats.
@@benn454 That one handed sword looks like you can make it work at least.
Some proper grindstone work to fix the edge and make it actually sharp and it might do it. The steel seems to be decent spring steel judging from the flex during the thrust.
The maces/flails are horrible garbage (way to easy to bend, they are likely cheap wallhangers) but the warhammer looks workable.
Don't get me started on the "Claymore" tough, holy shit he got ripped off on that 🤣
Aye, but they also break and wear under reasonable use, so a bit of a trade-off.
Until you feel one disassemble right in your hand.
As soon as he said he spent 1500 on that giant pos my first thought was "God damn man, you could have got some actual decent cutlery to test for that."
When I heard that 1500, I was just hoping he was joking. If not then he got took for that piece of trash.
13:43 That reminds me when I first started playing DnD, my friend who was the DM/GM would say, "Take 1d4 mental damage" when we questioned the plot of the adventure 😂
Oh, man, I love that! I could totally see my DM doing that!
@@eliabeck689 Yeah! So it was kind of the players' fault tho. My friend was having a turn of being the DM and all of us played League of Legends so we did a one shot at lvl 15 in Runeterra. We were tasked with stopping a person from opening portals into the void and causing void creatures to attack nearby settlements. We players deduced it was Malzahar and were asking the DM questions like "What patch is this on?" or "Has Malz gotten his rework yet?" So the DM made us take mental damage every time we broke the 4th wall. Eventually it became a running joke that if you question the DM at all, you take 1d4 mental damage. This is different from psychic damage because the characters in game take psychic damage. This was damage the player "took" outside the game and it translated to the unfortunate character who "hurt themselves in their confusion" like Pokémon.
Scott is a mad man. He knows more than he lets on, but he's gained a massive following for his brand of humor
Former cop. He knows blades and spikes for sure. But he's build his channel on being a bit more silly than the other tubers. Although some of them are trying to give him a run for his money these days.
He has other channels for his serious videos.
Crossover! Crossover! Crossover! Crossover!
It would be amazing! I mean Skall and Scott basically have diametrically opposite personallity types, but I think they would actually work well together for a video and Scott is actually a really sweet guy.
He also has access to a huge arsenal of firearms (both in terms of numbers but also... just *really* big guns) to test, and Skall can bring some quality HEMA items and knowledge to bear.
Would be great to see a Weeb vs gun nerd type video with these 2.
Can you imagine the 4 bore vs a proper shield? Yeah, it will still break your arm, and a few ribs... it is the 4 bore after all.
@@leechowning2712The day where a 4 bore just breaks my arm would easily make it in my top 3 of luckiest moments in my life 😅
@leechowning2712 ,
The 4-bore is going through any historically accurate shield.
The funniest thing about people calling for a collab here is now the main two collab suggestions I’ve seen for Skall are Kentucky Ballistics and Ironmouse, two creators who couldn’t be any further apart if they tried
Scott can bench press nearly 500 pounds (roughly 225 kilo), I'm pretty sure he could do major damage with even a pool noodle, despite his bad form.
But that 9 foot sword, it's floppier than wet pasta.
Imagine what he could do with proper form and weapons. That is a scary thought.
500 lb bench? Dayum... that's not a knight build, that's straight up barbarian.
Scott is a tank.
Wow, you must love those sexy, tough muscles. It's kind weird talking about his 9 foot floppy noodle, though...
Scott really went for compensation recovering from his injury, channeled the newfound lease on life into the gym and building back strength in the shoulder… which he now beats the living hell out of with massive cannon recoil
“It’s got to be as stiff as possible, otherwise it’s not going to work”
And that’s what she said.
Idk what was more entertaining. Watching Scott mess with medieval weapons or Skallagrim wondering what dollar store pick up bin he found them in XD
Everytime I've seen Scott pull out that massively overchained flail I've been worried about him hitting himself.
Dont worry, he survived a 50cal exploding, i bet he can take a little hit of that weapon
@@jimmiekarlsson4458 Hard to put a thumb in a flail wound.
@@demomanchaos well ye, that might be hard, but might be possible aswell . There is a dude from USA that had a Rpg-7 blow up right near hes face , and he survived. If u can survive stuff like that with some luck, u can take a hit from a flail with some luck.
Honestly it really just reinforces the point that the human body is a lot more resilient than you’d think. Take for instance my uncle who as a teenager survived being shot point blank in the face by his shotgun while him and his friend were cleaning there guns and he didn’t realize there was still a shell in the magazine tube.
he hit his hand a few times
even these wall hangers are causing serious neck compression that still looks like death to me
Yeah. They might be mall ninja wallhangers but blunt force trauma is a bitch
Less to do with the weapon and more to do with Scott’s massive strength lol
He could have hit the dummy with a 2x4 from a junkyard or a table leg and gotten the same effect
@@hanson544 In an actual battlefield if he ran out of bullets he could be just as effective as an average human with guns by chucking rocks.
A big stick could cause neck compression and blunt trauma and it's not gonna set you back 50 bucks and potentially implode and spear your nutsack
You can even add a pointy end to said stick
@@northumbriabushcraft1208 or you could alternatively saw the stick in two, connect it with a piece of rope... and enjoy watching Shad seethe and rant 😁
I expected the usual wall hangers, but I couldn't have foreseen fucking Cloud Strife showing up with the floppiest buster sword known to man 🤣
I love that Doug Dimmadome-ass sword, it's one of the funniest things I've seen recently and it's kinda impressive that he could swing it without hurting himself :D
I think a collaboration is in order he has the armor and ballistic dummies and you have the weapons.
Yep.. this is definitely a dream scenario, they both have something to bring to the table in resources *and* knowledge.
I was entirely afraid of him hurting himself with a broken sword to the neck.
I thought the stab might result in him running the back end of the broken-off blade through his own forearm.
Scott is wearing out his guardian angel. Edwin Sarkissian is another fellow that needs to tone it down before it’s too late.
He'd just stick a thumb in it and be fine
@@matt5415 true, that dude is so unsafe
Watching that first sword impact and it's flex I really was convinced it would snap. Honestly I think the fact they were such low quality mild steel saved him.
Friend of mine used to be a bounty hunter for a Bail Bondsman. Was wearing body armor rated to the same level as what Scott is testing. Ended up in the hospital after the girlfriend of a target he was hunting got him through the chest with an Ice Pick. Went through the armor like it wasn't even there. A smaller impact area with a sharper spike will go through modern soft armor like butter. Even has a decent level of penetration on hard plates as well.
Interesting you mentioned the body armor. In Finland we have almost no gun violence on streets, but more of a knife problem. For this reason instead of bulletproof vest I used to wear stabproof vest. Those are hardened aluminium and other metal plates that can take a fire axe, knife or even needles. Also work great when a person becomes aggressive and punches you to the metal plate.
Within a minute of Scott's video starting, I thought "Man, Skall is going to get INUNDATED with requests to watch this." XD
oh yeah!
So quickly put out, made for great back to back watches
Hell, I'd love to see a collab beteen these two gentlemen! Scott shooting dummies wearing (quality) medieval armour and Skall going at the modern armour with proper medieval weapons and techniques. I'd watch the heck out of that!
Skal, you and Kentucky should team up. You "ride the lightning" with some of his behemoth caliber firearms, and Scott getting some proper medieval arms and armor testing with you.
Not sure Skall's shoulder could take a 4 bore or one of the heavier calibers. Still would be good to test the modern armor vs melee weapons and modern weapons vs medieval armor
It would be fun to take Scott on a HEMA journey and watch him learn a new skill. He would be terrifying behind a sword he knew how to use!
@@artor9175 I reckon Scott's a better match for some sort of big heavy blunt-force weapon, to actually use his ridiculous strength - offhand I'm thinking some sort of beefed-up mace switching between one- and two-handed. And yeah totally agreed, he'd be absolutely terrifying with a decent medieval weapon and even a little bit of training in it.
I could see scott pulling a Mountain that Rides if skal hooked him up with the right gear. "Tell me how the grass tastes little man!"
That giant floppy sword might not cut well, but it will inflict maximum EMOTIONAL DAAAMAGE
we need ALL the collabs, Scott is such a goober in his videos but destructive testing is what he's about. Would love to see it.
using that flail with that long a chain is... bold
He should have used a nun-chuck to anger Shad.
It hit his hand, but Scott didn't notice
That 9 feet long sword behaves like it's a single handle bandsaw without teeth.
this made me laugh more than it had any right to
It makes me think of those Indian whip-swords.
You can swing it around corners, LOL.
massively under rated comment
@@artor9175 The difference is, that shit actually hits when used by an experienced guy. It also has multiple blades on a single handle and doesn't require much strength due to centrifugal force doing much of the job.
Meanwhile, this is just a flimsy boi
The best part of Kentucky Ballistics video is when he throws a spear at the gel dummy from a moving motorcycle. He actually hits the target.
Hilarious how Scott is so strong he can just use any weapon as a blunt force weapon
Imagine untrained Scott with a cheap mace TOWERING over your average medieval knight. He'd possibly get killed for no technique but the size and strength disparity is just hilarious and frightening to think about
GRAY KNIGHT SCOTTSUZO
Bros built like a warhammer orc
"Poking the bloodbag still makes it pop."
The thing about soft armor is that it doesn't technically stop bullets, it catches them. If a high powered bullet hits soft armor (or even some plates) even if it doesn't break through the armor it will push the armor's material through the target. We've seen this happen on some of Scott's 4-bore videos.
Fast but heavy rounds without penetrator cores or tips have a tendency to knock the stuffing *into* you instead.
And even the plate armor that stopped a .50 BMG, the guy wearing the vest would still just kinda dissolve from the energy transfer.
"The good news is the vest stopped the round. The bad news is your sternum met your spine and they're gonna be together for the rest of your life."
@@griffinfaulkner3514 both seconds of it
Thank you for being respectful towards Scott in your commentary Skal, you’ve kept your honor as well as his. Good man.
I am glad you are approaching the Kentucky Ballistics video in the vein it was intended.
"i want that one, the big one. how do you call that?"
"ahh you have good taste, thats the Wet Noodle sir"
Not gonna lie, i found the floppy giant SLO quite hilarious to watch even if it's completely ineffectual
"Hmm, well, that was better than expected."
That's what she said.
If they get set up, knock 'em down.
Skall is what you get when John Wick does the Fusion Dance with Weird Al... and I'm here for it!
Man I love Kentucky Ballistics, ever since I first heard about him, that time he almost died because of spiked ammo.
the person getting attacked by the blade at the end probably end up dying from laughter
Hey im sure he had a really nasty welt! That thing slapped pretty hard!
Glad you called out the people who get mad when you pause the video, I see comments like that all the time and rarely is it actually a problem for me (only when some people pause too frequently) because I usually watch reaction & commentary videos for the actual input lol
Kentucky Ballistics injured a blood vessel in his neck testing a 50 cal (I think that's right). Anyway, he plugged the hole with his thumb. Dude, that is off the chain 😎 😎.
We need a Skal Kentucky collab for sure
We need Kentucky vs Skallgrim so we can get to Kentucky X Skallgrim. ☺️
Smallgrimm is gonna fuck Kentucky ballistics?
No, after arguing who will form the head, they will combine into an unstoppable force that will dominate the internet!
This is great, two of my favorite CZcamsrs in a single video.
Couple things though
PERHAPS... if a Normal Human was swining these things they wouldn't bend.. or maybe Skallagrim can advise Scott on some quality and reasonably priced real weapons so they don't bend when the biggest dude this side of Appalachia swings them. Seriously Scott is freaking huge.. his mediocre swing is still probably harder than anything I could do as I'm only 6 foot and just shy of 200 pounds.
And yeah, maybe one day we can get a video of Skallagrim down in Kentucky testing out some firearms and Scot can swing some real weapons and then they can discuss their experiences and compare in real time.
That's it.. Skallagrim and KentuckyBallistics collab.. who else wants this?
Warpicks: the ultimate tool when you want to open a man like a can of tuna.
Quality commentary! He cuts to his own footage to help futher their points in the video. Instead of relying on someone elses footage for the entire commentary
Thanks. I think it's essential that a commentary / response / reaction video ADDS something, instead of just showing someone else's content and just making faces at it or whatever.
@@Skallagrim Absolutely. That's why I like your reaction videos. Metatron is also great at it. The thing about many reaction videos is exactly that they don't add anything other than a funny face (which may or may not be interesting in itself). They'd probably not pass a copyright claim for fair use to my understanding.
My comment on Scott's original video was to test something other than cheap wall-hangers 😉
same
I recommended him some affordable options and my comment got deleted. X'D Didn't even include links.
@@Ranstone Was it deleted or downvoted?
@@Ranstone It might have been auto hidden and held for approval. Some random things will be a trigger.
@@Ranstone - Heavily sponsored channels do that. Pretty normal.
Ive been testing melee weapons vs kevlar for a while, and a better quality blade DEFINITELY performs better.
Though while kevlar armor iften isn't rated for cut resistance, it is usually surprisingly cut resistant.
A collab of Kentucky Ballistics and Skallagrim would be like a comedy show, but with weapons! Sounds awesome!😂😂
Scott is awesome. We love Scott round here. This would be a fantastic collab.
Skal is the fairest commentator you are going to get in this arena. This definitely needs a collab now. Kentucky seems like a cool guy and I'm sure he would be open to it. You'd have to do the roulette challenge though, the one with Eddie hall had me laughing hard.
Thank you for rushing to do this video. It was worth it to me.
If this isn't a collab where Skal shows Scott well made medieval weapons and they redo the video with better weapons, it's a missed opportunity to enrich the entire internet. 😂
Skall you gotta do this but do it right! The world deserves to see this done with proper weaponry, and you may well be the only man who can deliver such a feat
Man, seeing Skall react to a KB video makes me wonder if we're gonna get a Kentucky Roulette video featuring Skallagrim
That would be amazing.
Skall will need to bring real weapons with him to test as well.
Id pay money i actually earned to see that!
You missed the best part he was on a mini bike first hit it like he was jousting then he did two passes throwing the added energy was impressive.
"Your opponent would suffer more mental damage from seeing how crappy your weapon is." This is gold.
as a fan of both channels, this is perfect, something in my brain was screaming the entire time I was watching his video
The title should have been, "Cheap Shit Found on the Internet vs The Modern Ballistic Gel Warrior (How Lethal are Mall Warrior Weapons?)
That would have worked better. Because that was absurdly ridiculous.
Me thinks people are taking the original video far too seriously
@@ShadeszOfficial "Me thinks people are taking the original video far too seriously"
I had trouble determining whether it was meant to be parody or not.
The absurdities just piles up, but at the same time, there's nothing directly suggesting it.
Skal is making a reply video so like I said, this youtube business tactic works.
@@DIREWOLFx75 If you're familiar with Scott's videos, you know that he's basically a giant kid, and everything is just for fun.
I think it would be awesome to have Scott on as guest for a follow-up video!
I loved your explanation of simple blunt weapons and technique. That's why I carry a simple leather sap instead of more conplicated stuff.
Oh hell yeah, I was waiting for this the second I watched his vid. Love both of your stuff. Cant wait😁
Great critique, Skal. A lot of people in this comment section don't seem to realize that Scott wasn't trying to be a legit Medieval Martial Artist. Kentucky Ballistics is more of a humorous channel, with Scott bringing out all types of firearms, from normal .22LR to absurdly huge "big game" rifles that could, probably, take out an Apache helicopter. It's a fun channel! Everyone should check it out.
There is no critique about his martial artistry...only about the quality of his chosen tools 🤷
For sure, I wasn't aiming to critique anything anyway. Although the quality of some of the weapons was... concerning. :)
Most of the weapons Scott used are just simple weapons you could of gave a peasant and they could use without much training
That's the thing with wallhangers. They won't make it to a 2nd battle, but the guy that gets hit with it is still just as dead as if he had encountered properly made weapons. The wallhanger part doesn't really help the poor dude getting smacked in the head with a poorly made flanged mace. That skull/neck is still cracking/breaking so.
Scott is a man of many talents, that said you should see his video of surviving a 50 BMG rifle blowing up in his face, his guardian Angel was working at light speed and over time.
I just love your crossovers with other channels, mate! =]
11:11 - Dude has a history of stuff blowing up in his face.
Holy floppy swords, Batman! This calls for a collab!
I completely blanked on the "cheap" medieval weapons when i started watching and was flabbergasted to see a flanged mace just bend. Then i saw the sword that just keeps on going bend like an Urumi and died laughing.
I knew that one of you guys would make a video about this when I watched it the other day! I watch KB all the time and while he is indeed an "expert" with fire arms, he has zero experience with these types of weapons and his technique shows it. I also immediately recognized the poor quality of the weapons he is using and I knew that would also be a point of contention. I do agree with alot tof the people on here in thinking that a collaboration between you two would be a great video. Scott does alot of those types of videos.
A Song of Ice and Fire has a character who miraculously survives getting hit in the head with a mace.........and then suffers disability and chronic pain for the rest of his life because George RR Martin loves giving realistic outcomes to fantasy scenarios
It was the most useless Frey, right? That one who meets Lady Stoneheart in Storm of Swords epilogue?
@@PobortzaPl Jup Merret Frey
There is another case in GRRMs first Hedgeknight novell where...
SPOILER
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
... the character was hit so badly against the head that the skull was split in half. Everyone around him realized it just after he took off his helmet that kept the pieces together.
Lets not forget what a BEAST Scott is. This is a very strong man. I would love to see y'all collaborate.
As soon as I started Scott’s video yesterday and saw the double bladed axe, my “Um, ackshully” muscles were TWITCHING
Thanks bro, very nice react.👍😎 See you next time. (We need a meet up Scott and Skall.)
I believe what was done at the end with the absurdly long sword was the technique known as, "Taking the royal piss".
He at least convinced dumb criminals that all swinging weapons will bounce off them like superman, and was pretty humorous. :D
I’d unironically love a collab between these two, where they meet up.
They have such complementary vibes in my opinion, even though they are so different in so many ways.
love the commentary as always Skall!
13:05 ...I mean that's not a sword, that was a metal whip.
Scott with medieval blades be like:
"I have quiver full of spears and I know how to throw them!"😅
The amount of entertainment I've gotten from this one video is hilarious. It was fun in and of itself, but you and Shad's reaction videos were both also very entertaining. I could probably watch some more. 🤣
As much as I love Kentucky Ballistics and still enjoyed the video, when I saw this video, I thought, “Ok, Skall’s so totally doing a video on this-I can feel it in my bones.”. 😂
P.S.: Hey Skall, can you let me know where you got that epic mace from? I’ve been in the market for one, and I’ve never seen one as cool as that one! 😊
The spike ball hitting Scott's hand did not require a thumb to be inserted .
Scott is a lot of fun, he doesn't take himself too seriously but for very good reason he knows not to be too careless. (.50 serbu incident)
Gotta love how the next video in queue is "Senile Scribbles." :)
