Deadliest Warrior is known for having flawed logic and avoiding the scientific method, but this episode is a prime example of DW doing so. For some acid induced reason they don't specify which Celt exactly was featured, The Gaul's were mentioned so I'm guessing that was who they were talking about, however the weapons they chose were almost purposely inferior. The longsword while a great weapon, is logically inferior to the Claymore which the Celts had. The Celts chose the Sling as their primary long ranged weapon? You serious?? The Celts had archers as well. May I also note how the Chariot Scythe, a weapon they proved on the show could not cause a death but cause a laceration, obtained more kills than the Burda Club which was deemed a superior weapon? Mind you the tests were completely different but I'm going by their logic. Apparently their defense was the Persian bow kept the Celt at bay before he used it, okay fine, however that doesn't explain how the Scythe obtained ANY kills. Someone explain to me how this episode was looked at and nobody said "you know what? we probably should re-do a lot of this." Persian Immortals vs Celtic Army in an open field, Immortal's win hands down. But 1 vs 1. Doubting the Immortal would win the majority if they bothered testing the weapons properly.
