Weapons. | Internet Historian Reaction 

The sword in the stone thing is interesting actually, its a historical reference back to the bronze age, when you would cast tools and weapons in clay moulds that had to be broken apart to "draw the sword from the stone". By the time the stories of King Arthur were being written, the history of the bronze age had been forgotten and faded into myth and legend, including myths about swords trapped in stones, and those stories were incorporated into the King Arthur legend.

What kind of a parent grounds their child from READING! XD

Chavezz: Pulls out a knife Skitten: Pulls out a shotgun "Did you say weapons?"

There actually was a gay army in Ancient Greece called that sacred band of Thebes. It was made up entirely of gay couples. The people who put it together had the idea that everyone fights better when trying to impress or defend their spouse. AND THEY WERE RIGHT

Chavez pulls out a knife Meanwhile Skitten is like “Mine’s bigger”

The greatest trick is misdirection. That is the ultimate lesson learned from having strict parents Trying to hide something as a kid? Stand by a far off semi-cluttered room that you know doesn’t have the thing in it because now they think your trying to guard whatever it is

"What nightclub let's you in with sweatpants" this is weird to hear as I'm in the UK where most nightclubs don't have dress codes, like fancy ones do but they are a minority, clubbing isn't usually a glamorous thing here. Well it may start that way but it'll end with you scoffing down junk food in a side alley whilst your friend throws up in the background at like 4am whilst unable to see stright.

There was an actual case where a man was caught at the scene of multiple murders but they couldn't convict him because they couldn't prove how he could have killed them. But when the man died they found out that he had a private compartment in his fake leg with a gun hidden in it.

I've actually written a set of rules on how to successfully be a Serial Killer.

Internet Historian going over WEAPONRY?! I'm giddy right now. Let's go! Personally, I'm melee all day, but love a good sniper rifle.

Chavezz: “are you fucking serious. I will take that shit away from you” Skitten: “I didn’t think it was going to be that sharp” Chavezz: “ *ITS A KNIFE* “ ……. “sorryforyellin”

He needs to get an air soft gun turret and when the cat comes to poop it gets blasted by harmless but alarming air soft bee bees.

Also the backwards parking thing is absolutely true when you're in an Eastern Asian country. That's what they are taught.

My parents grounded me from reading once too when I was ten. Mostly because they didn't know how else to ground me. Three days later my mom saw me intensely reading cereal boxes at breakfast and just gave up and ungrounded me on the spot. Also, what's chair restriction??

Remember, decibels are a logarithmic scale like earthquake magnitude (I.e. an increase of 10 dB is equivalent to being 10 times louder), not a linear scale like most other quantities. So 102 dB is approx 1% as loud as 120 dB, which is a significant reduction in volume

Chavezz's evil laugh is awesome

30:00 I would pick a spear. It has bludgeoning potential, can stab, and also has reach. It also doesn't require a whole bunch of training to use with at least moderate effectiveness. Chopping a good spear in half is not very easy to do.

31:41 - The Roman's used a type of javelin called a pilum, and it was an extremely effective weapon. The diffrence between the two is that the pulim had a feature that, when hitting a target, allowed it to break on impact. If it hit correctly into an enemies shield, it would take some time to dig it out (which might be fine to do, if you weren't in the middle of a battle). Even if it missed, it wouldn't be usable to the enemy, it'd just be a useless broken stick. A sword *can* be used to bludgeon someone, believe it or not. Its called "half-swording" - and if I remember right, Skallagrim made a video on it, if you want to look it up. Chavezz might want to use a war-hammer - they were used bash a shield or helm; or to pierce armor and (with enough force applied) easily kill an armored knight. However, in medieval times, this wasn't something that you'd *want* to do. Knights were valuable, and could be ransomed for a stupid amount of cash - and god-forbid if you're a peasant who just killed a knight. A peasant would carry a dagger - and if you want a few giggles - look up what a bollock dagger is. Hope you two have a good day/evening!

I can relate to the getting grounded from reading thing, lol. When I was younger, my parents had to move my bookshelf from my room into a completely different building, because I wouldn’t stop staying up all night reading.

There was an army of homosexual couples back in the ancient times that was VERY effective. I forgot what they were called, but the word Thebes keeps popping into my head. Edit: The Sacred Band of Thebes, made of 150 gay couples.

I like Chavez and Skitten arguing during the video.

Y'know that Japanese mace that was just a big ass stick with rounded metal nails in it? Kanabo I think? That'd be a great leg weapon.

Plaxico Burress you missed the best part of that story. After shooting himself with his own glock he was arrested for crime and eventually sentenced to 2 years in prison.

Skitten, Chavezz is right. Plaxico Burress was a wide receiver in the NFL. He won a Super Bowl with the NY Giants

When talking about silencers, if you use supersonic ammo, what you are also hearing is two reports at the same time too. One from the initial explosion and the sonic boom of the bullet. A silencer will help take care of the initial explosion portion. Still loud, but not as much.

Funny story about bows and arrows, a warbow that could penetrate plate armor would need very serious pull strength. Especially from a good distance.

Ya'll really did that intro without Skitten saying, "That's not a knife," ~pulls out KNIFE~ "This is a knife." :)

Honestly Chavezz and Skitten I have to thank both of you for Introducing me to 2 of my favorite history/informational channels (Salmonella and Internet Historian). I originally thought they were both just the usual history/informations channels just super boring with no personality just talking about history like they were reading from a Text Book.

Plaxeco sounds like a company that makes products for staples.

Skitten really be like: "That's not a knife... THIS is a knife!" (Says in Australian)

Chazz- "Australia doesn't have any guns" Me- *looks at my Sako 85 Black bear hunting rifle*

My neighbors had an absurd number of cats. Just tens of cats every night shitting and spraying piss everywhere. So after a point my dad just got a cage trap, would catch like a couple a day and then drive them some miles out to this farm and release them there so we didn't have to deal with it anymore.

"Oh you should know, can i make that force with my mouth?" You immediately came back with "are you sucking on the pin?"

Skitten should of been like, thats not a knife, this is a knife, *in crocodile dundee accent*, hahahahhaha

On November 28, 2008, Burress suffered an accidental, self-inflicted gunshot wound to his right thigh at the nightclub LQ on Lexington Avenue in New York City when his Glock pistol in the pocket of his black-colored jeans began sliding down his leg; apparently in reaching for his gun, he inadvertently pressed the trigger, causing the gun to fire. The Manhattan District Attorney stated Burress was wearing jeans. The injury was not life-threatening and Burress was released from an area hospital the next afternoon. Two days later, Burress turned himself in to police to face charges of criminal possession of a handgun. It was later discovered that New York City police learned about the incident only after seeing it on television and were not called by NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital as required by law. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg called the hospital actions an "outrage" and stated that they are a "chargeable offense". Bloomberg also urged that Burress be prosecuted to the fullest extent, saying that any punishment short of the minimum 3½ years for unlawful carrying of a handgun would be "a mockery of the law." Burress had an expired concealed carry license from Florida, but no New York license.

Great reaction as always! That Gay bomb reminded me of my mandatory military service... Back then the transport trucks had no fancy seat modules so people basically had to sit on each other laps for safety... I remember the instructor saying "No worries boys, if you been with a woman you know what to do and if not, this will be good practice." Also when it came to training camps it was often joked that do not worry if you have to spoon a little during those cold wintery nights... It is not gay, just a manly friendship, two brothers looking after each others wellbeing. Oh! Also there was a study once that during the wartime it was quite commen men helped each other to relieve but it was not that much spoken as it was considered as a big taboo... However from the diaries and memoirs they have concluded things like that did happen and was more common than people liked to admit.

Tim Cook is the CEO of this small independent company called Apple

"Why are they roasting he doesn't deserve it" trust me he deserve it.

Ok look. I almost always disagree with Skitten for asshole-ish purposes. But breakfast food is literally the best.

I have a theory on why her dad took a picture of the romance novel, he probably didnt know if it was a romance novel or not, I know personally as a man i can't tell the difference between a romance novel and goosebumps, so he prob needed to take a picture and have her mom confirm that it was a romance novel.

Cutting spears in half with a sword is a lot harder than people think. Those things are made from really dense wood, you want a stick you could otherwise beat someone to death with... then you put a spike on the end just to be an asshole.

Spartans used to engage in homosexual relations with one another to strengthen their bonds on the battlefield. Spartans.

spears really are OP. It's the reach aspect. You can reach someone easy with a spear from much farther away then with a sword. Always go with the spear

Wood used for spears is supposed to be quite sturdy and be somewhat resistant to sword strikes. You could also just get a metal only spear but it would be heavy.

I love learning about different weapons this was a fun video from Internet Historian and reaction from you two.

Dear God about time you guys reacted to this lol

That’s not a kniof this is a knoif

Look up pillums - Romans hard coad threw their spears. They had one badass spear that they used for everything. It even had a big metal wieght and 4 feet of metal stalf just to make sure that no one could ever chop the shaft near the tip. Just an all purpouse pointy stick.

29:49 Dude, poleaxe. Stabbing, slashing/cutting, bludgeoning, blocking, and range to fend off attackers at a distance.

Javelins were devastating, but were used by lines of "skirmishers". Very light armored, fast moving combatants who could run up, cause casualties and potentially serious damage, easily run away, and never come within the swing of a single sword. However, if they're paper, and infantry are rock, then cavalry was scissors. It's shocking how generally accurate that comparison is.

Bro this man chavezz really got some luxury hair, like i can see that scene from family guy with peter leaping through the grass only its his hair.

i know way too much about old melee weapons... but if i had to pick one and only one, pole-axe, i won't bore you with "why" cause that would take too long to explain.

Grounded from reading... let that sink in.

Another Great video! Keep up the great work but remember to keep safe you two!

41:14 the emphasis on “Hoover” fucking killed me!

for the old weapons It would be a good old war hammer. nice sharp point on the top, pretty heavy and a nice crow hook on the back and a nice flat blunt hammer side. war hammers were amazing weapons its like a spear with the spike on top of it. its heavy and easy to cave in armor. the crow hook for yanking people off horses. its a pretty round about weapon. some are super long and some have much heavier heads. like a nice balanced war hammer is pretty top tier weapon. its not really a fast weapon but its hard to block. the different ways to use it is really nice.

39:04 oh my god I straight died man you killed ME with that snap back joke hahaha.

Y’all need to watch an episode of history’s deadliest warrior on Spike. It explains historical weapons, the cultures that used them, and pits those soldiers against each other in a simulated battle. Explained the spear advantages really well

5:07 Ay, I got the same situation! My neighbour has 2 cats but tbh she doesn't take care of them, she used to give them a bowl of food but she's stopped, can't let them starve so we're feeding them. They've gotten so used to us that they come inside the house and just chill, our garden is pretty much their home now. Aren't our cats but they pretty much are now. And they don't even shit in our yard, don't know where they go but there is a forest nearby so prob there.

Yall are clearly in true love. It stands up to jokes. Thats real fukn love

Historically Chav is correct, the spear was KING of the battlefield for ease of use and range

I love the video starting with Skitten basically going, "That's not a knife...THIS is a knife," like Crocodile Dundee

best medieval weapon are polearms: spears, halberds, pole hammers, billhooks, etc. BECAUSE they are FANTASTIC at keeping people at bay not able to hit you while you're able to stab, smash, or slice them.

You’re not gonna cut through the shaft of a spear, with a sword, in the middle of a fight. You might snap it if you really lay into it, with a great sword maybe.

Excalibur was the sword given to Arthur by the lady in the lake, the sword he pulled from the stone was actually called Clarent.

You cant cut a spear in half...well you can but you got to be Hercules and have the sharpest sword.

Skitten look to happy with that miniature sword

I sort of did the same thing with the smuggling of horror movies, except instead of horror, they were teen comedies like American Pie

Chavez’s gun collection must be fire

You call that a knife? This is a knife. -Skitten

To clarify: Caliburn is the sword Arthur pulls from the stone, Caliburn breaks in battle, and Arthur is taken to the lake to receive Excalibur.

a fbi worker went to a club with a glock with safety not on, there is a story on inside edition on it

Im sorry skitten but chavezz is right on the spears i pratice with these weapons and spears are a nightmare to go against with a sword and no you cannot cut a spear shaft with a sword at least not in one go

I'm way late, but in germany we get taught that backwards parking has the advantage that when you're leaving you can see the traffic easier so your not backing up into traffic.

Spent 7 years in Asia. The car parking is so small that pulling out and getting equal space on both sides is much easier when you are backed in.

Holy shit, the last suppressed gunshot when they were doing the game show bit sounds exactly like the sound effect for the sr-25 in socom US Navy seals

(13:08) I've heard of that before, so your not using the pillow to quiet the shot, your using the pillow so there's no blood spatter in your direction, or something like that

Not being allowed to read is like not being allowed to imagine. That's crazy

48:00 it’s like one said at the end “let’s just bs and add a shit load of work for the editor to do” and the other one was like “oh man I have just the idea remember my breakfast I told you about?”

notice she looked at her finger before saying ow... these two are precious and loveable

my favourite style in shooters is also the masterful spray and pray style! :D works errytime when it works!

To be fair 95% of all hunting rifles are more powerful than an ar15/m16 since a 5.56 or .223 is technically a 22 caliber bullet

Breakfast food is the best. Cheese omelets, bacon, bacon gravy, biscuits, hashbrowns (depending how they are made), pancakes/waffles, butter on EVERYTHING... breakfast sandwiches. Hell, I like breakfast food so much I'll sometimes cook these things for dinner. Oh so yummy.

The evil laugh in the intro>>>

You haven't lived till you had a good breakfast. It like restarts your body.

I love her absolute disbelief about Plaxico's name.

If breakfast is the worst meal, then why in the US are there numerous examples of successful restaurant chains that serve breakfast all-day, but no such thing as restaurants that serve dinner all-day? Those places would rather not open at all than embarrass themselves by attempting to compete with breakfast.

Youre right btw. The best medieval weapons are the MACE and the SPEAR. Yeah swords look great and whatnot. But at the end of the day, if you get hit in the head a mace. Youre probably not waking up

I agree with Chavezz on breakfast food. Tbh I just skip breakfast and wait for lunch. I do like bacon and eggs though.

the back to school sale is lit

In experience, Suppressors are more for Flash suppression and misdirection. Even with a suppressor, especially in a warzone, no one disputes that it is a suppressed weapon BUT there is no visual report at all

Who grounds ther kids for reading

A lot of guns with a suppressor (depends on the weapon, handguns are louder) will still be around 100-120 dB. Really, they just allow you to shoot many weapons technically without ear protection.

Hope y'all have a good anniversary

SPEARS FOR THE WIN!! That's why Donatello's my favorite turtle

BREAKFAST IS THE BEST MEAL, THIS IS THE HILL I DIE ON.

Skitten be like that’s not a knife! That’s a knife!!!

My foot weapon would be a medieval flail attachment

I have a custom made damascus bowie and an assortment of switchblades along with my greatest shame a katana.

Crossbow sword Plus, there’s such thing as the RIP-type ammunition
