Between the title and the childish narration it just shows how far the History Channel has sunken.

My mom's flying slipper Outta nowhere is the most dangerous weapon.

[josephtabar]

The only weapon that I can think that would be more lethal is my mother's bean

[savethewp]

My mom has hanger. My father has belt. Theyre lethal too. Inflicts maximum damage to me all the time

[stefanschleps]

I've always been a fan of the "PepperBox" and the "KnuckleDuster". How about a video on odd weapons of the Old West?

[Vladpryde]

Anything that Samuel Colt or John Moses Browning came up with should be on there. Both men shaped the very fabric of modern firearms as we know them today.

Waghnakh literally means "nails of tiger" in marathi language.
Wagh=tiger 🐅
Nakh=nails 💅🏻

Okay, you name a weapon, then show pictures completely unrelated to it, such as the mancatcher with pictures of a Western lariat, a butterfly net, and a cozy scarf. If America's Funniest Home Videos attempted to talk about weapons, this is the show they'd do. Stick to the actual items and how they were employed in combat.

Bagh nakh was used all over the subcontinent from the ancient ages.

[pjpammyj]

Tiger claw!!!🐅+🦞=up close protection
Greek fire!!!🇬🇷+🔥=long range awesomeness. Wa ha ha

[delmccormack]

The axe. Name a more prolific weapon. The axe. See what I did there?

[LucidDreamer]

At 2:34 What is a "solidier"?

[jkozelek]

They forgot to add Tom Brady's arm.

[effeojnedib]

Nice group of weapons. The tomahawk has been and still is a formidable weapon in the right hands, depending on the style, length and weight. Also the kukri in the right hands. Yet in modern times, the weapon responsible for the deaths of more innocent victims than any other, is the machete.

[danietchart]

What about the Huo Long Chu Shui? China had bamboo, gunpowder, arrows, and just add a dragon head; in a way, China created the very first militaristic rocket.

[gokulthirumal]

Please bring valari(iron boomerang) into this list!! Too lethal that British empire banned its usage all over india!!

[GoodDeedsBowieTX]

Automatic Fire, , I heard that before.

[rogerthat-]

I find it "Ironic" that in the 2nd 300 movie the Greeks have it used against them & have no way to counter it.

[brockphilips]

Some of those weapons are more funny than scary.
