Unused Weapons

In Deadliest Warrior, some weapons appear during testing or the simulation that doesn't appear in the official weapons list of the warrior.

Cannons

Due to being a siege weapon requiring an entire crew, early cannons are only tested to compare with another siege weapon that was commonly used. Anti personal cannon is only tested against another similar cannon. [Pirates, Cortés, Pancho Villa]

Bayonet

Many warriors in the show have bayonets but are untested, possibly because the other enemy has a bayonet also and there would be no edge against each other. Instead, another melee weapon is used. [Washington, Napoleon, Musketeer]

Rajput Warriors

Twin Hooks

In a short video when two rajput opened a sack full of rajputana weapons their where a pair of twin hooks in it but it was not shown in list or in the simulation ,probably because the rajputs in the deadliest warrior where known to use a very different arsenal then any of the warriors and twin hooks where already used in arsenal of shaolin monks.

Gladiator

Pugio

In the episode, the Gladiator killed another gladiator by cutting his throat with the Pugio dagger. This weapon is more used for finishing off an enemy than actual combat. This knife has also been used by Roman Centurions.

Viking

Bow and Arrow

The episode showed Vikings hunting with bows and using fire arrows to burn houses.

Ninja

Makibishi Caltrop

Caltrops appeared in the testing but were not used due to no lethality.

Sai

Sais were shown in testing but were too short ranged.

Net

A net was used in combination with the ninjato during training.

A sword commonly found near the Mediteranean sea. Although not native to Greece, some Spartans did use this larger hacking sword. This sword is in the videogame as the Spartan's weapon.

Pirate

Musket

Some scenes showing pirates raiding a ship had some pirates using muskets. This was rare as muskets were more expensive than pistols and blunderbusses and the close range fighting of being on a ship would make them unwielding.

Cannon

The pirate cannons were not tested since they were not introduced on the show and might have been too powerful against a knight.

Knight

Flanged Mace

During the scenes of fighting between two Knight armies, one of the Knights was using a Flanged Mace. This Mace would be used in the video game.

Shaolin Monk

Meteor Hammer

In the simulation, this was the first weapon used in the fight against the Maori as well as in a dramatization showing the Monks fighting off bandits. It acts similarly to the whipchain.

Wind and Fire Wheels

Some scenes of testing shows these weapons used as melee weapons and projectiles. Because the Maori had no projectiles, this weapon was not used as it would give the monk an unfair advantage.

Yakuza

Katana

A Katana or a similar sword appeared at testing and the beginning of the fight but not used at all. The Aftermath mentions that using the Katana in a gangster fashion is dishonorable, and that it would actully be a hinderance do to making the user a big target.

Stiletto

Straight Razor

This was also shown off by the experts, and could be seen on their weapons table. It was replaced in testing by the Ice Pick.

Garrote

Another weapon shown off on the weapons table, probably discarded because of the need for stealth to be effective. It was later the Short Range weapon of the CIA.

William Wallace

Derringer

A picture of a small Derringer pistol was posted on Jesse James's bio page at Spike.com. It was likely going to be Jesse's special weapon, but dropped for having a range advantage over Al Capone's brass knuckles.

Model 24 grenade

One scene showing the Nazis in a fight had one of them throw a Model 24 grenade. This was replaced by the bouncing betty.

Somali Pirate

Revolver

A revolver was shown being used by one of the experts. Since the Cartel didn't have a signature pistol, the revolver wasn't used in the fight.

Aztec Jaguar

Tepoztopilli

Tepoztopilli is a spear with obsidian blades on the tip. The tip is covered in a way similar to the Macuahuitl, the more common weapon for Aztec Jaguars.

CIA

Cane Gun

A cane gun is seen on the CIA's table but wasn't used, probably for its only single fire capability.
