** Of course, we also can't ignore the fact that the preceding test with the Israeli Ka-Bar was pretty damn impressive. Lesson learned: don't piss either of these guys off if they're holding a knife.

* The finale of the battle between Jesse James and Al Capone was particularly awesome. [[spoiler: Also, since the Jesse James gang is portrayed as sort of of a {{Band of Brothers}} as opposed to Capone's BadBoss approach, it can also be seen as somewhat of a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming]].

''Season 1''



* The finale of the battle between Jesse James and Al Capone was particularly awesome. [[spoiler: Also, since the Jesse James gang is portrayed as sort of of a {{Band of Brothers}} as opposed to Capone's BadBoss approach, it can also be seen as somewhat of a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming]].
** [[spoiler: Particularly when one theorizes that the surviving gang member is probably Jesse's brother Frank.]]
* The Aztec Jaguar gets two: To test an obsidian bladed club, they ''decapitated a horse''. A gel torso replica, but still... Later, to test his knife, the Aztec expert ''carves open the gel torso's chest'' and ''[[BeatStillMyHeart rips out it's heart!]]''
** Which is then topped by the Zande, when their close range weapon decapitates a gel torso in one strike, and the resident surgeon Armand Dorian declares it to have, "surgical precision". And then the Zande representative starts drinking up the squirting blood.



* When testing Vlad the Impaler's sword, the [[http://www.spike.com/video/mutiliation-murder/3418876 kilij]], a guy who looks more like a member of [[{{Metalocalypse}} Dethklok]] than a weapons expert shreds a pig in a display that gets the weapon called "the first sword that can rival the [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]]."
* In [=SEALs=] vs. Israeli commandos, there was [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPM1TO_al84 Rob Roy testing the [=SEALs'=] Recon 1 knife.]] Awesomeness ensued. The look of shock on Max's face and his complete speechlessness says it all.
** Moreover because of how dinky it looked compared to the Ka-bar when he and the Israeli were standing next to each other. Think about it: that knife is about three inches long, and Roy did to the gel torso what most people would need a sword to do.
* When Abdi Ali (the Somali pirate rep) was able to hit four targets, 50 and 100 yards away, and kill them all. Made all the more impressive as he's using an AK-47--a gun that's usually considered inaccurat-- and also it was from a boat that was moving and unsteady. Then again, Abdi is an Iraq War veteran, leading to fans complaining that he didn't represent a typical pirate.

There is no implication at all. Nobody is given names (aside from Jesse/Capone), personality, or anything.


** Even more so when you consider that it seems implied that its Jesse's brother, Frank James, that saves Jesse in the end.
