The “flying” guillotine wasnt used like frisbee. Its more so accurate to call it a “portable gullotine, since that is actually wat it was.
Bettany Hughes is so beautiful!
sounds a bit like napalm
@14:30 guy needs to quit his day job
The flying guillotine’s saddest victim is the life of bushido brown
This people hve to much imagination! There not builders architects to be 💯 sure of the weapons they just run with there imagination and put it out there for people to believe
While you wer charging up my gun was ready
i thought mike paul was scott weiland
Boondocks anyone?
Master of the flying GUILLOTINE, awsome old school martial arts movie
Reminds me of Indiana Jones
18:38 uh… um… hm… nuclear bombs? Fire bombing?
Why is Richard’s body enclosed in a protective suit but his head is not?
shaolin monks where you at! can i get a SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
ah yes… the ancients… I remember learning about… the ancients… in school… very technical stuff…
Flying guillotine assassins most likely rode on horseback
because it’s fantasy all that ninja s*** it’s fake as f***
Unbelievable is correct, because I don’t believe them
Bro is real life scorpion☺️😏
Shaolin master lol
So much intelligence pours out of individual human beings.,and at the same time they are demonstrating incompetence to the fullest
He is a Shaolin master 🤣
Yaknow what they say, a peaceful nation doesn’t have to progress. A Waring nation is rapidly forced too progress.
The so called “flying gulliotine” is clearly an execution tool, not a weapon. Not meant for covert, suprise, attacks at all. All of the reasons for it’s design are quite logical, and not complex at all.
1) It reduces clean up and mess by capturing the head and containing it.
2) reduces splatter
3) allows the executioner to operate at a distance. Pulling the cord from farther away and thus being clean and free from the bloody bother of hacking off a head up close.
This is for enemies that were already captured, tied up, blindfolded, and placed on their knees. The bag placed over their head is the last thing they knew. Then 1…2… 3…*tug* and it’s all over. Head in a box.
Perfect for delivering the head of a wanted criminal, enemy of a ruler, etc.
Shows a huge explosion, and then talks about claymors lol
Who ever wrote the script and edited the video did a terrible job fact checking anything. The only people accurate were the historians.
The original yo-yo was a weapon with blades on it and worked like a circular saw blade💯
The decapitator imo was likely used by walking up behind someone, dropping it on the had and running away as fast as possible in a crowd. but idk
The flying gulliotine I don’t know if they took the design and the technique of it from the movie the flying gulliotine. I assume that the design and technique from the movie itself is same as from history itself since there is no plans or much mention of it, unless a few can find the whole plans and design of it.
I always wondered from the movie if the flying guillotine was real.
Everyone comments I miss this show like they’re not watching it on there phone
So Richard turned a ball valve.…f@ckin talent from the 90s.
I kind of want to watch Mike and Ian battle to the death. I reckon a simulation would suffice.
I tbink you have flyong guotein wrong i tbink i was created to bring back heads and proof for warrent for bounty hunting
