@TheManperson Good point. I just thought that many cultures would have some kind of distraction tactic to set up a finishing blow. I didn't know that isn't the case. Anyway, when you first came on here, I underestimated you.

Most cultures didn't go for the eyes, or at least they didn't go for the eyes with sands or poison. Most warrior cultures never bothered trying to focus on such an attack, considered it cheap or dishonorable, or attacked the eyes with things like arrows or slings or melee weapons. SWAT teams use flashbang grenades to disorient and capture people without harming them, while ninjas used it to escape from a fight or set up a killing blow, with no care for what damage the juice does.

@TheManperson Thrand did say he did a "Jackass" having pepper thrown into his eyes, I'll say that. Anyway, I still think all warrior cultures/classes, not just the Zulus and ninjas, did some form of metsubushi. Even today, SWAT teams and armed forces alike use flashbang grenades to get an initiative just like, for example, a ninja shooting onion juice at his victim's eyes. Just wanted to get that out of the way.

@TheManperson

Especially since Tazers are designed to cause non-serious damage to the person in the long run, while the same can't be said for the poisons that the Ninja and Shaka Zulu used. Someone being tazed causes pain and a lockup of their muscles, but there's very little chance of a serious injury. Spraying stuff into peoples eyes has a huge chance of going wrong, and Thrand/Eldgrimir are crazy for doing it for real.

@EhSteve8690

Ninja/Spartan: Because it was their very first episode and they didn't have the money to handle if someone got hurt, and they likely wouldn't have gotten aired if they were that dangerous.

Shaka/Wallace: Tazers are designed not to cause permanent damage, while someone being sprayed in the eyes with caustic peppers could be VERY dangerous.

Mild electrical shocks running through your body is less dangerous than having caustic substances sprayed into your eyes.

@TheManperson I know it's three months late for this comment, but DW allowed someone to be tazed in the SWAT Team episode. I don't see why they didn't allow something like pepper spray in the Spartan vs Ninja and Shaka Zulu vs William Wallace episodes.

@ThegnThrand

"No, I meant for tossing ground peppers like what happened to Thrand and the spit of poison from the Shaka Zulu episode."

He was asking why Deadliest Warrior didn't test highly caustic substances on actual human eyeballs. The reason should be obvious to pretty much anyone.

[ThegnThrand]

@TheManperson We did throw actual blinding power on the test that Eldgrimr did on me and yes it was real that was permeated with pepper.

[TheManperson]

@EhSteve8690

You're asking why they DIDN'T throw ground pepper into somebodies eyes?

That should be fairly self evident...

[ThegnThrand]

@EhSteve8690 That is correct we used the time honored Japanese tradition of Throwing Chop sticks but note the Samurai's and higher Caste Chop sticks were made from metal ours is wood. Yes I was putting as much force behind the Aspis/Hoplon as I could we tried adding weight too to no avail to see if that made a difference. If the shield was that damaging they would have never stopped using that design 45G's ? Ours weighted 16 lbs they said 24 lbs but historically most were around what we used.
