Technology and history collide head-on in this action-packed series, where we witness first-hand the power of pivotal world-changing weapons. But did the ancient craftsman get it right or could we make a better weapon today with modern materials, science and techniques?

Weapons Master Mike Loades, has spent a lifetime studying and wielding these weapons. Mike swings swords, shoots bows, fires guns and hurls all manner of weapons with the best of them. Master craftsman Chad inhabits an uber-equipped shop and can make anything, but is he really a match for history's master craftsmen and can he beat them at their own game?

In each episode the show's modern weapon is pitted against the traditionally built example. Will the modern sword cleave a bullet clean in two, can the modern crossbow shoot farther or will the traditional weapon reign supreme?
