Instruments of Death
This gripping series shows how some of history's deadliest weapons were used and how they shaped history's great battles and wars. Through a series of modern experiments, presenters Karl Ude-Martinez and Kevin Hicks give viewers a close-up look at the effects of blades and bullets on the human body. They show how weapons and body armour were developed to inflict the bloodiest and most untreatable wounds possible. It's the story of how science and technology enabled brutal ambition and national defense alike.
