I posted a poll on my bruiser thread to find out if people wished to see a video of the Gladius chopping up a roadkill deer into pieces small enough to dispose of in a trash receptacle. The results were very much in favor of me posting it up, but the few dissenters agreed that with enough notice of warning posted they would easily have the freedom of choice to just not click on the video to watch it.
To respect those wishes, I am not embedding the video so that you may willfully choose to go watch the video despite the warnings, or not. This is not a public video, it is unlisted and rated for viewer discretion, so please respect the notices and decide for yourself if you wish to watch it or not, but do not give me a hard time about it.
The video is educational on the potential damage one of these blades we collect can do if it makes contact with the wrong target, either intentionally or on accident, so please be careful when using your blades as well. No living creature was harmed in the making of this video.
Some of the chops are very light force as I was hesitant to make too much of a mess or make contact with any metal. None of the swings were beyond 2/3 strength, so bear that in mind as well. First swing was base of skull at top of neck. Second swing was base of neck. The first torso shot was through the spine, but I misjudged the blade length so it was not a clean cut. The rest are pretty self evident in the video.
I hope this video only serves to either educate or entertain while completing a necessary task. My intent is not to offend as we have all seen much worse on our tv. This experience reminded me that I am thankful I don't live in the ancient Spartan, Greek, Roman or similar era where using these tools on other people was common place, but instead live in a relatively peaceful society where people wish to not harm each other.
Happy Thanksgiving,

With that, here is the video.
