256 00:16:35,260 --> 00:16:36,260 The hit to the hand. 257 00:16:37,260 --> 00:16:39,260 Would that force you to drop the gun? 258 00:16:40,260 --> 00:16:49,260 Well, Jamie with a short straw drawn adds extra protection and prepares to face the whip cracking might of the whip master. 259 00:16:52,260 --> 00:16:53,260 Ow. 260 00:16:58,260 --> 00:17:03,260 I'm positive I wouldn't have been able to hold on to that gun if I didn't have this glove on. 261 00:17:03,260 --> 00:17:08,260 It would be equivalent to somebody slicing at your hand with a sharp knife. 262 00:17:10,260 --> 00:17:12,260 Oh, he dropped the gun. 263 00:17:12,260 --> 00:17:13,260 Yep. 264 00:17:13,260 --> 00:17:18,260 Without padding, Jamie's dropping the gun every single time. 265 00:17:18,260 --> 00:17:23,260 Yeah, I don't think there's any way I would have been able to hold on to this if I hadn't had this protection. 266 00:17:23,260 --> 00:17:33,260 So Anthony, it strikes me that we have enough experimental evidence gathered thus far to conclude that the first appearance of a whip in Rangers of the Lost Ark is actually pretty reasonable. 267 00:17:33,260 --> 00:17:38,260 That it is feasible to disarm someone with a gun if you're only holding a whip. 268 00:17:38,260 --> 00:17:39,260 Would you agree?
