to say the two met in the square faced
each other sideways and drew
simultaneously Tut missed and Hickok
landed a bullet in Tut’s left ribcage
cuts last words were boys I’m killed
though this seems to be just the way it
is in the movies it was rare for such a
shootout to play out this way
nonetheless this immortalized gunslinger
duels in the Wild West get down off your
horse or face the consequences

device it’s the honest ones you want to
watch out for you can never predict
they’re gonna do something incredibly
stupid

officers dueled it out with swords due
to an insult levied by Colonel ballads
effete against royal guard captain Hulda
vows uniform cockade bal beads fed
easily disarmed Rowell several times but
was not satisfied the two decided to be
much more extreme they agreed to have
their left arms bound together in the
back of a moving carriage with both
armed with daggers
they’ve brutally stabbed each other as
the carriage made its rounds bal beards
fete emerged from the carriage the
victor and Raoul was dead however Val
being Safed died a few days later anyway
I called number 7 Alexander Pushkin vs.
George dantos French military officer
Josh Alda eek aha des allegedly pursued
Russian author Alexander Pushkin’s wife
Natalia and not surprisingly Pushkin was
furious perhaps to better his chances
somehow Dante’s married Natalia’s sister
shortly after their marriage Pushkin
wrote a letter denigrating Dante’s the
rivaling brother-in-law’s quickly found
themselves dueling in st. Petersburg
Russia On January 27th 1837
Dante’s fired first and shot Pushkin in
the stomach Pushkin rose and fired
giving Dante’s a minor bullet wound on
his right arm Pushkin died a few days
later though he had pardoned
Dante’s number 6 Andrew Jackson vs.
Charles Dickinson before becoming
president Andrew Jackson dueled lawyer
Charles Dickinson in 1806 Dickinson and
Jackson’s Feud originated with a poorly
handled horse racing bet between Jackson
and Dickinson’s father-in-law after a
year of insults the quarrel reached its
tipping point when Dickinson allegedly
insulted Jackson’s wife diction I tell
your wife what television – yeah she
sure is an ugly bitch a duel was called
for but since dueling wasn’t legal in
Tennessee they crossed over to Kentucky
Dickenson fired first and shot Jackson
in the chest but seemingly did not face
him Jackson Miss fired his gun
immediately recaulk tit took aim and
shot Dickinson dead
number 5 monsieur le peak vs. monsieur
de calais picture it paris france 1808 –
frenchman monsieur le peak and monsieur
ducrai famously agreed to a duel because
they both shared the same lover
but not just any duel a hot air balloon
duel because they thought they were too
good for a traditional duel armed with
shotguns 900 yards above the ground the
peak fired first
but somehow missed the Cobb face
subsequently blew away Lou peeks hot air
balloon and sent him tumbling to his
death to make matters worse both
duelists had a hot-air balloon pilot
with them so Luke Peaks pilot died as
well number four Miyamoto Musashi vs.
Sasaki Kojiro we go nice mocha II oh
yeah what you want equalizer by Raj
Amano she’s not gonna know you’re not
cheating us about this by hearing about
the exploits of fellow Japanese
swordsman Sasaki Kojiro Ronin Miyamoto
Musashi arranged for a duel to be fought
on a remote Japanese island on April 13
16:12 to psychologically throw kojirou
off Musashi arrived hours late by boat
and even fashioned an oversized Bokan or
wooden sword out of one of his oars for
the duel we don’t want the numbers after
this call joy nobody was good
how about him but remember
furious at his opponents tardiness
kojirou lunged at Musashi and failed to
execute his famous swallow cut Musashi
knocked Kazuto down with his oversized
bouken killing him and rode away but she
sure lady you know dying to get up
number three
Alexander Hamilton versus Aaron Burr
Alexander Hamilton hates Aaron Burr
here’s why Aaron Burr is a politician
from New York and he doesn’t care about
the people he simply wants to be the
president United States because there’s
power in vice president Aaron Burr
dueled Alexander Hamilton former
secretary of the Treasury after a series
of political quarrels because apparently
that’s how you solved things in the 19th
century on July 11 1804 the two departed
New York and met in Weehawken New Jersey
which less rigorously prosecuted dueling
they’re each handed their pistols
they walk the 10 paces Hamilton fired
into the air and missed
perhaps treating this as an affair of
Honor or perhaps just because he was a
bad shot burr
conversely shot above Hamilton’s right
hip causing organ damage and the bullet
lodged into Hamilton spine killing him
the next day ironically Hamilton’s son
had died in November 1801 the result of
a duel to protect his father’s honor
number two humphrey Howarth versus the
Earl of Barrymore Bates nice Hugh Levin
British MP Humphrey Howarth squared off
against the Earl of Barrymore due to a
drunken quarrel after an evening of
races in Brighton England in 1806 the
not so fit and past his prime Howarth
showed up and supposedly disrobed before
Barrymore which needless to say shocked
onlookers Howarth had previously been a
military surgeon and understood that
most people who are killed by bullet
wounds actually died from infection due
to unclean clothing being pushed into
the wound by the bullet so Howard
stripped naked to increase his chances
Barrymore understandably felt awkward
and neither shot the other allowing both
to walk away honorably ish
before we get to our number1 duel let’s
review some honorable mentions
number one general class waffle yes
alavés versus general plz pong Delita
you have insulted me I have strained my
patient to do so I demand an apology

Julia sword by god I’ll teach you down
the street like a chicken enraged phoney

duels over the next two decades these
