Disclaimer: I do not own Deadliest Warrior
NARRATOR: The SOE. The british spy unit that helped win WWII for the allied forces.
( SOE agents dressed in white, skiing through a snowy field. SOE agents shooting enemies in front of a building.)
The Gestapo. The ruthless german secret police who terrorized europe for over a decade.

WHO... IS... DEADLIEST?!
To find out, our world class fighters are testing histories most lethal weapons. Using 21st century science, we'll see what happens when two warriors go toe-to-toe. No rules, no safety no mercy. It's a duel to the death to the death to decide who is... THE DEADLIEST WARRIOR!
Here at the fight club, we've assembled a group of doctors, scientists, and military historians to test the weapons of two of the most fearsome fighters of WWII.
GESTAPO
Reign of Terror: 1933-1945
Height: 6'
Weight: 175 lbs
Allegiance: Adolf Hitler
SOE
Years active: 1940-1946
Height: 5'11''
Weight: 185 lbs
Missions: Covert and Paramilitary ops
DR. DORIAN: Out of all of our match-ups, this one is probably the least deadliest warrior themed. These two actually faced off in real life, but only in small skirmishes. In here this is going to be a full on battle to see who would win.
NARRATOR: representing the Gestapo is Michel Hemrovich, a decesnent of the Gestapo. And also representing the Gestapo is Kyle Emsbry, a Gestapo weapons and tactics specialist.
And representing the SOE is Justin Mcrevy, an SOE expert, and Colin Armstrong, grandson of the SOE commisioner.
To start off, we will test both warrior's long range weapons.
The Gestapo take aim with...
MAUSER KAR 98
Effective Range: 550 yds
Ammo: 7.92x 57mm
Weight: 8.2 lbs
Feed: 5 rounds
MICHEL: This was Hitler's favorite gun. It was commonly used as a sniper rifle, and was very accurate.
JUSTIN: Well thats not gonna do you any good if your coming around a corner. Your gonna want something small and concealable.
NARRATOR: The SOE strike back with the crossbow
CROSSBOW
Effective Range: 100 yds
Length: 25in
Weight: 5 lbs
Folding Metal, Rubber Loops
JUSTIN: This was what the SOE used if they needed a long range, silent weapon. It was reliable, and small.
NARRATOR: To test the Mauser, Kyle will have to hit 3 targets at 100 yds.
DESMOULIN: 3, 2, 1, GO!
Kyle shots at the 1st target, hitting it in the chest. He bolted the rifle and shot it again in the chest. He then took aim at the 2nd target, but missed. He re-aimed, and hit it in the head. He aimed at the last target, shooting it in the gut.
DR. DORIAN: This 1st shot is a kill. It goes right through the heart. The 2nd shot is also a kill, him in the right lung, killing him. This 2nd target you shot right in the mouth, killing him instantly. The final target you hit in the stomach. This would go right through the aorta, and he would bleed to death.
NARRATOR: Kyle killed all 3 targets, 4 out of 5 hit, in 22 seconds.
Now to test the crossbow, Colin will have to kill 3 targets, 1 of which is made from ballistics gel, from 25 yards away.
DESMOULIN: 3, 2, 1, GO!
Colin aims and shoots for the gel torso, hitting it in the chest. He then begins the cumbersome reload of the weapon. When he finishes, he aims at the target to the right, hitting it in the eye. After 1 more reload, he fires and hit the last target in the neck.
DR. DORIAN: This 1st bolt goes through the sternum, and into the aorta. This is a kill. The 2nd shot goes right into the brain, also a kill. This last shot actually severs the spinal column, instantly killing him.
NARRATOR: Colin killed all 3 targets, but in 44 seconds.
( Guys go to determine the edge)
DESMOULIN: The obvious edge goes to the Mauser. It has a longer range, faster reload, and more power.
DR. DORIAN: Though that is true, I think that the crossbow has an advantage in that in a battle, no one will hear the shot, giving you stealth and time to reload.
GIEGER: Geoff is right. The mauser is by far the better weapon. Edge, Mauser.
NARRATOR: For long range weapons, the edge goes to the Mauser Kar 98.
EDGE: GESTAPO
NARRATOR: The 2 teams move in with sub machine guns.
The SOE use...
WELGUN
Range: 110 yds
Ammo: 9x19mm
Mag: 32 rounds
500 RPM
JUSTIN: This was an experimental SMG. It was small, and had a unique folding stock over the gun, instead of to the side.
NARRATOR: The Gestapo strike back with the Sturmgewehr 44.
STG 44
Range: 660 yds
Ammo: 7.92x 33mm
Mag: 30 rounds
600 RPM
MICHEL: This is not an SMG. This was actually the 1st assault rifle. It combines the long range of a rife, and the speed of firing of an SMG.
NARRATOR: To test these 2 weapons, the 2 warriors will go through a simulated battle ground. There are 2 targets behind a sandbag barrier, and then 3 in 2 buildings. 1 in each window, 1 moving in between the 2. They will be shooting from 25 yards.
First up is Kyle with the Welgun.
DESMOULIN: 3, 2, 1, GO!
Justin takes aim at the 2 targets behind the sandbags, spaying the 1st in the chest and head. He then takes aim at the next target, centering his fire into the chest, blowing a cavity in the chest. He then takes aim at the moving target, and empties his magazine into it. Then he reloads, and takes aim at the last 2 targets, spraying their chests.
DR. DORIAN: The 1st dummies you hit in basically every vital area in the upper body. This is a kill. The 2nd guy, you blew his chest out, he's dead. The moving target is only wounded. The shots only hit his gut, and with this being such a small caliber, he would probably live. The other 2 are dead, shots to the heart and brain
NARRATOR: Justin killed 4 out of 5 of the targets in 46 seconds.
Up next is Kyle with the STG 44.
DESMOULIN: 3, 2, 1, SHOOT EM' UP!
Kyle takes aim at the 1st target and shoots a few rounds into the chest, blasting it off. He shoots at the 2nd target's head, then moves on to the moving target, spraying it's chest. He then switches to semi-auto and hits each of the last targets 3 times, once in the head, twice in the chest.
DR. DORIAN: The 1st 2 targets are obviously dead. The moving one you hit in the heart, killing him. The last 2 you killed, each one time in the brain, 2 times in each of the hearts.
KYLE: That is why the Gestapo used the STG. The bullet is big, so you need less shots.
( Guys go to determine the edge)
DESMOULIN: I think the STG 44 gets the edge. It shoots faster, harder, and it's more accurate.
DR. DORIAN: I agree. Edge: Gestapo.
NARRATOR: For medium ranged weapons, the Gestapo gets the edge with the STG 44.
EDGE: GESTAPO
NARRATOR: Now the 2 warriors will get into close range with their pistols.
For pistols, the SOE used the Webley & Scott 1907.
WEBLEY & SCOTT 1907
Range: 25 yds
Ammo: .25 ACP
Mag: 6 rounds
751 FPS
JUSTIN: This was used as a suppressed pistol. It was a small caliber, and was meant for close range.
NARRATOR: The Gestapo uses...
LUGER P08
Range: 55 yds
Ammo: 7.65x 21mm
Mag: 8 rounds
1148 FPS
NARRATOR: To test the 2 pistols, the 2 teams will have to go through a 2-room kill house. 1 dummy in in the 1st room, and 2 in the 2nd room. Who ever has the most targets hit with the smallest amount of time wins.
Up first is Colin with the Webley & Scott 1907.
DESMOULIN: 3, 2, 1, SHOOT EM' UP!
Colin goes into the 1st room and shoots the 1st dummy 2 times in the head.
He then breaks into the 2nd room and shoots the 2 dummies each 2 times in the head.
DR. DORIAN: These 1st 2 shots to the head are kills. The cool thing about low caliber bullets is that they're so light, the bounce around inside the skull, tearing up the brain. The same thing with these 2 guys. Hollowed out skulls.
NARRATOR: Now Kyle will go with the luger.
DESMOULIN: 3, 2, 1, GO!
Kyle shoots the 1st target 3 times in the chest, then moves on to the 2nd room. The 1st target he shoots twice in the head, but when he aims for the last target, the gun jams. He has to work with the gun for a few seconds, then fires the rest of the magazine into the dummy's head.
DR. DORIAN: This 1st dummy you shot is dead, with shots to the heart and aorta branch, killing him. The 2nd target you shot right through the brain, killing him. The last guy, you kind of blew his head off. He's dead.
DESMOULIN: All right guys. Colin, you killed all 3 targets in 11 seconds. Kyle, because of the jam, you killed all 3 targets, but did it in 25 seconds.
( Guys go to determine the edge)
DR. DORIAN: This one is kind of tough. You have the more powerful Luger, but it has a tendency to jam. And the you have the unpredictable Webley & Scott. It's so small, it could hit you in the chest, go right through, and do nothing. Or it can hit a rib, and rip up everything in your chest, making for a slow and painful death. I'm gonna go with the Webley & Scott, cause a shot to the head will kill you, but a misfire won;t do you any good.
DESMOULIN: I agree. The edge goes to the Webley & Scott 1907.
NARRATOR: For pistols, the SOE get the edge, with their Webley & Scott 1907.
EDGE: SOE
NARRATOR: Now the 2 teams will test their close range weapons.
For the Gestapo, the close range weapon of choice is the fighting knife
FIGHTING KNIFE
double-edged blade
1 lb
6in blade
stainless steel
KYLE: This weapon had a crank handle, and could be used as a bayonet.
NARRATOR: The SOE's weapon of choice is...
CRUCIFORM BLADE
Narrow, needle-like blade
1 oz
6 in blade
steel
JUSTIN: This was what the SOE fought with. It was usually concealed inside of a pencil, and was made for stabbing through thick clothing.
NARRATOR: To test the 2 warrior's close range weapons, they will have to inflict as much damage on a ballistics gel torso as possible.
Up 1st is Colin with the Cruciform blade.
DESMOULIN: 3, 2, 1, GO!
Colin stabbed at the dummy's eye, then into the other eye. He then stabs it in between the ribs in virtually every place possible.
DR. DORIAN: The 1st 2 stabs in the eyes went right into the brain and killed him. The stabs in the chest punctured the lungs, heart and aorta, killing him.
NARRATOR: Up next is Michel with the fighting knife.
DESMOULIN: 3, 2, 1, GO!
Michel stabs into the dummy's chest, then slashes it's neck. He then stabs it through the top of the head, and then leaves the blade in the dummy's stomach
DR. DORIAN: The 1st stab goes into the heart, killing this guy. You then severed his jugular veins and curated artery, killing him again. The stab into the top of the head kills him instantly, and the stab in the gut gets him in the aorta.
NARRATOR: But the SOE aren't finished yet. Now Colin will show us the fighting tactics of the SOE.
COLIN: For the SOE, there is no such thing as a fair fight. You always go for the cheap shots. Pinch, bite, cut, knee, anything. It is better to kill your enemy faster, as it is more humane.
( Guys go to determine the edge.)
GIEGER: I think that this is a tie. The fighting knife has more capabilities, but the way you fight with the cruciform blade and that it's concealable is a plus.
DR. DORIAN: I agree. Tie.
NARRATOR: For close range weapons, the 2 teams tie.
EDGE: DRAW
NARRATOR: For the last test, we will test the 2 warrior's special weapons.
The Gestapo's special weapon of choice is the stick grenade.
STICK GRENADE
Charge: 6 0z
Weight: 1.3 lbs
Effective Range: 30- 40 yds
Metal club head
NARRATOR: The SOE has 2 special weapons
PEN GUN
Internal Barrel
Range: 5 yds
Ammo: 6.35mm
Mag: 1 round
BELT GUN
Gun: Webley & Scott 1907
Range: 25 yds
Ammo: .25 ACP
Mag: 6 rounds
NARRATOR: To test the 2 weapons, we have a setting set up. There are 3 targets in a room. 1 gel torso is behind a desk. The other 2 targets are next to each other in the far corner.
Up 1st is Justin with the pen and belt gun combo.
DESMOULIN: 3, 2, 1, GO!
Justin starts sitting across from the 1st dummy. He aims with the pen gun and shoots the gel dummy in the head. He then drops the pen, stands up, and shoots his belt gun, 3 times in each of the last 2 targets.
DR. DORAIN: This 1st shot goes into the dummy's nose, and into the brain. This is a kill. The 2nd dummy you hit in the heart, and killed him too. The 3rd dummy, you didn't kill. You hit his stomach, liver, and intestines. If he doesn't get help, he will die, but he can still fight.
NARRATOR: Now Kyle will throw a grenade into the same room. The dummies are now outfitted with 34 and 100 G shock patches.
DESMOULIN: 3, 2, 1, GO!
Michel pulls the pin, and throws the grenade into the door, then runs for cover behind the ballistics glass shield. The grenade goes off, and sends shrapnel everywhere.
DR. DORIAN: All of the 100 G shock patches were tripped, which means all of the dummies were killed. This gel torso was obliterated by the blast, and is basically ripped into pieces. The other 2 are riddled with shrapnel in the chest, neck, and head.
( Guys go to determine the edge)
DR. DORIAN: I think the grenade gets the edge. You have more power.
DESMOULIN: No, I say the pen and belt gun get it. You get more chances, and it cant be used against you.
GIEGER: I agree with Geoff. Edge: SOE
NARRATOR: The edge goes to the SOE with their belt gun and pen gun combination.
EDGE: SOE
NARATOR: Now with the testing complete, we will enter the data into the battle simulation, developed by Slitherine Studios, to simulate a battle to the death between these 2 warriors. Who will win the battle of WWII operatives? The secretive SOE, or the ruthless Gestapo?
For Close range, the SOE's Cruciform Blade tied with the Gestapo's Fighting Knife.
For pistols, the SOE's Webley & Scott 1907 shot down the Gestapo's Luger P08.
For mid range, the Gestapo's STG 44 shot up the SOE's Welgun.
For long range, the Gestapo's Mauser Kar 98 out shot the SOE's crossbow.
And for special weapons, the SOE's Pen Gun and Belt Gun combo out did the Gestapo's stick grenade.
Max hits the button and the simulation begins.
The battle takes place in an abandoned office building (similar to the CIA vs. KGB map). In the basement, the door to an interrogation room opens, and 5 Gestapo men dressed in black trench-coats and black steel helmets walk in, dragging a wounded SOE commander in green uniform in. They sit him in a chair, chaining his hands to the table.
The next day, 4 SOE delegates walk up to the front of the building. 2 sneak around for the back, and 2 walk into the front door.
SOE: 5 GESTAPO: 5
Meanwhile, the Gestapo men split up. The commander goes to the roof to enjoy some coffee, 1 sits in the main office, to sign the release papers, 2 roam the hallway, and 1 guards the prisoner. The 2 SOE agents walk through the front door, and 1 Gestapo man escorts then to the main office to sign the release papers. The Gestapo man shuts the door behind them. The Gestapo delegate shows the 2 the release forms, and the SOE agent pulls out his pen. When he signs the paper, he takes aim, and fires his pen gun into the Gestapo man's face, killing him.
SOE: 5 GESTAPO: 4
The Gestapo guard outside hears the shot, and opens the door. The 2nd SOE agent sees him and pull out his welgun from his briefcase, but gets shot by the Gestapo.
SOE: 4 GESTAPO: 4
The other SOE agent pulls out his 1907, and shoots the Gestapo man. But the bullets only wound him. The Gestapo man throws a stick grenade into the room and closes the door. The grenade goes off, killing the SOE agent.
SOE: 3 GESTAPO: 4
The Gestapo man limps off to join his comrade.
Meanwhile, in the interrogation room, the SOE leader realizes that he still has his belt gun. He stands up, and shoots the belt gun into the Gestapo guard's chest.
SOE: 3 GESTAPO: 3
The leader grabs the dead body, and frees himself form the chains. He then goes into the next room, and grabs his Webley. He then heads up to the 1st floor.
Meanwhile, the 2 SOE agents that snuck in the back open the back door, and see a Gestapo agent down the hall. Deciding to go stealthy, one SOE agent throws his pistol the other way down the hall. The Gestapo man hears it, and goes toward the sound. The SOE agent opens the door and shoots the Gestapo agent with his crossbow.
SOE: 3 GESTAPO: 2
The 2 then walk in to liberate their commander. After a few minutes, the Gestapo man sees the 2 SOE agents, and sprays the 2, killing the one with the crossbow.
SOE: 2 GESTAPO: 2
The agent with the welgun then opens fire, and injures the Gestapo man further, but the Gestapo man shoots him in the shoulder. The SOE agent then sits up and shoots the Gestapo man in the leg. He then hobbles off. The Gestapo commander hears the gunfire, and head down the stairs, Mauser in hand. He sees his injured comrade down the hall, and sees the SOE agent sneaking up behind him, knife in hand. The Gestapo commander barks a warning to his comrade, and he pulls out his fighting knife just in time to perry the SOE man's strike. The SOE man then begins to fight dirty. He spits into the Gestapo man's face, then punches at his bullet wounds. The Gestapo commander tries to help his friend, firing shots at the SOE man, but never gets a clear shot. Then the Gestapo leader sees the other SOE agent trying to seek up on his comrade, but fires a shot, scaring him off. Finally, the SOE agent scores a hit, stabbing the Gestapo agent in the back of the neck. He then grabs the rim of his helmet, and stabs him in the eye. The Gestapo man screams and writhes in pain, then stops.
SOE: 2 GESTAPO: 1
The SOE agent stands up, but the Gestapo commander shots him in the head.
SOE: 1 GESTAPO: 1
Out of ammo, the Gestapo commander drops his mauser and pulls out his luger, heading off to find the last SOE agent.
The 2 leaders see each other from down the hall, and each fire 6 shots. The SOE leader hits his opponent in the stomach 2 times, but does no serious damage. The Gestapo leader hit the SOE leader 2 times, once in the arm, once in the leg. The SOE commander, on the ground, desperately tries to reload his weapon, but the Gestapo commander shots his hand, causing him to drop the gun. The Gestapo leader walks up to the SOE leader, and points his luger to his head...
Click... Click... Click
The Gestapo commander, horrified at his gun's jam, stares down into the barrel of a Webley & Scott 1907. The SOE commander empties his clip into the Gestapo commander's face, shooting him dead.
WINNER: SOE
SOE: 514
Welgun: 143
Webley & Scott 1907: 113
Crossbow: 99
Belt Gun: 95
Cruciform Blade: 61
Pen Gun: 3
GESTAPO: 486
STG 44: 203
Mauser Kar 98: 166
Stick Grenade: 47
Luger P08: 49
Fighting Knife: 21
NARRATOR: In the battle of WWII operatives, the SOE barley came out on top, with only a 28 kill difference.
DR. DORIAN: In the end, I think that the SOE's training was the key factor. That and that the SOE were solid on many levels, having 3 100+ kill weapons, were as the Gestapo only had 2 above 50.
We see the SOE commander on a stretcher, surrounded by comrades in-front of the building. He then sits up, and salutes the new UK flag flying over the building.
NEXT WEEK ON DEADLIEST WARRIOR: The Fearsome Spanish Tercio, the Green Berets of the Spanish Army, take on the British Dragoons, the best calvary unit the world has ever seen.
