Author's note: Here it is, my first episode featuring two modern special forces. I've honestly tried avoid doing these kind of matches because of the amount of work I'd have to put in. Anyway, here it is! (Weapons testing of several weapons and their descriptions belongs to MetalHarbinger.) Also, the Delta operator and expert for this episode is based on two Deltas that volunteered to protect a downed Black hawk pilot in Somalia in 1993, they knew they were most likely going to die and still protected the pilot against a swarm of angry Somali militiamen and locals. R.I.P. Sergeant First Class Randy Shughart and Master Sergeant Gary Gordon. Both K.I.A. on October 3rd, 1993.

WHO IS DEADLIEST?
To find out, we've assembled a team of world class fighters to test history's 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 decide who is…THE DEADLIEST WARRIOR!
Here in our elite fight club we have gathered doctors, medical scientists and weapons experts to test out the lethal arsenals wielded by each of our combatants to determine who would win a shootout between two of the world's most special operations units.
Delta Force

Joint Task Force 2
Founded: 1993
Height: 6'

Role: Counter-Terrorism, Unconventional Warfare
The team arrives in Fort Benning, Georgia. From now on every modern match whether it be special forces or terrorist organizations will be conducted at the U.S. Army's home of the infantry. The team arrives at the Malone Range Complex where the experts await them.
''Well, our first matchup featuring two modern day special forces groups has finally debuted. The world renowned Delta Force will take on the famous Joint Task Force 2. It's Canada vs. U.S.A.. Let's see which soldier tops the other.'' Richard ''Mack'' Machowicz says with glee in his voice as he turns on the simulator and sets the program ready in the outdoor area that was set up
''I'm siding with the JTF2. They're from Canada...that's my homeland.''Biomedical Engineer Geoff Desmoulin says, he's wearing a Canadian shirt printed in the flag
''U.S.A., U.S.A.!'' Trauma Doctor Armand Dorian said wearing a shirt printed in the American flag
After a steep rise in terror attacks in the mid-1970's, the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta, better known as 'Delta Force,' would be founded by former S.A.S. exchange officer Charles Beckwith. Their purpose being to combat insurgency through means of unconventional warfare.
"Their main tasks include peacekeeping, raids, reconnaissance, counter-terrorism and hostage rescue," Mack started, "They undergo grueling physical and mental testing to ensure only the best of the best are picked out. They recruit soldiers from the green berets, rangers and even S.E.A.L.s and mix them to create the most elite American soldiers.
After an initially rocky start with the failed 'Operation Eagle Claw,' Delta Force would go on to complete various crucial missions, many of which will likely never see the light of day due to the organization's highly secretive nature.
"They have that all-American ruggedness and tenacity that drives them to near superhuman levels to complete their mission and it is what truly makes them the elite of American counter-terrorism." Mack concluded.
Delta Force completed their missions with an arsenal designed for victory.
Melee: Randall Model 1 Combat Knife
Short Range: Beretta M9
Mid-Range: H&K MP5SD
Long Range Assault Rifle: HK416
Long Range Sniper: Barrett M82A1
Explosive: M203 Grenade Launcher
However, how will the American soldiers fair when they face their Canadian counterparts who are their near equals?
Joint Task Force 2 is the elite special operations force of the Canadian Forces. JTF2 serves alongside the Canadian Special Operations Regiment, the Canadian Joint Incident Response Unit and 427 Special Operations Aviation Squadron as part of the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command.
''They are some tough soldiers. They train in the harsh arctic climate of Canada and they have proven their worth ever since their founding in the War in Afghanistan as a valuable asset to the I.S.A.F.''
JTF2 is primarily tasked with counter-terrorism operations but also specializes in direct action, hostage rescue, personnel recovery, and foreign internal defence. Much of the information regarding Joint Task Force 2 is classified, and is not commented on by the Government of Canada. The unit is considered one of the most elite forces of its kind in the world.
''They have that tough never give up attitude. It's something that's trained into them the moment they join the unit. Our Delta boys better watch out because the Canadians are probably going to kick our ass.'' Mack concludes
The Canadian soldiers come armed with an arsenal that allowed them to gun terrorists down with murderous ease.
Melee: Karambit
Short Range: SIG Sauer P226
Mid-Range: FN P90
Long Range Assault Rifle: Colt Canada C8 Carbine
Long Range Sniper: McMillan TAC-50
Explosive: M3 Carl Gustav Recoilless Rifle
When both soldiers fought their opponents in hand-to-hand combat, they took very unique and deadly fighting knives to get the job done. Up first will be the Canadians with a trusted blade.
''The karambit is a small Southeast Asian curved knife resembling a claw. Known as kerambit in its native Indonesian and Malay, it is called karambit in the Philippines and in most Western countries. Although they were great slashers and they were perfect for delivering a stealthy kill from behind with just a stab through the back of the skull. The ones we use are about 3 inches long and were single edged and made of stainless steel and weighed 5 ounces.'' Joint Task Force 2 operator Sergeant Liam Reynolds said displaying his karambit to the panelists.
''Alright, we've set up an unaware Taliban insurgent we'll have you kill him first with an assassination from the back and then add more gore with the slashes, got it?
''Yeah I do fellow Canadian.'' Liam replies
Liam walks behind the target and as Geoff gives him the signal to go, he grabs the torso from behind and placing a hand on it's mouth, he shoves the karambit deep into the skull with a squishy crunch. He then spins the torso around and begins slashing violently away at the throat of the torso with blood flying in all sorts of directions before he stops with the knife still in the throat.
''Jesus man, you went all out on this guy.'' Mack said with his hands held up as if he were caught
''That's what happened to a real Taliban insurgent when we were ordered to raid a village full of them.'' Liam replies
''Alright, in short the first stab through the back of his skull would've hit his brain and probably even severed through the brain stem killing this guy instantly. The next slash, well series of slashes added to the carnage where you severed all major arteries and veins in his neck which if he was alive, would kill him very quickly.'' Dorian said poking the torso
''Impressive display of skill and gore. We can definitely match you guys with our knives kill for kill.'' Delta Force operator Staff Sergeant Gary Shughart said respectfully towards his Canadian ally
The American soldiers respond with a deadly blade of their own.
Sergeant Shughart walks over to the panelists with his knife in hand.
"The Randall Model 1 is an all-purpose fighting knife that was made famous by Allied combat troops in World War II. It has an 8 inch stainless steel blade and weighs 10 ounces. Perfect for stabbing someone's eyes out or turning their insides to mush." Shughart explained.
"Well we've set up a makeshift Fedayeen camp where you are going to take out the terrorist leader, but first you must go through two insurgents represented by bovine torsos. Once you've accomplished those take downs the leader himself is going to wake up." Geoff explained, the foam torso representing the 'leader' popping up in emphasis, "and you're going to take him down. From there we will test your penetration damage and overall effectiveness, in addition to your reactive accuracy for the blade's final blow. When you're ready get into position."
Sergeant Shughart nodded and readied his blade.
"On 3...2...1, cut 'em up!"
Sergeant Shughart charged towards the encampment and ran around the sandbag wall, shooting his blade out into a higher portion of the first bovine torso before charging past it towards the second, wrapping his arm around it and slashing into it like he were slitting an enemy's throat. It was then the 'leader' popped up, only to be knocked from its support perch by a hard kick to the face from the weapon expert's boot.
He returned his attention to the second bovine torso and slashed it repeatedly before turning back to the first, grabbing it and stabbing it until it fell from its wooden support beam. With both 'bodyguards' dispatched, he focused again on the fallen foam torso and began stabbing repeatedly into its face and neck before lifting it up and tossing it hard to the ground with a mighty ''America, FUCK YEAH.''
''Shit, what the heck did you do to these guys Sergeant?'' Dorian said with a laugh as he approaches the bovine slabs
"Unquestionably these are all instant kills. Your placement was dead on for a bunch of stabs and slashes that would have killed alone upon first strike. This is critically important as it is physically possible to be stabbed up to 20 times and live."
''Lastly, you struck at a speed of 75 miles per hour, damn fast kills.'' Geoff commented
Both blades dispatched their targets in gory spectacles, but where do our panelists stand?
''I really like both of these knives, they can stab and slash effectively and kill instantly if the placement is just right. I'm calling it even for this one.'' Geoff said scratching his head
''I agree, both are different in terms of design but performed literally the same. I call even as well here.'' Dorian seconded
''It comes down to the soldier's individual skill with his blade. Even in my book as well.'' Mack finished
In melee weapons, both soldiers are even.
Coming up, both special operations groups will unveil their favorite sidearms.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Now the time has come for both sides to unveil their favorite sidearms. Since we've already tested the Beretta M9 in previous episodes, we will test out the preferred sidearm of Joint Task Force 2.
''Liam pulled out his weapon, "I bring the Sig Sauer P226. It's a German-made 9mm pistol that holds 15 rounds and can be customized to hold up to 20. It weighs 34 ounces and fires by standard the 9x19 parabellum cartridge.''
"Okay, we've set up a shooting range to test your speed and accuracy. Behind each door is a target, five enemies and one civilian. Liam, since your pistol hasn't been tested yet on the show you will be doing this only." Geoff explained.
Liam kicked the first door open, firing two shots into the first enemy target before running past it and kicking the second door open, met by another enemy target and firing two more shots into it. He then kicked the third door open, only to be met by the target of a civilian woman. Shoving her out of the way he made his way to the fourth door and repeated the process, forcing the door open and firing three shots into the next enemy target before he was forced to reload. Again bringing his foot up, he raised his gun and fired three shots into the next enemy target before brushing past to the last door and barreling through, raising his gun and firing three shots into the last target before Geoff called out "Time!"
Dr. Dorian waited for the smoke to clear and then made his way over to assess the targets. "This shot is striking this man just below his orbital bone for an instant kill."
He then made his way over to the second enemy target, "Your two shots here I'm liking the grouping, striking the guy once in the chin and the second time in the throat, both would be instant kills."
The doctor made his way through to the next door and examined the civilian target, "Your civilian is unharmed, a good job there," he said before passing through the next door and examining the third enemy target, "With this guy you got three shots all connecting, in a close knit grouping in the man's chest, one of which pierces the heart directly for an instant kill."
He then went to examine the last two targets. "With your fourth target you again got three shots in, one of which nails your enemy in the elbow and will cripple his arm, while your last two strike him in the lung, two shots that will cause him to bleed out faster than normal for a near instant kill. Your last target you again got three more shots in with another close chest pattern that will pierce his heart and aorta."
"Altogether we have five dead terrorists and the civilian is safe. Nice work.'' Geoff said
''Nothing the P226 cannot do.'' Liam said carressing his weapon
Since we've already tested the Beretta M9 before, we will review the specifications of it and compare the two pistols before we decide an edge, boys?
''Okay, both are world famous pistols that are heavily used by both law enforcement and militaries all around the world. The beretta and sig both fire the 9mm cartridge...I'm probably going to have to call this one even.'' Geoff said
''I can see why, they both have the same range, same muzzle velocity, both are ranked as two of the best pistols in the world and are popular with the military as well. I'm going even on this too Geoff.'' Dorian seconded
''I agree with you both, having used these two pistols, they are near identical in specs and stats. Both fire by default 15 rounds whereas the P226 can be customized to fit 20. Both can be modded and outfitted with suppressors, flashlights and other gizmos. Even across the board here.'' Mack says
In short range weapons, both soldiers are even.
Coming up, two world renowned submachine guns will shoot it out and later, it's a battle between two of the west's most elite soldiers.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Both soldiers used deadly submachine guns to riddle their targets with lead, up first will be the Americans with their world famous weapon. For this the panelists and experts head out to the Army Ranger's urban operations range.
"I bring the MP5SD, one of many variations of the world-renowned German-manufactured sub-machine gun. It is a suppressed variant of the Heckler & Koch MP5 with an integrated silencer. It weighs a little over 6 pounds, 700 rounds a minute rate of fire and can have an effective range of up to 200 meters. It fires 9×19 parabellum rounds and typically uses a 30 round detachable box magazine." Sergeant Shughart said holding his weapon proudly
''Alright, we've set up an Iraqi city, reminiscent of Ramadi. Five enemy insurgents, yes they are dressed with hijabs and are holding AK-47s and the last one has an RPG-7, when you eliminate the first four, the last will lean out of one of the alleyways aiming his rpg at you and try to kill him before he fires, got it?" Geoff explains.
''It's no problem, I'm used to killing insurgents.'' Sergeant Shughart said with squinted eyes
Sergant Shughart gets into position and loads a magazine into his weapon before Geoff gives him the thumbs up to begin. He cautiously walks down the sidewalk of the makeshift Iraqi city before the first target pops up from behind a car and he wastes no time in putting the insurgent down with a 4 round burst to the chest. He continues down the sidewalk before coming to the first alleyway and as soon as he peeks his head to look into the alleyway, the second insurgent is there and before the insurgent can turn around, he fires 5 rounds into it's back and soon comes to a door of the building in the fake city, he kicks it down and is greeted by two insurgents who pop up from a doorway and behind a table and he dispatches both of them with quick precision. He exits out the opposite doorway and when he is greeted by the final target which leans out from an adjacent alleyway, he aims his MP5 and empties his remaining ammo into it, the target slumping over backwards against the wall behind it. ''Done!"
''Nice work Sergeant, 1 minute and 45 seconds, not bad not bad.'' Mack said giving Shughart a high five
''My weapon has more rounds in the magazine and can pierce armor.'' Sergeant Reynolds said
"Here I have the FN P90. Manufactured in Belgium, it uses armor-piercing FN 5.7×28mm cartridges, has a 900 RPM rate of fire, has an effective firing range of up to 200 meters and a maximum firing range of up to 1,800 meters. It also uses a 50 round detachable box magazine." Sergeant Reynolds said
''Well alright. We have a Taliban ''cave'' here represented by these massive air dome bubbles. You'll have the same targets as Sergeant Shughart and we'll see how well you perform. Ready?'' Geoff explained
''Yeah, always ready to kill Taliban.'' Sergeant Reynolds replied with a dark whisper
Reynolds walks up to the entrance of the ''cave'', he storms in and the first target pops up from behind some crates with an audio player yelling ''Allahu Akbar!'' before its silenced with a 5 round burst. He continues down the ''cave'' and soon the next two fake Taliban fighters appear and are cut down with a 10 rounds, 5 in each of them. With three out of five targets down, he continues and makes his way to the end of the cave which is a large room with crates everywhere and the last two Taliban fighters pop up with AK-47s in hand. He finishes them off with a 5 rounds in the chest of one while he fires 3 shots into the head of the last Taliban fighter. ''Done!''
''Good work, you did it in 1 minute and 21 seconds.'' Geoff said
''So for this first target, you sent 5 rounds into his body, they all hit dead center mass of him and these rounds completely obliterated his organs so he;s down fairly instantly. The second and third Taliban you put 5 rounds in each of them as well and this guy over here has all 5 rounds impact his chest and he's just like the first guy and for the third, 3 rounds found their way into his chest whereas the other 2 hit him square in the face, he's instantly dead. Lastly for the last two Taliban fighters over there in that large room they are exactly like their friends over here, 5 rounds in the chest for this guy putting him down for good and the last guy's head isn't even recognizable. So he's gone instantly.''
''You completed the test slightly faster than Sergeant Shughart. But in the end I'll say you both performed extremely well and you two paired together would be an insurgent's nightmare.'' Mack commented
Both soldiers have displayed their submachine gun's deadly accuracy and lethality, which one do our experts believe takes the edge?
''Both these weapons systems are very reliable and very accurate. However I'm giving the edge to the FN P90 because it has 20 more rounds in it's magazine and has armor piercing rounds.'' Geoff starts off
''Agreed, the FN P90 can overpower the MP5SD with it's much faster rate of fire. Edge FN P90.'' Dorian seconded
''Having used the MP5 during my time as a S.E.A.L. I love that weapon system, I'd trust my life with it but since the FN P90 has more rounds and armor piercing ones at that, I'll take it.'' Mack said
In mid-range weapons the edge goes to Joint Task Force 2 for their FN P90.
Up next our soldiers bring out their favorite long range weapons and later our battle between the U.S.A. and Canada finally begins!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Now our soldiers bring their favorite assault rifles and snipers to the tables. Our team heads out to the Malone 14 M4 Range to tests out the weapons.
''So what do you bring for us today Sergeant Reynolds?'' Mack asked
Sergeant Reynolds presented his rifle.
"I bring the Colt Canada C8 Carbine. Gas operated with a rotating bolt, fires 5.56×45mm NATO rounds, a rate of fire between 750 to 950 rounds a minute with a muzzle velocity of 900 milliseconds. It holds 30 rounds and has a 14.5 inch barrel."
''Very nice, looks like a great weapon system, and you Sergeant Shughart?'' Mack said turning to Shughart
''For me I have the HK416, it's based on the AR-15 platform and it was originally conceived as an improvement to the Colt M4 carbine, fires 5.56×45mm NATO rounds, has a rate of fire ranging from 700 to 900 rounds a minute and uses a 30 round STANAG magazine." Sergeant Shughart said
''These weapon systems look very deadly and very accurate. What about your sniper rifles warriors?'' Mack asked
''I have the the Barrett M82A1 anti-materiel rifle. It uses a .50 BMG caliber round, has an effective range of 1,800 meters with a maximum of 6,812 and uses a 10 round clip. I've seen firsthand what this does to a body. Pretty cool thing to see!'' Sergeant Shughart said with a happy tone
''And your sniper Reynolds?'' Mack asked
''On my side, I have the McMillan TAC-50, it's a military and law enforcement weapon and designated as the C15. It fires the the .50 BMG like the Barrett, has a muzzle velocity of 850 meters per second. It used a 5 round detachable box magazine and it's effective range is 1,800 meters.'' Reynolds said holding his weapon
''So we have tests for each of your weapons. For the assault rifle you'll raid a Fedayeen and Taliban held encampment respectively There are four terrorists to kill. Sergeant Shughart you can go first.'' Geoff explained
Shughart gets into position besides a barrel and as Geoff gives the thumbs up to begin, he moves out of cover and encounters his first target and fires 4 rounds into his upper torso knocking it down. He proceeds to peek into the first tent and sees an insurgent and does not hesitate to fire a salvo of lead into it's face. He turns to his right and sees the last two terrorists pop up, one on a tower and one grounded. He aims for the target in the tower and fires a 3 round burst which blows the head clean off and with that he aims at the last target and empties his magazine into the chest.
''Nice work, 31 seconds.'' Geoff called out
Doctor Dorian makes his way into the Fedayeen camp and inspects the first target.
''The first insurgent has 4 rounds in his torso and I see some pretty good and tight grouping here. These shots combined will kill him quickly. For the second target here in this tent you basically riddled his face full of lead. I don't need to explain if he's dead because his face is unrecognizable. Your last two targets over there I see multiple rounds in the chest of the guy on the ground and the guy in the tower has his head blown off completely. Instant kills and 4 kills total.''
''Ready to go and kill your enemies Reynolds?'' Geoff asked
''Let's go, I love killing Taliban.'' Reynolds replied
Sergeant Reynolds gets into position behind a crate in his mock Taliban camp. Geoff gives him the thumgs up and he pops out from behind his sandbad wall and spots the first target firing 6 rounds into it's chest. He breaches the first tent and finds two Taliban fighters in it and switches to 3 round burst and fires into each target spilling blood everywhere. He backs away from the tent and the last target pops up from behind a rock with a fake RPG and Reynolds reacts quickly and empties the rest of his magazine into the Taliban's body.
''Awesome work Reynolds, you finished in 30 seconds.'' Geoff said
Doctor Dorian walks up to Reynolds and points toward the encampment.
''Your weapon fires the same cartridge as Shughart's so I'm seeing similar damage to all targets like in Shughart's test and you killed all four instantly. Nice job.''
''Alright, with the assault rifle test completed, let's see how your snipers fair. You guys are extensively trained in hostage rescues and have done them before yes?'' Geoff asked
''Correct.'' Both soldiers replied
''Well we have a hostage for you to rescue, we have a building at the next range with some more terrorists to kill.''
The team now walk over to the Malone 16 range where both soldiers will engage targets holding a hostage. The final target hidden behind a concrete wall to gauge the snipers penetration power. Sergeant Reynolds will be up first with his McMillan TAC-50.
''Alright Reynolds, lock and load!" Geoff called out
Reynolds loads his weapon and takes aim at his first target. The target is sitting behind a car obstructing his point of aim. He aims carefully at the head which is slightly exposed and acquiring his target, he fires and the target's head explodes completely. He searches for his second target and spots it behind some foliage, acquiring that target, he squeezes the trigger and sends a round flying through it's chest sending the target's upper torso flying away.
''Holy crap, that .50 BMG just tore that guy in half!'' Mack says observing the shooting with binoculars
Reynolds aims at his final target which is behind a concrete wall and acquires the hostage which is exposed, seeing a gun barrel pointed at the hostage from behind the wall, he aims for the wall where the target is and after a few breaths, fires his weapon and the round impacts the wall and blood splatters from behind the wall.
''Nice! He hit the target!'' Dorian said with excitement
The panelists walk over to inspect the damage.
''Holy cow, the .50 BMG is such a lethal cartridge. The first target behind this car has his head completely explode, he literally does not know what happens and his whole world went dark. As for your second target over here concealed within the foliage, you shot him in the chest and with the power of the .50, it had enough force to rip his upper torso away from the rest of his body and cause this mess. Lastly the hostage taker thought he was safe, and so you showed him he wasn't and you managed to hit the guy in his shoulder completely obliterating him as a result hence all the blood splatter we saw. Pink mist and mush.'' Dorian said kicking the dismembered target
''And the hostage is unscathed! He gets to live his life forever now thanks to your shooting Reynolds.'' Geoff commented
''Ah it was nothing, I'm used to shooting in risky high stress situations like this.'' Reynolds replied
''I can definitely match Reynolds's test, but I can shoot quicker since I don't have a bolt action rifle.'' Shughart said casually
The team sets up new targets for Shughart to destroy. Two which will be holding the hostage at gunpoint behind the concrete wall and they will be parallel to each other.
Sergeant Shughart lays his weapon on the ground and loads it, seeing the thumbs up from Geoff he looks into the scope he acquires his first target firing without thought his round hits the top of the car but the target gets hit from a ricochet and it's body is cut in half in a gory spectacle. Acquiring his last two targets behind the concrete wall, he takes a few breaths and aims at the thickest part of the wall. He squeezes the trigger and when the round impacts the wall a large splatter of blood spills all over the hostage as an arm is seen flying away from the area of impact.
''Wow, imagine the gore we're about the see.'' Mack commented
''Since you guys have the same exact cartridges for your snipers, I don't really need to explain what happened to all 3 hostage takers, but let's look at those behind the wall. Look at this, they are unrecognizable, I see some guts and just wow. No comment. These guys are no more.'' Dorian said with grossed out tone
''Once again, our hostage is rescued and continues to live, he's just covered in blood and bits of guts from his tormentors.'' Geoff commented
Both Delta Force and Joint Task Force 2 have displayed to us the accuracy of their assault rifles and the power of their sniper rifles. Which one takes the edge?
''I don't have a lot to say about the assault rifles. They are practically the same in design and have near identical stats and parts. Even.'' Goeff started
''I agree, while the HK416 has a more reliable gas system, they are basically the same weapon as a whole. Even in my book.'' Dorian seconded
''Even as well. Same weapon, range, cartridge.'' Mack finished
In long range assault rifles, both spec ops soldiers are dead even.
''As for snipers they both fire the same round causing equal amounts of destruction. However the McMillan TAC-50 has only 5 rounds compared to the Barrett which has a 10-round magazine and it can shoot further out. I'm giving my edge to the Barrett M82A1.'' Geoff started off
''I disagree and give it to the Canadians for this one. Simply that their sniper weighs slightly less than the Barrett which means they won't be as fatigued. Edge McMillan TAC-50.''
The tiebreaker falls upon Mack's shoulders again.
''You both make a lot of sense here. Both fire the same exact cartridge, but the thing that really stood out to me was the Barrett's larger magazine capacity which means Delta Force won't be reloading as often and the fact that it can shoot so much further out. Edge Barrett M82A1.''
For long range sniper rifles the edge goes to Delta Force for their Barrett M82A1.
Coming up, we conclude the weapons testing with two very deadly explosives.
XXXXXXXXXX
Finally, we now see what explosive weapons both soldiers used to blow terrorists up. Up first will be the American soldiers with their favorite grenade launcher.
The team now heads out to the Fort Benning grenade launcher and AT-4 range to test out the lethality of the launchers.
"I bring the M203 Grenade Launcher, It's a single-shot 40mm under-slung grenade launcher that uses the same rounds as the older standalone M79 break-action launcher. It was originally intended for use with the M16 and later the M4, but can be mounted to others as well. It has a muzzle velocity of 250 feet per second and an effective range of 160 yards with a max of 437." Sergeant Shughart said
''Very very good. Reynolds?'' Mack asked
''For me, I present the M3 Carl Gustav Launcher, It is an 84 mm man-portable reusable anti-tank recoilless rifle produced by Saab Bofors Dynamics in Sweden. Although most rounds fired by the Carl Gustaf work on the classic recoilless principle, modern rounds sometimes add a post-firing booster that technically make it a rocket launcher. It's effective range is 164 yards and a muzzle velocity of 255 meters per second.''
''Okay, so both these weapons can kill groups of enemies with one shot, so we've set up four insurgents guarding a vehicle with their ''leader'' in it. Let's see what kind of destruction those two weapons cause.'' Geoff explains
Shughart goes first and loads a grenade into his M203, he takes aim at the the vehicle going for the wind shield and fires his launcher. The grenade impacts the vehicle and it explodes with enough power to vaporize two of the targets.
''Now that's what I call an explosion.'' Geoff commented
Now it's Reynold's turn, he loads a rocket into his launcher and takes aim at his vehicle. He fires his launcher and the vehicle explodes claiming 3 of the targets in the ensuing explosion.
''That was a bigger explosion than what we saw with the M203! Nice.'' Dorian said
The panelists walk over to inspect the damage.
''You know, I don't really need to comment on these two disasters. The guy in the vehicles just don't exist anymore. You killed 2 additional guys Shughart and Reynolds you killed 3 additional targets. Both of you did an impressive job blowing these suckers away.'' Dorian said poking at the charred corpses
Both special forces soldiers have showcased their explosive weapons, which one takes the edge?
''I'm giving my edge to the M3 Carl Gustav, it's explosion appeared to be much larger than that of the M203 and it killed one more target.'' Geoff started off
''I agree, the M203 does fire a large variety of grenades but it's outclassed by a rocket launcher. Edge M3 Carl Gustav.'' Dorian seconded
''That and the M3 has slightly more range meaning the Canadians could hit the Deltas from farther away and a slightly higher muzzle velocity. Edge M3 Carl Gustav.'' Mack concludes
In explosive weapons, the edge goes to Joint Task Force 2 for their M3 Carl Gustav Recoilless Rifle.
Coming up, Mack will gauge the x-factors and then our first ever special forces battle between two of the most elite soldiers begins.
XXXXXX
''Let's now gauge the x-factors.'' Mack said taking a seat at the computer
''For training I would call it dead even because these are the world's most trained soldiers. These guys can't volunteer for service in their respective units, the unit finds them. I rated both even with a 94 each.''
''For dedication, I gave it to the Delta Force because they are very persistent in completion of their missions. The best example is Sergeant First Class Randy Shughart and Master Sergeant Gary Gordon who volunteered to protect a down pilot and did not stop protecting him until they were overrunned and killed. That shows true dedication right there. The Delta Force scored a 95 to the JTF2's 93."
''Next is operational experience. Both forces have operated worldwide since their founding. Both fought in Afghanistan and are possibly carrying out small raids against the Islamic State of Iraq as we speak. They both scored an 87 each.''
''Physicality is another great x-factor to plug in and I gave a 90 to both soldiers since their harsh and intense training ensures they don't fatigue easily.''
''Tactics also plays a crucial role and the Delta Force takes it because they were around longer and have had more time to perfect their tactics and skills whereas the JTF2 is still relatively young. Delta Force has a 93 to the JTF2's 91.''
''Last but not least I plugged in organization. Delta took it simply because they have such strict physical requirements, psychological tests and have an incredibly high failure rate where 95% of selected soldiers fail to make sure the only remaining 5% that do make it join, only the best of the best of the best earn the right to be in Delta Force. Delta has a 93 to the JTF2's 90.''
Our scientists and weapons experts are done testing the results and the time has come to decide who will be the victor. To ensure the battle won't be decided by a single lucky blow, the battle will be simulated one thousand times in a duel to the death.

We are taken to the border between the United States and Canada in a war torn and bombed out Detroit and Windsor, both countries have been aggressively hostile towards one another and have decided to utilize military action in an ever growing conflict. The scene shifts to the Ambassador's Bridge where a Delta Force fire team is patrolling and guarding the American side of the bridge to prevent Canadian forces from entering.
The team leader and his second in command discussing strategies for any possible infiltration in a Humvee while two are seen smoking cigarettes near a car and the fifth is seen laying by the guard rails and providing overwatch with his Barrett M82A1 overlooking the river.
Delta Force: 5
Unbeknownst to the Americans a zodiac carrying a JTF2 fire team is seen infiltrating their side of the border from their blind spot at 3 o'clock low and are prepared to disembark on shore. The Canadian government dispatching the fire team to conduct a recon and establish a foothold on the U.S. side of the border for an invasion.
Joint Task Force 2: 5
They dock their boat ashore and gather their weapons and proceed while the sniper remains near the zodiac taking his McMillan TAC-50 and going prone beside the boat. He spots the Delta Force fire team on the bridge and goes to radio it in to his team leader.
''Sergeant, I have enemy in sight on the Ambassador Bridge.'' The sniper radios to his team leader
''Cleared to engage.'' The leader replies
Taking note of the message he just received, the JTF2 leader motions his other men to board an abandoned hummer and make their way to the bridge as the sniper looks into his scope and aims at one of the Delta operators smoking, taking a breath, he slowly squeezes the trigger and fire a round straight at the unsuspecting American hitting him square in the chest blowing out his entire chest cavity and knocking him back against the car killing him before he heard the shot.
Delta Force: 4 - Joint Task Force 2: 5
''Sniper!' The other Delta operator yelled as he runs for cover behind a destroyed truck and alerting his team leader prompting him and his Corporal to exit the Humvee and hide behind it to avoid being spotted by the Canadian sniper. Hearing the echoing of the Canadian's shot, the Delta sniper picks his Barrett M82A1 up and runs towards the sound of the echo and begins scanning the river's shoreline.
The other JTF2 operators are seen driving towards the Delta operators and crash through the security checkpoint, the hummer coming to a screeching halt and the JTF2 operators exit the vehicle taking positions and begin firing their weapons at the Americans prompting the Deltas to get up and fire back.
The Delta sergeant then takes his M203 and loads a grenade into before aiming and firing and hits a car a JTF2 operator was using as cover and the ensuing explosion kills him.
Delta Force: 4 - Joint Task Force 2: 4
Meanwhile the Delta sniper continues scanning for the JTF2 sniper and soon spots a glint of his scope. The Canadian soldier also spotting the American and goes to adjust his aim to compensate for a smaller target being only able to see the American's head but the Delta sniper fires first and soon the round finds it's way into the Canadian's shoulder and exiting out his lower back with enough force to knock him back a few feet into the river with a splash.
Satisfied with his work he picks up his sniper to rejoin his comrades.
Delta Force: 4 - Joint Task Force 2: 3
Spotting the sniper, a JTF2 operator loads a rocket into his M3 Carl Gustav and takes aim at the Delta sniper and fires his weapon. The rocket zooming over the heads of the other Delta operators before hitting the Delta sniper in his stomach catching him in it's flight path and hits a gas truck detonating and vaporizing the American in a large explosion.
Delta Force: 3 - Joint Task Force 2: 3
Seeing that staying on the defensive will get them nowhere, the Delta sergeant orders his last two men to get into the Humvee and plan to force their way past the Canadians into Detroit to rethink their strategy. Starting the vehicle the Delta second in command gets into position of the gunner's turret and takes his HK416 and fires on the Canadians as they drive closer forcing them to take cover as they drive past them.
The Humvee zooming past the Canadians and driving off into the city. The JTF2 leader orders his men to get into the hummer and drive off to chase their enemies. Driving towards a large outdoor shopping center the remaining Delta operators exit and hear a vehicle approaching and see the hummer making it's way towards them.
Reacting quickly one of the Delta operators shoots his MP5SD and manages to hit the JTF2 soldier behind the wheel with a couple rounds to the face. Slumping dead on the wheel the hummer careens and crashes into some nearby concession stands.
Delta Force: 3 - Joint Task Force 2: 2
''Sergeant I'll take care of this, go on into the rendezvous point.'' The Delta operator says before the sergeant and his corporal make their way into the shopping center. Approaching the crashed hummer the Delta opens the driver's door to find it empty before suddenly the JTF2 leader grabs him from behind and throws him against a display window. The Delta scrambles for his Beretta M9 but the Canadian soldier knocks it right out of his hands and draws his karambit.
The Delta operator goes in for a kick but the Canadian catches it and rushes forward.
He quickly stabs the American several times through his chest before bringing it up to his throat and stabbing into before dragging it across the throat and sever all his major arteries. The Delta goes wide eyed as he gasps and falls to the floor bleeding out. The JTF2 leader picking up his P90 and finishes him off with one round to the eye.
Delta Force: 2 - Joint Task Force 2: 2
The other Canadian is seen prowling the shopping center for any sign of his American enemies. He makes his way towards a group of mannequins swearing he's seen movement and goes to check before several gunshots ring out and the Canadian stumbles back holding his stomach as he slumps against a pole. Looking up he sees the Delta Force sergeant walking up to him with a Beretta in his hand.
Weakly aiming his C8 Carbine but it does him no good as the weapon is forcibly taken away by the Delta and his suffering ends as the Delta drives his Randall Model 1 knife into his skull.
Delta Force : 2 - Joint Task Force 2: 1
The JTF2 Sergeant is seen making his way through some concession stands when out of the blue the Delta corporal fires on him from a balcony forcing him to take cover. Putting his P90 down he unslings his C8 Carbine and fires forcing his enemy to cover. The JTF2 quickly runs towards a doorway just as the Delta aims out of cover only to see the concession stands empty.
He turns around to head down the stairs only to meet literally face to face with his Canadian adversary and they both raise their rifles at the same time and fire.
A second later the Canadian realizes he has not been hit and looks to see the Delta corporal dead, a single bullet hole in his head.
Delta Force: 1 - Joint Task Force 2: 1
The Delta sergeant finishes contacting a Q.R.F. and attempts to contact his last man, finding only static on the other end he shakes his head before making his way back to the Humvee to be picked up.
As he approaches the Humvee he is shot in his shoulder by the JTF2 leader and falls to the floor. His training having given him some pain tolerance the Delta gets up and fires his Beretta at the Canadian which hits the C8 Carbine out of his hand.
Jumping back in surprise, The Canadian soldier looks at the American and disarms himself of his firearms.
''Let's settle this like real warriors.'' The Canadian says to his American counterpart as he draws his karambit.
The Delta sergeant tosses his pistol aside and takes out his knife. Both leaders charge each other and the Delta does a spinning kick which is easily dodged by the JTF2 and he quickly stabs the Delta several times in his side and forcibly shoves him against the Humvee. With his enemy pinned the Canadian brings his karambit to drive it through the American's skull.
Summoning the energy to strike back the Delta sergeant elbows his adversary in the stomach making him grimace and he follows up with a kick to the chest and another roundhouse kick striking the JTF2 leader in the jaw and knocking him to the ground. The JTF2 leader, seeing his P226 he quickly scoops it up and fires it at the American.
The round hits the Delta sergeant in his hip making him fall to the ground in pain. Seeing his rival on the ground the Canadian soldier regains his posture and runs over to finish his injured foe. Standing tall over the American the JTF2 leader squeezes the trigger when suddenly just as the gun goes off he is swept from his feet and lands on his back.
The Canadian is suddenly picked up by the Delta sergeant and is pushed against the hood of the Humvee and responds with a backwards elbow strike only to be blocked by the American and is kicked against the hood before the Delta grabs him by his uniform's collar and pins his arms behind his back and repeatedly slams him face first into the hood of the Humvee. The Canadian soldier unable to free himself from his ordeal the Delta continues his assault and finishes by slamming his adversary's face against the hood with enough force to break his nose and knees him square in the face then shoving the daze Canadian soldier to the ground.
Seeing his enemy moaning in pain, the Delta sergeant walks over to his pistol and picks it up, turning it off safe he aims it and says ''See you in hell.'' He squeezes the trigger and fires his entire magazine into the Canadian soldier ending his life.
Delta Force: 1 - Joint Task Force 2: 0
His gun clicking empty, the American soldier looks at the dead Canadian soldier and raises his M9 into the air yelling ''I am an American Soldier Hoo-ah!''

In a very close battle between two of the world's premiere special operations forces, Delta Force just barely emerged victorious in a hard fought battle with 50.6% of the wins compared to Joint Task Force 2's 49.4% and both being near even in the x-factors. Their slightly more diverse training and their Barrett M82A1's larger magazine capacity and range contributing to their win.
''Such a close battle. Both soldiers were evenly matched in nearly all categories but the thing that tipped the scale in Delta Force's favor was their Barrett M82A1 had more rounds in it and it's superior range allowed them to hit the JTF2 from much farther whereas the Canadian's had the better launcher. It's a great battle and could've gone either way.'' Geoff explained
''Another razor thin battle between two similar forces. The Delta Force's slightly more diverse training really helped them edge out the JTF2. They didn't stop until the mission was completed.'' Dorian seconded
''Wrap this one up to the best trained soldiers in the United States Army.'' Mack concluded
(The Delta Force sergeant is seen sitting against the front of the Humvee, he is resting after all the energy he put to win that grueling battle. Nearby a combined U.S. Army and Marine convoy arrive to pick him up. Seeing his deceased men being taken away in an armored truck, he rests at ease knowing they will be properly taken care of. Army medics tend to his wounds as the camera pans up to the sky.)
Q.R.F.(Quick Reaction Force): Is a military unit, generally platoon-sized in the United States Military combat arms, capable of rapid response to developing situations. They are to have equipment ready to respond to any type of emergency.
