It had come down to this... Two legendary special operations units that have been compared to one another for years. Now I, PFC Rice Man have finally decided to give you all the answer this long debated battle...Who is Deadliest?
A/N: Richard 'Mack' Machowicz, the awesomely awesome cool military historian and former Navy S.E.A.L. from season 3 was originally going to be the expert for the S.E.A.L.s, so this episode is dedicated to him. Rest in Piece frogman. HOO-YAH! I've already dedicated an episode to him but since our Mack served in the S.E.A.L.s, this is a special episode all for him. So once again...

S.A.S.: Great Britain's top notch special forces unit who fight Her Majesty's toughest battles.
(S.A.S. operatives fast rope into the mountains of Afghanistan before engaging Taliban fighters who were lying in wait. The extremists fall to their superior shooting.)
vs.
Navy S.E.A.L.: The U.S. Navy's amphibious warriors trained to neutralize any enemy, anytime, anywhere.
(A S.E.A.L. fire team storms into a Taliban held village in Afghanistan cutting through them in a hail of gunfire while one S.E.A.L. stabs an insurgent to death.)
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 long debated battle between two of modern warfare's most famous and legendary special operations units.
S.A.S.

Barry, Geoff and Dorian drive into Fort Benning. They drive past the security gate before making their way to the Malone Range Complex where our experts await them. As usual for special forces match-ups we will conduct the testing at the U.S. Army's Home of the Infantry.
They arrive at the Malone 14 Rifle Qualification Range and set up the simulator. A portrait of Mack on the desk on the side of the table where the S.E.A.L. weapons are.
''Gentleman, this is a special episode for us and the readers/viewers. Mack was so excited to have been be able to represent the S.E.A.L.s in this battle, so guys, let's make this episode good and do this right for Mack.'' former Green Beret Barry Jacobsen said, ''This is a battle that has been debated for many years. Two super elite and famed special operation units finally settle the score. The S.A.S. are basically the 'Daddy' to all special forces unit. The S.E.A.L.s however have managed to carve their own fame and legacy. These warriors are best described as superhuman which would be the perfect word to describe them. Not to mention they both actually train together and are cooperating against the Islamic State of Iraq as we speak.' Now, as with 'Richard the Lionheart vs. Timur the Lame.' Due to the S.E.A.L.s being in this episode, let us have another moment of silence for our fallen brother in arms.''
They all lower their heads in respect.
''...''
''God speed Mack.'' They all said in unison.
''Now gentleman, who will have your edge in this episode?'' Barry asked.
''These are two well trained and legendary special operations unit. I'm giving my edge to the S.A.S. because they are the inspiration behind all special forces units in the world and their specialization in tactics can help them find their way around what the S.E.A.L.s are bringing in. I'll also add that they have the toughest, most challenging selection and training course in the entire world and if you pass S.A.S. selection and training, you're a great soldier.'' Biomedical Engineer Geoff Desmoulin said.
''I'm giving it to the Navy S.E.A.L., like Delta, they're from my hometown and not to mention I think they're training is much tougher.'' Trauma Doctor Armand Dorian said.
Founded in 1941 during the chaos and fighting of WWII-ravaged Egypt, David Stirling formed the Special Air Service into a raid group of highly-trained and multi-skilled soldiers into mobile units to assault German airfields and forwarding operations.
''These guys destroyed more Luftwaffe aircraft than the Royal Air Force did the entire war. They were able to get in, destroy their target and vanish making them feared among the German forces.''
Since World War II, the Special Air Service has continued to engage in global conflicts ranging from the Troubles and the most recent War in Afghanistan. Recruits are subjected to an intensive selection program where they undergo extreme conditioning and training in special weapons handling, demolitions and S.E.R.E. which stands for Survive, Evade, Resist and Extract.
"They are the model for the modern special forces group, many other famed counter-terrorism units from all over the world such as Delta Force, Spetsnaz, Sayeret Matkal and the Green Berets are frequently compared to them. The S.E.A.L.s are in for the most difficult test they've ever endured.'' Barry explained.
The British soldiers come armed with a state of the art weaponry to protect Her Majesty.
Melee: CBM Combat Switchblade
Short Range: Sig Sauer P226
Mid-Range: FN P90
Long Range Assault: Colt Canada C8 Carbine
Long Range Sniper: L96A1
Explosive: M18A1 Claymore
But will the British soldiers triumph against foes who are just as tough and as legendary as them?
The United States Navy's SEa, Air and Land Teams, commonly known as the Navy S.E.A.L.s, are the U.S. Navy's primary special operations force and a component of the Naval Special Warfare Command. Among the S.E.A.L.s main function is to conduct small-unit maritime military operations that originate from, and return to, a river, ocean, swamp, delta, or coastline. The S.E.A.L.s are trained to operate in all environments.
'They are one of the most adaptable special forces units in the world. They're constantly evolving to fight in all sorts of different environments and new threats to international security. Assassinating terrorist leaders, hostage rescues and destroying enemy fortifications, they literally do it all!" Barry said.
Having roots tracing back to the 'frogmen' of World War II, the Navy Sea, Air, and Land units were first organized when President John F. Kennedy recognized the situation in Southeast Asia had a need for unconventional warfare and special operations measures against their Communist aggressors. Trained to operate in the harshest of environments and with constantly evolving tactics, they would quickly come to strike fear into the hearts of their Viet Cong adversaries, who called them 'the men with green faces.'
''And with that they proved to the world their toughness, tenacity and adaptability to fight in any climate and that will give the S.A.S. a challenge they'll never forget.'' Barry concluded.
The amphibious warriors engaged America's enemies with an arsenal that lead them to victory all over the world.
Melee: Ontario Mk.3 Navy
Short Range: H&K Mark 23
Mid-Range: H&K MP5N
Long Range Assault: Colt M4A1
Long Range Sniper: Mk.11 Mod.0
Explosive: C-4
Both special ops unit were proficient in hand to hand combat. They used deadly blades to relieve their enemies of life. Up first will be the S.A.S. with their favorite blade.
For this test, we will demonstrate to an infantry training company at the 2nd Battalion, 54th Infantry Regiment, Alpha Company.
S.A.S. operative Corporal Andy Barclay walks over with his knife in hand.
"Lads, this is the CBM Combat Switchblade. It's the choice of the S.A.S. for several reasons, one being that it's a switchblade providing for a quick draw of the blade and the following kill. Secondly, it has a defensive hack at the bottom. Any other knife hits that hack it damages that other blade and the power of their hit is rendered useless. Lastly, it's built with an intercepting and penetrating tip designed for penetrating skin, bone and most importantly, body armor."
To test out the performance of the blade, Andy will attack a stand in Taliban fighter wearing a man dress. Beard and turban included.
''On 3..2...1... Go!'' Geoff called out.
Andy swings his blade at the target's neck spilling blood in nearly every direction (even getting some on the trainees and Drill Sergeants), he then turns his attention into the target's chest and stomach thrusting into it several times before bringing the blade down onto the crown of the skull.
''Jesus man, what did you do to this guy?'' Dorian laughed as he makes his way over.
''Your first several slashes were directed at this dude's throat severing all major veins and arteries in his neck and if he doesn't get to me right now he's going to bleed out very quickly. For your assault on his chest and stomach you stabbed him over 20 times I'm guessing and you basically turned his insides into mush. So he's a goner both ways.''
''Nice job there friend, I think you'll be in for quite a show when I get to kill my target.'' Navy S.E.A.L. Chief Petty Officer Marcus Murphy said.
The Navy S.E.A.L.s slash back with the U.S. Navy's standard-issue knife.
''The Ontario Mk.3 Navy is the Navy's favorite blade. The heart and soul of the knife is it's 6.5 inch steel blade which is great at slashing, stabbing and cutting someone up. The main edge has saw like serrations good at cutting to the bone.'' Marcus explained.
''Okay Marcus, go ahead and get into position in front of your Taliban victim. On my go you may begin.'' Geoff said.
Marcus nods and stands ready in front of his target.
''On 3..2..1..Go!'' Geoff calls out.
Marcus roars a mighty roar and violently stabs the living crap out of the gel torso spilling blood in almost every possible direction known to man causing the panelists, trainees, Drill Sergeants and Andy cheering. Marcus then violently swings his blade at the neck severing all muscles and the windpipe spilling blood all over him before driving the knife into the torso's face. Not satisfied he violently swings at the arms and severs both of them and continues his assault onto the chest before driving the blade deep into it's neck.
''You've amputated him, you decapitated him, you disemboweled him and you have the blade placed in his neck into his heart.'' Geoff said with a laugh touching the mangled torso.
''Do I even need to explain this guys? He's gone, just gone. No need to evaluate here!'' Dorian said raising his hands in front of him.
''I measured both your striking speed too men. Andy you struck him at 50 miles per hour and Marcus you went at him at a good 83 miles per hour. Damn fast kill.'' Barry said.
Both special operations units have displayed the deadly potential of their knives, which one do our experts believe takes the edge?
''I'm convinced these blades are evenly matched, one was a faster striking the target but that falls upon the man behind the blade. The switchblade has a slightly smaller size ideal for tight spaces and concealing but the Ontario Mk.3 has the reach advantage. Not saying those are enough to give one an edge over the other so I'm calling this one even.'' Geoff started off.
''I agree with everything you just said. One is slightly smaller and one is a bit larger meaning it can cause a bit more trauma to the body. No real differences in the performances of these blades except the speed in which they struck the body so I'm even on it as well.'' Dorian added.
''Even for me. Both did nasty damage to the body and both are efficient at getting through body armor. Even.'' Barry finished.
In melee weapons, both warriors are even.
Coming up, both sides bring out their favorite sidearms and then later, the battle moves at long range when world famous assault rifles clash.
XXXXXX
Now we move on to the preferred sidearms our special ops units carried into combat. Up first will be the Navy S.E.A.L.s with their preferred sidearm.
''Here men I have the Heckler & Koch Mark 23 or just simply H&K Mark 23. It's a semi-automatic large-frame pistol chambered in .45 ACP. designed specifically to be an offensive pistol. It weighs 2 pounds and has a muzzle velocity of 260 meters per second. It uses a 12-round detachable box magazine and has an effective firing range at 50 meters.'' Marcus explained.
To test the Mark 23, our panelists has set up a small test of skill where Marcus will engage Taliban fighters in darkness. He will be provided with a night optic and one magazine to complete the task.
''Okay Marcus, 5 targets in the darkness near the brushes over there and let's see how well you do and how well you shoot.'' Geoff explained.
Marcus nods and loads his weapon and slips on his night optics.
Geoff gives the signal and Marcus advanced on the first target and opens fire. He let's off 3 rounds into the target's chest before setting his sights on the second and third targets respectively. Getting them in his sight picture he unloads 2 rounds each into the targets before ducking behind a small crate placed there as cover. Crouch walking out of cover he spots the last two targets and fires 3 rounds into the fourth target before emptying his last 4 into the fifth and final target.
''Done.'' Marcus called out.
The panelists walk over to inspect the damage.
''Okay Marcus, for your first target I'm seeing 3 to the chest, considering you're using the .45 ACP, those would kill him quickly. Your second and third targets here they both have 2 rounds in the chest equaling two more dead Taliban. For your final four target I see 3 rounds in fourth target and the ring leader here has 4 in his chest. Like the other targets before them they are dead as well.'' Dorian explained.
Since we've already tested the Sig Sauer P226 in 'Delta Force vs. Joint Task Force 2' we will review the testing of that episode and then compare the two pistols physically.
''Okay, I've used both pistols when I served with special forces. I love them both and I trust them with my life in any given scenario. I don't really see each holding an advantage enough for them to edge the other out so I will call my edge on this as even.'' Barry started off.
''I can totally see where you are coming from Barry, the Sig has a 3 rounds more than the Mk.23 but the Mk.23 has the greater stopping power with that .45 ACP. I'll call this one even as well.'' Dorian seconded.
''As with what you both said, neither has a real advantage to give either an edge so even in my book as well.'' Geoff added.
In short range weapons, our warriors are even.
Up next, both units bring out their favored submachine guns and then later the battle for long range dominance begins.
XXXXXX
When breaching a building was required, both units carried with them two lethal submachine guns to cut terrorists down.
Since we've already tested the FN P90 with Joint Task Force 2 and the H&K MP5N is basically an unsuppressed MP5SD, our panel reviews the footage from 'Delta Force vs. Joint Task Force 2' and draw the conclusion from that.
''It's the same result with what we saw with Delta Force and JTF2. The FN P90 has more rounds, a faster rate of fire and a larger caliber crucial for getting past armor, so edge FN P90.'' Barry said as Geoff and Dorian nod in agreement.
In mid-range weapons, the edge goes to the S.A.S. for the FN P90.
XXXXXX
Now we see the long range arsenal our two units bring. However, since the Colt M4A1 and Colt Canada C8 Carbine have been tested before (HK416 is modeled after the M4 family.) We will have the panel review the testing from 'Delta Force vs. Joint Task Force 2' and draw their conclusion from there.
''Same with the testing in that episode. The Colt M4A1 and the C8 Carbine are literally the same rifle given different names. They fire the same cartridge, have the same range, use the same gas system and have the same parts, so we will give neither warrior the edge.'' Geoff said.
For assault rifles, our warriors are even.
Now we move on to the sniper rifles our warriors carried on missions. To test out the snipers, we will conduct the testing at Fort Benning's sniper course.
Andy and Marcus walk over to the table where our panelists await them.
''Alright gentleman, what snipers have you brought for us today?'' Barry asked.
''Today I bring in the Mk.11 Mod.0, it's one of the favored snipers used by the U.S. Navy. It weighs 10 pounds, uses a 10-round box magazine and is a semi-automatic weapon and uses 7.62x51mm NATO.''
''Very nice, and you Andy?'' Barry asked turning to face the S.A.S. operator.
''For me I have the L96A1, it is part of the Accuracy International Arctic Warfare family of bolt-action sniper rifles, so called because they were intended to perform effectively in very cold conditions. It can fire a number of different cartridges like the 7.62×51mm NATO I have right now. It has a muzzle velocity of 850 milliseconds, an effective firing range of 870 yards and utilizes a 10 round detachable box magazine."
''Sadly since the M240 Bravo range is being used by an infantry training company, we can't use full magazines for you guys but the Drill Sergeants spared us 5 rounds for your snipers each.'' Geoff said.
To test out the sniper rifles, our team has set up 3 stationary Taliban fighters hidden behind obstructions such as barrels and the final two are moving targets which will simulate moving insurgents. Andy is up first with the L96A1.
Andy gets into a prone position. He loads in his first magazine and given the nod from Geoff, he takes aim at his first target. The target is hidden in between a stack of barrels. Andy fires his weapon and the target goes down in a mist of blood. Aiming for his second target, he spots it behind an explosive barrel and instead of shooting the target itself, he fires at the barrel and the target is engulfed in the flames.
''That's got to hurt.'' Geoff commented.
Gunning for his last stationary target, he spots it partly obstructed by a column, he fires and the round smashes through the column and hits the target. With that he spots the first moving target and leads it, after a second of leading Andy squeezes the trigger and the target's head is blown off. The final target dashes out into the open and Andy wastes no time in leading it before firing, the round blowing it's head off like before.
''1 minutes and 1 second, excellent show.''
The panelists walk over so Doctor Dorian can assess the damage.
''I see the round dead center in the first target. You got him in the heart for an instant kill. The second one I see one round tearing through his right torso blowing it out, he's done. Your third target the round hit the column and with that it's tumbling and that will cause more damage to this guy and you hit him in the stomach. For your two moving targets, you managed to hit them both in the head blowing it clean off. They won't even hear your shot before everything turns dark.''
''All targets down. Excellent work.'' Barry commented.
''Marcus you're up now.'' Geoff said.
''Oooookayyyyy.'' Marcus says.
Marcus heads to the sniper position and goes prone. He loads his magazine and looks to Geoff.
''Begin.'' Geoff said.
Marcus looks into the scope and spots his first target obstructed by a car. Wasting no time he fires his first round and the target goes down from a penetration shot. Scanning for his second target, he spots it inside a phone booth and squeezes the trigger, the target taking the round to the hip. He spots his final stationary target and wasted no time in putting a round through it's head.
''Unleash the moving targets!'' Geoff called out.
Marcus spots his first moving Taliban target and leads it for about 4 seconds before firing, the target taking a round to the neck. Seeing his second moving target make a run for it. He ambushes it and fires his last round, the target taking it through the shoulder.
''Wow, that was a quick test at 58 seconds Marcus, good job!'' Geoff said.
Doctor Dorian walks over to inspect the damage.
''Alright Marcus, your first target has the round find it's way into his cheek basically obliterating his face, he's done for. Your second target took that round to the hip and actually hit the spine severing the spinal cord, he's paralyzed and the bleed out will be the killer here. That third target over there is self explanatory. The head is gone. Moving on to your two running men, the first one has a round in his neck, well what's left of his neck, yeah he's dead before he heard the shot. Your last guy took the round to the shoulder which would tear through his clavicle and possibly sever the brachial artery from the impact, dead on arrival.''
Both sides have shown us their sniper rifles, which one does the panel believe takes the edge?
''I'm most likely going to call this one even'' Barry started out ''They fire the same round, have about the same range and both put their targets down in one shot.''
''I agree completely, they really don't carry any significant advantages over the other to get the edge here. The Mk.11 is the semi-automatic weapon in this which means it shoots faster, but the L96A1 is a bolt-action rifle. Other than that it's even no matter what.'' Dorian added
''Totally going with what you've said. Even across the freaking board!'' Geoff concluded.
In long range snipers, both warriors are even.
Up next, we conclude weapon testing between two lethal explosives. Then later, S.A.S.? Or Navy S.E.A.L.? Which legendary special ops unit will emerge victorious?
XXXXXX
We are now one step away from the most anticipated battle in 'Deadliest Warrior' history! Firstly we will finish the testing off with a bang.
The team heads out to the Malone 1 Hand Grenades Range to test out the explosive weapons our warriors used.
''Alright warriors, please present to us your final weapons.'' Barry said.
''Here I have the C-4 or composition C-4. It's a plastic explosive filled with mostly RDX. C-4 is very stable and insensitive to most physical shocks. C-4 cannot be detonated by a gunshot or by dropping it onto a hard surface. It does not explode when set on fire or exposed to microwave radiation. The only way you can get this to explode is by inserting a blasting cap, some detonation cord and a clicker.'' Marcus explained.
''Very good, Andy?'' Barry asked.
''For me, I have the M18A1 Claymore. It's a directional anti-personnel mine developed for the United States Armed Forces. Its inventor, Norman MacLeod, named the mine after a large Scottish medieval sword. Unlike a conventional land mine, the Claymore is command-detonated and directional, meaning it is fired by remote-control and shoots a pattern of metal balls into the kill zone like a shotgun. The Claymore's payload consists of steel balls able to reach out to about 100 meters within a 60° arc in front of the device. It is used primarily in ambushes and as an anti-infiltration device against enemy infantry. It is also used against unarmored vehicles.''
To test out the explosive power of both weapons, each expert will have one detonation to kill a group of 10 Taliban fighters. Andy's 10 targets placed in a formation to compensate for the Claymore's 60 degree angle spread while Marcus will set his C-4 in the center of his group of targets.
''Okay guys, there stands 10 Taliban insurgents ready to get wrecked by you, so go ahead and place your explosives in their respective places.'' Geoff said.
Andy and Marcus walk over to their respective pits where their targets are. Marcus places his C-4 in the center of his group of targets as Andy places his Claymore in front of his group. They walk back and head into the control tower.
''Alright! Andy you will detonate first, 3...2...1...Go!'' Geoff said.
Andy clicks on his detonator and in an instant the mine detonates and several targets fall over with one flying away a few feet.
''Nice! Your turn Marcus!'' Barry exclaimed.
Marcus nods and and raises his detonator, pressing it the C-4 detonates and engulfs it's targets in a fiery explosion.
''Holy shit!'' Dorian exclaimed.
Reviewing the slow motion footage, it shows the awesome destructive power of both weapons in amazing detail.
''Jesus, let's go see what the damage is.'' Dorian insisted.
Walking over to Marcus's pit, the team gazes in aw at the destruction left behind.
''Holy cow, these bodies are just charred, the guys closest to the C-4 took the worst of it as I can see that a few of them are missing an arm or a leg. The initial explosion would've killed the guys closest to it and the ones farther away would've died from any fragmentation. All Taliban insurgents are dead.'' Dorian explained.
Walking over to Andy's pit, the team laughs at the utter destruction left behind.
''I'm noticing the damage done by the steel balls, the balls are shredding their way through all these guys. They're all dead.''
After a brutal display of both explosives, which one takes the edge?
''I'm going on even on this one. They are both stationary explosives and can cause a lot of pain on your enemy. If they blow up and you're caught within the blast, well good luck.'' Geoff started off.
''I'm tempted to give this to the C-4, it's explosive was larger and it isn't a unidirectional weapon while the Claymore is.'' Dorian said.
''I've used both before when I was in the Green Berets, they both as Geoff has said cause a lot of destruction and anyone caught in the blasts are screwed. I'll go even as well because of how effective they are.'' Barry spoke up.
In explosive weapons, both warriors are dead even.
Up next, Barry will gauge the x-factors and then, S.A.S.? Or Navy S.E.A.L.? Which legendary special operations unit will win?
XXXXXX
''Alright, let's do these x-factors.'' Barry said.
''Training is first always and both these units want the best warriors to be amongst their ranks. The S.A.S. is known to tie their trainees to a chair, blindfolded and thrown into a pool in the darkness. The S.E.A.L.s just train nonstop and the constant training without sleep weeds out the weak. I had to rate these guys at a 94 each for the sole purpose of how they train.''
''Adaptability is another important factor and the S.E.A.L.s take a one point lead because they have traveled farther away from the country giving them exposure to new enemies, climates and terrain while the S.A.S. focus mainly on Great Britain's interest but they've still been everywhere. The S.E.A.L.s have an 89 to the S.A.S. 88.''
''Combat Experience is another good one and again this goes to the S.E.A.L.s because again, they've traveled a little farther away from their country so they have an 87 to the S.A.S. 86.''
''Up next is physicality and both these units are trained in very intense programs that ensures they won't tire and fatigue easily carrying heavy loads. So they have a 91 each.''
''For tactics, the S.A.S. are the original special forces group so they have years and years of experience compared to the S.E.A.L.s giving them more time to perfect themselves so they scored a 97 to the S.E.A.L.s 93.''
''Lastly we conclude this with dedication and this goes to the S.E.A.L.s because they absolutely won't stop until they complete their mission as a team and only as a team or until they are killed. So they have a 92 to the S.A.S. 91.''
We've now finished up testing the weapons and gauging the x-factors of both warriors, we will now run the simulator 1,000 times to decide the winner. Barry will run the simulator 1,000 times pitting 5 S.A.S. operatives against 5 Navy S.E.A.L.s
Who will win between two legendary special operations units?
Great Britain
(Several S.A.S. operatives storm into a building occupied by I.R.A., the Irish terrorists are gunned down effortlessly as the S.A.S. shoot their way through them.)
vs.
United States of America
(S.E.A.L. trainees are seen doing a 50-mile road march in full gear, one falls over in exhaustion but his fellow trainees pick him up and carry him forward to the end.)
Counter-terrorist
(S.A.S. operatives are seen engaging Taliban fighters during Tora Bora, the insurgents fall to their various attacks.)
vs.
Counter-terrorist
(S.E.A.L.s are seen sneaking into a Taliban cave network where they stealthily kill all the insurgents inside before clearing it.)
Who will remain standing?
''The most asked question and most debated match-up in our history is about to go down. In the end, only one legend will rise above the other, let's see who wins this.'' Barry said pressing the enter key.
XXXXXX
The battle begins underwater off the coast of Wales. A submarine, the U.S.S. Anchorage is seen sneaking it's way through the ocean depths. A hatch opens and we see 5 Navy S.E.A.L.s swim out into the water.
Their orders are to secure the oil platform off the coast of the U.K. and after a few minutes of swimming they spot the oil platform they are ordered to take control of and begin heading towards it.
Navy S.E.A.L.: 5
On the oil platform, men in black uniforms and gas masks are seen walking around, this is a 5 man S.A.S. fire team and the Queen has personally ask them herself to guard it, the team leader is perched high on the lookout tower with his L96A1 peeking into the scope.
S.A.S.: 5
Unknown to them however, the S.E.A.L.s have already surfaced and the team leader orders his sniper to find a high spot, the sniper complies and jogs off with his Mk.11.
The rest split off into two man teams and begin fanning out. Two frogmen make their way up a set up stairs and unfortunately the British sniper spots the boonie hat wearing Americans. Looking into his scope, he takes a deep breath and after a few seconds, fires his sniper. The S.E.A.L. up front grunts and falls over with a round to the neck.
''Goddamn!'' His partner says frustratingly as he drags off his bleeding friend. He radios in the presence of the sniper to his own sniper. Hearing the sniper shot, the rest of the British operatives begin moving toward the sound of their sniper's shot with weapons in hand.
The S.E.A.L. sniper is seen perched near a window where he begins scanning for the S.A.S. sniper. The other S.E.A.L. struggles to save his bleeding comrade but unfortunately, he has lost too much blood and succumbs to his injury.
Navy S.E.A.L.: 4 - S.A.S.: 5
The S.E.A.L. team leader and his second in command scan the upper floors of the oil platform, hearing footsteps they turn their weapons towards the sound and 2 S.A.S. operatives pop out of the doorway.
Reacting quickly the S.E.A.L.s open fire causing one of the Brits to jump forward for cover and the other British operative takes a salvo of lead riddling his body before he drops dead, blood begins staining the ground beneath him.
Navy S.E.A.L.: 4 - S.A.S.: 4
''Stay here and find that other enemy, I'll go and search for the other three.'' The S.E.A.L. team leader orders.
Nodding, the leader takes off. The S.E.A.L. gets up and slowly moves toward the downed British operative, nudging him with his boot, he turns around and jumps towards cover at the set of pipes the second he spots the other S.A.S. operative raising his P90 and open fires on him, the American jumps away just in time to avoid being riddled with lead.
The S.E.A.L. begins sneaking around the pipes and draws his Mk.3 knife, he comes behind the British operative and jumps on him and tosses him against the wall dropping his P90 in the process. The S.E.A.L. lunges forward with a kick to the stomach which pushes the S.A.S. back towards the wall. The S.A.S. operative draws his switchblade and goes in for a thrust which the American frogman catches with his longer knife.
Parrying the blow, the S.E.A.L. twists his blade around temporarily disarming the British soldier. The S.E.A.L. lunges forward with his knife however, the British operative catches the American by the arm and shoulder throws him, with his opponent on the ground, the Brit makes a break for his P90 and quickly scoops it up.
Turning quickly to face the American who had just gotten up and is charging towards him, the Brit fires a 5 round burst into the American knocking him backwards against the wall, the frogman slumps slowly to the ground, a trail of blood follows.
Navy S.E.A.L.: 3 - S.A.S.: 4
The S.E.A.L. sniper peers through the scope and spots the other two men in black and fires off a round catching one of them in the arm and knocking him down. The other British soldier quickly goes for cover. Quickly peering his head out, he ducks just as the S.E.A.L. fires and just barely misses him.
He crawls towards the frogman's location, the other S.A.S. operative runs out of cover to create a diversion, the American spots him and he fires but misses. Unknown to the S.E.A.L. the other Brit had made his way to his location and slowly ascends the ladder.
Quickly taking his P226 from it's holster, he points it at the American from a few feet and squeezes the trigger, splattering the frogman's brains everywhere.
Navy S.E.A.L.: 2 - S.A.S.: 4
After checking if the S.E.A.L. is dead the S.A.S. operative looks over the railing and sees his wounded colleague, giving him the thumbs up to which he returns, suddenly multiple gunshots ring out as he sees his comrade twitch from multiple bullets hitting his body before falling over in a bloody mess.
Navy S.E.A.L.: 2 - S.A.S.: 3
The two remaining seals emerge from the corner, one of them being the team leader who had found one of his remaining men holding a smoking MP5N and an M4A1. Yelling in anger for his fallen comrade, he raises his C8 carbine and opens fire on the Americans, ducking as the gunshots ring out, one of the frogmen takes a C-4 and runs out of cover with his leader. Hoping the Brit would give chase, he does just that and goes after his adversaries.
He reaches the corner where they ran off and peeks over it, seeing no one, he rushes out to get himself to the nearest cover only for an explosion to suddenly wring out and he is killed in the ensuing blast, his body being knocked against the wall, charred and broken.
Navy S.E.A.L.: 2 - S.A.S.: 2
Walking up to the body, the S.E.A.L. team leader nudges the Brit's corpse, seeing he is dead, he nods to his last man and they take off looking for any remaining enemies.
Moments later, the S.A.S. sniper, having departed from his position in the tower, comes across the charred corpse of one of his comrades. He radios into his leader ''Are you there? This is your leader, I think it's only me and you remaining.''
Static...
''I copy sergeant, I am on the third floor office.'' His soldier replies.
With that, the S.A.S. sniper grabs his comrade's Carbine and knife before taking off. The S.A.S. leader, in the office plants a claymore in front of the door, hearing running footsteps, he slowly backs away from the door and hides in the other room and looks through the window.
The door opens slowly and one of the seals slowly enters when suddenly..
'BOOM!'
The American is blown into the wall, his lifeless body slumps to the ground, his chest shredded by the claymore's ball bearings.
Navy S.E.A.L.: 1 - S.A.S.: 2
''No!'' The S.E.A.L. leader screams before running to check his friend. Seeing no signs of life, the seal, enraged follows the detonation cord and reaches the other room. Peeking just a little bit he moves his head back just as the Brit opens fire with his pistol. Brandishing his own pistol, he quickly charges into the room and both sides exchange gunfire before the seal manages to reach a desk.
Hearing his British opponent reloading his pistol, he jumps out of cover and opens fire at the desk where the Brit is hiding, the bullets penetrate and the British operative goes down holding his neck and arm.
Taking his Mk.3 knife, he walks up to the wounded British soldier and thrusts his blade down. The S.A.S. operatives catches the blade but after losing some blood from his gunshot wounds, he deliberately relaxes his arms, knowing he won't be able to resist and the American plunges his knife in his eye through the lens of his mask.
Navy S.E.A.L.: 1 - S.A.S.: 1
The American gets up with his bloodied knife in hand, realizing what had just happened, he looks at the dead operative's body and nods in respect. He turns around and exits the office. Walking over to his fallen comrade's body, he grabs his fallen comrade's M4A1 before giving a final nod to him and cautiously makes his way across the upper decks.
He makes his way up to the helipad and begins radioing for evac. Just as he is about speak a bullet hit's the radio and the device breaks down. He attempts to reach for his M4 but the S.A.S. operative fires another round and the rifle is shot several feet away. Quickly jumping to a nearby set up pipes for cover, he take's his Mk.23 from his holster and checks it.
''2-rounds left..'' He thinks to himself.
He sees the shadow of his adversary slowly approach his location and quickly jumps out of cover and both soldier's spot each other at the same time and open fire simultaneously.
Both men take a round to the shoulder knocking them backwards clutching their wounds. The S.A.S. operative gets up first and points his P226 at the American, seeing his opponent, the frogman quickly aims his Mk.23 and shoots the sig out of the Brit's grip. Jumping back in surprise, the British soldier draws his knife and quickly runs toward the American.
Firing his weapon but only met with clicking, the seal tosses his pistol aside and draws his knife and meets the British soldier head on. Their blades intercept one another and both struggle to gain dominance, however since they've both sustained bullet wounds the pain was becoming unbearable for both and they let go and create some space.
Clutching their wounds and looking at each other with teeth clenched. The American would go first and attempt a slash aimed at the Brit's neck but the British operative ducks and thrusts his knife into the American's side.
Ignoring the pain, the American responds by lunging himself forward at the British soldier and roundhouse kicks him, seeing him stumble back, he goes in for a hurricane kick but the British soldier blocks it and brings his elbow down onto the Seal's leg putting him to the ground.
Groaning through clenched teeth in pain, the frogman responds by reaching his arms forward and grabs his foe's arm and shoulder throws him to the ground while disarming him in the process. Holding his opponent in a joint lock, he goes to bring his knife down only for the British soldier to free himself just in time and rolls out the way.
Running over to where his knife is, he scoops it up and turns while swinging with his knife pointed out and connects with the American. The British operative looks at where his knife went, straight through the Yank's heart.
The S.E.A.L. looks at the him with a smirk before he coughs blood as his head slumps forward, the life having been drained from him.
Navy S.E.A.L.: 0 - S.A.S.: 1
Pulling his knife out, he lowers the dead American to the ground. Standing tall over the corpse he raises his bloodied switchblade into the air and shouts ''Who dares wins!'''

In our closest battle yet between two legendary special operations units. The S.A.S. barely, just barely emerged victorious with 50.2% of the victories. Their tactics and superior training combined allowing them to emerge the winners. The Navy S.E.A.L.s were no easy opponent, they had the much more powerful explosive and their Mark 23's greater stopping power kept this just a hair away behind the S.A.S. with over 49.8% of the wins. Lastly, the x-factors were virtually dead even and in conclusion the battle was a literal draw.
''Wow, just wow.'' Geoff says with awe. ''This was easily the greatest match we've seen so far and probably will be the best ever. This match was so razor thin close. In the end it was the S.A.S.'s years of experience and they were the originators of what the tactics the S.E.A.L.s threw at them.''
''It was a phenomenal battle. It came down to just a 4 kill difference. The edges were dead even. The x-factors were dead even. It seriously just came down to the small quirks in the tactics x-factor that the S.A.S. came out on top.'' Dorian commented.
''I'd like to thank both experts for being here today. They gave us the best match ever and regardless of the results. Mack would've been proud.'' Barry added.
(The S.A.S. operative is seen sitting against a wall. He is seen staring at the fallen frogman's picture of his wife and child, along with his photo I.D. and personal information. He then proceeds to gather the bodies of his comrades and the S.E.A.L.s and place them neatly in rows. Then he walks into the office and finds some pen and paper and begins writing a letter to the fallen S.E.A.L.'s wife.)
