A/N: And so it's come down to this, the final battle for redemption and our conclusion of season two. I'd like to thank everyone who has been there for me since the beginning and given me excellent reasons to why warriors win and not giving me half-assed reasons. This was another difficult fight to resolve due to the closeness of these two warriors. In the end I went with the one I believe is the deadliest warrior which is again, strictly my opinion so anyone who may be butthurt relax.

Joint Task Force 2: The elite special operations division of the Canadian Army whose tenacity and cunning make them a terrorist's worst nightmare.
(A JTF2 fireteam is ambushed by Taliban insurgents while conducting a humanitarian mission in a remote Afghan village. The Canadians return fire and outgun the insurgents taking several out before the stragglers retreat.)
vs.
Sayeret Matkal: Israel's premiere special forces trained to neutralize all threats posed to the Jewish nation.
(Sayeret Matkal operators shoot their way through a city street infested with Hezbollah militants. The militants are taken out one by one until none are left standing.)
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!
Last time both units were defeated in close contests in their respective battles...
(The JTF2 Sergeant has his armed pinned behind his back and the Delta Force Sergeant viciously slams his head repeatedly into the hood of the humvee. The Canadian then takes a knee to the face and the Delta empties his Beretta's magazine into his chest.)
...but now what will happen when they are brought together to compete in a five-on-five war for dominance?
(The Sayeret Matkal leader is twirled and his arms forced against his back, before he knows it the Spetsnaz leader takes his saiga-12 and blows his head to pieces with one blast.)
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 fight between two of the world's most highly trained military units.

''What an exciting match we have here today on redemption gents and a great way to end season two altogether.'' Barry started off obviously very excited, ''Two super elite special forces units are going to collide for the first time ever and only one will redeem themselves. They've faced opponents who are just as skilled as them but came up short.''
''The Joint Task Force 2 and Sayeret Matkal are both tier one special forces units. They've been frequently compared to other units such as the S.A.S., Navy S.E.A.L.s and Spetsnaz GRU but have never been compared to one another so I'm totally excited.'' Geoff said.
''Both are motivated, highly trained, dangerous as all hell and are still out there battling militants. I can't wait to start.'' Dorian added.
''We've got rifles both assault and snipers, explosives, knives, pistols, hell everything! Let's go!'' Barry finished.
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
Assault Rifle: Colt Canada C8 Carbine
Sniper Rifle: McMillan TAC-50
Explosive: M67 Grenade
And for the Sayeret Matkal, they come into battle with an equally lethal arsenal they used to fiercely defend their homeland against all militants.
Melee: Ka-bar
Short Range: Glock 19
Mid-Range: Uzi
Assault Rifle: IWI TAR-21
Sniper Rifle: M89SR
Explosive: M26A2 Grenade
When terrorists dared to challenge them in melee combat, both units used very deadly and effective blades to cut the enemy down.
The team now reviews the testing of both the karambit and the ka-bar in their debut episodes. After a very intense debate they have finally made up their minds. Let's see what they say.
''I like both knives to be honest. They are good at silencing your enemy with just one move. I think the experts can easily do the same damage switching knives so I have to call this even across the board.'' Geoff started off.
''Notice in the design too that they both can catch each other's blades. The ka-bar can get caught within the concave side of the karambit while the serrated edge of the ka-bar can intercept the karambit. I'm going with you on this and calling it even.'' Dorian seconded.
''I much prefer the ka-bar for it's slightly thicker blade, but the karambit proves to be just as nasty with it's curved blade making it dish out deadly cuts. So edge even.'' Barry concluded.
In melee weapons, the edge is dead even.
For short range engagements, both units utilized two very accurate and effective pistols to blow their enemy's brains to the floor.
The team watches the test footage of the SIG Sauer P226 and the Glock 19 in their debut episodes. After another discussion they've made their decisions.
''I don't see any advantages these two pistols carry over the other. The SIG is more accurate and both pistols are super reliable. I'm calling this even.'' Geoff said.
''These two pistols fire large magazines, the SIG normally would use 20 rounds in it's magazine while the Glock would usually have 17-round extension. I'm calling this even too.'' Dorian added.
''It will fall upon the individual discipline of these two special forces. Like you said doc, one has 3 more rounds than the other and showcases it's good accuracy but then again whoever shoots first probably wins.'' Barry concluded.
In short range weapons, it's another toss-up.
For mid-range weapons, both units used punishing submachine guns to pepper their targets full of lead.
The team reviews the testing of both the FN P90 and Uzi in their debut episodes. After discussing the specifications of both weapons they finally come to a decision.
''Both weapons have very high rates of fire which would easily cut down anyone they're shooting at. In the end though I have to give the FN P90 the edge.'' Geoff said.
''It has a larger magazine, larger cartridge ideal for piercing body armor. The FN P90 blows past the Uzi by a long shot.'' Dorian commented.
''While the Uzi is in it's own right a punishing weapon, the P90's larger magazine size, cartridge, bullpup design which is superb for close-quarters and it's faster rate of fire overpowers the Uzi up close. So edge FN P90.'' Barry finished.
In mid-range weapons, the edge goes to Joint Task Force 2 for the FN P90.

Moving on to assault rifles, both used very accurate weapon systems capable of killing terrorists from over 2,000 meters away.
The team reviews the testing of the IWI TAR-21 and the Colt Canada C8 Carbine in their debuts. After a heated debate between them they have finally come to their conclusion.
''Both weapons fire the same cartridge and have effective ranges of over 500 plus meters. Both are optimized for indoor use but the IWI's bullpup design makes is near perfect for that. However I'll give the edge as even.'' Geoff started off
''I'll give the C8 the edge because it seems to be more accurate and has a tighter shot group which allows you to put the target down quicker.'' Dorian countered
The tiebreaker falls down to Barry.
''You both present very valid countermeasures. In the end I'll go with even because these weapons are near identical in terms of statistics. Both are also very reliable and that range they have puts them on an even playing field. We'll see which soldier uses their rifle more skillfully.''
In assault rifles, it's another draw.
And for snipers these units carried powerful, hard-hitting weapons capable of killing a man from more than a mile away. The JTF2 McMillan TAC-50 and the Sayeret Matkal M89SR.
The team reviews the testing of the two snipers during their debut episodes. After they finish they then offer their insights.
''I'm giving the edge to the McMillan TAC-50 because it has a lot more range going for it and it fires the more powerful cartridge.'' Geoff said.
''When you compare the ranges of these two, the McMillan has about 800 more base range in terms of meters. It fires the more powerful cartridge but has slightly less muzzle velocity than the M89SR, but in the end I'm giving this to the for that .50 BMG. Seriously if that rounds hits you in the head or chest, good luck.'' Dorian seconded.
Barry lets out a sigh. ''The M89SR is a good sniper, however, I call this in favor of the more powerful sniper and one shot on any part of the body it's game over for you.''
In sniper rifles. The edge goes to Joint Task Force 2 for the McMillan TAC-50.

Finally, we conclude the weapons review by looking at the favored explosive weapons carried by our warriors.
The team reviews the testing of the M26A2 grenade from 'Sayeret Matkal vs. Spetsnaz GRU. After noting it's explosive power we move on to the Joint Task Force 2's grenade of choice.
JTF2 operator Sergeant Reyolds walks over with his grenade in hand.
''Hello men nice to see you again, here I have the M67 fragmentation grenade. It has a spherical steel body that contains 6.5 ounces of composition B explosive. It uses the M213 pyrotechnic delay fuze. The M67 grenade weighs 14 ounces in total and has a safety clip to prevent the safety pin on the grenade from being pulled accidentally. The safety pin prevents the safety lever, or "spoon" on the grenade from moving and releasing the spring-loaded striker which initiates the grenade's fuze assembly. Lastly it has a kill radius of 15 meters.''
To test out the M67, Reynolds will toss it into a pit with 5 enemy combatants in it.
''Okay Reynolds, here we have a pit with 5 Israeli special forces in it. We have the 50G and 100G shock patches on them so we can measure the explosive force and see if the concussion is enough to kill them.'' Geoff explained.
Reynolds nods and thumbs the safety clip before pulling the pin. Hastily tossing the grenade into the pit he and the panel frantically run for cover behind the Plexiglas barrier. After about five seconds the grenade detonates sending one of the targets flying out of the pit.
''Holy crap, did you guys see that little mushroom cloud?!'' Geoff exclaimed.
The team now review the slow motion footage to gauge the M67's explosive power.
''Wow, look at that there is a mushroom cloud!'' Barry said.
''That's our little nuclear grenade eh?'' Said Reynolds with a smile.
They then walk over to the pit to assess the damage.
''Holy crap, look at this mess!'' Dorian exclaimed, ''I see limbs everywhere and a lot of shrapnel riddling all five of them. I can safely say that these are kills. All of the 100G shock patches are tripped so they're all double dead.''
After testing the M67, where do our panelists stand?
''Comparing the explosive power between these two is a wash, from what we've seen they are capable of killing you from about the same range and they both pack the same explosive payload. Edge even.'' Geoff said.
''The M67's more round shape does leave it more susceptible to rolling away from the target, but the similar explosive power speaks for itself. Even.'' Dorian seconded.
''I'm even on it as well. Having the same explosive power automatically puts them on an even playing field.'' Barry finished.
In explosive weapons, both warriors are even again.
Coming up! Barry gauges the x-factors and then later, our battle between two revered special forces begins!

Welcome back to the fight club, here we reviewed and tested the weapons used by two of Earth's most elite special forces to find out who is the deadliest warrior!
For melee weapons, both the karambit and the ka-bar knives were proven to be equally effective and deadly.
''The designs of these two knives are drastically different and the damage they'll do is different. However both blades can intercept each other and if the soldiers' both switched knives they can do the same damage.'' Geoff explained.
Edge: Even
For short range weapons, both the SIG Sauer P226 and the Glock 19 were both considered near equals.
''Just like the knives, the performance of these two weapons will depend on the skill of the soldier wielding it. The SIG's only main advantage is it's larger magazine.''
Edge: Even
For mid-range weapons, the JTF2's FN P90 outperformed the Sayeret Matkal's Uzi.
''The Uzi is a great weapon, but it comes up short against the P90 because it has armor-piercing rounds, faster rate of fire and it's bullpup design is superb for indoors.''
Edge: Joint Task Force 2
For assault rifles, the Colt Canada C8 Carbine and the IWI TAR-21 were determined to be equally lethal.
''The TAR is better suited for indoors fighting because it's a bullpup design. However, the C8 seems to have tighter shot groups allowing it to put the target down faster but the fact that these two weapons use 30-round magazines and fire the same cartridges makes this an even comparison.''
Edge: Even
For sniper rifles, the McMillan TAC-50 proved overall superior to the M89SR.
''Larger caliber, has a lot more range gives the TAC-50 a massive edge over the M89SR which has the same range as most assault rifles.''
Edge: Joint Task Force 2
And finally, for explosive weapons both grenades of these two units proved to yield the same payload.
''These two grenades are both made by the United States and judging by what we saw they both pack the same explosive power therefore making this even.'' Geoff concluded.
Edge: Even
And now Barry will review the x-factors of these two units.
''X-factor review time!" Barry said as he takes a seat in front of his computer.
''First and always we have training. The Sayeret Matkal and JTF2 both scored a 94 each.''
''Next is tactics and I rated them even at a 91 each.''
''For physicality I decided to make this another even comparison because the Canadians have the frigid arctic weather while the Israelis have the scorching hot deserts. It's a toss up with both getting a 91 each.''
''Fourth is combat experience and the JTF2 has been away from their native Canada while the Sayeret is only focused on Israel so they have an 87 to the Sayeret's 78.''
''Moving on to extremism I gave it to the Sayeret because they are fighting daily for the literal survival of Israel and are doing whatever they can to kill every single terrorist who dares to threaten their country. They had a 90 to the JTF2'S 89.''
''Last but not least we have organization and this goes to the JTF2 for having stricter requirements. They have a 90 to the Sayeret's 88.''
Barry has just finished gauging the x-factors, now he will run the simulator one-thousand times in a battle to the death between 5 Joint Task Force 2 operators and 5 Sayeret Matkal operatives.
Who will win the battle between two super elite, well-trained and deadly special forces units
''In the end, only one special forces unit will redeem themselves. Let's see who it is.'' Barry said pressing the button.

The battle brings us to the smoking aftermath of Jerusalem, Canada and Israel have been having bad blood with one another and the Canadian Air Force has just completed carpet bombing Jerusalem to kingdom come.
In the center of town we see 4 men Sayeret Matkal operatives sitting down in the square next to a fountain while eating MREs. Their sniper perched up on a nearby store with his M89SR scanning the surrounding area for any threats.
Sayeret Matkal: 5
Several blocks away 5 Joint Task Force 2 operators are seen sneaking their way through the ruined streets. Under direct orders from the Prime Minister they are to conduct a sweep of the city and capture or kill any remaining Israeli forces within to maintain control until the main force can arrive.
Joint Task Force 2: 5
The Canadians continue prowling when eventually they come across the square and spot the relaxing Israelis. The JTF2 sergeant takes his McMillan TAC-50 and orders his men to set up positions as he enters a small two story clothes store. One JTF2 operator readies an M67, primed and ready to blow the Israelis up.
However, they are noticed by the Israeli sniper who takes aim at the Canadian armed with the grenade just as he heads back into cover awaiting his sergeant's signal.
The JTF2 sergeant makes his way to the roof of the small store and gets into a prone position and looks into the scope. Taking aim at one Israeli he takes a few breaths before squeezing the trigger.
The Israeli going down with a round flying straight through his head quite literally blowing it to pieces.
Sayeret Matkal: 4 - Joint Task Force 2: 5
''מה לעזאזל?!'' The lead Israeli shouts out, given their cue the Canadians then pop out of hiding and open fire with their guns prompting the Israelis to duck behind the fountain. The JTF2 operator with the M67 pops out and prepares to toss his grenade but before he could even do that the Israeli sniper fires his M89SR and drops the Canadian soldier with a bullet that tears through his chest cavity obliterating his heart. The grenade exploding in his hand.
Sayeret Matkal: 4 - Joint Task Force 2: 4
''Shit, we just lost Messelier!'' One of his comrades shout out.
The two sides continue exchanging gun fire while the JTF2 sergeant and Israeli sniper continue to play cat and mouse with one another. Seeing this go nowhere the Israelis decide to run off into the alleyways and regroup in another location.
''Chase those sons of bitches!'' The JTF2 corporal orders as he and the other two take off after their Israeli enemies. On the rooftops the JTF2 sergeant takes his helmet off and places it on the barrel of his C8, having been pinned down many times by enemy snipers he knows this trick will work and proceeds to slowly raise the rifle out of cover while looking through his scope.
Spotting what he thinks to be the Canadian sniper fires at the helmet and the shot ricochets off the helmet. With his enemy exposing his position the JTF2 sergeant quickly fires off his own round that sails through the air and hits the Israeli in his neck.
The round having severed his carotid artery he is left choking on the piece of lead before he eventually bleeds to death.
Satisfied with his work the JTF2 commander grabs his C8 and runs off after his men.
Sayeret Matkal: 3 - Joint Task Force 2: 4
Meanwhile the other JTF2 operators continue running after the Israelis. Turning a corner the JTF2 operative in front stops abruptly when he is cut down from a storm of bullets from a Sayeret soldier taking cover behind a car with his TAR-21. The Canadian takes one last bullet to the head before falling backwards into the arms of the man behind him.
Sayeret Matkal: 3 - Joint Task Force 2: 3
''We've got another man down! You, Jean toss a grenade at the motherfucker!" The JTF2 Corporal ordered in frustration.
Acknowledging his superior's orders, the JTF2 operator in question takes an M67 from his pouch and pulls the pin cooking the explosive, after three seconds he jumps out quickly behind cover and tosses the grenade hitting the Israeli right on the helmet.
Feeling the force of something hitting his helmet the Israeli looks to his side and goes wide-eyed. Without a moment's notice he is killed in the all consuming explosion.
Sayeret Matkal: 2 - Joint Task Force 2: 3
With their enemy dispatched the Canadians then advance forward and enter the small convenience store at their 12 o' clock. As soon as they enter the JTF2 soldier in front is gunned down by an Israeli armed with an Uzi.
The salvo of lead sending his body back against a nearby wall as he twitches before dying.
Sayeret Matkal: 2 - Joint Task Force 2: 2
''Shit!'' The JTF2 corporal shouted as he back up against the wall.
He peeks into the doorway and jerks his head back the moment the Israeli soldier fires at him. The bullet striking the wall. The JTF2 corporal draws his pistol and quickly dashes into the room drawing fire from the Israeli soldier.
Running and jumping behind a counter he then peeks over it and spots the Israeli reloading his TAR-21. Taking the opportunity he jumps out from cover and runs over to the Sayeret soldier kicking the TAR-21 out of his grip and pins him against a wall.
He slashes the Israeli across the face before stabbing him several times in the chest.
The Sayeret corporal struggles to fight back but the Canadian finishes him off with one final slash to the throat severing his arteries.
Left to choke on his blood he can only watch as the Canadian sets his body down and walks away. His breathing stops abruplty and he goes limp.
Sayeret Matkal: 1 - Joint Task Force 2: 2
Exiting out of the building the JTF2 corporal is suddenly grabbed and pinned to the wall. Looking at his assailant he sees his team leader in front of him.
''Woah Sergeant it's me!'' He says holding his hands up defensively.
''Shit, my mistake. Did you get those Israeli's?'' The sergeant asked.
Nodding they both then make their way through the empty streets. When they turn a corner they fail to spot the grenade that slowly rolls it's way towards them. Hearing the sound of something rolling the JTF2 corporal spots the grenade at his feet.
''Look out!''
Reacting quickly he shoves his sergeant away and covers the explosive with his body. The grenade detonating and Canadian's corpse enveloped in an explosion, his body taking almost all of the blast.
Sayeret Matkal: 1 - Joint Task Force 2: 1
''Motherfucker!'' The sergeant shouted in frustration as the smoke clears. He looks up and spots the lifeless corpse of his corporal. Grunting in anger he gets up to pull it body out of sight.
Before he can do so the Sayeret leader jumps out of cover with his Glock 19 and opens fire. The sudden gunshots forcing the JTF2 sergeant to cover. Reaching for his SIG he draws it out of it's holster and blind-fires it.
One of the rounds strikes the Israeli in his upper shoulder and he is knocked to the ground in pain clutching his wound.
Hearing his opponent grunt in pain and falling the JTF2 Sergeant shouted ''Got you son of a bitch!'' Before running out of cover to finish his adversary.
The Sayeret Sergeant gets up and runs off into a path that lead to a small parking garage. While he runs he aims his pistol backwards and fires the weapon hoping to keep the Canadian at bay.
The JTF2 Sergeant is left unscathed as all the round miss him and he continues after his target. Eventually the Israeli makes his way into the garage and draws his ka-bar and goes to lie in wait for his enemy.
He hears footsteps and sees a shadow enter the building, waiting for the Canadian to walk past him he then lunges onto the Canadian's back and stabs the Canadian in the side. Yelling in pain the JTF2 grabs the Israeli by the hands and performs a shoulder throw. The move sending the Sayeret forward and landing on his back with a loud thud.
Grunting from the impact the Israeli looks up to see the Canadian bring his knife downwards onto his face. He intercepts the attack by thrusting forward with his knife and stabs the Canadian in his forearm.
Fighting through the pain the JTF2 Sergeant reaches downward with his other hand and picks up the Sayeret Sergeant by the collar of his uniform and slams him head first into the wall.
The first hit dazes the Israeli and while he manages to break free and goes for a headbutt but his attack is deflected when the JTF2 back hands him and proceeds to headbutt him right in the nose breaking it.
Taking the opportunity the JTF2 leader quickly draws his SIG P226 and aims it into the Israeli's stomach.
Before his opponent can react the Canadian squeezes the trigger three times. The Israeli gasps in severe pain when three rounds go straight through his stomach.
With his opponent at his mercy the Canadian then takes his karambit out and thrusts it upwards. The blade going through the chin and into the bottom portion of his skull killing him.
Sayeret Matkal: 0 - Joint Task Force 2: 1
Gently setting his opponent's corpse to the ground, he pulls the karambit out and raises both it and the SIG into the air shouting ''For Canada!"

After a close and stressful back and forth battle between two elite military units. It would be the Joint Task Force 2 who redeems themselves with a total of 50.7% compared to the Sayeret Matkal's 49.3%. Their more diverse training combined with their greater operational experience worldwide allowed them to triumph. The Sayeret Matkal were close on their tails thanks to almost every weapon in their arsenal matching everything the Canadians brought to the table.
''I'm proud of my Canadian heritage. The JTF2 won because they have so much more experience operating worldwide whereas the Israelis operated only in their native Israel. The JTF2 simply put, were better prepared.'' Geoff explained proudly.
''If you've traveled farther away from home and have more experience against a more diverse group of enemies. It makes sense you win.'' Dorian added.
''The Sayeret Matkal tried to the best of their abilities. However, lack of worldwide operational experience can be a thing that leads to your downfall. Respect to both units.'' Barry concluded.
(The JTF2 Sergeant is seen walking towards the outskirts of the city. He hears a large force of vehicles coming his way. Looking up he spots Canadian ground forces advancing on the destroyed Jerusalem. Waving, he smiles as he begins running towards his comrades.)
