It all ends here readers, it comes down to this. Another season finale where two elite military forces go toe-to-toe for the title of Deadliest Warrior. There's nothing more for me to say other than I'd like to thank the DW Panel of DeadAliveManiac, Zivon96, MKDemigodZ-Warrior and Metal Harbinger for their hard work and contribution. Let's get this show on the road. And I know I said I'll put this up on Thanksgiving, but I decided to have it up sooner for Veteran's day.

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 fight between two military forces who fight their country's most dangerous battles.
Green Berets
Founded: 1952
Circa: 2010
Height: 6'1''
Weight: 180 lbs.
Force Size: 5,000
Role: Counter-insurgency, Unconventional Warfare
French Foreign Legion
Founded: 1831
Circa: 2010
Height: 5'10''

Force Size: 7,700
Role: Foreign Infantry, Foreign Airborne Troopers
The panel enter the fight club and proceed to head into the gun locker that Rice Man had built to retrieve the weapons that the two warriors in the finale used. They gather all the necessary guns before setting them on the table and they gather around it, a look of pure excitement plastered on all their faces. Once again, the team has headed out to Fort Benning, Georgia, the usual for modern military match ups to conduct their testing.
''Here it is gents, the final episode of season three and what better way to conclude it then to have the U.S. Army's elite special forces group, the Green Berets take on the real life army of expendables, the French Foreign Legion. Two very elite military units finally go head to head and it'll be a great battle to conclude such a great season, probably the best one so far in regards to modern warriors.'' Ancient weapons and historian DeadAliveManiac started with a hint of excitement.
''This is a very interesting match and I think I'll give my initial edge to the French Foreign Legion. In my opinion, I think their training is superior and will help them push themselves further to victory. If you have training which openly encourages casualties, that gives you my edge.'' Medical expert Zivon96 said explaining his opinion.
''I'm giving the edge to the Green Berets.'' Weapons geek MKDemigodZ-Warrior countered, ''They're an actual special forces group unlike the French Foreign Legion who are a light infantry force. I think the special forces level training of the Green Berets is going to be the winning tool.''
''These two are some of the hardest soldiers to ever grace the battlefields of the modern age. From the Gulf war, Kosovo, Afghanistan and their current missions against ISIS and Mali these guys are always kicking some ass. Today, we'll see who the winner will be if they confronted one another so let's begin, and no I'm not siding with anyone because I'm just a panelist whose opinion doesn't affect the outcome. On a last note some of the weapons provided for the Berets is what some of my friends who went on to join special forces have told me they've used.'' Modern warfare, tactics and weapons specialist PFC Rice Man concluded.
The panel then bows their heads in respect for Veteran's day. Long silence filling the air before they continued the episode.
"God bless the USA."
The United States Army Special Forces, or simply the Green Berets because of their distinctive service headgear are a special operations force tasked with five primary missions: unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense, special reconnaissance, direct action, and counter-terrorism.
''They have specialties in so many fields, you name it these are the guys for it because they are that diverse.'' Rice Man said.
These elite soldiers have fought in every conflict the United States has been in ever since their founding earning them their place among tier one special forces units.
''Their motto is ''De Opresso Liber, meaning to ''Liberate the oppressed'' which is something they're very good at doing. I have guys I met who are Green Berets now so I know what they can do. The French Foreign Legion has got quite a challenge coming their way.'' Rice Man explained proudly.
The elite American special forces come equipped with an arsenal that enables them to achieve their goal of liberating the oppressed.
Melee: ASEK Survival Knife System
Short Range: Beretta M9A1
Mid-Range: Mossberg 590
Long Range Assault: M4 Carbine
Long Range Sniper: M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System
Explosive: M320 Grenade Launcher Module
However, instead of combating terrorists the all American special forces take on another military unit just as, if not more legendary than them.
The origins of the FFL date back to 1831 after many failed revolutions were put down throughout Europe. Faced with scores of failed revolutionaries who needed work, France's King Louis Philippe ordered the formation of the Legion as a means of removing the disruptive elements of society and putting them to good use in fighting the enemies of France.
''These guys had criminals and social degenerates who if they served with the legion, they were given a new life and respectability in return for their service." explained Rice Man.
The Legion became legendary during their service for the Allies in World War II at the Battle of Bir Hakeim in 1942, intending to stop Hitler's advance on the North African oilfields. Their active defense defeated the German and Italian forces and helped change the outcome of World War 2 and prevented the Nazis from achieving world domination.
''Their insane training definitely brings out the warrior in the recruits who manage to pull through. When one training class graduates, you have a former group of misfits and regular civilians turned disciplined soldiers ready to kill. The Green Berets have a new challenge that'll test them to their limit there's no doubt about that.'' Rice Man finished.
The international soldiers come equipped with weapons used to defend France's worldwide interests.
Melee: Ka-Bar
Short Range: Glock 17
Mid-Range: Benelli M3T Super 90
Long Range Assault: FAMAS F1
Long Range Sniper: FR-F2
Explosive: M203 Grenade Launcher
Both units are expert melee fighters, after noticing the similarities between the Green Beret knife compared to the knife wielded by the S.E.A.L.s and how the Legion's Ka-Bar knife has already appeared in the hands of the ROK Marine Corps it doesn't take long for the panel to come to their decision.
''Looking at the ASEK and the ka-bar, they closely resemble the Ontario Mk.3 Navy and the display of the Ka-Bar is no fluke. So for that I assume we will see identical damage to a guy's body and neither really seem to carry a distinction that allows it to edge the other out. So I'll call this one even.'' DAM started off.
''I see where you are coming from DAM, the ASEK looks like a shorter version of the S.E.A.L.s Ontario Mk.3 despite the smaller size I see it causing similar amounts of trauma on the body like the Ka-Bar. Edge even.'' Zivon seconded.
''Gentlemen, I agree with you as well, even across the board, both sides are well versed in knife combat.'' Demigod added.
''The difference between these two blades though is the design and if I had to choose one over the other I'd give the ASEK the advantage. Simply put that serrated blade is gonna do a lot more damage tearing through flesh which is why I give it my edge.'' Rice Man countered.
In melee weapons, our warriors are even.
Up next, we look over the favored pistols carried by both units and then two monstrous shotguns blow the opposition away.

Both the Green Berets and the FFL used world renowned and reliable pistols when they combat terrorists up close. Since we've already tested the Beretta M9 countless times before and the Glock as well, the team compares both pistols physically and after looking over the tapes of their debut episodes.
''We've seen these pistols many times before and looking over these two, the Beretta and Glock 17 carry 15-rounds by default and have the same range, many people would tend to side with the Beretta because it does seem to be the more accurate pistol. What do you guys think?'' DAM started off, unsure of what to choose.
''I agree with you on that DAM, looking at the tests these pistols have done before I'm seeing equal performances in terms of accuracy and range and you know what? I say it comes down to the soldier wielding the weapon.'' Zivon inquired.
''If you carry nearly the same amount of rounds and fire the same cartridge, you make this even right away.'' Demigod said.
''Using these pistols in the military before I left for injuries, I will also say that these two are nearly identical in every aspect. Though I much prefer the Beretta for it's slightly better accuracy, like what you two guys have just said convinced me that to give my edge in this as even too.'' Rice Man added.
In short range weapons, both warriors are even.
Both units carried powerful shotguns to obliterate terrorists and up first will be the French Foreign Legion with their trusted semi-automatic machine of death.
FFL legionare Australian citizen Nick Hughes walks up to the panel with his shotgun in hand.
''Good morning guys, here I have the Benelli M3T Super 90. It's an Italian made semi-automatic shotgun, also a pump-action whichever you feel like using really. By default it carries 7-rounds in a tubular magazine with 1 already loaded up in the chamber so I'll be ready to kill some Green Berets.'' explained the cocky Australian man.
''And we have the perfect scenario to test out the weapon Nick, see that dude over there? That's a Taliban fighter all strapped up in a suicide bomb vest, we gave it a speaker and as he charges at you via motorized wheels, he will be yelling ''ALLAHU AKBAR!'' for added effect.'' DAM explained.
''Too bad it's not a Green Beret.'' Nick said with a smirk.
He gets into position with his Benelli all loaded up and ready.
''On 3...2...1...Taliban fighter begin your charge!'' DAM called out.
The motorized Taliban fighter begins wheeling it's way towards Nick. He raises his shotgun as the Taliban fighter begins picking up speed and Nick fires one slug through the chest of the torso blowing it out, he then repeatedly squeezes the trigger until he completely decimates the target's body to a bloody mess before his weapon clicks empty.
''Halt the Taliban fighter.'' DAM said to Zivon.
The panel then walks over to inspect the damage.
''I don't even need to put my gloves on here because the assessment here is quite obvious, you blew his entire body apart! His arms and insides flying all over the place and look at where his head used to be. I see pieces of it all over the ground here. What a messy way for this sucker to go down.'' Zivon explained.
''Yeah Zivon, I left him in that brutalized state on purpose so that every second guy that walks over and sees this guy's remains, they don't want to mess with you.'' Nick said.
''Good use of psychological warfare too, this guy is brutalized in the worst way we've ever seen on this show.'' Demigod inquired.
After reviewing the testing of the Mossberg 590 in Kommando Spezialkrafte vs. U.S. Army Rangers and after that the panel reviews the Benelli's performance in it's test before they come to their conclusion.
''The Mossberg 590 is no doubt a deadly shotgun, the Benelli however is not just pump-action it's also semi-automatic meaning in an up close confrontation it will overpower the Mossberg. So edge Benelli M3T.'' DAM said
''I second that, for the semi-automatic capabilities giving it more punishing power up close gives the Benelli my edge.'' Zivon added.
''Benelli automatically won me over for it's semi-auto nature.'' Demigod said.
''Consider this though men, the Mossberg has one more round compared to the Benelli and with that, if you carelessly expend your magazine in a few short seconds while going semi-auto, you're screwed whereas the Mossberg's pump-action will allow the Green Berets to be more accurate, precise and they would be able to have better follow up shots. Then again...I am outvoted 3 to 1 anyway so...edge Benelli M3T Super 90.'' Rice Man said reluctantly with a shrug.
In mid-range weapons, the edge goes to the French Foreign Legion for the Benelli M3T Super 90.
Coming up! Two accurate and deadly assault rifles come forth and then later things get explosive when two grenade launchers unleash their payloads.

Now both units bring out their favorite assault rifles they used to put terrorists down in a hail of gunfire. Up first will be the French Foreign Legion with the standard issue French Army assault rifle.
''The FAMAS F1 is a bullpup-styled assault rifle. It is the service rifle of the French Army infantry units. It uses 25-round detachable magazines. It has a muzzle velocity of 3,100 feet per second with a maximum effective range of 3,200 meters. Rate of fire is at 900 rounds a minute and uses 5.56x45mm NATO. Did I forget to mention the bayonet attachment too that'll allow me to stab a Green Beret in the face?'' Nick explained.
To test out the FAMAS F1, the panel has set up a killhouse scenario at the Cashtown range with 4 Taliban targets inside, the final one clothed in fatigues to represent a Taliban cell leader.
''Nick, load in your magazine and get ready by the window and get ready to go on my go.'' DAM said.
Nick gets into position by the window and looks at DAM.
''On 3...2...1...Kill them all!'' DAM yells.
Nick peeks into the window and is immediately greeted up close by a Taliban fighter and he quickly puts it down with a 3-round burst into it's chest before jamming the bayonet into it's neck then swings his rifle hitting it in the head knocking it sideways. He climbs into the window and approaches the door leading to the next room and opens it, he spots the next target and fires 6 rounds right into it's head before firing off one more into the chest.
''Really getting messy with those targets.'' Rice Man commented.
Nick breaches the the next room which contains the final two targets, he aims his rifle at the third target and fires most of his magazine into it's back before it can turn around and ''kill'' him. He then roars a battle cry as he charges towards the Taliban leader relaxing at the desk and hops the desk. Now in front of the target Nick thrusts his bayonet into the target's skull and repeatedly stabs the target in the chest before kicking it over and empties the rest of his magazine into it.''
''Jesus, time!'' Demigod called out.
''Dude, that's just brutally awesome.'' Zivon said as they walked in to the killhouse to assess the damage.
''For your first target here you got the guy in the chest with 3 rounds and two hit him in the aorta resulting in a quick bleed out killing him, but you followed up with a thrust of the bayonet straight through his neck cutting through the spinal cord also killing him. Moving over here to the second guy you fired 6 rounds right into his head blowing it apart and one to the heart killing him two times over. Onward to the target over here you emptied a total of 12 rounds into his back which would liquefy his internal organs. He's another kill added to your list Nick.''
Walking over to the last target, the panel take a quick selfie and DAM posts it on his social media before Zivon continues his evaluation.
''Here is the final target. Nick man, you ruined this guy making him look like his wife got pissed at him and just kicked his ass. You thrusted the bayonet into his skull multiple times reducing it to a bloody pulp. Need I say more guys? He's gone.''
After reviewing the testing of the C8 Carbine, HK416 and the M4A1 in previous episodes the panelists come to a brief discussion before coming to a decision.
''Looking over the testing of the HK416 from 'Delta Force vs. Joint Task Force 2', the C8 Carbine from 'Navy S.E.A.L.s vs. S.A.S.' as well as 'Los Zetas vs. Medellin Cartel', I see the M4 Carbine performing exactly the same because the latter two were made to be an improvement of the M4 family. I like it but I think I have to favor the FAMAS F1's bullpup design which means it would be a bit easier to use indoors. That plus it's deadly use with the bayonet gives the FAMAS the extra function as a spear.'' DAM began speaking.
''I disagree and give it to the M4 Carbine. It also was designed to be used as a close quarter weapon and it has a maximum range of 3,600 meters which is what? 400 more than the FAMAS meaning that the M4 would put a man down farther which also puts you out of the range of the FAMAS. M4 Carbine has my edge. Oh, and the FAMAS is one fugly weapon, look at it, it's hideous!" Zivon countered pointing at the weapon, nearly gagging at its appearance.
''Well, I suppose but both fire the same cartridge and that just...well it makes it even for me automatically every time. Whoever shoots first wins the fight in my mind when we're talking about these kind of comparisons.'' Demigod said apprehensively.
The debate falls upon Rice Man's shoulders, imagine how much he hates settling these hissy fits.
The panelist takes both weapons and loads in the magazines before taking aim with them. Taking the magazines out he then sets them down on the table.
''Gentlemen, I see where you both come from. The FAMAS F1 and M4 Carbine are both well tailored for CQB and engaging targets at farther distances. The FAMAS has a 25-round magazine compared to the M4's 30-round magazine. They both have a maximum firing range of over 3,000 meters. They both fire the same cartridge so you know what gents? I call this even. It falls down to the discipline of each soldier wielding these weapon systems and both feel really good to aim and shoot with. Though the bayonet is a nice addition.''
In long range assault rifles, the edge is dead even.
Coming up, both units unveil their snipers used to blow holes in terrorist skulls and then later two highly powerful grenade launchers come forth.

The team now test out the favored snipers our warriors used in the field. The team heads out to the Fort Benning Sniper School range.
Nick and Green Beret Staff Sergeant Jack Daniels walks over with their weapons in hand.
''Hey guys, here I have the the M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System. It is an American semi-automatic sniper rifle and designated marksman rifle that is chambered for the 7.6251mm NATO round. It weighs 15 pounds and uses 20-round detachable box magazines with a muzzle velocity of 2,570 feet per second and it's effective range is 800 meters.''
''Very good sniper isn't it?'' Rice Man said before turning to face Nick, ''And you Nick?''
''I bring you men the FR-F2, it is a French made bolt-action sniper rifle that uses the same rounds as Daniels's SASS. It has an effective range of 800 meters, uses 10-round detachable box magazines with a muzzle velocity of 2,690 feet per second and weighs 12 pounds.''
''We have a test for you guys set up here at the top of the hill over here downrange. We've set up a Taliban outpost. 2 static insurgents, 1 patrolling target with a counter sniper somewhere in the foliage over there, lastly the target in the radio tower is the commander.'' DAM explained.
''Legionaries first pal.'' Daniels said earning a glare from Nick.
Nick goes at the designated sniper position and loads in his magazine.
''On 3...2...1...Take them out!'' DAM called out.
Nick peeks into his scope and he soon spots one of the static targets. Wasting no time he fires a round that tears through the target's neck sending blood spurts everywhere. Looking over to the second static target Nick fires his sniper but his shot was just a graze.
''Oh man, that would've been very bad in a real combat situation.'' Rice Man commented.
Undeterred, Nick adjusts his aim and this time he manages to take the target down with a round to the head blowing it to pieces earning cheers from the panel. Spotting the patrolling target he leads it for a few seconds before firing off another round which tears it's way through the target's chest blowing it out. Scanning the woodline he searches for the counter-sniper and spots a glint near some logs. Taking aim at the target he fires a round only for it to impact the surface of the log, annoyed, he aims a little higher and this time he hits the target. He looks back at the radio tower and spots the enemy commander and he wastes no time in putting it down with a round through it's neck.
''All dead!'' Nick called out raising his hand.
''Time! You finished this in 1 minute and 47 seconds.'' DAM said as they all walk downrange to evaluate the damage.
''I see one round each in the two static targets here and those rounds got them in the neck and head respectively, these are two kills. Before moving on though that graze you got on the second target would've just hurt him and alerted him to your presence and he would've hid until you finally kill him or the counter-sniper killed you Nick.'' Zivon commented.
''Still killed the guy.'' Nick replied.
''Moving on to the patrolling target you put one round through the chest and judging by the size of the round you would've torn everything inside his torso. He's another kill. For your counter-sniper over there we saw another miss but you rectified your mistake and put another round through the top of his skull blowing it clean off for another instant kill. Lastly the commander there has a round through his neck tearing everything within for a kill. All 5 dead.'' Zivon finished.
''Nick I was a bit worried when you missed those two times, considering you have a bolt-action weapon you could've been killed while you were doing moving the bolt to chamber the next round man.'' Rice Man added.
''Still though, as long as these guys are all dead, I'll be fine, I was able to quickly chamber the rounds enabling for quick and efficient shooting.'' Nick replied.
''You know Nick, they're right, regardless if you're fast working the bolt the counter-sniper still would've had crucial seconds in finding you and taking you out you know.'' Daniel spoke up.
Now it's Sergeant Daniels's turn with the M110 SASS.
Daniels gets into the designated sniper position and loads his magazine.
''On 3...2...1...Kill them!'' DAM calls out.
Daniels peeks into his scope and scans the woodline for the counter-sniper, noticing it placed in a different position he spots a glint of the scope in the trees and quickly fires in the direction he sees it in. A split second later he sees the target fall out of the trees and lands with a thud.
''Damn, Green Berets are master snipers.'' Demigod commented.
''They definitely are some of the best in the Army.'' Rice Man said with a nod.
Satisfied he then moves on to the patrolling target and places the reticule on the target's nose and fires off another round which strikes a light post the target ''walked'' closer to but it ricochets and finds it's way into the target's neck. Smiling at his one in a million shot, he moves on to the two static targets and effortlessly puts them both down one round in each of their heads before finishing the commander off with a round through the chest before raising his hand up signaling he is finished.
''Completed in 1 minute and 1 second Daniels.'' DAM spoke up.
The panel make their way downrange to check the carnage.
''Sergeant it looked like you missed your counter-sniper but you really hit him straight through the scope, through his eye and then out the back of the head blowing out his entire skull contents for a kill. If you grazed him he would've fallen and probably land on the ground at an angle enough to snap his neck. Over here for the patrolling target your round tumble as seen with the mark on this light post it left behind and the ricochet caused the round to completely sever his neck.'' Zivon explained.
''Decapitation by ricocheting round, bad ass man.'' DAM said earning a nod from Daniels.
''So yeah this guy is done for. The static targets are self-explanatory, one round to the heads did their job and finally the commander took one to the chest and look here, you got him in the heart dropping him instantly.'' Zivon concluded.
''My problem with your weapon is that you have something you can just spray and pray unlike me. Mine's a bolt-action means I can take my time and be more precise.'' Nick said condescendingly.
''What happens if there were twenty people? Who am I gonna shoot?'' Daniels replied.
''There weren't twenty there were four..'' Nick interjected, pointing at the targets to prove his point.
''I just said what if, key word if smarty pants. If there were twenty people I don't have to worry about reloading as often as you because I have a larger magazine.'' Replied the Green Beret.
''I mean your technique I honestly thought sucked.'' Nick retorted.
''I would've killed twenty people, you'd kill a few before they all spot you.'' Daniels replied.
''Hey guys, we're all allies and fight the same enemy!.'' DAM said easing the situation.
After the evaluation of the performances of both snipers, which one do our experts believe takes the edge?
''I was really going to call this even the moment we were informed that snipers have the same range and fire the same cartridge.'' DAM started, ''I'm going to have to give this one to the M110 SASS based on Daniels's shooting skill alone and the extra 10-rounds in it's magazine.''
''With you there man, the FR-F2 did showcase it's accuracy and was even in terms of kills with the M110 SASS, however the SASS is packing a 20-round magazine and I did notice it has a bit less recoil which means the Green Beret wouldn't have to worry about wearing down on their shoulders and allows better follow up shots. Edge M110 SASS.'' Zivon seconded.
''You're right, a comparison like this can end up as even but the tests fall into the Green Berets' favor because they have more shots and most likely will score more hits and kills compared to the FFL.'' Demigod said.
''Here is the reason why I give the M110 SASS my edge and no it's not because I know people in the special forces. It's because the FR-F2, being bolt-action means if for example, you're leading a target into the path of your bullet and you miss, you just wasted precious seconds and while you cycle the next round the target could have made his way into cover already. With the SASS and it being semi-automatic, leading a target wouldn't be a problem because if you miss while doing a lead, you could just try again without having to chamber the next round therefore saving you seconds and keep shooting until you've hit the target meaning better target acquisition. It's just like with the USMC versus ROKMC so edge to the M110 SASS.'' Rice Man concluded.
In long range sniper rifles, the edge goes to the Green Berets for the M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System.
Coming up, we conclude weapon testing with a bang!

Now we head over to the Fort Benning M320/203 Grenade Launcher range.
''Alright Daniels, please show us the favorite explosive weapons of the Green Berets today.'' Rice Man said.
''Yes, here I have the M320 Grenade Launcher Module or just the 320. It is a single-shot 40 mm grenade launcher system to replace the M203 Grenade Launcher for the U.S. Army. It can be used either attached to an M16A2 or an M4 Carbine or even by itself. The one here is the standalone one with the stock attached. It fires the 40x46mm SR with a muzzle velocity of 76 meters per second with a maximum firing range of 400 meters. Oh yeah! It also has day and night sights.''
''Nice, here downrange right there will be a humvee containing a driver with the commander next to him. Outside the humvee we've set up 4 targets surrounding it and we want to see what this bad boy can do to them.'' DAM said pointing downrange.
Sergeant Daniels gets into position and loads one round into the 320. DAM gives him the thumbs up and he fire the round downrange in a few seconds the humvee explodes sending the 4 outside targets flying away in flames.
''Son of a dick!'' DAM called out in awe.
''Talk about Judgement day!'' Zivon shouted.
The team walk over after the Fort Benning fire fighters puts the flames out.
''The assessment here is quite obvious.'' Zivon said as they approach the wreck, ''The guys on the outside I see multiple shrapnel wounds in their bodies meaning that they would be killed, shrapnel is unpredictable and flies in every direction. The two guys in the humvee just vaporized. That's what I'm seeing, actually I don't even see any remains of the two guys!''
The team now review the testing of the M203 Grenade Launcher from 'Delta Force vs. Joint Task Force 2'. After noticing the range difference between the two weapons the team comes to a conclusion.
''This one is easy, the M320 had more range going for it and it's a high tech piece of gear with the day and night sights allowing better performance aiming in both day and night scenarios obviously.'' DAM said.
''The M320 can be used as a standalone weapon meaning better maneuverability for the Green Berets and not have to worry about the extra weight of carrying a rifle with it mounted. Edge M320 Grenade Launcher Module.'' Zivon added.
''Well I guess I can agree with you guys. Edge M320.'' Demigod spoke.
''The M320 was made to replace the M203, just that fact gives it my edge and I've shot both.'' Rice Man finished.
In explosive weapons, the edge goes to the Green Berets for the M320 Grenade Launcher Module.
Coming up! Metal Harbinger evaluates the x-factors of both units and these two units will battle it out for the first time ever.

Welcome back to the fight club, here we tested the weapons of two highly trained and lethal military units to determine who will be the deadliest warrior.
For melee weapons, both the ASEK Survival Knife and camillus were determined to be equally damaging.
''Since these two units are great knife fighters with their sheer skill in the form these two knives will be doing equal damage on your body. One as the serrated blade while the other is slightly longer.'' DAM explained.
Edge: Even
For short range weapons, the Beretta M9A1 and Glock 17 were determined to be equally effective.
''Both pistols carry fairly large magazines on them, the Beretta is slightly more accurate with its shot placements but the Glock has that reputation of being extremely reliable. Even all the way.'' Zivon said.
Edge: Even
For mid-range weapons, two extremely powerful shotguns went head-to-head but the FFL's Benelli destroyed the Mossberg 590.
''The Benelli's semi-automatic firing mode allows it to overpower anything it's pointed at regarding close quarters combat. The Mossberg is just pump-action so it is obviously overpowered.'' Demigod explained.
Edge: French Foreign Legion
For assault rifles, the M4 Carbine and FAMAS F1 were determined to be equal in every aspect.
''The M4 and FAMAS have the same cartridge, the M4 has the larger magazine and the range advantage while the FAMAS's bull-up design is superb for indoor fighting. For those pros these two weapons are equal.'' Rice Man said.
Edge: Even
For sniper rifles, the M110 SASS outshot and outperformed the FR-F2.
''The M110 has a MUCH larger magazine and is a semi-automatic weapon. The FR-F2 has the little magazine of only 5-rounds and it's bolt-action. Yeah going up against the M110 was a death wish for the F2.'' DAM explained.
Edge: Green Berets
And finally, the M320 grenade launcher proved more effective and better overall than the M203 grenade launcher.
''Since the M320 has both day and night optics to allow easy engagement of enemies at night, it basically replaced the 203 so there's that.'' Demigod concluded.
Edge: Green Berets
And now Metal Harbinger will gauge the x-factors of our warriors.
''Alright gents, let's get these x-factor evaluation done.'' Metal Harbinger said taking a seat in front of the computer.
''As usual for most matches we have training and a lot would say the edge goes to the FFL just because trainees die, well too bad so take into account the Legion isn't a special forces unit like the Green Berets. The Green Beret trains in all sorts of environments and the fact that they contain the best trained men within the Army's special forces community gives them a 94 to the FFL's 93. Not being biased, just the fact that the Green Berets are already trained soldiers and becoming a special forces soldier gives them more knowledge and advances their skills further.''
''Operational experience comes into play and both will be rated even with an 85 each because they've been all around the world fighting in different climates meeting different enemies. Both fought in Vietnam but at different time periods and also fought alongside one another in wars such as the 1990 Gulf War against Iraq to Kosovo, to fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan.''
''Next is Physicality and the Green Berets and FFL recruits go through some insanely crazy training like rucking with many pounds of gear in a ruck for miles or nonstop running with weighted packs on your backs or even the intense physical workouts they do enables them to become very fit and ensures that mere weight will not stop them from achieving their objective. Both have a 91 each.''
''Tenacity is next and both these guys are rated even with an 89 each, the Green Berets are first into a foreign land while the FFL fights France's harshest battles that would make the regular French army shiver in fear.''
''Fifth is endurance and just like physicality the intense training and workouts both do ensure they don't tire and become easily exhausted so I gave them both a 92 each and not to mention they traveled all over the globe meaning they will be used to all sorts of climates.''
''Last x-factor is discipline and I gave this to the Green Beret because those who enter the Special Forces Assessment and Selection Course are already trained and disciplined soldiers from various U.S. Army units. The FFL recruits most the time are untrained civilians from either France or internationally meaning they would've entered the legion undisciplined gives the Green Beret the edge with a 93 to the FFL's 75.''
We've now concluded the x-factors and now we will determine who wins in a battle between two elite units in the western world. Metal will set the simulator to run one-thousand times pitting 5 Green Beret special forces soldiers against 5 FFL legionares.
United States
(A graduating class of Green Berets are awarded their signature head gear by their NCOs before they all salute the American flag.)
vs. France
(FFL legionares salute the French President before they deploy for a tour to Afghanistan.)
''Who will win? The U.S. Army special forces or the international infantry of the FFL? Let's find out now.'' Metal said pressing the button.

The scene takes us to the bombed out streets of Paris, France. The government of both the U.S. and France have had hostile relations with one another and war has been ensuing between the two nations. Paving the way for a full-scale invasion for the U.S. Military are 4 Green Berets clad in full battle rattle and helmets are seen roaming the streets with weapons in hand, the fifth having taken a sniping position on the roof of a radio station providing overwatch for his team.
Green Berets: 5
Elsewhere in the ruined Louvre Palace, 4 FFL legionaries are seen discussing plans for a counter attack against the impending invasion, they are the only French forces in Paris right now and they are determined to protect the country at all costs. Their sniper on the palace balcony surveying the area for any American ground forces.
French Foreign Legion: 5
The other Green Berets slowly creep up on the FFL position and the Sergeant radios in to his sniper to take a shot.
The Green Beret sniper spots the FFL at the Louvre Palace and places the reticule on of the legionaries. He then squeezes off a round and the mercenary goes down with a bullet to the head obliterating it completely. Seeing the legionary go down the rest of the American soldiers raise up and go guns blazing on the FFL.
Green Berets: 5 - French Foreign Legion: 4
''Sacré bleu!'' The FFL Sergeant as he and his men duck for cover. Seeing the FFL go for cover the rest of the Green Berets slowly advance on their position. One of the legionaries readies an M203 grenade launcher and quickly pops out of cover and fires it at the direction of the Americans.
One of the Americans is caught in the blast and is killed when his body is flung backwards slamming against a wall shattering all his bones. The Americans jump for cover near some poles and the Sergeant orders his sniper to pin the FFL troops down so they can advance again.
Green Berets: 4 - French Foreign Legion: 4
The FFL sniper aims his FR-F2 at the Green Beret Sergeant who is taking cover behind some concrete columns, he fires off a round just as the Sergeant peeks his head out and the bullet only serves to hit him in his helmet only knocking him back.
''Sergeant!'' One of his soldiers calls out worried.
''No problem Private! Just deflected.'' He assured putting his soldier at ease.
The FFL sniper then spots a glint of the Green Beret sniper's scope in the distance and sets his sight on the unsuspecting American. Taking his time to find the right spot to place his reticule, he takes several deep breaths before squeezing off a round, after a few seconds the Green Beret sniper is taken out of the fight with a bullet going right into his left cheek.
Green Berets: 3 - French Foreign Legion: 4
The other FFL troops retreat into the palace to regroup leaving their sniper to deal with the Americans so they can radio for additional forces.
''Fuck! Specialist, ready your 320!'' The Green Beret Sergeant ordered, ''I heard the sniper shot come from the balcony up there, take him out!''
The Green Beret Specialist does what he is told and loads a round into his 320. The Sergeant then runs towards a nearby truck with hopes of drawing the sniper out, his plan succeeds as the FFL sniper takes aim at him and fires off another round and just barely misses him.
Before the sniper can get off another shot, he is instantly killed in an explosion that sends him flying off the balcony and his body falls onto the pavement below with a sickening crack.
Green Berets: 3 - French Foreign Legion: 3
The Green Berets then proceed into the palace to give chase and as soon as they enter the main foyer one of the legionaries lying in wait opens fire with his Benelli M3T and kills one of the Americans with a slug through the chest.
Green Berets: 2 - French Foreign Legion: 3
''Private no!'' The Sergeant calls out in distress.
The Green Beret Specialist then unslings his Mossberg 590 and slides into the foyer, taken by surprise the legionary opens fires at the ground only for the slug to impact the ground, just as this happens the Green Beret Sergeant aims his M4 Carbine through the open doorway and opens fires on the legionary cutting him down, the Specialist then gets up and gets off a blast from his Mossberg sending the already dead legionary flying over the counter tops.
Green Berets: 2 - French Foreign Legion: 2
Satisfied with their work, the two American soldiers go deeper into the palace and reach the main dance hall. However the legionary Sergeant and his last man open fire with their FAMAS F1 and Glock 17 respectively and the Green Beret Specialist is hit in the arm knocking him over the safety railings and onto the dance hall floors.
Ducking just in time, the Green Beret Sergeant blind fires his M4 and manages to hit the legionary corporal in the shoulder knocking him down. The FFL ducks and proceeds to quickly tend to his wounded comrade to ensure he is fine.
The Green Beret Specialist calls out to his Sergeant ''Hey, Sergeant...Just head on to the Eiffel Tower and used that flare to signal for the hammer down protocol and invasion...I can take these two on my own, you trained me well...'' The Specialist says through gritted teeth, the pain from the fall and round in him taking it's toll.
Nodding, the Green Beret Sergeant tosses him his Beretta M9 before exiting the palace.
The Green Beret picks up the pistol and checks it and sees it has a full magazine. The legionary Sergeant and his Corporal then rise after the Corporal has had his wound tended just as the American had forced himself to his feet, seeing the FFL soldiers the American opens fire on them emptying his magazine into the Corporal before firing one last round through his cheekbone.
Green Berets: 2 - French Foreign Legion: 1
The legionary Sergeant attempts to drop the American with his FAMAS but the Green Beret musters the energy to charge at him with his knife drawn and tackles him to the ground. The Green Beret mounts the legionary and quickly brings his ASEK knife down onto his face.
The Frenchman catches the blade and both struggle for a moment before the pain from the bullet in his body takes it's toll on the American giving the legionary an opening to draw his camillus and thrusts it into the American's side.
The Green Beret cries out in pain and fall over clutching his wound, he attempts to get up only to be kicked in the face and before he can fight back, the legionary brings his camillus down, however the American catches the blade.
In a test of strength, it would be the legionary who would gain the upper hand as he forces more power into his thrust and soon the camillus slowly digs it's way into the American, stabbing him in the heart.
The Green Beret gasping several times before his life drains from his body and he laid still.
Green Berets: 1 - French Foreign Legion: 1
Slowly rising up from his victory, the legionary gives one last look of pity at the corpse before dashing out of Louvre Palace. He makes his way into the area where he and his men were at the beginning of the battle and notices a French army vehicle driving off, knowing who is driving it, he hops into a nearby pickup truck and gives chase.
After a few minutes the Green Beret Sergeant arrives at the base of the Eiffel Tower and quickly ascends it via passenger lift, he takes a flare from his cargo pocket and soon he makes his way to the higher levels of the tower.
He takes the stairs that lead to the complete top of the tower. Setting his M4 Carbine aside he proceeds to activate his flare. He waves it around a couple times at a UAV seen hovering above him. As the flare goes out, he hear a something behind him and turns to see the last legionary aiming his Glock 17 at him.
Reacting quickly he jumps out the way and narrowly avoids taking a round to the head and draws his ASEK knife and quickly charges at the Frenchman. Before the Frenchman can get another shot of the American tackles him full force into the ground and proceeds to bring the blade down.
The French moves his head to the side just in time and elbows the American and shoves him off of him freeing himself from a mount. Scrambling for his Glock he attempts to aim it again only for the Green Beret to grab the gun and knocks it right out of his hand before kicking him back against the railing.
Seeing no other option the legionary draws his camillus and goes in for a flurry of swings, each swing however is either dodged or blocked by the American and the Green Beret counter attacks by feigning a thrust which prompts the Frenchman to hold his blade in front of him.
His move having worked, the Green Beret follows up with a quick grab at the legionary's arms and proceeds to wrestle the knife away from him.
Growing more desperate the legionary vainly attempts to break free from the American's grip but the Green Beret Sergeant then knees him in the stomach several times before shoving him back against the edge of the tower's rails and viciously stabs him several times in the gut.
Screaming at his ordeal, the legionary can only lay still as the American continues his vicious assault with his knife as he then stops.
Falling on his knees, the legionary holds his bleeding stomach and goes to look the American only to be grabbed by the throat and forced against the tower's railings. As his life drains from him the Green Beret brings his knife and thrusts it into the legionary's throat.
The Frenchman starts to immediately gag before coughing up blood as he slowly passes. With his opponent about to pass on, the American shoves the Frenchman over the edge of the railing and the body falls to the ground below. Peeking over the edge as a thud is heard, the victorious Green Beret sees the corpse of the legionary, laying two pieces as the height and force from the fall caused his body to pop like a water balloon and now the corpse was an utterly mangled mess.
Green Berets: 1 - French Foreign Legion: 0
Turning around and taking a few steps away from the edge, he collapses onto his knees and screams at the top of his lungs.

Following a spectacular season finale between two highly trained military forces, it would be the Green Berets who would emerge victorious. It was thanks to their more accurate M110 SASS and the range advantage of their M320 Grenade Launcher Module allowing them to remain just ahead of the competition with 56.5%. The FFL were not easy opponents as they brought a comparable assault rifle and their Benelli M3T cut down the Mossberg allowing them to remain not too far behind with 43.5%.
''What really pushed the Green Berets to victory was simple, they are an actual special forces unit and they trained to deal with missions that regular infantry aren't trained to do. The FFL may have the harsh training, but harsher doesn't always mean better. The FFL turn civilians and misfits to soldiers sure, but the Green Berets are trained from soldiers to super soldiers.''
''This was a good match up. The FFL's training was very extreme but it wasn't the same as the special forces level training the Green Berets go through meaning it would leave them more prepared to handle the stress of a combat situation that the Green Berets deal with.'' Zivon seconded.
''Well, I suppose the FFL tried but then they just couldn't stack up against a real special forces unit like the Green Berets. That level of training left them better prepared for the missions even the Legion can't handle. Simply put, they were outclassed.'' Demigod said.
''I'm quite proud the Green Berets won this fight, however I can't say that the French Foreign Legion did a good job too. If there really was one thing that the Green Berets had that the FFL didn't it would be their specialty. The Green Berets are trained to go deep behind enemy lines, conduct guerrilla warfare and even do basic infantry missions. The FFL are some hard motherfuckers but their training doesn't give them the specialization of the Green Berets. Nonetheless, it was an amazing season finale and I'd like to thank both sides for giving us an awesome battle.'' Rice Man concluded.
(The Green Beret Sergeant is seen sitting on the ground at the base of the Eiffel Tower. He hears the roaring of jets overhead and looks up to see USAF aircraft flying over. Turning his attention to his front he sees multiple Army and Marine vehicles approach. Seeing a helicopter nearby with body bags being loaded, he frowns to himself since these were men that he trained himself but he knows they will be properly taken care of and returned home, honored as heroes.)
