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 warriors who never met in a face to face duel:
Vaas' Pirates
Appearing From: Far Cry 3
Founded: Unknown
Base of Operations: Rook Islands
Known Activities: Arms trafficking, drug manufacturing, human trafficking, murder
Current Leader: Vaas Montenegro
Black Dragon
Appearing From: Mortal Kombat series
Founded: Early 20th Century
Base of Operations: Unknown
Known Activities: Arms trafficking, racketeering, assassination, destruction of the Red Dragon
Current Leader: Kano
"This is going to be our first group battle ever and it's going to be a match up between two known and feared criminal organizations," biomedical scientist Bradley Foster started.
"These are two groups led by mad men known for their equally chaotic, unpredictable natures, factors which trickle down to their subordinates. These men lack discipline, yet make up for it in brutality. This is a battle where 'mercy' is a dirty word," trauma doctor Joseph Kaiser seconded.
"These men are criminals with no regard for the law and even less regard for their fellow man. At the same time, they are businessmen with their hands in numerous different illicit enterprises that will assure their ability to get the best weapons money can buy," computer whiz Eddie Cortez concluded.
A young Caucasian man with brown hair and wearing a blue shirt, khaki pants, and an elaborate tribal sleeve tattoo extending the length of his left arm racks the bolt of an AK-47.
Up first to represent Vaas' Pirates is the man responsible for their eventual downfall, Jason Brody.
Originally visiting the Rook Islands as part of a skydiving trip with a group of friends, Jason would be captured after landing on the pirate-infested island. Managing to escape thanks to some help from his older brother, the young man would fight his way out of captivity, free his friends and escape from the island.
"I've fought these guys first hand and I can tell you first-hand that they are no joke. These aren't just some drugged up losers – they are Grade A psychopaths who will maim, torture and kill anyone who gets in their way. The Black Dragon has no idea what they are dealing with," Jason spoke.
A middle-aged man with long brown hair tied back in a ponytail and wearing a tan blazer and sunglasses appears and picks up a D50 Desert Eagle off the table before loading a fresh clip into it.
Also representing the Pirates is C.I.A. agent Willis Huntley.
Assigned by the C.I.A. to keep tabs on the notorious slave and drug trafficker Hoyt Volker, Willis would embed himself in the island's activities and become familiarized with the business and tactics of his notorious right-hand man Vaas Montenegro.
"The C.I.A. has been looking for a way to stop Vaas and his boys for years. I highly doubt some punk rock rejects will be able to beat us to the punch," Willis scoffed.
Fueled by the lust for money, outlaws from all over the world made their way to the once tropical paradise of the Rook Islands, now having descended into a constant state of turmoil. It was under the leadership of the mentally unstable Vaas Montenegro that the Pirates would reach their zenith, becoming involved in a variety of criminal activities such as gun running, drug dealing, human trafficking, and murder.
"For far too long, the Pirates held the islands in their grip and somebody needed to do something about it," Jason spoke.
Locked in a constant struggle for control of the archipelago against the native Rakyat tribe, the Pirates' fortunes would take a turn for the worse when one determined survivor on a mission to rescue his kidnapped friends rose up to systematically take them down one by one, ending with Vaas himself. That man was Jason Brody.
"The Pirates are like animals. They rape, pillage and steal. They're not the best fighters, but they have the lack of regard for humanity that makes up for that and will allow them to go to the most extreme lengths to take down their targets," Jason concluded.
The deadly madmen terrorized the jungles of the Rook Islands with a terrifying, reliable arsenal:
Short Range: D50 Desert Eagle
Mid-Range: AK-47
Long Range: PKM Light Machine Gun
Special Weapon: Machete
Explosive Weapon: Molotov Cocktail
But how will the remorseless terrorists of the Rook Islands fare when pitted against an equally volatile criminal adversary?
A Caucasian woman with long blonde hair worn in a ponytail and clad in a dark green military outfit practices some slashing techniques with a kukri.
Sharing her knowledge of the Black Dragon, is Lt. Sonya Blade.
A member of the Earthrealm Special Forces, Blade has hunted down members of the Black Dragon for years. Having fought several of them in person, she is an expert on their weapons and tactics.
"The Black Dragon are relentless and will somehow snake their way to a win," Blade commented with an air of disgust.
We are then taken to a tall, muscular African-American male whose arms have been outfitted with bionic implants. He makes some last minute inspections over a light machine gun.
Also representing the Black Dragon is Maj. Jackson "Jax" Briggs.
A long-time Special Forces veteran, Jax has personally hunted the cell's leader Kano and successfully taken down several other high ranking members in the process.
"The Black Dragon are deranged, but they have the numbers, the resources, and the experience with operating all over the world. I doubt some drunken pirates are gonna do anything to slow them down," Jax concluded.
Starting out as a part of the secretive Red Dragon criminal syndicate, the Black Dragon was started by renegade members who had become disenchanted with the strict code of honor and stealth that pervaded their parent organization. Falling under the leadership of the ruthless Kano, the organization rose to greater heights and would eventually come into conflict with various law enforcement and military organizations all over the world, most notably Earthrealm Special Forces and even their former colleagues in the Red Dragon.
"Kano and his men massacred my entire unit, and they've killed countless others," Sonya spoke with great venom.
The Black Dragon specializes in arms trafficking, racketeering, and assassination, as well as mercenary work, having hired themselves out to the forces of Outworld. In spite of several of their top-ranking members being eliminated, the group continues to thrive in the criminal underworld.
"They have no qualms about killing whoever stands in their way. I have a feeling the Pirates will underestimate them and their boys will end up being sent back home in pieces," Jax concluded.
The Black Dragon relied upon a deadly cache financed by their illicit worldwide operations:
Short Range: CZ 75
Mid-Range: FN FAL Paratrooper
Long Range: M60E4 Light Machine Gun
Special Weapon: Kukri
Explosive Weapon: F1 Grenade
When the fighting came down to close range, both warriors had their sidearms they relied upon. Up first will be a powerful gun that could be used when taking on any threats, man or beast, the D50 Desert Eagle.
(A Pirate shoots a captured Rakyat with a point blank blast from his D50, obliterating the man's skull.)
D50 Desert Eagle
Semi-Automatic
Length: 10.6 in.
Weight: 4.2 lbs.
Cartridge: .50 Action Express
Capacity: 10 Rounds
"This gun had enough firepower to put down any threats Rook Island had to offer, whether it was the biggest beasts of the jungle, or some very pissed off Rakyat warriors," Willis explained before loading a fresh clip.
"Definitely looks like it has quite a bit of kick behind it," Eddie commented.
"In the hands of a seasoned fighter, it packs an entire case of whoop ass. When someone's hit, they don't forget it," Willis replied.
"We want to see what kind of power and accuracy the Desert Eagle has," Bradley said before motioning to a shooting range set up behind him, "We have five targets for you, one of which is a ballistics gel torso to simulate the density and viscosity of real human flesh and bone. Aside from that, we have two wooden targets and two containers of stage blood. Think you're up to the challenge?"
"Does a bear shit in the woods?" Willis asked before stepping into position.
"Alright Willis, on 3...2...1, open fire!" Bradley shouted.
Willis took aim and fired his first shot into the gel torso's gut, leaving a considerable wound behind. He set his sights a little higher and fired a round into the gel target's face, destroying its nose and leaving a gaping hole in the back of its head. With his first target incapacitated he next set his sights on the wooden target next to it and opened fire, yet his shot missed. Undeterred, he corrected himself and fired two more shots that connected before switching his aim to the nearby bottle and shattering it in one shot. He then focused on the other targets and missed his first shot on the next bottle before firing upon it again and breaking it in a spray of crimson before taking aim and firing upon the last wooden target before his gun clicked empty.
Dr. Kaiser made his way over to gel torso to examine the damage, starting with the gaping hole that was left in the torso's gut.
"Damn, I've seen some nasty bullet wounds before, but even this one manages to surprise me. The amount of energy from one shot alone was enough to turn this man's large intestine into stew. He would die right on the battlefield," he commented before observing the dummy's obliterated face, "And it would be much slower and far more painful compared to this shot right here, where you just turned this man's face into a crater."
"I should ask how you feel after firing that thing? That kick was just nasty," Eddie inquired.
"I'm not gonna lie, it's a bitch. But when you look at the killing power of this baby, it makes it worth it when you see your enemy lying in a pool of his own blood," Willis replied.
"That heavy recoil will only come back to bite your Pirate buddy in the ass afterward when he can't hit the broad side of a barn. We have a solution with less recoil and more rounds," Sonya Blade spoke.
The Black Dragons return fire with a full auto, rapid fire killer, the Czech-made CZ 75 automatic pistol.
(A Black Dragon ambushes a Special Forces operative, killing him with a full auto burst to the face and chest.)
CZ 75
Automatic
Length: 8 in.
Weight: 2 lbs.
Cartridge: 9x19mm
Capacity: 20 Rounds
"The CZ 75 has become quite a favored sidearm for the Black Dragon, and a total nightmare for Special Forces," Sonya explained as she pulled out a gun of her own, "It's lightweight, has less recoil, more rounds, and it can be easily concealed. Did I also mention it's fully automatic? You think you've got one of those slimy bastards cornered and then all of a sudden you could have a chest full of 9mm rounds before you even knew what hit you."
"Well it's going to be the same test for you, Sonya. We're testing your gun's accuracy and power and we've given you one clip to make your point," Bradley explained.
"I'm on it," she said getting into position.
"Alright Sonya, on 3...2...1, open fire!"
Sonya shot the first container with relative ease before switching over to the wooden target next to it and firing a three shot burst near its center. With the first two targets dealt with, she sets her sights on the gel torso and fires a barrage that starts at its chest and travels up along its neck, leaving stage blood gushing out in a spectacular torrent. She then focused her attention and the second wooden target and managed to land all shots before taking aim at the last bottle and missing her first two shots, yet managing to shatter it before her gun clicked empty on her.
Dr. Kaiser made his way over to inspect the damage done to the gel torso.
"My only thought when I see the aftermath of this is surgical precision. You made a neat line of bullets that travels all the way up from this guy's chest and piercing his heart and lung all the way up stopping at his trachea," he explained tracing his finger along the line of ragged holes, "Your first shot to his lung alone would have been a mortal wound. Imagine that many in one split second flurry?"
"Not to mention we have less kick behind our gun," Sonya replied before looking over to Willis, "And more bullets means more opportunities."
"Still, that's the kind of gun poorly trained gang bangers would use, one where they will spray and pray rather hoping to hit anything, rather than going in for the kill like a trained killer," the CIA agent scoffed.
Both handguns showed off their abilities and successfully eliminated all of their targets, but where do our panelists stand?
"While the D50 unquestionably takes the edge in stopping power, the CZ 75 has more rounds and less recoil, edge CZ 75," Bradley started.
"I think a lot of people would feel tempted to side with the Desert Eagle right away given its fearsome reputation, yet the CZ 75 is lightweight, accurate and easier to conceal, along with the lighter recoil as evidenced by the shooter only missing two shots, edge CZ 75," Eddie seconded.
"I too was tempted to side with the Desert Eagle given its famous stopping power, but its extra bullets, its ability to go full auto and its surgical precision just one me over. Edge CZ 75," Dr. Kaiser concluded.
In short range weapons, the Black Dragons take the edge with the CZ 75.
Coming up, it's a battle between two assault rifles that faced off against each other during the Cold War.
XXXXXX
The time has now come for the battle to go to mid-range and to do so, both warriors relied upon trusted assault rifles to get the job done. Up first will be the Black Dragons with a trusted assault rifle that has been used by over 90 countries, the FN FAL Paratrooper.
(A Black Dragon member takes cover as Special Forces operatives patrol a forest trail, waiting patiently for them to pass before he snipes them down with shots from his FN FAL Paratrooper.)
FN FAL Paratrooper
Semi-Automatic or Fully Automatic
Length: 39 in.
Weight: 8 lbs.
Cartridge: 7.62 x 51 mm
Clip Size: 30 Rounds
"This is a compact version of the original FN FAL design. Because of its prevalence and widespread usage among the militaries of NATO-affiliated armies during the Cold War, it's been called "The right arm of the Free World," Jax explained while displaying the rifle.
"Indeed it's a gun that has seen its share of conflict all over the world, but since the Pirates are used to fighting in a jungle terrain, we want to see the Paratrooper's performance in that kind of environment," Bradley said and then motioned towards a shooting range behind them that was obscured by a camouflage net.
"We have set up a mock jungle environment where your vision will be obscured by the net as you attempted to take down 4 moving targets. Aside from the netting, there will be intermittent explosions aimed at making things more challenging. Jax, you have 3 clips and 30 seconds to make your point," Bradley concluded.
"Four dead Pirates, coming right up," Jax said getting into position.
"Eddie, ready the attack bots!" Bradley shouted and on cue the four motorized bots started moving around, all of them wearing bandanas wrapped around their faces and spray painted with the skull and crossbones motif on their chests.
"Jax, are you ready?"
"Ready to rock!" Jax called back.
"Then on 3...2...1, open fire!"
The FN roared to life as Jax fired a burst through the net and struck one of the targets, which continued moving about on its motorized platform. He then set his sights and fired on another target, albeit missing a few shots due to his view being obstructed by the net in front of him. He still fired on in determination until an explosion kicked a cloud of dirt and dust in front of him. Knowing he was on the clock, he still managed to fire until his gun clicked empty and quickly ejected the spent magazine to insert a new one and resumed his attack. The third target would have its head, neck and chest riddled with bullets before another explosive detonated and a pillar of dirt and smoke again hampered Jax's vision, yet he shot on with determination until his second clip emptied and he reached for his final magazine. A third explosive detonated, yet Jax squeezed the trigger and more rounds tore through the final target and took off most of the top part of its skull before his gun clicked empty and Jax called out "Done!"
With the test complete, the panelists make their way over to assess the damage with Dr. Kaiser approaching the first target.
"This guy is riddled with bullets from top to bottom. His lungs are collapsed, his heart ripped open and a few rounds leaving his skull cracked like an egg from the inside. This ballistic gel is the only thing holding his head together," Dr. Kaiser said pushing the collapsed tissue up in emphasis before making his way over to the second target.
"I'm seeing the same thing with this guy as his buddy before him," the good doctor said as he carefully counted the number of visible holes, "chest, neck, head and even a few in his arms for the added pain."
"Mercy is not a word in the Black Dragon's vocabulary," Jax added as the doctor made his way over to check on the last two targets.
"It's the same thing all over again with these guys, both of them just turned into Swiss cheese, plus your last guy missing the upper part of his head," Dr. Kaiser said pulling back the strips that remained of the last dummy's skull, "Altogether you are 4 for 4," he concluded.
"Quite the shooting, don't you agree?" Eddie asked Jason, who only shrugged.
"It's passable. I'll give him that," Jason chuckled.
"Heh, keep talking surfer boy," Jax replied rolling his eyes.
"It's not like anything I haven't seen before and Vaas' Pirates had their own iconic rifle that would drop a bunch of Black Dragons before they would even knew what hit them," Jason replied.
Undeterred by the FN FAL's showing, the Pirates experts return fire with a world-renowned gun that symbolizes guerrilla warfare and insurgency, the AK-47.
(A trio of pirates ambush a group of stranded Rakyat warriors, mowing them down with precision fire from their AK-47s.)
AK-47
Semi-Automatic or Fully Automatic
Length: 35 in.
Weight: 7.7 lbs.
Cartridge: 7.62x39mm
Clip Size: 30 Rounds
"This is a gun that needs no introduction. It has been used in major conflicts all over the world since the 1950's, both by standing armies and by rebel forces and terrorist groups. It's cheap to purchase and is popular for its reliability and ruggedness. I could crawl on my belly through a mile of mud or lose this in a stream and fish it out and it would still fire afterward," Jason explained while showing off the iconic rifle.
"We've already seen what the FN could do in a simulated jungle environment, but now we want to see how the AK would perform in a more urban environment that the Dragons would be used to fighting in," Bradley said before motioning to the setup behind them designed to look like a city block, "We have brick walls, moving cars, and explosions to simulate a war zone. As it was with Jax, we are giving you 3 clips and 30 seconds to make your point."
"Something I could do in my sleep," Jason said getting into position.
"Eddie, ready the attack bots!" Bradley ordered and on cue, four new motorized attack bots started moving back and forth, these ones each having the Black Dragon insignia painted on their chests.
"Jason, are you ready?!"
"Hell yeah!" Jason shouted back.
"Then on 3...2...1, shoot 'em up!"
Jason took aim and quickly peppered the closest target with a volley of rounds, which continued until it sped behind a chest-high wall that only left it open for head shots. He went to fire another burst on the next target, only to have his vision obstructed by a detonating oil drum. It took a while for the smoke to clear before he could open fire again and shoot up the second target before his clip ran dry. He reloaded his gun and went to fire at the third target, only to be cut off by a car to pass and take most of the bullets. He wasn't deterred and allowed the car to pass before resuming and firing into the third target until his clip ran dry, having managed to blow most of its face off beforehand. With one clip left he set his sights on the last target just as another oil drum was detonated and a cloud of black smoke filled his vision. Nevertheless, Jason was determined and opened fire, managing to land several hits on the roving dummy's head, chest and stomach before his gun clicked empty.
"Done!" Jason called out.
The testing completed, Dr. Kaiser made his way over to assess the damage done to the targets, starting with the closest.
"With this guy your bullets were a little more spread out compared to the FN's, yet you riddled his chest with kill shots. Once this guy got behind the wall though, it was head shot city for him," he said picking out chunks of fake bone before making his way over to the next target, "With your second target it's the same thing, his heart is pierced and his lungs are collapsed. There's no getting up from that."
"These are some crazy bastards you deal with. You can only hope it's their bullets that kill you before Vaas decided to try some other sick shit with you," Jason added before Dr. Kaiser approached the last targets.
"With these last two guys it's almost identical. Bullets are ripping apart their heads, chests and stomachs. Altogether you are 4 for 4," the good doctor concluded.
"This test was just too close to call for me. Given these circumstances, we have prepared one more test for consideration," Bradley explained leading the experts over to a muddy patch, "Both of these guns saw action all over the globe during the Cold War and thus would have been exposed to fighting in plenty of different environments, especially in the jungles and other damp climates where you are going to be crawling through the mud, which can affect the effectiveness and usage of your guns. We want to see how well both these guns do while covered in mud and with water logged barrels. Jason, pass me your AK please," he asked.
"Go ahead. Make my day," Jason said handing the rifle over to Bradley, who proceeded to slather mud along the rifle before pouring some dirty water down the barrel. "Here you go. Jax, you're next."
Jax handed his rifle over to Bradley, who proceeded to repeat the same procedure and then handed it back to him. "Gee, thanks," the major sarcastically commented.
"Alright, here's the challenge," Bradley said motioning to a shooting range set up behind him, "You are both going to attempt to shoot your guns after you have just crawled through the mud. We have three attacking soldiers coming at you and your objective is to take them out after you have just done so. Jason, you're up first."
Jason nodded and got into position. He took aim and squeezed the trigger, his rounds flying out of the barrel and striking his targets head on until his clip ran empty.
"Done!" he called back.
"Jax, you're up!" Bradley called out.
Jax nodded and took a knee. He took aim and squeezed the FN's trigger, his rounds also flying out of the barrel without a hitch until his clip ran empty.
"It's empty!" he shouted.
Both assault rifles have shown off their killing potential and their reliability under precarious conditions, but where do our panelists stand?
"This is going to be a very close match up for me. I honestly thought the AK would have had this in the bag, but the FN just keeps up all the way and I was surprised it was able to survive the mud test. I'm calling this one even," Bradley started.
"Both these guns faced off against each other during the Cold War and if the FN had been a slouch all that time, things would have been drastically different. It's too close and I'm calling this one even," Eddie seconded.
"The FN carries a stronger round, yet the AK's reliability allows it to keep up. I'm an even vote as well," Dr. Kaiser concluded.
In mid-ranged weapons, our warriors are even.
Coming up, the battle goes to long range as two Cold War machine guns are put to the test. Later, the battle goes to close combat as two deadly blades cut through the obstacles in their path.
XXXXXX
In a battle between two dangerous criminal organizations, both would bring deadly, reliable weapons into a firefight. When things get ugly, both would have heavier guns to cut through their adversaries. Up first will be Vaas' Pirates with a Soviet-born killing machine, the PKM machine gun.
(A heavily-armored Pirate marches into a Rakyat encampment, cutting down several defenders with controlled blasts from his PKM.)
PKM
Length: 47 in.
Weight: 26.5 lbs.
Cartridge: 7.62x54Rmm
Capacity: 200 Rounds
"This is a general purpose machine gun more commonly used in most former Eastern Bloc nations," Willis said racking the gun's bolt, "It can also be used as a light anti-aircraft weapon. It's a Commie toy, but it's one of the most common machine guns in the world thanks to its low price, high durability, and all around power," he explained.
"The Pirates had large men in enough Kevlar to cover a rhino, adding to the level of intimidation for their enemies," Jason added.
"As drugged up as the Black Dragons could be, that wouldn't do a damn thing to faze them," Jax replied.
Answering the PKM's challenge is an American-made killer modified for use by the U.S. Navy, the M60E4 light machine gun.
(A Black Dragon armed with an M60E4 is shown holding off a group of Special Forces operatives who have infiltrated one of their warehouses, managing to kill two of them while exchanging gunfire with the survivors.)
M60E4
Length: 43 in.
Weight: 23 lbs.
Cartridge: 7.62x51 mm
Capacity: 100 Rounds
"This particular variant is an improvement over the original and is the primary light machine gun in some NATO countries," Jax said proudly displaying the American-made machine gun.
"And yet you bring 100 rounds less to the firefight. Tell me how that's supposed to work in your favor?" Jason chuckled.
"The Black Dragons shoot to kill, not put on a show like your Pirate friends," Jax answered.
Bradley stepped in before things could get any more heated and motioned to a shooting range set up behind them.
"Those are both some dangerous looking guns you've got there and we've set up a firing range to test the accuracy and stopping power of your long range weapons. We have 4 roving targets set up at 40 yards away, each of them with canisters of the explosive Tannerite strapped around their necks, a binary explosive that detonates upon being struck by gunfire. To make things more challenging, we have set up cinder block walls.
"You each have 100 rounds to make your case. As soon as we see each jar detonated, the test is over. Willis, you're up first. Good luck," Bradley concluded.
Willis got into a prone position and just as Eddie started up the attack bots.
"Willis, are you ready?" Bradley called out.
"Yeah!" he called back.
"Then on 3...2...1, let 'em have it!"
Willis squeezed the trigger and the gun roared to life, his bullets quickly tearing through one of the targets before it could roll behind the cinder block wall, the gun's powerful rounds punching through the hard surface and striking another target, yet no explosions. Not wanting to waste bullets, he waited for the nearest target to emerge from behind the wall and he finally struck his first explosive jar, blowing off the entire upper half of his target. He then set his sights on the second target and tore a large foam chunk off its surface before he would strike that dummy's jar and be awarded with another explosion, leaving behind a mangled husk of foam and stuffing. He fired upon the third target, but his bullets missed and instead chipped off more blocks from the wall. Undeterred by the errant flurry, he adjusted his sights and waited almost impatiently for the third target to wheel out from behind the wall and he opened fire, managing to dispatch it with a flurry of hot lead. With one target left he set his sights and fired a burst that tore through more cinder blocks before he scored his final, fatal kill shot that left his target reduced to a pile of chunks.
"Done!" Willis shouted.
"1 minute, 34 seconds," Bradley called back.
"Altogether you are 4 for 4 in terms of kills," Dr. Kaiser reported.
"And plus you still have a few extra bullets to spare," Eddie added, looking at the longer belt of disintegrating rounds.
"As much as I hate to say it, the Commies knew their guns, but I'd still rather have one of Uncle Sam's fine tools in my hands when the shit hits the fan," the CIA agent replied.
"Jax, it's your turn. Show us what the M60E4 can do," Bradley called out.
The Major nodded and lay in a prone position.
"On 3...2...1, bring the pain!" Bradley shouted.
Jax squeezed the trigger and the rounds shot out of the gun's barrel, quickly tearing through the nearest target and obliterating its head before its jar was struck and an explosion followed. He spotted his second target just as it rolled behind the cinder block wall and tried to fire through it, managing to punch some of the blocks out of the wall before he struck the second target's canister and split it in half through a fiery explosion. He set his sights on the third target and managed to fire a few shots into its stomach before his gun suddenly clicked on him.
"Jam!" Jax called out.
The Special Forces operative desperately racked the bolt and was forced to expend two unused rounds before the jam was cleared and he could resume firing. After a few tense seconds the Major was able to resume firing, striking the third target's canister and blowing it ot bits before he took aim and shot up the last target before it finally exploded.
"Done!" Jax shouted.
"1 minute, 43 seconds," Bradley called back.
"You have managed to match Willis in 4 for 4 kills against your targets. Good job," Dr. Kaiser reported.
"But your gun jammed on you. You would've been a sitting duck in a real firefight," Jason commented.
"Keep talking, surfer boy. It's not over yet," Sonya shot back.
Both guns tore through their targets in gruesome fashion, but which light machine gun do our experts find superior?
"I have to go with the PKM on this one. It proved to be the more reliable of the two guns and when fully loaded, it carries 100 more extra bullets than the E4," Bradley started.
"I have to agree. That jam is too much for me to overlook, especially in what was supposed to be a more updated version of the original M60," Dr. Kaiser seconded.
"I have to agree with the both of you here," Eddie concluded.
In long range weapons, Vaas' Pirates take the edge with the PKM light machine gun.
Coming up, both warriors cut through the competition as the battle gets up close and personal. And then later, things heat up when explosive weapons are put to the test.
Who will win in a battle between two vile criminal organizations? Stay tuned!
XXXXXXX
The time has now come for both warriors to unleash their special weapons. When it came to close quarters combat, the Black Dragon relied upon a deadly curved blade made famous by the Gurkhas, the Kukri.
(A Black Dragon ambushes a Special Forces operative who had been tracking him through the sewers, slitting his throat with the kukri.)
Kukri
Material: Steel
Length: 16-18 in.
Weight: 1-2 lbs.
Sonya is in the practice gym with the kukri in hand, gracefully twirling the curved dagger and showing off some practice slashes for the panelists.
"This is a multi-use utility tool that was made famous of the Gurkhas of Nepal, best used for chopping thanks to its heavy, forward-curving blade that can take off a man's arm in one fell swoop. It's also got a circular notch near the handle that keeps blood from dripping onto the handle. I could maintain my grip on this for a whole battle against a bunch of those assholes."
"We are going to see how this blade handles in a confrontation against multiple opponents at once," Bradley said before motioning towards a narrow walkway set up in the fight club, "You are going to be attacked from both sides at once by two enemies represented by these suspended pig carcasses. Let's see what you can do."
"Gladly," Sonya said before walking over and getting into position at the center of the walkway.
"Alright Sonya, on 3...2...1, slice 'em up!"
On cue the suspended pig carcasses went zooming towards Sonya from both directions, the Special Forces agent ducking low and slashing into the stomach of the target in front of her before she delivered a mighty war scream and halted the advance of the target behind her with a roundhouse kick to its side and then she leaped into the air and brought the blade down onto the pig's neck before twirling around and slicing high on her first target, leaving a deep gash in its throat.
"That's how you do it," Sonya smirked.
Dr. Kaiser made his way over to assess the damage done, starting with the first carcass.
"Your first slice alone would have opened this guy up and left him struggling to keep his intestines – if he could even lift his hands up afterward mind you. A slow, painful delayed kill," the good doctor said before rising to examine the gash left on the target's neck, "Your second strike is a quicker kill. You've nearly decapitated this guy," he said pushing the pig's head back in emphasis, "Both shots equal kills."
He then made his way over to the second target, "With your second target it's the same thing, an instant kill with an almost decapitation."
"Quite the brutal showing we've got ourselves there," Eddie commented before looking over to Jason, "Think you'll be able to match up to that?"
"Of course. I'm bringing a longer blade and one that's much simpler to use," Jason replied.
Answering the challenge, the Pirates slice back with a simple, yet deadly cutting tool that has served as a trademark of criminal and guerrilla organizations for decades, the Machete.
(A Pirate is shown brutally torturing a strung up Rakyat prisoner, blood spraying all over his face and chest as he hacks into his hapless victim.)
Machete
Material: Steel and wood
Length: 2 ½ foot blade
Weight: 1.5 lbs.
Jason had the machete out and took a few practice swings with it before making his way over to the panelists.
"Given the tropical nature of the Rook Islands, machetes were commonplace for hacking through all the undergrowth out there, and in the case of the Pirates, anybody who crossed their path. The ones used by Vaas and his pirates were a little different from the common ones, having serrated edges on the back side of the blade, which gave it more tearing damage," he explained.
"Well it's the same test for you. You have two enemies coming at you from both sides and we want to see how deadly that thing is," Bradley spoke.
"You got it," Jason nodded before getting into position.
"Alright, on 3...2...1, attack!"
On cue the suspended pig carcasses slid down their zip lines towards Jason, who didn't even bother to wait for the one in front of him to come to a halt. He charged at it with a mighty roar and brought his blade down onto the top of its skull before he swung around and sliced into the chest of the pig behind him, then going low and slicing into its gut before bringing the serrated blade down onto the second pig's neck and slicing into it before returning his attention to the first target, driving his blade into the pig's neck and meticulously slicing away before the pig's head was completely severed.
"Oh my god," Eddie called out in disbelief, with even the others (minus Willis) looking on in shock.
"That's how Vaas and his boys did business," Jason said flicking some blood away from his blade.
Dr. Kaiser made his way over to assess the damage done to the targets, kneeling down to pick up the severed head of the first pig.
"As if this doesn't explain things enough," he said before opening the split made down the center of the pig's head, "Your first shot alone here is instant lights out. Either way he's a goner," the doctor said dropping the head before making his way over to the second target. "Your first strike at best to the chest would be a mortal wound, but its the shot to the gut that does the most damage. Again, he's struggling to leave his guts inside. Then there's the strike to the neck, another instant kill."
"I noticed the blade on this particular make of machete and with that serrated edge all you can really think of is all the additional trauma this guy would be going through. Think of what his buddies would be thinking watching him screaming in agony as that blade systematically cuts through him," Eddie commented.
"As crazy as the Dragons are, I doubt that would deter them one bit," Sonya replied shaking her head while Jax nodded in the background.
"Kano doesn't care as long as the money is coming in," Jax said in agreement.
"You really think Vaas is any different? He's batshit insane. He shows regard for no one and that's just a show of what he would do," Jason replied before continuing, "I saw worse than that all over the islands."
Both weapons proved their effectiveness as close range killers, but which blade do our panelists believe to be superior?
"This is a tough one for me. The machete may be a little longer than the kukri, but they likely have the same killing potential. I'm calling this one even," Bradley started.
"I disagree after witnessing the trauma created by the Pirate's serrated machete and am giving this one to the Pirates," Dr. Kaiser countered.
The tiebreaker would fall down to Eddie.
"I have to agree with Doc on this one. I thought this would be an even match up, yet after seeing what that machete could do, I'm at least giving a very slight edge to the machete," he concluded.
In special weapons, Vaas' Pirates take the edge with the Machete.
Coming up, an explosive conclusion as both fighters put their explosive weapons to the test.
Vaas' Pirates...The Black Dragons...who will emerge as "The Deadliest Warrior?!"
XXXXXX
The time has now come for both warriors to unleash their explosive arsenals. Up first will be Vaas' Pirates with a simple, yet lethal incendiary tool of destruction, the Molotov Cocktail.
(A Pirate is shown kneeling behind a wooden crate before pulling out a Molotov and lighting the wick, then chucking it into a Rakyat encampment and engulfing the tall grass, either igniting the native warriors or sending them scrambling.)
Molotov Cocktail
Height: Variable
Weight: Variable
Charge: Gasoline, alcohol, various flammable liquids
Jason stood with a Molotov in one hand and a lighter in the other.
"This is a simple, yet deadly improvised weapon that has long been a favorite of criminals, terrorists and rioters. This particular bomb I have here is a mixture of gasoline with some motor oil added and a 'wick' that's been soaked in alcohol," he explained.
"Once again we want to see what your explosive can do to multiple enemies and we've set up a small enclosure with three Black Dragons rushing to attack. You've got one bomb to make your point. Good luck," Bradley said.
"Get your marshmallows ready," Jason said getting into position outside the enclosure.
Jason lit the rag and with a mighty heave chucked the cocktail into the enclosure. The glass shattered upon impact and the three targets were quickly enveloped in flames before being reduced to charred husks. They were allowed to burn for a few more seconds before a team of firefighters made their way over to extinguish the blaze and the panelists were forced to wait for the all clear before they could approach.
"You just totally flame broiled all of these guys in one blast," Dr. Kaiser noted observing the charred targets from a safe distance, "If these guys were lucky, they would have quickly passed out from smoke inhalation. Otherwise, they would be subjected to a slow, agonizing death. First, they would writhe in pain as their epidermis is cracked open, then the fire would burn through their fat layer. They would only feel relief once the fire has damaged the nerves in their skin so badly they can no longer feel anything," both Bradley and Eddie grimacing in anguish at the morbid thought.
"Oh yes, you have to consider the psychological impact as well," Bradley added, "You just have to think of what their comrades would think after seeing their friends roasted alive, as well as the thought of the slow, agonizing death as Doc just mentioned."
"But it's a very one-dimensional weapon that only kills an enemy through burning them to death. With our fragmentation grenade, you can kill in more ways than one," Sonya piped in.
Undeterred by the Molotov's gruesome display, the Black Dragons answer with an explosive of their own that has seen every major conflict since World War II, the F1 Grenade.
(A Black Dragon pulls out an F1 grenade and pulls the pin before rolling it into a hallway as he is being stalked by two Special Forces operatives, killing both men in the following explosion.)
F1 Grenade
Weight: 1.5 lbs.
Filling: 2 oz. TNT
Casting: Steel
Blast Radius: 35 yds.
Sonya pulls out an F1 fragmentation grenade for the panelists to see.
"This is a Soviet-made hand grenade also known as the 'lemon' for its outer shape. It's modeled after the French F1 and is also noted for its similarities to the American MK2. It's seen every major conflict since WWII and its still used today in most Arab countries and even inspired a Chinese copy, the Type 1," she explained.
"It's the same test for you Sonya, but given your weapon's nature, we've outfitted the three targets inside with shock patches measuring both 38 and 100G. If the 38 is tripped, it means your target is disoriented, if the 100 is tripped, he's dead," Bradley explained.
"Understood," Sonya said before getting into position.
Once the panelists were at a safe distance, Sonya pulled the pin and chucked the grenade into the enclosure before running for cover. Four seconds later, the grenade detonated and the targets inside were flung about by the blast.
"Let's go take a look," Bradley said leading the panelists over to the aftermath.
"Man, this is just brutal," Eddie commented as they entered the enclosure, where fake body parts were spread around.
Dr. Kaiser made his way over and began examining the torsos of each target to check the results of their shock patches.
"With your first target here, I am seeing he bore the brunt of the flying shrapnel," he said overturning the shredded torso and showing off the bits of metal sticking out, "He's dead upon impact."
He then examined the second target, which had all of its limbs intact, yet a huge piece of wood embedded in its head, "No questions here. Plus his 100 G patch is tripped. They are both dead instantly from the shock wave."
He then made his way over to the final dummy and turned him over, "I'm seeing no shrapnel damage done to this guy, yet his 100 G patch is tripped, meaning he's been killed by the shock wave. Altogether you have 3 confirmed kills."
Both grenades have shown their lethality, but where do our panelists stand?
"For me it's the F1 all the way. The Molotov only kills through burning, whereas the F1 can kill an enemy either through shrapnel or the concussive force alone," Bradley started.
"I have to agree. While the Molotov works immediately and be good for a psychological effect upon your enemies, your targets are not always immediately incapacitated. With the F1, it can be instant lights out," Dr. Kaiser seconded.
"I agree with both of you on this one. You also have to consider the environmental factors that can effect the Molotov's usefulness, including ones that can prove dangerous to the user. Edge F1," Eddie concluded.
In explosive weapons, the Black Dragons take the edge with the F1 Grenade.
As it is with all warriors, there is a critical X-factor that makes them who they are. For Vaas' Pirates, it is their complete and utter ruthlessness.
"For years the Pirates have terrorized the Rook Islands and nobody has been able to stop them. Their sheer ruthlessness has been able to convince the locals not to get on their bad side. Only the Rakyat have been daring enough to do so and have encountered great losses for their efforts," Willis explained.
For the Black Dragons, its their amoral business acumen.
"The Black Dragon aren't just ruthless terrorists, they are also cut-throat businessmen who care about making money above all else. Whether its arms trafficking, racketeering, or murder for hire, they will go through whatever means to achieve it," Jax explained.
Coming up, it's a battle between two vicious criminal organizations to determine who will be "The Deadliest Warrior!"
XXXXXXX
With our testing completed and our X-factors evaluated, we are one step closer to determining who is "The Deadliest Warrior."
Our team has tested 5 weapons wielded by Vaas' Pirates of the Rook Islands: The D50 Desert Eagle, the AK-47 assault rifle, the PKM light machine gun, the machete and the Molotov cocktail.
On the opposing side 5 weapons were tested that have been used by the worldwide criminal organization the Black Dragon: The CZ 75 automatic pistol, the FN FAL Paratrooper assault rifle, the M60E4 light machine gun, the kukri, and the F1 fragmentation grenade.
In close range weapons, the Black Dragon's CZ 75 out shot the Pirates' D50 Desert Eagle.
EDGE: Black Dragon
In mid-ranged weapons, both the Pirates' AK-47 and the Dragon's FN FAL Paratrooper possessed the ruggedness and reliability to keep them on even footing.
EDGE: Even
In long range weapons, the Pirates' PKM light machine possessed the greater reliability over the Dragon's M60E4.
EDGE: Vaas' Pirates
In special weapons, the Pirates' machete cut down the Black Dragon's kukri.
EDGE: Vaas' Pirates
And lastly in explosive weapons, the Black Dragon's F1 grenade provided more ways to kill than the Pirates' Molotov Cocktail.
EDGE: Black Dragon
Our scientists and weapons experts are done testing. The results are in and the time has come to decide who will be the victor. The battle will be fought in a 5-on-5 squad battle between 5 of Vaas Montenegro's Pirates and 5 Black Dragons. To ensure the battle won't be decided by a single lucky blow, the battle will be simulated one thousand times in a duel to the death.
Who will win in a battle between two vile criminals?
Criminal
(Vaas' Pirates tear through a Rakyat village, gunning down defenders and villagers alike.)
vs. Criminal
(The Black Dragons fight fiercely to defend a shipment of illegal assault weapons from invading Special Forces.)
Ruthlessness
(The Black Dragons stand tall over a group of fallen Special Forces operatives, one of them shooting a survivor in the face.)
vs. Insanity
(The Pirates look on as Vaas Montenegro whispers into a captured tourists ear, just before blowing his brains out with a single shot to the head.)
"This is our first ever squad battle on 'Fictional Deadliest Warrior' and I'm excited to see what the outcome will be," Eddie said before typing in a few commands and then pressing 'ENTER.'
XXXXXX
It is a sweltering day as 5 red-clad pirates approached a jungle island aboard an RHIB (Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat), making their way towards what had once been one of their outposts. Rumors had been circulating that a new racket had been trying to establish a foothold in the Rook Islands and needless to say their leader Vaas Montenegro was none too amused. It was by his orders this particular unit had been sent to reclaim the outpost by any means necessary.
It wasn't much longer before the Pirates had reached the island and dismounted with their weapons in hand, quietly approaching the gates of the captured outpost.
Vaas' Pirates: 5
Inside the abandoned warehouse that dominated the outpost, 5 Black Dragons were hard at work prepping the facility for their gun running operations. Two Dragons were in the process of unloading a wooden crate from the back of a truck and then opening it to inspect the shipment of FN FAL assault rifles inside. Also present was another goon in the middle of cleaning his M60E4 light machine gun, while a fourth thug was doing some practice swings with his kukri as some loud rock music blared from a nearby radio.
The leader of the pack was in the office, which had now been converted into a shooting range and he was about to test out a newly-acquired CZ 75 automatic pistol upon a fresh target – a local man who had decided to try playing hero when he and the boys came to his village. It was humorous to him with how brave the punk had acted, and now here he was a pathetic whimpering wretch, tied to a support beam with a burlap sack hanging over his head.
With a dark chuckle he took aim and fired a flurry into the man's chest and stomach.
Black Dragon: 5
The Pirates could hear the loud rock music blasting from within, followed by the flurry of gunshots. The heavily-armored machine gunner took point and kicked the door open, startling the Black Dragons and without missing a beat fired a flurry from his PKM into one of the thugs inspect an assault rifle.
Vaas' Pirates: 5 – Black Dragon: 4
The rest of the Dragons raised their guns and fired upon the heavy gunner, yet his armor absorbed most of their bullets and the other Pirates quickly arrived to assist their colleague, only for one of them to immediately find himself cut down by a flurry from the Dragon's M60E4.
Vaas' Pirates: 4 – Black Dragon: 4
Nearby, the Dragon armed with the kukri had managed to avoid the initial onslaught and was now sneaking about behind some large crates, until he came across one of the Pirate assaulters shooting away at his colleagues with an AK-47. Without warning he leaped out from the shadows and brought his kukri down on the man's neck, a torrent of his blood gushing into the air.
Vaas' Pirates: 3 – Black Dragon: 4
Unfortunately, the Dragon had left himself exposed and it wasn't long before he was caught by another Pirate who dropped him with a round to the face from his Desert Eagle.
Vaas' Pirates: 3 – Black Dragon: 3
The firefight continued between the surviving members of both sides until the Dragon's M60E4 jammed and then the Pirates were able to press further in with their heavy gunner leading the way, pushing the surviving Dragons further backward until the Dragon's heavy gunner reached into his vest and pulled out an F1 grenade, pulling the pin and tossing it at the Pirate gunner's feet.
The two other Pirates noticed the fragmentation grenade and immediately dove for cover, but the heavy gunner was weighed down by his armor and the grenade's blast shredded his armor and knocked him backwards against the nearest wall.
Vaas' Pirates: 2 – Black Dragon: 3
One of the remaining Pirates reached for a Molotov cocktail strapped to his harness and pulled out a lighter, lighting the alcohol soaked rag and cackling madly.
"Have a drink!" he shouted before chucking the incendiary device towards his enemies, the glass shattering as it struck the concrete and quickly swallowing up a Dragon unfortunate enough to be nearby.
Vaas' Pirates: 2 – Black Dragon: 2
Feeling empowered and a heightened sense of blood thirst following his successful kill, the bomb throwing Pirate grabbed another Molotov and chucked it farther into the compound, sending the two remaining Dragons retreating into a nearby hallway and rushing for the back exit with the two Pirates hot on their heels.
Sensing they were nearby the lead Dragon whirled around and fired a barrage upon the pirate bomber from his CZ 75 as he made his way through the door, striking him in the arm and causing him to drop the lit Molotov he held.
The improvised explosive landed at the man's feet and he was quickly swallowed whole by flames as the additional bottles strapped to him ignited.
Even as he burned alive the mad bomber still tried to kill his enemies by running towards them, but was quickly felled in a combined flurry of FN and CZ 75 fire.
Vaas' Pirates: 1 – Black Dragon: 2
The sole remaining Pirate fell back as he watched his colleague's body continue to burn and was forced to escape out a nearby window as the flames of the earlier bombs threatened to swallow the building whole.
The surviving Dragons made their exit as the building was swallowed by further explosions and watched from a safe distance as it collapsed into a burning pile of tinder.
Kano wouldn't be thrilled, but right now they had to focus on making sure all of those bothersome Pirates had been eliminated and they nodded to each other before splitting up.
The last Pirate had barely escaped the burning building and was struggling to catch his breath. With all of his mates dead, his only hope was to get back to the boat and find some reinforcements. Vaas would sure have his head if he just ran away without trying.
The rustle of brush caught the man's attention and he quickly ducked down into the tall grass for cover. He looked up to see one of them Black Dragons with his FN FAL in hand stalking along, hunting for him.
The lone Pirate reached for the machete strapped to his side and began shadowing him as the Dragon kicked aside large fallen branches and brush in an effort to find his target, cursing bitterly to himself. It wasn't long before the invader could sense a presence behind him and he whirled around, yet the Pirate was already bringing his machete down and severing his right arm just beneath the elbow.
With an animalistic roar the Pirate brought the machete down again onto his foe and again until everything became a crimson blur and the Dragon was hacked into pieces.
Vaas' Pirates: 1 – Black Dragon: 1
The last Dragon heard the roar from a distance and rushed over to the source, only to find the severed head of his colleague.
The damned idiot went and got himself killed.
He calmed himself though, realizing this could be a trap and he looked around for any signs of those bothersome Pirates and he looked over to the tall grass to his right, seeing it appeared to have been disturbed recently. Reaching to his belt he pulled out another F1 grenade and pulled the pin before chucking it into the foliage.
On cue the last Pirate came rushing out before it could explode and was firing upon the rival gang member with his D50, the Dragon feeling the heat of the bullets zooming past him. He raised the CZ 75 and returned fire in a back and forth struggle that saw both men taking cover behind tall trees, with the Pirate firing until his gun clicked empty and he was forced to fish through his pockets for a spare clip.
The Dragon crept out from behind the pock marked tree he used for cover and fired another burst at the Pirate when he was able to spot the man's arm sticking out, wounding him and forcing him to drop his clip. Stinging from the fresh waves of pain, the Pirate was sent fleeing towards a smaller building that served as a pump station.
The Dragon was hot on his trail, following the tell tale trail of blood into the small building and opening fire when he thought he had spotted a shadowy figure in the distance, only for his gun to click empty.
It had been a trap set by the Pirate, who leaped out and attempted to slash him with his machete while he tried to reload. Left without a gun, the Dragon was forced to reach for his kukri just as he leaped backward in time to avoid a slash directed at his chest and he ducked beneath another before shooting his blade out and slashing into the Pirate's thigh. The Pirate screamed in pain and he rose to deliver a diagonal slash to the Pirate's back.
The Pirate braced himself against a wall, in pain and losing a lot of blood, yet refusing to back down. With a mighty roar he attempted another slash at the Dragon's head, yet the Dragon again ducked low and slashed him across the gut, leaving him coughing out a mouthful of blood.
With a harsh laugh, the Dragon leader pulled out another F1 grenade and pulled the pin.
"See you in Hell," he chuckled before shoving the grenade into a pouch on the Pirate's belt and then kicking him backwards and sending him tumbling over the nearby railing. The Pirate hit the ground with a sick crack before being blown to pieces.
Vaas' Pirates: 0 – Black Dragon: 1
The Black Dragon raised his fists into the air and shouted in victory.

Winner: Black Dragon

Machete: 9
Molotov Cocktail: 17
Total: 464
In a relatively close battle, the Black Dragon emerged victorious thanks in part to their more reliable weaponry, taking the edge in all weapons categories except for long range.
"When you look back in hindsight, the Black Dragon has had more success than Vaas' Pirates. They managed to hold off Earthrealm's Special Forces for a while, whereas the Pirates were never able to fully conquer the Rakyat and furthermore, their operations were thwarted largely in part thanks to the efforts of one man," Bradley explained.
"I can't really say it's something to feel too broken up about. Vaas and his boys were sick bastards, but in the end the worse guy won," Jason shrugged.
"The Black Dragon aren't to be messed with. They've managed to tangle with the best and walk away alive in the end. They thrive on people underestimating them and that's why they've managed to succeed like they have," Jax concluded.
(The lone Dragon stands at the island's short as two speedboats arrive and more of his colleagues step off to secure the island. The last person off the boat is a dark-haired man with a cybernetic eyepiece in place of his right eye. Kano, the leader of the Black Dragon has arrived to jump start his new operation.)
