THE DEADLIEST WARRIOR'S DEADLIEST EDGES:

(Also, great choice Pacheco! That's actually what I would've chosen myself, or maybe Edwin Starr's War.)

Browning Hi-Power vs. Sig Sauer P226: The Browning is a pretty outdated pistol, actually, it was used in WWII. Still good, but the more modern Sig is gonna have better mechanical works and most likely will perform better in the hands of a skilled operator.

EDGE: USMC

Remington 870 vs. Mossberg 500: Both are pump-action, max. 8 rounds shotguns, and when the bullets are even, the smaller, lighter gun wins, giving the user better mobility. But both guns weight 7 pounds - wow, didn't expect that. Fine. Shotguns, even.

EVEN

H&K G36 vs. M4 Carbine: The H&K has 800 rounds per minute fired off, but the M4 maxes out at 950 rounds per minute. However, the H&K enjoys nearly 200 rounds extra effective range as well as a faster muzzle velocity. The H&K is the better gun, weapon-for-weapon (sorry below Anon, but the numbers speak for themselves).

'"EDGE: SAS''

L96A1 vs. M21 EBR: Both are effective at 800 m distance but the M21 has 10 extra rounds held per magazine and a much, much faster muzzle velocity and can hold different types of scopes, even day or night optics scopes. The M21 Enhanced Battle Rifle is the better sniper rifle here.

EDGE: USMC

UGL vs. M203: The UGL is actually a class of weapons, not a specific one (the M203 itself is a UGL), so I'm assuming the UGL the SAS would use would be the H&K AG36, so that's what I'm comparing to the M203.

The AG36 has a much slower rate of fire (single shot to the M203's 5-7 rounds fired off) and a slightly' slower muzzle velocity, making it slightly easier for the USMC to be able to dodge the grenade (you can'' dodge a grenade launcher, trust me).

EDGE: USMC

Equatorian Reflex Knife vs. KA-BAR Knife: The Equatorian has a smaller blade than the KA-BAR and when you're getting up-close and personal, size matters.

EDGE: USMC

Overall Winner: USMC

With superior weapons all around, I'm proud to cast my vote for the Americans. Sure the SAS train like crazy, but so do the USMC. And when your training is equal, guns make the difference. And when you have better guns, you have a huge advantage. USMC will win with around 537 kills in a close battle here.
