Let's evaluate the weapons:

Long-Range: The M14 EBR & M4A1 Carbine are superior to the Dragunov & AK-74 because the first pair have less recoil. Edge goes to USMC.

Mid-Range: The Saiga shotgun has more ammo in a magazine. Edge goes to Spetsnaz.

Short-Range: Even though the Makarov has a larger caliber bullet, the M9 has more ammo in a magazine and has a larger range than the Makarov. Edge goest to USMC.

Special: The ballistic knife can fire, and you can also reload other knives into it. Edge goes to Spetsnaz.

Explosive: The RGD-5 may be a bigger grenade, but the M67 is lighter and has a larger blast radius. Edge goes to USMC.

Winner: USMC The Spetsnaz may be an elite special-ops unit, but the Marines have better weapons and usually operate in large numbers.
