So-Pro THE WARRIOR's Edges

Long Range Edge Alamo Scouts: The M1 Garand is Semi-Automatic compared to the Lee Enfield which is a bolt action rifle. And while the Lee has more rounds then the M1 the M1 requires only one stripper clip to reload its 8 rounds compared to the Lee which requires two giving it a faster reloading capability as well. The M1 easily beats out the Lee because it's semi-automatic and has a quicker reloading speed. Also don't forget that people call this gun "The gun that won World War II" and there's a reason.

Mid Range Edge Alamo Scouts: The Sten may have more rounds then the Thompson but the Thompson fires the powerful .45 ACP Round compared to the tiny little 9mm that the Sten fires. This means it has better stopping power meaning that when you hit someone with that round they are going down and not getting back up.

Short Range Edge Alamo Scouts: This one isn't even a challenge a Semi-Automatic pistol that is known as the best pistol of the era vs.a Revovler. The Colt fires a more powerful round being the .45 ACP round and has 7 shots compared to the 6 of the Webley. More powerful rounds and more of the rounds to fire gets the Colt the edge

Machine Gun Edge Alamo Scouts: This was already tested in Deadliest Warrior Season three and here's why it gets the edge. "The edge was given to the BAR for its mechanical reliability, lighter weight, smaller recoil, and longer range." Simple as that. The Bren is heavier and can jam in the middle of Battle where the BAR is more reliable and lighter.

Explosives Edge Alamo Scouts: The Sticky Grenade may be good but it is more of a weapon for anti-tank situations and the sticky part could become a problem as then it won't have the rolling effect the Mk 2 grenade has that could cause it to get behind the enemy or roll into a cover spot. The Mk 2 is more designed for anti-personal and won't get stuck to whatever it hits. For example it could hit something like a tree or something (depending on battleground) and then by hitting this object could fall right to where the warrior is in cover and kill him where the sticky grenade would get stuck and not get the kill.

Melee Edge Even: Whenever it comes down to the Knife fightrs it's always about the warrior behind the knife for this part as he could be a well trained fighter with the knife or not.

Special Edge Alamo Scouts: Between these two weapons I think I would go with the weapon that you can actually see the enemy WITH and then fire instead of the weapon that requires a spotter and then coordinates to fire at. The Bazooka can be anywhere and everywhere where the Mortar has to be set up and requires a three person crew to use it.

Battlefield Tactics Edge Alamo Scouts: While both succeded on their missions the Scouts had theirs more planned out and were able to rescue the prisoners with only two wounded. They had their enemies distracted had backup to hold off reinforcments and were able to take and free the prisoners of the Bataan Death Camp with hardly any casualties while the Japs took 150 dead and 4 damaged tanks. The SAS did good as well but they relied mostly on speed to dodge the tanks and their mortars to deal with their foes.

The Deadliest Warriors: The Alamo Scouts: While the Special Air Service do take the edge in all but 1 X-Factor which was a tie it can't make up for the fact that the Alamo Scouts literally take all of the Weapon Edges. They just have the more better weapons that either fire a more powerful round, can reload faster, or is more mobile. Also looking at the historical stuff. The Alamo Scouts performed 106 known missions behind the Japanese lines...and never lost a SINGLE man in those missions. That has got to mean something. Especially the Raid on the Bataan Death Camp. They also take the Battlefield Tactics as their plan was more planned out and required more then just speed and stealth, they had distractions, help from Fillipino Guerilla fighters to hold of reinforcments and then save all of the prisoners with only two wounded men.
