SAS, plain and simple they have better and more brutal training, and more operational experience. The Marine Forcr Recon are packing superior weapons no doubt. I've read all about both units and I've seen docs on the Marine Force Recon's training, and from what I can tell from what if read and seen with both..... The SAS have both more brutal and superior and more tactical training. The main goal of the Recon Marines is to scout the battle ground before the regular Marines storm it. They really only do Deep Recon. Although they do, do Direct Action and support for MAGTF (Marine Ground-Air Task Force) really a straight up fight, counter infantry, ambushing, and shit like that just isn't their role. The SAS overall have the better training to go up against another special forces unit. Plus more operational experience. Now I'm not saying the Recon Marines can't fight or nothing, I mean these guys no matter how you put it are fantastic warriors, they can do fine in a straight up fight. I'm just saying the SAS is better at it and the Recon Marines aren't built for it as much as the SAS.
