User blog comment:Deathblade 100/Season 2 finale: North Korean Special Operations Force vs Spetsnaz GRU/@comment-5232784-20150909000814

Its time to lay the Post-Soviet Smackdown

1. Hand to hand

Out of all the special forces in the world, the Russian Spetznaz places the most emphasis on martial arts. Although the unusual mixture of the North Korean special forces is interesting and formidable, I think the quicker reflexes and more emphasis (i.e. training) in martial arts favors the Spetznaz

EDGE: Spetznaz!

2. Close range

The Marakov and Tokarev are quite similar, but the former has larger shells. This gives it more punch.

EDGE: SPETZNAZ!

3. mid range

The AK 74 has over twice the range of the AKM and a faster rate of fire. Though it has smaller bullets (and will run out of bullets sooner due to such a fast firing rate), the greater range gives the AK 74 the edge.

EDGE: Spetznaz

4. Long range

Both of these weapons have identical stats, thus a dead even rating.

EDGE: DEAD EVEN!

5. Explosives

The RGD5 grenade has over three times the blast radius of the PMD mine, and unlike the mine, you dont have to wait for your enemy to step on it; you can throw a grenade, even accurately. And unlike the PMD, you dont run the risk of stepping on your own weapon

6. X factors

Though both are equal in training, the North Korean special forces has superiority in terrain and extremism, while the Spetznaz has superiority in experience. Though extremism might not give the North Koreans much strength here, terrain could be quite crucial to victory. Experience, however, is also crucial. Though the X factors are slightly in North Korea's favor, when you consider where it counts, these guys are quite equaled

EDGE: DEAD EVEN!

EDGE: Spetznaz!

Okay, Spetznaz has superior martial arts, short and mid range weapons, explosives, and ties the North Korean special forces in both X factors and long range weapons. The Russians have a far superiority in weaponry here, along with better experience. This will be a bloody fight, but the Russian bear has the advantage

WINNER: SPETZNAZ SINKS NORTH KOREAN SPECIAL OPS!!!!!
