First off, SEALS don't use the Kriss no one does. Secondly, I'd give them the HK416 they've begun adopting it. Thirdly I vote SEALS, let's start with who has the more brutal training, during Phase 1 of BUD/S (the toughest week of BUD/S) SEAL recruits only get FOUR hours of sleep that whole week. That week is spent in waters below zero, with HUGE waves, and mucho mucho worse stuff. French Naval Commandos get 2 Hours of sleep a night, and are kept awake by the sounds of grenades exploding. So 4 hours of sleep a week, vs 2 hours. BUD/S is three phases long after that, there's SQT (SEAL Qualification Training). SQT is a 28 week program that consists of advanced and basic SQT is an arduous 28-week program [1]  consisting of the basic and advanced skill sets required to be a SEAL. The BUD/S graduates attend a sequential course consisting of: SERE, Tactical Air Operations (Static Line/Freefall), Tactical Combat Medicine, Communications, Advanced Special Operations, Cold Weather/Mountaineering, Maritime Operations, Combat Swimmer, Tactical Ground Mobility, Land Warfare (small unit tactics, light and heavy weapons, demolitions), armed (CQD) and unarmed combatives (MMA/USA/ USMC style), Close Combat Weapons and Assaults/ Close Quarters Combat. [13]  The emphasis in SQT is in building and developing an individual operator (NCO and Officer) capable of joining a NSW Troop with minimal deviation in operational capability. The students are broken into 20 man Platoons with two 10-man squads. Each Platoon is assigned a PLT Mentor/Chief to evaluate their performance throughout the pipeline.
