This is actually a good match up, the French Naval Commandos are heavily secretive and are commnly under-estimated. I'll dive into the gun details for starters.

Well kicking off with Knives, we can see both these knives have a metal handguard for good protection, however if you look at the KA-BAR's, it is a flat and rests on the hand unlike the Gerber's, meaning defensivley, the KA-BAR has a slight adavntage, this, is combination with the scale hand grip gives it the edge.

I think you'll find the French Naval Commandos submachine gun of choice is the SG 552 Commando - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SG_550#SG_552_Commando. However, I'll compare the UMP anyway. The UMP is only 5g diffrent in weight, meaning handling is hard to pick. However, the Vector takes the advantage with a rate of fire of 1000r/m compared to the UMP's 600r/m. The Vector finishes the kill with an effective range of 100m compared to UMP's 50m.

The M4A1 has the advantage of a lighter weight than the FAMAS, weighing in at 3.3kg. However, the FAMAS shoots back with a rate of fire of 900-1000r/m compared to the M4's 700-950r/m. The M4A1 finishes the kill with an effective range of 500m compared to the FAMAS's 300m.

The Claymore takes the edge here with it's variety of uses, the Claymore can be detonated where you want it detonated, doing the role of C-4 but alos being able to be a sensor mine and being attached to things for usage.

Both teams have 2 weapon edges, however the SEALs have the slight advantage judging how their too weapons can be used at range.

Training for these two units is very unique and different, most of the Navy SEALs traning involves scheduled training processes, this is different for the Naval Commandos, training is designed for ever going war, although this isn't the best mental training, it gives the Commandos better rapid reaction force training, however the SEALs have better for combat and pro-amphibious training.

I can't make a decision based on training thus I will go with weapons. The SEALs barley get this with their weapons be more reliable at range.

Edge: US Navy SEALs
