Here we go again.

Melee- Army Rangers. The fighting knife, coupled with the training the US Rangers have in close combat nets them this edge easily.

Close Range- Even. The M9 has more shots, And is easier to reload than the Revolver, however, the Revolver has more power behind it, so it will kill faster. Both have their advantages, and neither is too dominant over the other.

Mid Range- Army Rangers. The M1014 is pump action, while the Auto-shotgun is, obviously, not pump action. This is good and bad, good because they can fire faster, bad because I'm fairly certain that they jam easier and tend to be harder to control. Meaning discipline is key here. The MP5 is much more reliable and is made specifically for close range battles.

Can't tell enough about the Ranger's long range weapons to make an informed opinion on them, so I'll count it as even for now.

Special- Army Rangers. Apparently, the grenade the Rangers use are fuse-lit, and take a while to detonate, making it more of a liability than a weapon. The Claymore can be used to set up ambushes, meaning it has tactical use, and is unlikely to be disarmed as it can be fairly easy to set up a Claymore to be hidden away until it's too late for the Rangers to get out of the way.

Overall- Us Rangers. They have the superior training and weapons, and the ability to adapt in any location. The Rangers have terrain knowledge and superior experience, but their unrelible weapons and lack of training keep them from winning this one.
