The Medellin Cartel, Colombia's killer drug lords who built the world's largest
cocaine empire.
Somali Pirates, Africa's deadly new breed of high seas hijackers who make
millions holding merchant ship parties.
Who is deadliest?
To find out, our world -class fighters are testing history's most lethal
weapons. Fire!
Using 21st century science, we'll see what happens when the two warriors go
to toe.
No rules, no safety, no mercy.
It's a duel to the death to decide who is the deadliest warrior.
In this high -tech fight club, we've brought together combat experts,
scientists,
and doctors to simulate the showdown between two of the world's most
criminal organizations.
The Medellin Cartel, Colombia's coke -trafficking killers who declared war on
their own country while building the world's largest drug syndicate versus
Somali pirates.
Africa's modern -day nautical marauders who make millions by stealing,
kidnapping, and killing.
Biomedical engineer Jeff Damelin will collect the combat data.
Spent some time training with the Canadian Armed Forces. It'll give me a
insight to the training and the weapons these guys are bringing to the game.
The injuries will be assessed by ER doctor Armand Dorian. I'm bringing real
information from the hospital that I see on a daily basis to these warriors. If
they get shot, are they going to be down for a while or are they going to die
instantly? Computer specialist Max Geiger will enter the results of each
into a program designed to reproduce combat scenarios.
Both combatants forge their mentalities, tactics, and skills out of necessity.
They know what they want, and they know how to achieve it. In the end, the two
sides will fight a battle to the death.
The winner will be the deadliest warrior.
The Medellin cartel's weapons will be wielded by...
Michael Corleone Blanco, the son of Griselda Blanco, the cartel's Florida
drug boss known as the Queen of Miami.
My mother was the number one distributor of cocaine to the United States. She's
the inventor of cocaine trafficking.
I grew up around this constant violence on a daily basis that was considered
civilized. Former Medellin cartel drug trafficker and henchman, Kenny Gallo.
Made millions doing the cartel's dirty work.
During the mid -80s, I transported cocaine and I committed violence on
the organization to preserve and protect our power.
The reason why I appear on camera, I am an FBI protected witness and I changed
my life.
The Medellin Cartel originated in the city of Medellin, Colombia in the 1970s.
It quickly became the most violent and powerful drug trafficking organization
the world.
It was run by the notorious Pablo Escobar.
Under his reign, the cartel controlled over 80 % of the global cocaine market.
At its peak, the cartel was making between $60 and $65 million a day in
Escobar used this vast wealth to control the Colombian government and law
enforcement. During Escobar's reign, his motto was plata o plomo, which means
silver or lead. In other words, you could take a bribe or you could take a
bullet.
Being on the wrong side of the cartel is a death sentence. That's a place where
you don't want to be.
But our Somali experts believe the pirates are far deadlier.
Iraq War veteran Abdi Ali.
He grew up in a Somali refugee camp and saw firsthand how poverty and violence
breed desperation.
The biggest strength of the Somali pirates is that they have absolutely
to lose and everything to gain.
Somali native.
And pirate weapons expert, Haji Yukash.
He fought in the Somali civil war.
Nobody can beat the pirates.
The Somali have been fighting forever.
They don't care who they're fighting.
Somalia sits on the far eastern tip of Africa.
A poor country.
Its people survived for generations fishing the waters off the country's
But in the 1980s, things changed.
Foreign fishing fleets coming over there and taking the livelihood of the local
fishermen. Local fishermen took up arms to protect their resources.
Then in 1991, civil war broke out.
Somalia's infrastructure was decimated.
There is no government in Somalia. It's the wild, wild west out there. Either
kill or be killed.
This perfect storm of desperation created a dangerous new breed of
Some of them are fishermen that know the sea, and some of them know about guns
because they were militiamen fighting in the streets of Somalia. When you
combine those two forces, you've got deadly guys.
The Somali pirates' treasure chest, the Gulf of Aden.
Over 21 ,000 ships carry billions of dollars of precious cargo a year through
what has become known as Pirate Alley.
On average, when they hijack a ship, they usually get between $1 .5 to $2
million.
Both combatants are motivated by money, but which one will prove deadlier?
When I think Somali pirate, I think of a guy who's grown up in violence, and
when he's around 18, he finds out real quick that an AK -47 can solve a lot of
his problems. My edge goes to Somali pirate.
Cartel are better organized, they have better funding. My edge goes to the
Colombian cartel.
To send messages to their most hated adversaries.
The cartel turned to an horrific weapon of mass destruction.
The car bomb.
A vehicle packed with enough dynamite to level a city block with a simple click
of a remote detonator.
This was the Medji drug cartel's tool in order to show the power that we had and
our complete disregard for our government and other foreign countries.
The Meiji drug cartel used it in front of the DAS building. The civilian
casualties were spread out for miles.
DAS is Columbia's equivalent to the FBI.
On December 6th, 1989, the cartel placed a bomb -filled vehicle outside the DAS
building.
It killed 52 people and injured 1 ,000 more.
What I understand from the DAS building, the cartel used over 1 ,100 pounds.
of dynamite. Now, for safety, we're going to scale that back to 40 pounds of
dynamite. It's still the biggest boom we'll have seen on this show to date.
Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it.
While this blast will be roughly 25 times smaller than the original DAS
explosion, will it still be deadly?
To measure its force, Jeff attaches shockwave patches to the targets.
This is a 100G patch.
This turns red, that guy's dead.
Michael, you ready on the trigger?
Ready to sit. Let's do this, brother.
Three, two, one, blow it!
He cut it in half, man!
Holy crap!
That's why you leave gasoline in the tank. That's amazing.
Car bomb.
That's a car bomb.
That's how you erase competition.
The explosion has left a trail of scorched earth and scattered limbs.
The rear half of the car was blasted 40 yards across the testing ground.
I've been an EMT.
I've done blast testing.
I have not seen anything like this before.
Look at the blast pattern you see here. If you just look at the ground here,
it's completely covered with shrapnel, so it's almost impossible not to get
Target closest to ground zero never had a chance.
Red is dead, and I don't think we need to talk about that.
Major neck wound.
This is horrible. It's horrendous. You see these things? They're flying blades,
and they went straight through the belly here. Look at this one. This one goes
straight through the neck, right midline, right through the trachea. I
that's the perfect way to kill. But you know what that is, right? That's a wiper
blade.
But further out, another has not suffered the same fate.
Oh, not tripped.
You know what? And according to my numbers, this guy was far enough away to
be exposed to roughly 33 PSI. So eardrums knocked out, perhaps a dropped
lung, perhaps a perforated intestine.
But from the primary shockwave alone, this guy's not dead.
The odds of being hit by a car bomb like this are pretty slim because you're
going to be moving all over the place.
Well, then we'll move the vehicle. We move the target to where you are, and
we detonate it. I just move out of the way. Yeah, you got to move pretty far,
brother. If you're in the area, you're dead.
The high -speed footage reveals the tar bomb's devastating power.
Well, yeah, that's nice. That's what that is. That's nice.
Are you serious?
Oh, yeah, they're dead.
That is intense, man. I've never seen anything like that.
I mean, that's a big explosion, but in a real -world battle situation, it has no
effect against the pirates whatsoever.
How can you use that against pirates? Vaporization. The same device can be put
anywhere on your boat. Unless you want to be a suicide bomber, man, you have no
chance.
Coming up, the pirates punt back with an explosive reaction.
Who will be that deadliest warrior?
Inside our fight lab, a team of doctors, scientists, and weapons experts are
here to answer one question.
If the murderous Medellin drug cartel fought the deadly African hijackers, the
Somali pirates, who would win?
Cocaine is the goose that laid the golden egg, and the Medellin cartel
anything in its power to keep that flow of money going and going and going.
It's estimated that 27 tons of Colombian cocaine was produced in 1986 alone.
75 % of that was shipped to the United States.
They would fill up Cessnas, they'd take out all the seeds, bring it into
mainland Florida and California.
The cartel's cocaine profits would have made it the 56th richest country on the
planet.
A stark contrast to Somalia, where people lived on less than $2 a day.
The pirates... turn to their own natural resource, the heavily traveled Somali
coast.
Since there is no real navy to control the Somali coast, the main pirate gangs
join forces because they figure out how easy it was to hijack ships. The pirates
have definitely support in the local area because they bring a lot of money
the local economy.
Money is the motivating force.
Each team of warriors brings their own arsenals of deadly weapons.
The Somali pirates are packing serious heat with a PKM machine gun.
AK -47 assault rifle, grappling hook, and RPG -7.
The Medellin drug cartel will counterattack with their M60 machine
-guzzi, machete, and car bomb.
But our pirate experts don't need a set of wheels to send their message of
mayhem.
They're packing the very symbol of guerrilla fighters.
The RPG -7, a Russian -made anti -tank grenade launcher that can pierce the
steel hull of any tanker.
I came across this weapon when I was in the army in Iraq, and it's deadly.
And how would the Somalis acquire this weapon?
Somalia used to be a dumping ground for Russian arms back in the Cold War.
Anything that goes boom, you can find it in Somalia. We've got to do a trip to
Somalia.
Pirates use the RPG to threaten as well as disable target ships.
Due to homeland security restrictions, the weapon will be tested on land to see
if it can take out a tanker's command center.
Got a mock -up here of a ship's bridge, steel wall, ship's captain, and a
crew member.
You'll start 150 yards out, and we'll see what kind of damage and accuracy
warhead has.
Do it.
Are you ready?
Yes, I'm ready.
Three, two, one, rocket.
Wow.
That's crazy.
That's serious, man.
RPG -7 demolished the ship's bridge.
But was its blast big enough to kill its captain and crew?
Hey, Hodge. Nice work, man.
You know what? I don't see any frag in the backside of this guy. I want to
out this chalk pad.
And it's tripped.
He's dead.
But I don't see any frag. What do you think, Doc?
Yeah, no frag. But what we're seeing is this structure is a model of what
happens to your ear. It's a model of what happens to your lungs and your
intestines. Boom, it blows out in all directions.
Let's check out this metal wall. Look at the hole in this thing. It's a well
-shaped jar. It really is. Exactly what it had to do, hunt right through that
wall. Check this out. Look at the head, look at the head. Look at the floor.
Whoa.
Oh, guys, check this out.
The 100G patch on this guy is actually not tripped. All this means to me is
guy right there must be the luckiest bastard alive because look at his body.
They're all messed up. Let me paint a picture of what that guy is actually
seeing. A ruptured eardrum, his head starting to whirl and spin.
He's got his lungs collapsed. He can't breathe. And the only thing he does see,
body parts all over the place of his comrades.
That's pretty bad.
But not bad enough to impress the Colombians.
Do you really think this little rocket can compare to the car bomb? I can aim
it. I can reload it as many times as I like. While you're reloading, I'll kill
you from a mile away.
That car bomb was ridiculously devastating, and it was only 40 pounds
dynamite, whereas in the real case, they used 1 ,100.
The RPG, you can actually aim and do repeat fires, but the amount of
and kill that you'll get with that car bomb is just unreal.
Sure, you're going to get a lot of collateral damage, but the devastation
just going to be complete. We're talking blocks.
So I've got to give it to the car bomb.
Right. Blow sips. The edge goes to the Medellin cartel's car bomb.
The battle has just begun.
Coming up, a rapid -fire nightmare that turns any car into a death trap.
A battle between Somali pirates and the Medellin drug cartel may come down to
the last bullet.
The Somalis believe they have the advantage.
Their warriors have battle -hardened from two decades of civil war.
These guys, they come from the hardest places in Somalia. They come from the
poorest, most ravaged and violent areas.
By being there, that's training for them right there, because they're fighting
constantly. But the pirates are also well -funded.
To share in their bounty, Somali warlords and wealthy financiers invest
for newer weapons and better votes.
But the cartel believe their killers are better financed and better trained.
Medinjo cartel was trained by paramilitary groups, Israeli special
Former Israeli commandos turned rogue mercenaries were hired to train a
army of assassins, the Sicarios.
These hired killers ranged from inexperienced hitmen to highly trained
operatives. But both were responsible for thousands of murders, including
and presidential candidates.
You could hire any local sicario for a couple hundred dollars, give him a
picture and tell him, this is who I want dead, put his brains on the floor.
A popular assassination move was a motorcycle drive -by. The gun.
The mini Uzi, a nine millimeter rapid fire killer.
We have a mini Uzi, 32 round clip, fully auto, fires about 980 rounds a minute.
Preferred weapon of choice for the Medellin cartel. In Colombia, we call it
que gaguea, the one that started.
The cartel would have two guys on a motorcycle.
The passenger would be the trigger man.
So they would pull up next to a car and fire into it.
Motorcycles allowed Sicarius to navigate the busy city streets of Medellin and
make a quick getaway.
Okay, guys. In order to demonstrate the lethality of this test, we've got this
car set up.
Two mannequins inside.
Due to the extreme danger of this maneuver.
Former military operatives wearing traditional Sicario ski masks will
the test.
Now imagine this car stopped at a red light. A motorcycle can weave in and out
of traffic, pull up beside you, hit you hard, hit you fast, gone before you even
know it.
A suppressor is attached to silence the gun used by Sicario to avoid unwanted
attention.
Sicario! Are you ready?
Done deal, man. That's a done deal.
The damage is devastating.
Okay, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 shots in this guy's
head. Yeah, that's a good hit.
So 32 rounds in the cliff, half of them are in his head.
Okay, let's check out the other side.
Looks like this door has been sprayed with blood and brain.
And this guy here, look at that, one through the bridge of his nose.
Airways, spinal cord, major blood vessels. He's dead several times over.
denying the effectiveness of the Uzi, but I can do the same thing with my AK,
and it's a lot bigger bullets.
It's a too clunky, too long weapon.
With the Uzi, it's a completely different story. I got the Uzi right
coat pocket, and I'm saying, hi, excuse me, what time is it? It's time to die.
The Uzi is an excellent weapon short distances, but my AK -47 is good for
range and long distance.
AK -47.
An automatic machine gun from Cold War Russia that can take down a tub from
three football fields away.
This is the classic AK -47, the go -to gun for the Somali pirates. It shoots a
.62x39 round, shoots about 550 rounds per minute. You're also a bad guy's gun.
To assess the accuracy and killing power of the AK -47, Jeff has simulated a
true -to -life Somali assault.
Since the pirates' attack on the ocean,
Abdi will shoot at the targets from a small scale.
Got four targets set up there. Two at 50 yards, two at 100 yards. So we'll get
the range and for accuracy on a moving platform, okay?
You ready to get this going? Let's do it, baby. Okay, man.
Good luck.
Nice pass, man.
Drive by Somalifat.
The targets at the 50 -yard range have been utterly decimated.
Wow, I mean, if you take a look here, you got chest shot, chest shot, chest
shot, chest shot, chest shot.
I mean, it's just completely riddled.
all in the midsection of the body. There's no question this guy is dead.
he was inside the trauma room and he got shot, nobody could save this guy.
Let's move over to our next target. These shots here for me are the
ones. You're taking out this arm, in through the chest, out through the back.
Not only is he on a moving platform, but it's an unsteady platform. And for him
to deliver kills like this, I mean, this was literally overkill. Nice job. At 50
yards, two targets, two men down. Let's go see what you did at 100 yards.
Again, beautifully placed shots right through the midsection. One, two, three,
four. He's cracking this guy in half, and he's like literally tearing off his
love handles here.
This is without a question a kill.
Let's see what happened to number four.
There's no way you could save this guy. You're delivering it right here on the
left side, left ventricle, and the exit wounds are higher up. So you're
basically going upward like this right into the heart. That's a kill.
Four targets total, four men down. Great work, man.
That's what some other pirates do, man. These cartel guys have zero chance.
The high -speed footage reveals the ferocity of the pirates' go -to gun.
Boom, arm shot, there goes the hand.
Boom, there's a shot in the arm again.
Even though it's a mannequin's arm, with that type of a caliber weapon, if you
hit both bones, you can literally tear the guy's arm off.
Yeah, he tore up a few arms. He hit a few torsos. You can't do it as good as I
did because a gun doesn't fire as high a rate as ours.
You know what? I can do the same thing you did, but I can do it also from a
distance. Yours, you need to be up close and personal. What do you guys do with
the Uzi? You don't need technique. You don't need training. All you need to be
is called Bloody Killer.
Every one of our bullets was a killer. You were like this close from the
man. I was in a boat.
All it takes is one bullet for me to kill you.
So which medium -range weapon is deadlier?
We have seen the AK perform time and time again. It's a very versatile
My edge is going to go to the AK because every time he shot every target, he
killed them. He did it from a distance.
With the Uzi, it's all or nothing. With the AK, I think you have time and you
have distance on your side.
In medium -range weapons, the edge goes to the Somali pirate AK -47.
But this fight is not over yet.
Coming up, the Somali pirate and Medellin drug cartel.
Unleash a pair of legs beating messengers of death.
To determine who is the deadliest warrior.
Fierce Somali pilots versus the brutal Medellin drug cartel. Two of the world's
most wanted criminal organizations.
Who would win in a fight to the death?
The Somali pilots, they are fighters.
The cartel are just criminals.
Hands down, the Maginot Cartel will take out the pirates.
Our budget's a lot bigger. Our assassins are better trained.
But with two tests remaining, the deadliest warrior is still in doubt.
The cartel believes their long -range weapon will earn them their victory.
The M60 machine gun.
A blood -spattering chainsaw that could chop a body from over half a mile away.
The 7 .62 51 caliber fires 500 rounds per minute. In the 1980s, it was given
the Colombian army, and the cartels got a hold of it.
But the Somali pirates think their Soviet -made killer puts the older
M60 to shame.
The BKM machine gun, a heavy metal firearm that spits out 600 rounds of
per minute.
During the Cold War, the Russians were trying to buy influence in Somalia, and
they gave a bunch of these guns to the Somali army.
When the Somali army collapsed, the pirates got out.
The DKM has a higher rate of fire than the M60.
It shoots about 600 rounds per minute.
This head -to -head test will show who has the fastest and most accurate
gun. We'll be shooting from 100 yards out. You will each have 100 rounds of
ammunition, and you will be timed. We're going to see how long it takes you to
get four kills on our moving target, and then how long it takes you to clear
your ammunition.
Tannerite canisters have been strapped to the dummies and will explode if a
bullet strikes the neck, indicating an instant kill.
The PKM is jammed. In a real firefight, that could cost a gunner his life.
Yeah!
Nice shooting, man.
Ooh, look at this.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
15, 16, 17.
Dude, he looks like a leopard in the back. Holy mackerel. He's cut clean
the pipe.
Those rounds have some power behind them. There's no doubt about that.
One head shot.
A neck shot.
Pumping blood.
Pumping blood from the chest.
He's gone or two.
Right in the neck is what we like to see.
Exactly.
And there's the round that did it. Plus a head shot.
Plus a cheek shot.
Subclavian. Cut him out of the game. He's dead.
Fourth target?
Fourth target.
Well, we're talking neck shot, two face shots.
That's a hard shot right there. Two hard shots.
Nice shooting, bro. Another gunner, man.
Minute 43 seconds.
Four targets terminated.
Alcatel experts believe they can outgun the Somalis.
And we'll have 100 bullets to prove it. Three, two...
Jam! The M60 jams within 30 seconds.
Kenny is effectively unarmed. If these were live targets, he'd be a sitting
duck.
There we go!
And right away, another jam.
Two jams, man.
Kenny quickly clears the problem and resumes fire.
The M60 had two malfunctions, but the slaughter is undeniable.
9, 10, 11, 12, 13.
I mean, you don't need to be an EMT or a paramedic to figure out this guy's
dead.
Chest cavity gone.
Took care of business, that's all I got to say.
Wow.
Face gone.
Let's check out the fourth target.
Okay, this is where you want to hit him, man. That's the apex of the heart
there.
Airway. You know, it's bifurcating aorta.
This guy's dead.
What can I say, man? That's four kills.
We got a minute 43 seconds with the PKM.
Minute 54 with the M60.
All four kills, two jams with the M60, one jam with the PKM. They're still
At the same time, in the heat of battle, a jam represents a catastrophic failure
of the weapon.
And we saw one of those in the case of the PKM, which is worrisome, but two in
the case of the M60.
Jam!
Yeah, but our guy was a lot more accurate. Four kills against four kills.
can't argue accuracy here.
Which long -range weapon gets the edge?
One of the things that we're seeing here is a lot of consistency on the part of
our Somali experts. They're able to use things simply, quickly, efficiently.
They're getting the job done.
Two catastrophic failures versus one catastrophic failure. I've got to go
the weapon that only had one catastrophic failure. In this case, it
In long -range weapons, the edge goes to the Somali pirate PKF.
Up next.
Our other warriors get brutal with their cloak -wearing weapons.
In a showdown between Colombia's Medellin drug
cartel and Africa's Somali pirates, one violent culture
collides with another.
Somali pirates are good with their weapons because they carry their gun all
every day. They sleep with it. They tick with it.
They use it all the time.
Cartel hit men were just as quick on the trigger.
But a more savage fate lay in store for anyone who double -crossed the drug
lords. The fastest way to get on the wrong side of the cartel would be to rob
them, to steal their money.
They have to make an example out of you so that no one else will do it. In the
criminal world, if you're perceived as weak, everyone will just take a bite out
of you.
And when they wanted to send a murderous message... The cartel set aside their
high -tech machine guns and turned to a more traditional form of butchery.
The machete used for hacking sugar cane and more.
This right here is a common tool to cut through bone in Colombia. It became a
tool for the cartels to hack away at enemies for tortures, hand -to -hand
combat, intimidation.
This definitely does leave a mark. So you know when you see somebody who's
hit by a machete years later because that scar never heals.
The correct term is machetazo.
So you can say, like, look at that guy's machetazo.
You know, it's something you're going to carry with you for the rest of your
life, if you live.
To test the machete's ability to maim and kill, Jeff sets up a gel torso with
the same resistance as human flesh.
Michael, you ready?
This thing is truly the eliminator. You hack both arms off.
This hack, when you first hit, took off about the wrist.
You know, somebody would actually die from that, but it would take, you know,
about an hour. But then you moved up. When you moved up and you hit up here in
the arm, that's the brachial artery. You'll bleed out from that and die.
But then you went for the neck.
And this, by itself, would kill instantly.
But the cartel didn't stop at slashing the neck.
Their signature move was to pull the victim's tongue through the open wound
further silence would -be snitches.
There it is. Columbia necktie.
Everybody in the world knows about a Columbia necktie. This is business.
And business to us is personal. This is some savage hacking. I'm not intimidated
by this at all, buddy. When it comes to cloak range killing, the Somalis have
their own mutilator.
The rattling hook.
A steel claw used to board hips.
As well as strip human flesh straight off the bone.
In the hands of Somalians, this is a deadly weapon. I can gore you with it,
crash your skull with it, or I can swing it and create a 25 -feet radius of
death. And that looks like something you can hook a whale with. A whale or a
person. There's potential for blunt trauma there. There's definitely
for killing with these hooks.
But I'm seeing a great tool to board a ship with, not something you can kill a
man with.
Convince me.
To test the lethality of the grappling hook, our team sets up a pig carcass.
that react to punishment just like human flesh.
Honey, you ready?
I gotta check this out, man. That was sick!
Obviously, this pig or human is dead.
This sharp end with the hook is just tearing inside.
This is gruesome. There's nothing inside here that doesn't turn to mulch. That's
how we do it.
This thing looks to be a danger to whoever's using it. It looks cumbersome
unwieldy. How can you say that, man? Look at this devastation right here.
maybe in Blackbeard's time it was a great operational tool, but, I mean, a
machete's longer and much more intimidating.
So which everyday tool is most lethal?
I like the grappling hook because it does pierce through the ribs and it can
at the soft, squishy parts on the inside, but that thing is just not
kill a man.
Fundamentally, it's another knife in a gunfight.
A machete is simple and effective.
For short -range weapons, the edge goes to the Medellin Drug Cartel's machete.
Coming up, Medellin Drug Cartel, Somali Pirates, the battle begins.
Our experts have run their final test for the showdown between the Medellin
Cartel and...
and the Somali Pirates.
Now we're about to find out who is deadliest.
For explosive weapons, the Somali RPG -7 with no match for the Colombian's
massive car bomb.
You know, that car bomb was ridiculously devastating. The amount of kills that
you'll get with that is just unreal.
Edge. Medellin drug cartel. For the long -range firefight, the cartel's M60 and
the Somali's PKM both tore that target to shreds.
While the M60 can certainly do a great deal of damage, the fact that it jams
means the PKM is my preferred dog in this fight.
Edge. Somali pirate.
In mid -range combat, the pirate's AK -47 was paired against the cartel's Mini
-U.
While the mini Uzi was nice because it's mini and it's kind of concealable, as
soon as we start dealing with a little bit of distance, the Uzi really does not
become accurate. I got to give it to the AK.
Edge, Somali pirates.
In close combat, the drug cartel's machete was pitted against a pirate's
grappling hook. There's a reason why most warrior cultures embrace the sword
not grappling hook fighting techniques.
We don't have legendary grappling hooks in the hands of legendary warriors.

Max now loads the results into a state -of -the -art computer program designed
by Slytherin Studios to determine the winner.
Max sets the computer to simulate a four -man squad -on -squad skirmish.
We've gathered all of the data, and it's all loaded into the simulator.
Let's get to it.
Over the course of a thousand battles, our Somali pirates ultimately prevailed
with 522 wins, the Medellin cartels 478.
One of the things that worked in favor of our Somali pirates was the robust and
reliable design of the PKF.
Why did the Somali pirates win?
The cartels chose weapons that were fear -based as opposed to battle -efficient.
I don't know how we lost.
Computers make a cut, but a machete does the cutting.
Of course we knew we were going to win.
The Somali pirates will fight you anywhere, on land, on sea, you name it,
will fight you.
