For the first time ever, it's a special presentation of Deadliest Warrior live.

Hi there, I'm Ciaran Elliott, and welcome to a very special live

Deadliest Warrior from the Aftermath Studios in Los Angeles.

During tonight's showdown between US Army Rangers and North Korean Special

you become part of the show.

Dr. Dory and Jeff, Mac and I will be dropping in live throughout the show

updates and analysis. And we'll respond to your questions in the aftermath. And

we will be tracking your votes on who you think will win. So vote now at

.spike .com. Mac, do you have any hints on what our audiences can expect?

Well, you've got two very deadly warriors in this, and you've got great

as well. So this is as real as deadliest warrior actually gets.

And this is a battle that could actually happen at any given time. No doubt. And

it's going to happen in the Korean Peninsula.

So it's a real battle that could happen.

This is as real as it gets. As he says, Matt, Jeff and Armand will be tweeting

during the show. So make sure to follow them on Twitter.

Armand, what is your take on this matchup as a doctor? You know, for me,

was the most intense show that we've done to date. And I can't wait to see

it plays out. Do you think it's going to be a close one?

There's no question it's going to be close. And kind of got goosebumps

the show develop as we shot it. So let's see how it actually comes together.

Absolutely. The trailers look fantastic and the show looks awesome as well. And

if you want to get in contact, tweet your questions and look out for our

posts for the chance to win awesome giveaways, including signed copies of

book, Unleash the Warrior Within.

And if that's not enough, we have a very special guest joining us tonight. He's

the expert on one of the season's upcoming Warriors. So you don't want to

this. Jeff's got a little bit of a hint. for you, Jeff.

Let's see it. Exactly. Our special guest is one of the team members that led the

hunt and capture of the man that wore this uniform.

If you recognize that uniform, you'll know who you're looking for.

Let's get to it. It's North Korean Special Ops versus U .S. Army Ranger.

Typically on Deadliest Warrior, we look at warriors that actually existed

throughout history but never met on the battlefield until we put them in our

sim. But for the first time on Deadliest Warrior, we've got two warriors that

could carry out this battle right now. The North Korean Special Operations

Forces versus the U .S. Army Rangers.

This is an incredible matchup. The North Korean Special Operations Forces keeps

challenging South Korea and the United States. It could lead to a war with the

North Koreans.

it could actually lead to world war three the north korean special

forces these are the very best of the very best that they have in north korea

because they are extremely They are fanatical in their behavior. They are

dangerous. On the other hand, the Rangers, they're the world's most elite

infantry unit. Every major engagement the U .S. has ever found itself in, the

Rangers have led the way. If North Korea actually invades South Korea, the

Rangers are going to have to step up to the plate and take on the North Korean

Special Operations Force. I'm also excited about this matchup. Both of

guys are pushing their body to the limits. They're very closely matched up

It's going to be real interesting to see. That's why I think this is the most

relevant matchup, perhaps, in Deadliest Warrior history. because this could

actually happen.

North Korean Special Operations Force, the SOF, extremist super commanders

poised to launch a communist invasion of South Korea versus the U .S. Army

Rangers, America's premier light infantry division, who would lead

massive counterattack.

These two elite special ops forces face off to decide who will win an all -out

war that could erupt at any moment.

In. Deadly.

This groundbreaking data will be paired with historical research and entered

into an all -new digital combat engine.

Two legendary combatants will be resurrected.

History will be rewritten. But only one will be crowned deadliest warrior.

Welcome to the Fight Club.

Here our experts match critical weapons data with the latest military

intelligence to determine which of these highly trained special ops divisions is

deadly. The fierce and fanatical North Korean Special Operations Forces, the

SOF, who spearhead the military of the world's most dangerous rogue nation. Or

the U .S. Army Rangers, the elite lightning strike force, always first to

battlefield when America goes to war.

When there are so many Packers, I like to start at the bare minimum, my tail of

the tape. We've got the Army Ranger. He's 5 '9". He's 24 years old, but he's

about 175 pounds.

Versus the North Korean Special Ops Forces. He's 5 '6", 3 inches shorter.

little older, 27.

They're usually about 135 pounds.

So about 40 pounds difference, that's going to be a factor if it comes down to

hand -to -hand. Doc, you couldn't be more right. When you look at this

the U .S. Army Rangers are the very best that they can get in the U .S. Army.

When they go through Ranger school, they only have one meal a day.

They have to operate all day long and all night long and have a ton of food.

of real world experience.

But with the North Korean Special Operations Force, they are taken out of

orphanages sometimes at two years old and indoctrinated into the program.

They're tough, they're hard, they're willing to put down their lives for a

unified Korea. You're absolutely right, Mac. And because these guys operate in

smaller units behind enemy lines, they keep mobile.

And when you're mobile, you got to carry light handheld weapons. So we're going

to test their go -to weapons, sniper rifles, assault rifles, and anti

mines. This battle would take place on the Korean Peninsula, so that's what

we'll plug into the sim. The digital combat engine was created by Robert

former Green Beret. Daly has designed over 30 military -based video games,

including the Deadliest Warrior game.

His latest high -tech creation will evaluate complex weapons data, plus up

100 different X -Factors.

Critical intangibles that are given values based on analysis of the

battle plans, tactics, and psychological profiles.

So the X factor of terrain has got to play huge in this matchup. For this

conflict, we know it is going to occur on the Korean Peninsula.

North Koreans obviously are going to know that territory inside and out. But

have to remember that the U .S. Army Rangers have fought everywhere. I think

really comes down to operational experience.

The Rangers have always been able to adapt and overcome any situation.

But the North Korean Special Operations Force is going to have an advantage.

Taking aim at the U .S. Rangers for North Korea, Charles Cho.

This Korean -born SWAT team commander is an expert in the small unit tactics

used by the SOS.

The North Korean Special Forces, they've got the discipline, they've got the

training, and you can't negate the fact that they are on their home peninsula.

Providing first -hand experience of the communist commando's tactics is SWAT

team member T .J. Kim.

A former South Korean Marine, Kim spent three years under the constant threat of

invasion by his radical neighbors to the north.

It was drilled into our heads that the North Korean special forces are very

trained and they're very disciplined.

Their loyalty is to the extreme.

Providing intelligence on these fearless soldiers, Tom Ring, a former U .S. Army

officer who gathered intel on the SOF while stationed in South Korea.

They're the most fearless, brutal, and fanatical soldier out there. The whole

purpose of the North Korean Special Forces is to really deliver that death

that decapitation to the South Korean government and military.

In 1953, at the end of the Korean War, the Korean Peninsula was split into

communist North Korea and democratic South Korea.

The North Koreans, they've always wanted unification, but they want it under the

iron fist of their ruler and their regime and their ways.

To achieve this goal, North Korea's maniacal leader, Kim Il -sung, formed

Special Operations Forces in the late 1960s.

Today... The SOF has grown to over 200 ,000 troops, fanatical and ready to

fight. They have conducted numerous infiltrations into the South for the

of reconnaissance, intelligence -gathering information, to create a

surprise attack on the South by sea, land, and air. The objective is to sneak

in, to take out the airfields, key nodes of transportation, communication,

wreaking havoc on the South Korean and American military.

For the past six decades, The United States has stationed thousands of troops

South Korea to protect its important economic and strategic ally.

Any attack by the North would be considered an act of war, and the U .S.

military would respond with swift and decisive force.

This could ignite a geopolitical firestorm that is going to engulf not

whole east of Asia, but draw the entire world into it.

The North Korean regime, they are not afraid to use nuclear weapons that they

may be stockpiling and will not hesitate to kill anyone within their pathway.

First to the fight, the legendary U .S. Army Rangers.

This rapid response, like infantry force, can be deployed anywhere in the

in 18 hours.

Fighting for the Rangers is current Ranger and combat expert, Tim Kennedy.

A sniper special, Kennedy served two tours of duty in the Middle East.

and was awarded the Bronze Star for Valor for his heroic actions in the Iraq

War. We don't fight fair. We have a ferociousness, a tenacity, and this

approach to battle. Killing is what Rangers do best.

Also battling for the Rangers is former Army officer and military historian John

Locke. author of four books on the U .S. Army's elite fighting force.

The U .S. Army Rangers' lineage and legacy starts before the formation of

great nation. You can go back to 1755 when outdoorsmen by the name of Robert

Rogers formed a colonial militia.

Fighting in colonial New York, the unit called Rogers Rangers.

defeated their native american adversary by adopting their unconventional

tactics setting up long -range patrols going deep into enemy territory quick

ambushes quick slice and dice and then withdrawal modern army rangers were

formed in 1942 during the second world war the mission of this light infantry

division to lead the fight and be the first boots on the battlefield.

Light infantry means that you bring a great deal of firepower to bear at one

decisive point in a very quick time.

Alerts called, you have two hours to report in, wheels up, flying off into

combat anywhere in the world.

The intent of the Rangers basically is to kick in the damn door.

Rangers have led every major U .S. conflict since World War II, including

current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

No light infantry in the world trains harder, trains better than the U .S.

Ranger. I am so happy that we are considering both historical and present

off these two warriors as far as X factors are concerned.

But to make this sim complete, we've got to get you data off the weapons. Let's

go run some tests.

If this World War III scenario were to take place, both the U .S. Army Rangers

and the North Korean SOF...

would begin by seizing and controlling high -value targets all across the

Peninsula. These seizing control tactics start with long -range firepower,

sniper rifles.

U .S. Ranger sharpshooters take aim with the SR -25, a high -capacity semi

-automatic carbine.

308 caliber. It's a semi -automatic. There's a buffer assembly reducing some

the recoil. Box -fed magazine, which has a 20 -round capacity.

I was in Afghanistan.

ambushed, overran, literally shot.

Gun saved my life, and the magazine capacity was a big factor in it. And

makes a big difference when you're talking, especially in urban

where you have a lot of targets moving around very fast. You want to acquire

those targets and deliver those rounds on there and get your buddies out of

there in one piece.

Your job will be on the top of that hill in an overwatch position, supporting a

platoon -sized unit, assaulting this high -value target.

The objective.

Overtake a simulated communications outpost defended by six enemy soldiers.

Three steady guards, a hidden sentry, and a roping commander.

Final challenge, locate and kill a camouflaged counter -snipe.

To test the SR -25's accuracy and target acquisition speed, Tim must eliminate

all six enemy targets.

As fast as possible.

The big thing to be aware of is you've got a chain link fence.

So you can't just count on one round doing the damage. You're going to have

actually make sure those targets are down before you move on. Tim, are you

ready? I'm ready.

Light them up.

That's it.

That's it.

That's it.

Going up to the sniper.

Where is that sniper?

Right there.

Great.

All targets are down. Excellent work. One minute, 48 seconds. Nice work.

Jim scores instant kills on the first five targets.

You've got an entire body that's literally cut in half and on the floor.

usually means that the round is tumbling before it hits. If you take a look at

the chain link fence, there is a link that has been hit, making that round

tumble, causing all this trauma.

You know what really surprised me was the lack of actual velocity dropped,

moving through steel length, hitting the target.

Completely agreed, Mac. But in a situation like this where it's tumbling,

going to get a much higher percentage of transfer of energy. And that's what

we're seeing here. We also now have the psychological impact here. Commander has

been taken out on the move with some great shooting. These poor guys back

don't know what to expect.

You know, and that's psychological warfare, which is an X factor we can

into the sim.

Did Tim kill that counter sniper?

Oh, you're going to love this.

It actually goes through the side of the scope here and then comes out the back

and hits the face. Definitely instant kill.

He's a counter -sniper. You know, his purpose in life is to get me. So I have

assure that I kill this guy. So I have to put some extra rounds in there to

for sure.

That's one of the biggest advantages of having a 20 -round magazine.

Absolutely. All right, Charles, what do you think?

I think it's pretty good shooting.

However, this PSO can do just as much damage, if not more.

With this heavier load, packs a bigger punch.

Next, will the North Korean sniper rifle outgun the Rangers?

Oh! And later... The showdown between two of the world's most elite modern

enemies moved into close quarters to see who would win the war of the future

today.

The Army Rangers take advantage of every single possibility that we can. We want

the numbers in our favor. We want the weapons in our favor. We want everything

in our favor so that when we go into a battle, we already know what the outcome

is going to be, and that's Ranger win.

The U .S. Army Ranger, specially trained light infantry forces, heard to fight

in international hotspots like Grenada and Panama.

...versus the North Korean Special Operations Forces, cold -blooded

hand -picked to do battle from North Korea's vast communist army.

The North Korean Special Forces training is legendary in a brutal way. They

practice martial arts a minimum of two to three hours per day. They also put on

60 to 80 -pound rucksacks full of rocks and sand and hike up these very jagged,

steep mountains.

These people train slightly better than Olympic athletes.

The Rangers by first.

testing their SR -25's accuracy and target acquisition speed.

Now, it's the North Koreans' turn to pick off the enemy with their go -to

rifle, the PSL, the workhorse weapon of communist bloc countries since the

1970s.

Standard platform of the classic Krishnikov AK -47 rifle.

They stretched out the barrel length of the gun, which can accommodate a heavy

round. It's very simple, very durable. I can throw it down the ravine, pick it

back up, and it's going to fire true.

Charles will have two 10 -round magazines to take out the six targets.

The time to beat, 1 minute, 48 seconds.

Light them up!

Nice! That wasn't good.

Heavier recoil. Man, that takes a long time.

There you go. Nice, clean shot.

Good hit.

Oh, that's a hit.

Moving on to the sniper.

Oh, that's a hit.

There you go.

All targets down.

Two minutes, seven seconds, Charles.

A little bit slower, but let's go check out your targets.

Good job, brother. All right.

Cyclops kill. This guy's moving, flailing. He's braindead, but the

pumping. That has got to send chills to the rest of the crew, so there is a next

factor of psychological warfare there. Knowing that this was their commander, I

had to make sure he was down.

The PSL matched the SR -25 kill for kill on the first five targets.

But what about the countersniper?

Okay.

Guys, take a look at this.

It's a crowning shot. You hit from the top of the head all the way through his

spine. This guy's done.

All right, Tim, what did you think, brother? He was a lot slower than I was.

of course, has a 10 -round capacity in each of his magazines, so he had to

change in between there.

You're talking about seconds that were shaven off. I'd rather rely on the PSL's

proven track record for 60 years on the field. Not only is the weapon a very

reliable weapon, you have to think about the operator.

The North Korean Special Forces, they know the terrain. It's their backyard.

There's one other factor that hasn't been talked about here. It's one thing

be able to run up and down a hill and periodically do infiltrations in and out

of South Korea. It's another thing when you've had seven conflicts since

Vietnam. Guys like this have the actual operational battlefield experience.

experience to put lead on target, and as we've seen down there, take down the

enemy. In this particular matchup, when you're talking about operational

experience and terrain, both happen to be X -Factors that we plug into the sim.

The Ranger's SR -25 and the North Korean's PSL both kill every target.

So which sniper rifle gets the edge?

For me, it's the time. One minute, 48 seconds with the SR -25 versus two

and seven seconds with the PSL. And why was that? Well, when you get that large

recoil, it's certainly going to take your sight picture off that target. It's

going to take you that extra two seconds to reacquire that sight picture, get

back on target, and set another round downrange. That is the difference for

Looking at it from a doctor's standpoint, the recoil that you get with

if I was to pick between two weapons, I'd rather have the one that has the

recoil because it's going to do less injury to my shoulder. or less long

effects. I'm a big fan of the AK functionality. You know you can take it

anywhere and it's going to do its job.

But when you're talking about surgeons on the battlefield, that SR -25 is going

to deliver that round where it needs to go when it matters most.

A long -range weapon.

Edge. U .S. Army Rangers.

When both warriors move into close quarters combat, they rely on their hand

-hand fighting skills.

Guys, I'm actually excited to see this demonstration.

Hand -to -hand combat training is absolutely critical for success on the

battlefield, because if you screw up there, you're done.

The North Koreans utilize a combination of taekwondo and hapkido.

Grandmaster Song, a former South Korean Marine and one of the world's foremost

experts, demonstrates how hapkido focuses on redirecting the force of an

opponent's attack.

Hapkido is circular motion. We use the enemy's power to kill.

The shoulder is one of the most vulnerable joints in the body. Utilizing

weakness is what we're seeing demonstrated here beautifully.

Hapkido also exploits more than 200 pressure points on the human body.

Right there, you've got your carotid artery, you've got your internal,

jugular. All of those can be pinched off, and he's actually trying to grab

tear that.

Now, you're going to demonstrate some Taekwondo for us, correct?

Absolutely. A former South Korean Marine, Jay is a 7th degree black belt.

In Taekwondo, the same deadly discipline utilized by the SOM.

Hapkido is using the opponent's energy against him.

Taekwondo is striking.

Multiple strikes to the head, to the neck, to the chest, to the groin. All of

that in a very short period of time. It's just multiple strikes and

Coming up, the Rangers counterpunch with a deadly combination of blunt force and

firepower. And last, the world's toughest commandos storm that killed

Korea's Special Operations Forces, U .S. Army Rangers. Who is deadliest?

Guys, we are back live from Los Angeles. That was some serious hand -to -hand

combat there, Mike.

You obviously got to roll with Tim there. How was that? It was great. Tim's

great guy and a great operator.

He is also an instructor for SOC P for the Rangers.

And you've got to remember, in SOC P, you've got to keep it simple. When

wearing first and second line gear, you can add additional 40 to 60 pounds worth

of weight on top of you. All that athletic stuff goes out the door. You've

to be simple, cause chaos, create space, get that weapon online, and do the

damage. The weapons with the weapon in place. Absolutely.

Now let's have a look at our live poll results and see who the viewers are

picking to win this matchup.

And the Army Rangers have it 85%.

To the North Koreans on 15. Jeff, is that entirely unexpected?

Absolutely not. This is an American show, but the North Koreans could make a

comeback. All right, keep those votes coming in. And remember, we will be

answering your questions live tonight. Plus, we have a jaw -dropping special

guest coming up in the aftermath. Stick around.

North Korea's special operations forces.

A 200 ,000 strong fanatical communist killing machine.

Trained in insurgent terror tactics developed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Versus the U .S. Army Rangers.

Elite light infantry commandos whose bravery earned six bronze stars.

The Valk in 1993's Battle of Mogadishu.

Known by millions as Black Hawk Down.

The Rangers led a mission to recover the bodies of U .S. soldiers trapped in the

wreckage of a Black Hawk helicopter.

Rangers died as a function of staying there for their comrades who were

dead. That's part of the code.

You're all in or you're all dead.

Our team of experts has analyzed the North Korean Tantan combat style. A

combination of Hapkido and Taekwondo.

The U .S. Rangers strike with lethal techniques refined over 200 years of

combat. We're using a program called SOC -P, Special Operations Combatives

Program. We're doing stuff that does instant damage that makes space for us

get back to our tools.

A decorated ranger, Tim is also a seasoned mixed martial arts fighter.

I'm coming at you from behind. What are you going to do?

The tools are the things that win the fights.

So if you give me space, I'm going to shoot you. I actually get a hold of the

weapon. What can you do? We have our headbutts, knee stomps.

Make space.

Back to our tools.

Every single thing you're doing is simple.

If I grab here, I just waste my movement. Boom.

That's devastating. Now, I'm on the ground. He's created space.

Do damage. Make space.

North Korean's combination of hapkido and taekwondo.

harnesses lightning -fast strikes and their enemies' own energy to kill.

But Seok -Pi's quick, blunt force gets the U .S. Rangers rapidly back to their

weapons. So which hand -to -hand combat style gets the edge?

When we look at Hapkido and Taekwondo, you're getting circular motions and

multiple quick strikes with a lethal blow at the very end. I have a ton of

respect for the North Koreans used at Taekwondo and Hapkido, but...

When you look at the SOC key for the U .S. Army Rangers, it's simple, it's

direct, it's incredibly effective.

Both of them got the job done. Both caused a lot of damage. For me, it's a

In hand -to -hand combat, edge, dead even.

Using our warriors' ease and control tactics, sniper rifles were tested

attacking a high -value target.

Now the teams must secure the building using their assault rifles.

North Korea's Special Operations Forces come off with their standard issue Type

68 AKM, a direct descendant of the world's most lethal semi -automatic

It's the upgraded version of the Russian AK -47.

It shoots a seven -point...

62 by 39 millimeter.

The bullet is slower, but has more stopping power.

Well, let's see what this weapon can do. Behind me here is the kill house. This

is the building you have to take.

Inside the kill house is a squad of enemy soldiers.

The kill house will test each assault rifle's damage potential, accuracy, and

overall effectiveness.

The experts will both have a 30 -round magazine to kill all six targets.

And gentlemen, you will be on the clock. Jay, you're up first with the AKM.

On three, two, one, secure the building!

Two targets down in the first room. Moving to the second room.

Nice. Got the moving target perfectly.

Here comes the third room.

Okay, I counted 13 rounds, and that's 30 seconds.

You saw this guy start to move, but you stayed disciplined, cleared the near

corner first, and then you waited until you saw this weapon before you took this

guy down. That plays into our X factor of discipline.

I think it's also very smart tactically. If a guy's back to you, it gives you

enough time to engage the guy who is facing you. And by the time he's turned,

you are already delivering rounds effectively on him. It surprised me the

of energy in that round.

Absolutely. This AKM has the stopping power.

I know that when I get two in the chest, that guy's going to go down.

I think 13 rounds for six targets is ridiculous. That's too few. We need to

sure each of those targets are absolutely, totally dead. The way that

Koreans train with this weapon, they know that two rounds per enemy is

And I still have 17 rounds.

Jay, appreciate your handiwork, but when you care to send only the best, you go

for the U .S. Army Rangers. Well, let's see what your boy Tim can do.

The U .S. Army Rangers attack with the M4, a state -of -the -art carbine

from the Vietnam War era M16.

It shoots a 5 .56 millimeter bullet. It has a 30 -round box magazine.

Collapsible stock, shorter barrel than the original version, which was the M16.

When I was in Afghanistan this last time, we did house after house looking

Taliban. It's a firefight in every single room. You just know, I have to

this guy or you don't have to shoot this guy. You don't have one second. One

second, the fight's over.

Tim will try to beat Jay's six instant kills in less than 30 seconds.

On three, two, one, secure the building!

All right, he's going to the second room.

Nice shots.

Dude, he's nailing it.

He'll be clear!

No joke.

30 seconds.

Tim adds J, kill for kill, and used more than twice as many rounds.

Let's pick up his face.

What we see here... I don't think this guy could face any worth of fate.

kill. Check out the grouping. That's like a one -inch grouping on the move,

under pressure. Amazing. This is actually called a PMI, point of maximum

impulse. Four shots in that, it doesn't get any better when you're trying to hit

the heart. Let's have a look at the high speed.

So this is Tim's M4.

This is one of the strengths of the M4 is that shot placement, how tight those

groups are. This is Jay's AKM Path.

Boom. First round of the test. I think it speaks volumes of the power of that

kinetic energy of this round. And if you saw a target do this, you're going to

move on, right? It all comes down to my comfort with my shot placement. If I see

that guy go down and how he goes down, I'm going to drop those two rounds into

that guy and move on to the next threat.

When this test was actually going to start, I look at...

The M4 and I go, wow, this thing is going to just blow my socks off. But

the AKM devastates all six targets with 13 rounds. He spent his magazine on the

M4. He did not spend his magazine with the AKM. I think that matters. To be

honest, I'd rather make sure I got that stopping power.

I'm giving my edge to the AKM. Guys, this is going to be a tough choice for

The M4 has proven itself in combat over and over and over again, clearly.

But... That AK frame has killed more human beings than any other weapon

on the planet Earth.

The medium -range weapons edge North Korean special operations force.

Coming up, shock and awe.

And later, a chilling real -life warrior showdown that could lead to World War

III.

North Korea's SOF, U .S. Army Ranger.

Who is deadliest?

The U .S. Army Rangers.

Paddle -tested soldiers on constant alert.

Specializing in quick strikes behind enemy lines.

Versus the North Korean Special Operations Forces, S .O .F. Rabbit

who gave the world a chilling glimpse of their fatal fanaticism during a 1996

covert mission into South Korea.

Things went wrong. Eleven of these North Korean commandos knew that they were

the weakest link, and they voluntarily submitted to execution by their own

comrades. These are people who value the fatherland more than they do their own

life.

Based on real -world tactical profiles, we've tested each warrior's sniper

weapon and assault rifle in seizing a high -value target in phase three of our

scenario. They will fend off counterattacks with anti -personnel

North Korea's SOF riddles the battlefield with an explosive device

The box landmine.

A high -powered killer buried by the thousands throughout the Korean

The wooden box inside with TNT, approximately seven ounces, is spring

So what they'll do is they'll bury it. Anything in the area with basically two

pounds of pressure, it's going to set the thing off. North Korea's used this

defend off small -scale attacks.

They also have this planted along the DMV. They do not care if these kill

innocent civilians.

Anyone walking in that area could step on that thing, it goes off. Definitely.

We've got three targets representing an enemy patrol.

The point man there has a ballistics gel leg that mimics both the density and

viscosity of real human tissue. So when that landmine goes off, we'll see what

kind of damage it can do. The box mine will be triggered beneath the point

foot.

To determine the effective blast radius, Two other targets equipped with 38G and

100G shot patches are placed 15 and 25 feet from the detonation point. If the

38G patch is tripped, the target is disoriented. If the 100G patch is

the target is dead.

On three, two, one, go.

Blowing stuff up is always fun. Let's go check it out.

Okay, this guy's clean.

I actually see no frag.

Clean. Nothing's tripped, no frag.

And let's take a look at these pressure patches.

38G definitely tripped. The 100G barely tripped. I find this really interesting

because this may or may not be a lethal blow depending on what else is going on

here. The guy definitely hurt from the primary shockwave. But let's take a look

at secondary.

The entire leg is amputated just above the knee.

There's the end of the femur. The amount of blood loss you're going to get from

this is huge.

This guy is still alive.

If he doesn't get help, he will die.

Landmines are not historically designed to kill someone.

They're designed to wound, to maim.

If I wound this guy, I can get two or three other guys to come out. And if

they're coming into a field, I can get them. When your buddy is screaming, you

want to go in there, but you've got thousands of mines out there. You're

helpless. Psychological warfare is an X factor that we can put into our sin.

The X factor of psychological warfare is very important. You don't know if that

next step is actually going to be a loss of a limb. The U .S. Army Rangers

counter with a fragmentation mine that ambushes the enemy with lethal

The Claymore, plastic explosive combined with steel shrapnel, a Ranger's staple

since the Vietnam War.

M18A1 Claymore mine, one and a half pounds of C4 with 700 steel balls to the

front of it. We can change the angles that we're going to set them at, where

it's going to be going along parallel to the ground or down into the heads. What

you can do with your imagination is what you can do with a Claymore.

For this test, a ballistics gel torso is placed 15 feet from the Claymore mine,

the optimal distance for detonation.

To determine the blast radius of the Claymore's higher explosive content, two

blood -filled foam torsos.

With 38 and 100 G -shot patches, a position 30 and 40 feet away.

On your go, let her rip.

Safety off.

Fire in the hole.

All right.

Take a look here.

Both are tripped, Jeff. Take a look at the frag.

Multiple pellets in the chest. Instant kill city.

The two remaining targets are also instant kills.

Not only did he have a shock patch this trip, the pellets are enough to kill.

Take a look. One right through the shock patch. Another one right here above the

sternal notch. One grazing the shoulder. One on top of the head. In combination,

it's a kill.

U .S. Rangers Claymore mine took out more targets with a larger dose of

explosive and shrapnel.

But the North Korean box mine can be buried by the dozens.

So which special weapon gives its worry an edge?

I mean, that Claymore.

Bigger punch, more pellets. Looking at the results of the test, those torsos,

all three of them were lethal versus three targets for the box mine, only one

them being lethal.

I think the more powerful aspect of the box mine is that huge psychological

aspect of where is it, when is it going to go up, can I walk into this field?

When you're talking about the box mine, it's designed to maim maybe possible

death, but it is a traditional mine.

Where the Claymore...

You can deploy it all kinds of ways. It is incredibly lethal.

Claymore Mine has it all the way.

The Special Weapons Edge, U .S. Army Rangers.

Coming up, the final battle.

North Korea's S .O .F., Communist Operative, versus the U .S. Army

Defenders of Freedom, the battle that could lead to World War III. Place up

in the closest duel to the death in Deadliest Warrior History.

Hey guys, we are back live. That Claymore mine did some serious damage

wouldn't like to be on the receiving end of that. And we're about to find out

who wins this modern day matchup. But before we do, our live poll results are

in. And the Army Rangers have it 78 % to the North Koreans on 22.

Bit of a North Korean renaissance there.

Jeff, do you have any final predictions before we run the simulation?

Well, we've seen the weapons test, and there's no question that Claymore Mine

going to give the Army Rangers a huge advantage.

But we can't forget, this year we're considering expats, and the North

are fighting on their home turf, and that's got to give them a big advantage

the sim.

It is a massive advantage. You've got to take every advantage you can in this

game. This is the Live Aftermath, and keep posting those comments on Twitter

Facebook, and we will answer your questions live at 11 p .m. We are 100 %

and also we have a... Very special guest coming up right here. Stay tuned. Don't

go anywhere.

The Deadliest Warrior.

All about being comfortable being uncomfortable.

That is discipline that comes from just intense training. We rated in the favor

of the North Korean Special Operations Force, where they have an 88 versus the

Rangers 83.

U .S. Army Rangers.

versus the North Korean Special Operations Forces.

Who is deadliest?

Our team of experts has tested, recorded, and analyzed the weapons these

frontline fighting forces brought to the showdown.

In long -range weapons, North Korean PSL rifle was outdone by the U .S. Army's

SR -45 carbine. In medium -range weapons, the Rangers' M4 assault rifle

finished off by the SOF's AKM.

For special weapons, the North Korean box landmine was thrown away by the U

Army's Claymore.

In hand -to -hand combat, SOC P fought to a dead -even draw with Hapkido and

Taekwondo. While the experts have formed their opinions, all the concrete test

data has turned over to Robert Daly and entered into the digital combat engine,

which ultimately determines the winner.

His team of engineers and historians has completed its research and assigned

value to more than 100 X -Factors.

We evaluate these X -Factors like endurance, training, and discipline.

Art historians quantify it into a numeric value of 1 to 100. 100 being the

perfect warrior.

A really important X -Factor for me is the psychological warfare.

The North Koreans put landmines and they don't care who it kills. They don't

care if it's a civilian or an actual target that they were looking to kill.

Rangers do want to create...

havoc with the military organizations.

But what they don't want to do is create panic in the civilian population.

But I don't think the North Korean Special Operations Forces care.

What they want to do is complete their mission, and they don't care how they go

about doing it. And we take that into account. It's heavily weighted towards

North Korean Special Operations Forces with an 86 versus the U .S. Army Rangers

74. And when you look at the North Koreans, these guys are willing to

themselves to their own execution for efficiency sake.

That's got to play into this thing. On extremism, the North Korean Special

Operations Force would really take the cake here. They're rated a 90. We very

rarely rate anything that high.

And the Rangers, they have an 83.

When you look at this extremism from the North Korean Special Operations Force,

you have to take into consideration the Rangers' operational experience

throughout the world. The operational experience for the Rangers definitely

outweighs the North Korean Special Operations Forces. And the Rangers score

85 versus the North Koreans scoring a 78.

And this is primarily due to the fact that the North Koreans only have

operational experience on the Korean Peninsula.

And that leads us right into the X factor of terrain.

We cannot forget how obsessed the North Koreans are with South Korea and the

Korean Peninsula, whereas the U .S. Army Rangers train to be effective globally.

The North Koreans are going to be extremely effective on the Korean

In fact, they will have a tremendous advantage. The North Korean Special

Operations Force have an 88 versus the Rangers' 78.

Okay, guys, we got the historical data. We've considered the X factors. We've

got the weapons data all in the SIM. Let's do it.

It's time for the battle that could lead to World War III. The digital combat

engine will execute 5 ,000 battles between five U .S. Army Rangers and five

North Korean Special Operations Forces.

Their battlefield, the Korean Peninsula.

Hey, just leave the window open!

The closest contest in Deadliest Warrior history.

The Rangers prevailed, but just barely, winning 2 ,504 battles to the

SOF's 2 ,496.

While the Rangers still did win, very slightly, the North Koreans were really

very effective on the Korean Peninsula. They gave the Rangers all they could

handle. North Korea's Special Operations Forces had an advantage in the majority

of expected categories, such as terrain, extremism, and psychological warfare.

But the critical expectors of operational experience and hand -to

went to the U .S. Army Rangers.

That was the advanced technology of the devastating Claymore Mine, which

dominated with 72 % effectiveness, tipped the victory in favor of the

This matchup was incredibly close.

The North Korean Special Operations Force understands the terrain very well,

I don't know if there's any other unit in the world that has experienced more

real -world combat than the U .S. Army Rangers.

War could break out at any moment, matching two of the world's fiercest

forces against each other with World War III hanging on the outcome.

This is as real as Deadliest Warrior can get.
