All language subtitles for Deadliest warrior s03e03 U.S. Army Rangers vs. North Korean Special Operation Forces

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.

physical and psychological traits that

shaped these legends of war.

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.

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

massacre a man.

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.
