haha yes, planting nail bombs in pubs sure is 'mechanical'.

the comparison between assault rifles was also misjudged; many experts would agree an ak47 owns an ar15...reliability wins ANYDAY (i find it comical they arrived at the reverse decision despite the ar15 jamming up). most of the stuff they cover is accurate, but they make some glaring mistakes as well (gb vs spet: a shooting knife beats the entrenching tool? WHAT? for one, who wants to lose their close range weapon, and two, the entrenching tool can cut  a mans skull IN HALF. and sure, the spets can roll around and shoot from unorthodox positions, but like the gb said while the russian was doing all that jazzy rolling around, he'd just put a round in him).
The Russians were better fighters completely. Did you see the handgun thing?

so hold on, you're guaging the effectiveness of an entire military division based on handgun marksmanship alone? so? the show failed to mention the m9 beretta carries TWICE as many rounds as the makarov. also, according to the show we have better snipers (which we do...the dragonov is a joke compared alongside the m24, although they misrepresented the fire rate on the show...the m24 is bolt action). the only edge i can honestly give the spets was with their saiga shotgun...its a very, very, very sick shotgun...however i have no idea why the gb used the mossberg in favor of the semi-automatic benelli...

even so, both the spets and gb's have completely different battle tactics...the spets rely more on the individual alone rather than the entire squad, while the gb's general philosophy is to rely on squad tactics and combined firepower. and to put it simply, if you're outmanned and outgunned, you're pretty much screwed. russians 'completely better fighters'? not even close. tell you what, you take your makarov and i'll take the m24 at 300 yards, and we'll see what happens...

The Russians were using technology that was decades old. They are the better warrior.

...what does that have to do with anything? how old is the ak47 and how long has it been in use? 50-60 years old and STILL going strong. your point has no validity...if both sides have the same arms and firepower, then you must compare battle tactics. again, you do your fancy little rolling around jig, we'll put a slug in you. again, the battle tactics between the two are tremendously different. the spets, although highly trained, their methods are not based on the team reliance and strategy like that of the gb's. and yeah, the spets are highly trained in pain resistance, but thats alot of training time spent on tactics that only become primarily useful if you're captured. in hand to hand, you usually die from a puncture force or blunt trauma at some point, so this type of training is a complete waste of time...almost utterly useless in modern warfare. if the weapons are similiar, or even in some cases inferior, the team that wins the most are the ones that work together and use their mind. gb's will on average win this battle hands down.

No way at all. GB's aren't psychopaths, they're cocky Americans. Also, a team of GB's is only as strong as their weakest link. The Russians are all able to independently function by themselves.

gb's have no 'weak link'; they're the best of the best. funny you mention 'cocky', seeing as how spets seem to always want to do things on their own. who cares if they're independent...a squad of highly trained soldiers can easily overcome a renegade rambo wannabe.

According to trained experts, they can't.

And yes, a squad of crappy American soldiers could maybe be an even match for a Russian (which is what you said).

trained experts? somewhat. i've already pointed out many glaring mistakes and flaws. the show is primarily for entertainment value.

A (denoting singularity, one, lone, independent) russian soldier will die easily to a TEAM (denoting plurality, more than one, not alone) of gb's. i suggest picking up some simple rts' or even fps' to learn simple warfare strategy as such.

Yes, however, Russians still win in squad on squad.

if you're trained to fight independently, how can you possibly fight as a team? i find it amusing how loosely you use the term 'squad' in regards to the spets.

I watched that episode though... That ballistic knife is rediculous. lol.

Still, it bugged me that they didnt run both of each weapon type in the SAME way. GB's just had to stand and fire at a pig point blank, while the spetsnaz was doing an actual combat scenerio.

They used the term squad. The Russians work better independently; thus, a "squad" of Spetsnaz is going to have the advantage of being multipule targets working independently, as opposed to just a single target which can be taken out with one frag.

Main Entry: squad
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: team, crew
Synonyms: band, battalion, company, division, force, gang, group, regiment, squadron, troop  

anyways.

just because the gb work together extraordinarily better than the spets does not mean they would all be grouped together to be taken out by a single frag. where did you EVER draw that correlation?

i have a problem with losing my close range weapon after just one use. its seriously one of the most useless weapons i've seen on the show.

You don't always shoot it, you just CAN shoot it if you need to. Stop being whiny just because your country lost. All professional experts agree with me. Also, it's no surprise that Russian forces would trump American forces; Americans may be trained to think, but Russians are far more intelligent than Americans genetically. We've also seem that the Russians are incredibly better trained. The rifles and pistols are practically equal; however, the Spetsnaz are better trained with both (as was shown). The GB's have a better sniper rifle, which makes sense because of technology. Also, if you remember, the GB's said that they used the same grenades as the Spetsnaz a decade ago (showing another temporal technological advantage).

ignorant to pretty much everything? i've provided countless specifics and facts on why the gb would literally tear apart the spets, and the best you can ever provide is 'nuh uh, no way, no they cant' with no substantiating evidence WHATSOEVER and this completey asinine claim to 'genetic superiority'. you've been outsmarted and outclassed in nearly EVERY aspect regarding this subject (not just by me, but by others as well), and your feeble attempts at constructing anything even REMOTELY valid is just further hurting your credibility. seriously, just give it up while you're not ahead.

You seem to be under the false impression that I'm taking this argument seriously. You also seem to be under the false impression that you've constructed a good argument.
