Delta Force vs GSG9

Beginning Analysis: What happens when two of the world's top counter-terrorism forces go head to head? Read on to see who...is...deadliest!?

Delta Force Quick Bio
The cream of the crop of U.S. military forces, Delta Force are the elite of the elite. Formed on November 21 1977 after numerous terrorist incidents during the years earlier, Delta Force, or sometimes call just Delta, they are one of the secretive Tier One counterterrorism and special forces units that are within the United States. In addition to having some of the most brutal training in the world, Delta Force has also been in numerous operations since it's inception. Some of it's actions include counter-terrorism (obviously), hostage rescue, and raids against terrorist cells. It's 17 operations and covert actions have cemented itself as one of the world's best counterterrorism forces.

Delta Force Weapons
Short Range: Beretta M9 Pistol
Medium Range: M4A1 Carbine
Long Range: M249 "Saw" Light Machinegun
Explosive: C4

GSG9 Quick Bio
Formed just 6 months after the infamous 1972 olympics, GSG9 (Border Guard Group 9, which was translated from the original German name) is the counter-terrorism and special operations unit of the German police. Like Delta Force, GSG9 has some of the world's toughest training, and have been in over 1500 missions, some of which include sniper operations, hostage taking, and tracking down fugitives. What is most unique about the group is that despite being in over 1500 missions, they had only opened fire on 5 occassions (official number prior to the 2003 Iraq War).

GSG9 Weapons
Short Range: Walther PPS Pistol
Medium Range: HK G36 Assault Rifle
Long Range: MG 3 Heavy Machinegun
Explosive: Semtex

Who Got the Edge
Beretta M9 Pistol vs Walther PPS Pistol: The Beretta M9 gets the edge. It has a longer barrel than the PPS (125mm compared to 81mm), and has a higher ammo capacity (the M9 can take 15 round clips, while the PPS can only accept 6, 7, or 8 round clips).
M4A1 Carbine vs HK G36 Assault Rifle: Both assault rifles get the edge. The M4A1 has a lighter weight when unloaded (2.52kg compared to 3.6kg), and has a higher rate of fire (700 to 950 rounds a minute compared to the HK G36's firing rate of 750 rounds a minute). The HK G36, on the other hand, has a longer barrel (480mm compared to the M4A1's barrel length of 370mm), giving it a bit more accuracy. The one thing that both of these rifles have in common is their 30-round magazie.
M249 "SAW" vs MG 3: The MG 3 gets the edge. It has a longer barrel (565mm compared to the SAW's barrel length of 465mm), and has a higher rate of fire (The MG 3 can fire anywhere from 700 to 800, or 1100 to 1200 rounds a minute, while the SAW can only fire 750 to 1000 rounds a minute).
C4 vs Semtex: Semtex gets the edge. Watch Navy SEALS vs Israeli Commandos for details.

Common Quality
Counter-Terrorism: Both of these warriors are experts in counter-terrorism, but it's how they go about their job that makes them unique. Delta Force is more of a "in your face" counter-terrorism group, often charging in, and blasting the whole place up. GSG9, on the other hand, is a bit more sophisticated. They like to plan things out before they go in and take out the bad guys.

Setup
It was a hot day in Iraq. The sun was high in the sky, the air was dry, and there wasn't a drop of water in sight. The perfect conditions for a training exercise.
There wasn't a single vehicle (abandoned or not) on the dusty road, saved for one U.S. Army truck, rumbling along towards an abandoned settlement. Inside the truck were five members of Delta Force, one of the toughest counterterrorism groups to have ever formed in the world. Although the soldiers inside the truck were as impressive as they came, orders from the top came down, demanding that this squad perform a special training exercise. They couldn't refuse, especially since it was from high up in the military food chain.
The truck finally arrived in the settlement. It was actually kinda of a creepy place. The settlement was a Kurdish village during the late 80s, until Saddam Hussein gassed the entire place, killing everyone that didn't make it out. The settlement was now a silent monument to the innocent lives that were slain here. When the United States came into the country back in 2003, the settlement was one of the first places they encountered, and have sense been using it as a training ground for troops who are new to the Middle East.
The truck finally stopped to a halt. The engine hissed, and a final puff of exhaust came out of the tailpipe. The driver took the keys out of the ignition, and placed them in his pocket. "Hey, we're here." the driver said as he banged on the back. The three soldiers that were sitting in the bed of the truck got their gear together, and jumped out of the back. The driver in front picked up his Beretta Pistol, and got out. The driver's passenger got out, just as he finally finished unbuckling his screwed-up seatbelt.
"Alright, everybody know what's going on?" asked the driver.
"Nope." the passenger said plainly, all the while trying to yawn.
"Of cource you wouldn't known Leeroy." the driver replied. "You were asleep the whole ride here!"
"Well excuse me Sarge." replied Leeroy. "I can't help it when it gets this damn hot!"
"Sarge, go easy on him." said one of the other soldiers. "He's gonna be the meat shield. Isn't he?"
The other soldiers laughed at his last comment. Sarge managed to get a chuckle in before getting down to business
"As tempting as that sounds, the answer is no." he said. "We were told to show up here for a little bit of live fire training, and that everybody has to participate."
"Live fire training?" asked one of the soldiers. "Didn't a couple of N.Y.P.D guys try that a while back?"
"Yeah they did." Sarge replied. "From what I heard, they got their butts whopped pretty bad."
"Did they say who it was that we were supposed to shoot at?" asked one of the other soldiers.
"No clue." replied Sarge. "I was just told this: shoot to kill."
Right after he finished talking, a hail of bullets came right at them. Sarge & Leeroy ducked into an alleyway on the right side of the truck, while the 3 other soldiers ducked into an alleyway on the left.
"****!" yelled Sarge. "Guess they wanted to start a little early!"
Leeroy drew his own Beretta Pistol, and loaded a clip. "Leeroy, what are you doing?" Sarge asked.
"Giving you guys time." replied Leeroy, and he charged the oncoming gunfire.
"Leeroy, no!" Sarge yelled. Before the hail of bullets went right through Leeroy and shredding up his insides, the squad heard the strangest of battlecries.
"LEEEEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOY JENKINS!!"

Delta Force: 4/GSG9: 5

"Damnit Leeroy!" Sarge yelled. "Okay guys, return fire." The squad slowly came out of the alleyways, and started firing back. The gunfire coming at they appeared to be originating from a building directly across from their truck. One of the soldiers, codenamed Romeo, raised his M249 SAW, and started spitting bullets right back at the squad's attackers. A soldier from the opposite side suddenly rose up at the worst time, and a bunch of bullets went right through his neck, and almost decapitated him.

Delta Force: 4/GSG9: 4

Immediately, the gunfire ceased. Sarge looked at his soldiers in the other alleyway, and they looked back at him. They slowly crept out from cover, and into the open. After a few second of looking around for whoever started shooting at them, the cautiously approached Leeroy's corpse. He was still gripping his Beretta, and his face still had a furious look etched on it. The eyes were rolled into the back of the head, and a few flies were starting to come in.
"Damnit Leeroy." said Sarge.
"So what now?" asked Romeo.
"Alright, so here's the plan." replied Sarge. "Romeo, you and me head towards the building where that gunfire was coming from. You two, look around and see if there's any surprises. I want to come out of this place without any other trouble."
The squad nodded, and broke off from the huddle. Now that the exercise was in full swing, they had to stay on full alert.
Sarge & Romeo were on their way to the enemy building. The streets & alleyways of the village were disturbingly quiet, and a few skeletons, still dressed in the native style of the region, gave testament to one of the world's most cruelest dictators.
"Sarge, this place gives me the creeps." said Romeo.
"I'm with you on that." replied Sarge.
They kept walking towards the enemy building, when they heard two people speaking. They ducked behind a stack of crates, and listened in on what they were saying. Problem was, they couldn't understand anything.
"Romeo, you're the language guy. Tell me what they're saying." said Sarge.
"I can't." said Romeo plainly.
"Why?" asked Sarge in an irritated tone.
"It's German." Romeo replied. "I never learned the language."
Sarge just shook his head, and the two soldiers crept up a little closer. They spotted two opposing soldiers standing just outside the building. They had on gear that was totally different that what he, Romeo, and his other men had. The opposing soldiers also had more modern looking guns, and they had a patch on their shoulders that looked like the flag of Germany.
"Sarge, are you sure the higher ups didn't tell you who were were training against?" asked Romeo, who at this point was starting to get irritated with the whole situation.
"Positive." replied Sarge. "They didn't say squat. It just makes me wonder."
"Well, screw what they didn't tell us." said Romeo. He took a block of C4 from one of his vest pockets, and placked it right next to an old wooden barrel. He took out a blasting cap from his pocket, and stuck it into the C4. Sarge placed his hand on Romeo, and worried about what was going to happen next.
"Romeo, you better not do anything stupid." said Sarge.
"Don't worry, I'm not." replied Romeo. He picked the SAW back up, and walked out of cover. He managed to get their attention with some whistling, and a few hand waves. Immediately, the two guards started firing back, and Romen managed to run out of the way. He and Sarge quickly ran from the scene, with the two guards on their tail.
"I knew you were going to do something stupid." said Sarge angrily.
"No, I wasn't." Romeo replied. "Just watch."
They got to a safe distance, when they saw the two guards get right next to where the C4 was placed. Romeo raised the detonator, and pressed the button. The C4 immediately exploded, sending the two guards sky high.

Delta Force: 4/GSG9: 2

"I take it all back." said Sarge with a surprised voice. "You weren't doing anything stupid after all."
Romeo chuckled, and put the detonator back in his pocket. The two soldiers walked over the bodies, who were nice & crispy and full of splinters. They proceeded inside the building, unaware of what may be inside.
Meanwhile, the other Delta Force soldiers were continuing to look around for clues, when they spotted the explosion that Romeo created. They were alarmed by what just happened, when gun came from the left.
"Look out!" yelled one of the soldiers. He pushed his partner out of the way, and started firing back with his M4 Carbine. He layed down an impressive amount of fire, but sometimes, an impressive amount of gunfire doesn't quite cut it. Numerous bullets went right into his chest, shredding his lungs, and causing his heart to explode.

Delta Force: 3/GSG9: 2

The other soldier just stayed in his little hidey spot. The gunfire was still coming his way, and it showed little sign of stopping. Giving a quick prayer, the soldier loaded up his gun just as the incoming gunfire stopped, and charged right in. He pulled the trigger on his own M4, and a steady stream of bullets came out of the barrel. A few of them went right through the helmet of one of the other gunman, and into his brain. Without flicking fingers, his brain was turned to mush, and his body slumped against the wall.

Delta Force: 3/GSG9: 1

"Yeah!" the soldier yelled in victory. "That was for Leeroy, you son of a *****!"
Sometimes, cheering out in victory can lead to...unpleasant things. What the soldier didn't realize was that someone was sneaking up from behind. He stood all the way up, and raised a pistol to the back of his head. With a single pull of the trigger, he had eternity to think upon his mistake.

Delta Force: 2/GSG9: 1

Romeo & Sarge heard the gunshot. While they were hoping that it was one of their own, the two of them had the sneaking suspicion that it wasn't. They shoved the thought out of their heads, and continued to investigate inside the building.
There wasn't much inside the place. A few ammo boxes, a table covered with a map and other documents, and a gunrack were all that was inside. Romeo & Sarge were surprised by the lack of things.
"It's disappointing, really." said Romeo.
"I definitely agree with you on that." replied Sarge. "Let's go check the roof."
Romeo & Sarge started making their way to the top. When they got there, the only thing that was waiting for them was a unmaned machinegun, and dozens of spent shells.
"You know what, I take it all back." said Romeo. "Up here sucks."
"I'm right there with you." replied Sarge. "Hey, you see any of the squad?"
"Let me check." said Romeo. He took his pair of binoculars off of his head, and raised them up. He scanned the entire village, but there was no sign of the other soldiers.
"Well, did you see them?" asked Sarge.
Romeo lowered his binoculars, and sighed. "No, I didn't see any of them." he said.
"Well that's just great." said Sarge. "Alright, let's get back down to the ground, and then we'll..."
A loud bang cut him off before he could finish talking around. He quickly felt all over his body to see if he was the one shot, and luckily, he wasn't. Sarge then turned to look ar Romeo, and found to his dismay that he was the one that was shot. A single bullet went right through his helmet, then right through his brain, and now his body was on the roof in a lifeless heap.

Delta Force: 1/GSG9: 1

Sarge was shocked by the sight of his comrade's body. Goddammit. he muttered. Screw the exercise. I'm getting the hell out of here.
Sarge immediately headed back down the stairs, and out of the building. He spotted the truck that he was driving, and got out the keys. He paused to get one final look at Leeroy's body. Damnit Leeroy, Sarge said again. He saluted his fallen comrade, and continued onto the truck. He opened the door, and popped right in. With another jingle, he put the keys into the ignition, and turned. Nothing. He tried again, and there was still nothing. Damnit, he said, and took out the keys. He got out of the truck, and went to see if the engine was still okay. He stuck his hand under the hood, and found the hiden level. With a single push, the hood popped.
"Okay, let's see what's going on." said Sarge.
He raised the lid, and the first thing he saw was a block of explosive material. "What the..." was all Sarge could say before the explosive went off, and shredded his body in the process.

Delta Force: 0/GSG9: 1

GSG9: 578
Walther PPS Pistol: 20
HK G36 Assault Rifle: 100

Ending Assessment: Although both are highly experienced, GSG9 had the distinct advantages of being around for a bit longer, and taking on more missions.
Strongest Weapon: With an explosive 258 kills, Semtex is the strongest weapon of this fight.
Weakest Weapon: Given it's 20 kills, the Walther PPS takes the weakest weapon spot.
