Yeah that would have been more interesting but the SAS more than slightly outmatch the US Marines. They should have found some UK Marine Commandos and matched them up with the US Marines
@@dynamo1796no, Commandos are still a tier higher than the US marines. For it to be fair you’d have to use the Raiders or Force Recon. The uk doesn’t have an equivalent to the US marines
If you can get a hold of ex SAS then ex seals are just as possible. Delta forces would be a better comparison though since SBS is more related to Seals
Navy seals are equiv to our Bootnecks a lot of former seals have openly said that The SAS are like the american SF unit nobody has heard about If you know you know Civvies need not apply
For those curious, as a Marine, I met some SAS guys and Royal Marines about 20 years ago in a land far far away. Unless things have changed, theres really no comparison. SAS and the Royal Marines/ commandos are more specialized and highly trained than a standard US Marine. I think SAS are more comparable to the Seals while commando units would be like our Force reconnosance. US Marines would fall somewhere in between your standard Army soldier and special forces. SAS size is pretty small compared to US Marines at 200,000. Which is less than half the size of our army.
Talking to the Force Recon guys I know, they compare themselves to SEALs all the time, and insist they are at least as good as SEALs, if not better. They are always pissed that SEALs get all missions that they could easily do.
@@ScottGrow117 They can blame that on joining the Marine Corps. SEALs are handed missions by JSOC, where Force Recon will only execute missions given by the Marine Corps. If they wanted to given the respect of a SEAL, they should have tried out for MARSOC.
@@AntiChris you missed what I said. I'm talking about before MARSOC, pre 06. One of those guys I'm talking about was in the very first platoon of MARSOC Marines. Actually, several, but I didn't know the others all that well.

The issue I see with this is that USMC is a general term for the entire Marine Corps, while the SAS is a specialized unit. MARSOC vs SAS would've been more peer to peer, but I guess even grunts can be effective if trained right.
Despite popular belief. NOT Every Marine is a Rifleman. But a pog Marine is definitely different when compared to a pog of any other branch. Marine Infantry is more akin to.. their 2 or their 3 operators. An example would be Army Rangers, or Air Borne. Not Teir 1 operators, but definitely in the minors so to speak. Every single Infantry unit I ever served with was Special Opetations qualified.

The US and UK are two of the closest allies in the world too. We work directly with them in all our conflicts. Its crazy that some people really have an issue with the other country beyond banter
@@joeblowe3180 Probably because although there are US military personnel in the UK for a number of reasons, US special forces are a much rarer group, especially in a foreign country even an allied one. Same reason why you prob won't see many videos of SAS at US shooting ranges.
One time at paintball there was an infantry reserves lieutenant playing on our team. Most of the day he held back and let everybody just do their thing. Our win-loss record was pretty bad. Then he says to us, “would you like to win one for a change?” We agree, and then he draws a little map in the dirt and gives us his strategy for how the other team was probably going to play it, where we should hide, when we should shoot, etc. The game was over in less than five minutes, and honestly the games we lost were actually more fun because they lasted longer! 😂

American veteran here, 20 seconds in. I'm calling it for the SAS now. The Marines are a great conventional force, but the SAS is one of the best special operations units in the world. If the Marines won, I'd never shut up about it, ever.
@@joeblow8379 shut up mate they used an umbrella, there’s literally people who were ex us soldiers saying it was inevitable, we literally trained your troops
@@Aster-NASAThey should have done SAS vs Delta Forces or the Navy SEAL’s, the marines are not anywhere near the level as the SAS. It was kinda rigged in favor of the Brits.
It’s widely accepted that the SAS is the best special forces in the world followed by the navy seals of the US. But the US and UK train together, truly special friendship. Brothers from across the pond.
True true, but in fairness to Max. His American friend said the "US Marines" would beat the "SAS" - An hilarious arguement to be sure, but perfectly within the parametres of what his American friend had stated. With the US army budget, I suspect their Special Forces might as good, if not better, than the SAS
@@jacksorrows2509 Delta (The US Army equivalent to the SAS) directly took pretty much everything from the SAS, I'm not gonna compare them beyond that as A) I'm a civi and B) SOPs change so often its hard to say who's better.
@@_e_6456 here is also the hard part to tell which is better i have no doubt since the UK and the US are such close allies that our special forces team might train together so often and trade secrets with each other that its like two sides of the same coin
the idea, that in any sort of real life scenario the us marines, a branch a highschooler can join, could keep up with a unit like the sas, that handpicks its applicants is genuinely ridiculous.
My first thought exactly. SAS are the UK’s top notch special forces. I fully respect our US marines and appreciate them however, the comparison is like apples to oranges. Now do this with Navy SEALs or Delta force and we would have an actual comparison. Either way, God Bless America and her allies 🫡 🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧
Not even with SEALs. Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU) and 1st SFOD-D would give SAS / SBS a run for their money, especially with the assets made available to US forces but SEALs are a tier 2 organisation that recruits mostly from navy basic training candidates, once they've passed green team they're more on par with UKSF. On another note, 'US Marine' just means a member of the USMC. That could be anything from cooks to Force Recon marines. And the USMC fights in a completely different way, USMC have their own land, sea and air assets that they can make use of on a battlefield, they are trained to a standard that can rely on those assets. SOF (Of any country but more so non-US countries) need to rely more on their own abilities and gear. The USMC is a brilliant organisation that is an incredibly effective warfighting machine, alongside the USN, USA, USAF but they are not truly comparable to SAS like this.
People calling Navy, Airforce, etc the "Army" is an understandable mistake. Military and army seem like they should be synonymous. Calling them special forces is dumb though.😂
That’s kindoff your fault for using stupid names. All through history they said army. You don’t say. Napoleon invaded with his grand military! You say army. Because they used to be synonyms.
@@alexzoilist9584 that’s the thing. The navy used to be part. Of the army. If you’re talking about the navy alone then you say navy. If you’re talking about the army you say army. If you talk to marines about the entire military and say army? Yeah.
@@thedonkey6704 The navy was never part of the french army. The only argument you could ever make for a navy being part of the army is going back to Roman times where legionaries were in the army but could be stationed on boats. Every modern military, including the Napoleonic French military, seperated the two. There was the department of the navy and department of the army.
Started out with the odds all against 'em But the British had a fighting man named Brock He was fearless, he was brave, and all Queenston he did save From the 'Yankees who were petrified with shock....
It’s worth noting that US Marines aren’t actually special forces or anything, they’re basically just the army but more equipped to fight in places like the Pacific Ocean
@@Ouroboros63 they aren’t elite actually, kind of a misconception perpetrated by the different equipment fielded. While there are special units inside the marine corps, there is nothing inherently special about them besides their capabilities amphibiously. This is especially apparent given the fact that historically, the army and marines will fill each other roles such as D-day being carried out by the army and land based invasion and occupation in the Middle East being heavily involved with marines.
Different missions. The Marines are more like shock troops. The Army besides being a massive fighting forces, is also required to maintain and hold territory. Different jobs, different skills.
The marines aren't even special forces xD they're just a branch of the military attached to the navy lol. Should have gone with green barrettes, SEALS, or Delta lol
Really good video I enjoyed it but I would have liked to see the last challenge to be a team battle since that’s the type of fight I mainly see when watching paintball. Overall W video and I would like to see more pranks like this.
Commenting at like 0:30 here. Marines are just marines. Well lemme rephrase that. Marines are our traditional forces. Grunts if you will like 11B's. The SAS are a special forces/operations teams that typically deal with terrorism and high profile threats. Our Marines are good butt there's a world of difference between gear and tactics. Still I look forward to seeing this play out. There nco will definitely be happy if they win. The Marines nco.
I served in the US Marines, and we don't use terms like 11B, that's army. Our infantry is 0311 Rifleman, 0331 Machine gunner, 0341 Mortarman (my MOS), and 0351 Assaultman.
8:43 I know Max was trying to be patriotic by having "God Save the King" playing, but the thing is that we Americans kind of just stole the tune and renamed it to "My Country Tis of The," which is a song we also consider really patriotic. It confused me for a moment when the tune started playing for Max and not Preston.
Mr. Fosh, I have recently come across a very silly thing that you could do. It involves the Tower Bridge in London. Since I do not live in London, I did some research for this. Apparently, the world record for the number of times the Tower Bridge has been opened in one day was 64 times. All you need to open the Tower Bridge is to email them at least 24 hours before and they are legally obliged to open it for you, as long as you have a mast of 30ft., or 9 m. It takes approximately five minutes for the Tower Bridge to open and close, and if you were to have perhaps a five-ten minute break in between each one, it would be entirely feasible for this to happen. Long live the Silly Billy King!
@@xGatorchomp28xso… piss off all the people trying to use the bridge and cause bad traffic etc. Sounds like a kind of selfish a hole move so wouldnt surprise me if he did that.
I was imagining this after the SAS video!! This is awesome! Side note for those who don't know: The United States Marine Corps is not a special forces unit, but rather a branch of the 6 armed forces (USMC, USA, USAF, USSP, USN, USCG). The SAS (Speacial Air Service) is a special force unit, but not necessarily a branch of the British armed forces.
I've heard that saying many times before, and the sentiment is nice but it's a bit dumb. There has to be a way to easily state whether or not someone is still active duty or not, and "ex-marine" is just the easiest way to say it.
Inactive Marine, former Marine, retired Marine are all acceptable. Retire for those that did at least 20 years. Former (shortened form of "formally active Marine" ) They have earned their right to be called a Marine forever and always. There is a reason they are the only branch in the USA (and UK IIRC) that meet or exceed their quota of recruits.
Good video, though I do think for the final challenge you should have had the US Marines & SAS face off while you & Preston cheered on your respective nations from the sidelines.
It’s ok. Not everyone knows the flag code. We’re still better than our brothers over the pond(this video was rigged). I’d say he’s a patriot regardless.
Funny enough they actually do silly competitions all the time (especially UK and US and is actually set up and moderated by the two governments as like “war games”). As you would expect, US usually smokes them.
@@Dr.Pippen anywhere we can watch this? lol And many of us would actually not expect the US to 'smoke them' ... the British military has a stellar reputation (especially SAS). 🙂
@@xGatorchomp28x the SAS is profound, but nothing compared to forces such as Delta, ISA, etc. SAS is more on the level of SEAL’s… I’m not sure where to watch. I’ve had quite a few buddies participate and show me videos and tell stories and I’ve seen a few clips here and there. They’re nothing like this video though. It’s pretty much military Olympics often using sim rounds, as opposed to paintball. From what I’ve been told, it usually narrows down into a personal tournament style with elimination rounds, coming down to 2 or maybe a few people in the end. Would love to know where to watch myself, but it’s not exactly a televised event. Mostly just soldiers being bored and fucking around in their spare time…

@@ThatWhichObserves lol, I’m gonna guess that person has no more evidence for that than the rest of us. I think we can be pretty confident that they are not active though. They aren’t getting sanctioned to do this whilst active and they wouldn’t want to either.
American veteran here, 20 seconds in. I'm calling it for the SAS now. The Marines are a great conventional force, but the SAS is one of the best special operations units in the world.
If the Marines won, I'd never shut up about it, ever.
God bless you
It's also a terrible competition, that was CLEARLY slanted in favor of the Brits. Typical
@@joeblow8379 shut up mate they used an umbrella, there’s literally people who were ex us soldiers saying it was inevitable, we literally trained your troops
@@Aster-NASAThey should have done SAS vs Delta Forces or the Navy SEAL’s, the marines are not anywhere near the level as the SAS. It was kinda rigged in favor of the Brits.
It’s widely accepted that the SAS is the best special forces in the world followed by the navy seals of the US. But the US and UK train together, truly special friendship. Brothers from across the pond.
Watching the U.S. Marines die inside at being called the army was the highlight of this video for me.
The Special Forces of the USA known as "Marines" aka "The US Army" LMAO 😂😂🤣☠
dude it's got to be rage bait, Preston legit could have asked any veteran of any branch about some clarity on this lol.
@@Fleato Do you think a bunch of Brits care about that? LOL
Marines arent special forces...
1. Marines are part of the Navy
2. They aren't special forces unless they're Marine Raiders
@@Deftonesx84im 90% sure the marine corps is its own separate branch from the navy

To be fair, the marines aren’t actually special forces, and are still considered a tier 3 unit, while the SAS is a tier 1 unit.
True but his friend did say the US marines would destroy the SAS
@@Elemental_Clash The end was staged preston didnt even try
@@thegoatwhoplaysguitar4415 He did try but if you miss (which he did), you gotta wait for the other person to shoot.
@@Elemental_Clash oh well that’s not fare that he got to go first
Yeah he shouldve gotten the Navy Seals, wouldve been more fair
Infantry VS SF is a really funny argument
True true, but in fairness to Max. His American friend said the "US Marines" would beat the "SAS" - An hilarious arguement to be sure, but perfectly within the parametres of what his American friend had stated.
With the US army budget, I suspect their Special Forces might as good, if not better, than the SAS
@@jacksorrows2509 Delta (The US Army equivalent to the SAS) directly took pretty much everything from the SAS, I'm not gonna compare them beyond that as A) I'm a civi and B) SOPs change so often its hard to say who's better.
Also we dont get to see all the training they do after they pass@@_e_6456
@@_e_6456 here is also the hard part to tell which is better i have no doubt since the UK and the US are such close allies that our special forces team might train together so often and trade secrets with each other that its like two sides of the same coin
@@jacksorrows2509 bro sas would wie the floor on us marines
You know how excited those Marines were to discover crayon flavored bullets
lmao 😂😂
Xd
Hardly can comprehend such joy
The general marine branch of the U.S military isn't considered special forces, but there are spec ops units in the marines such as the MRR.
Paintball tournaments with military personnel would be an awesome televised sport.
not a bad idea
You could sell that idea to ESPN and Sky Sports and make BANK
Basically that one time the game R6 made the matches in-universe a global sport
We didn’t deserve this collab, top notch 😂
Only one like and no comments. Let me change that. P.S I Love your vids man you are the best
Yoooo John Nellis is here😂
the idea, that in any sort of real life scenario the us marines, a branch a highschooler can join, could keep up with a unit like the sas, that handpicks its applicants is genuinely ridiculous.
My first thought exactly. SAS are the UK’s top notch special forces. I fully respect our US marines and appreciate them however, the comparison is like apples to oranges. Now do this with Navy SEALs or Delta force and we would have an actual comparison.
Either way, God Bless America and her allies 🫡
🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧
Not even with SEALs. Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU) and 1st SFOD-D would give SAS / SBS a run for their money, especially with the assets made available to US forces but SEALs are a tier 2 organisation that recruits mostly from navy basic training candidates, once they've passed green team they're more on par with UKSF.
On another note, 'US Marine' just means a member of the USMC. That could be anything from cooks to Force Recon marines. And the USMC fights in a completely different way, USMC have their own land, sea and air assets that they can make use of on a battlefield, they are trained to a standard that can rely on those assets. SOF (Of any country but more so non-US countries) need to rely more on their own abilities and gear.
The USMC is a brilliant organisation that is an incredibly effective warfighting machine, alongside the USN, USA, USAF but they are not truly comparable to SAS like this.
@@ThatSoonerGuy Not apples to oranges, it would be a comparison between Samsung S20 and Iphone 15 Pro Max
You really shouldn't be basing your opinions on what is pretty much a shitpost. This isn't scientific at all.
not even the seals compare maybe team 6 but its hard to say the others teasm tho no not close@@ThatSoonerGuy

Insinuate he's in the Army.

Next video: I started a war between USA and China to see which country is better at paintball
Regular US Marines aren’t special forces, they’re just everyday grunts. That being said if you could get like Navy SEALs on this, I’d love that video.
This will be interesting as I’ve recently watched a US marine sharing his respect and awe at how truly phenomenal the UK SAS are. 👏🏻
Max sounds like the guy to run off a cliff, float, look down and fall
And make it into a splendid UA-cam video while doing so.

“So we can determine which country has the better special forces.”
Oh boy, here we go😂
America has Tier 1 and Tier 2 Navy SEALS and also has Delta force oh and FOG
@@charliebailey5251Still not as good as the SAS in terms of skill.
@@charliebailey5251 yeah the Marines arent a special forces group. Royal Marines vs US Marines would be fun to see too
Not really they just determined who is faster max or Preston
@@Gallalad1Royal Marines are of a much higher standard then US Marines
Kudos to both teams for their efforts and good sportsmanship shown. Looking forward to more entertaining challenges like this.
🇬🇧🇺🇲 The SAS and the Marines, you got to love it. Brothers in arms, Brothers in blood. 🇺🇲🇬🇧
And then came trump
@asinglemaleinuk and then came Starmer
Comparing the sas to the marines is insane
There is so much he got wrong, US Marines aren't special forces, and he called them "Army" 😭
People calling Navy, Airforce, etc the "Army" is an understandable mistake. Military and army seem like they should be synonymous.
Calling them special forces is dumb though.😂
That’s kindoff your fault for using stupid names. All through history they said army. You don’t say. Napoleon invaded with his grand military! You say army. Because they used to be synonyms.
@@thedonkey6704but he only invaded with his army. The French navy wasn’t called the French army
@@alexzoilist9584 that’s the thing. The navy used to be part. Of the army. If you’re talking about the navy alone then you say navy. If you’re talking about the army you say army. If you talk to marines about the entire military and say army? Yeah.
@@thedonkey6704 The navy was never part of the french army. The only argument you could ever make for a navy being part of the army is going back to Roman times where legionaries were in the army but could be stationed on boats. Every modern military, including the Napoleonic French military, seperated the two. There was the department of the navy and department of the army.
We're going back to 1812 with this one🗣️🔥🔥
"Wasn't as many as there was a while ago"
in 1814 we took a little trip, along with colonel Jackson down the mighty mississip'....
Started out with the odds all against 'em
But the British had a fighting man named Brock
He was fearless, he was brave, and all Queenston he did save
From the 'Yankees who were petrified with shock....
The people who work at that paintball field must be having a blast
It’s worth noting that US Marines aren’t actually special forces or anything, they’re basically just the army but more equipped to fight in places like the Pacific Ocean
They’re elite they’re a step above the army
@@Ouroboros63 they aren’t elite actually, kind of a misconception perpetrated by the different equipment fielded. While there are special units inside the marine corps, there is nothing inherently special about them besides their capabilities amphibiously. This is especially apparent given the fact that historically, the army and marines will fill each other roles such as D-day being carried out by the army and land based invasion and occupation in the Middle East being heavily involved with marines.
@@militaryman2121 Aren't the Marines way more physically fitter and stronger?
@@bigboi2724no its just another branch it’s not even a special division of the us military it’s an entire branch
Different missions. The Marines are more like shock troops. The Army besides being a massive fighting forces, is also required to maintain and hold territory. Different jobs, different skills.
Respect for all these guys' service, and the fact they wanted to have some fun and be in the video
Using the umbrella is a great example of “adapt, adjust, and overcome”. The Marines approve!
I’m at the 2/3rds part of the video and I just want to say as an American I appreciate the level of respect you shown both countries
I loved how 3 of the SAS chose the gruff crossed arms pose and the 4th just stood there 😂
and the 4th one is the shortest as well xD
probably more like they were all asked to do that pose that the always do on TV and one just refused.
The marines aren't even special forces xD they're just a branch of the military attached to the navy lol. Should have gone with green barrettes, SEALS, or Delta lol
ah yes the green baguettes
Tbf, his friend did say the marines would beat the SAS therefore, he got as the challenge said and got the marines
I hope these guys had fun doing this, seems like a really cool thing to do.
Preston’s run back with the umbrella made me proud to be an American
"more tours than Taylor Swift" got me rolling
was hoping for an actual sas vs marines.. this was not the video i was expecting
Preston is an absolute legend! And truly is the American version of you! So stoked on this collab! I hope to see more in the future!
Really good video I enjoyed it but I would have liked to see the last challenge to be a team battle since that’s the type of fight I mainly see when watching paintball. Overall W video and I would like to see more pranks like this.
Don't let them eat the paintballs
lmao
Don't worry, they always have a few crayons in their pockets as an emergency ration
dude for some reason the ad for air up and its transition from absoloute war to max fosh talking got me laughing so hard idk why
Commenting at like 0:30 here. Marines are just marines. Well lemme rephrase that. Marines are our traditional forces. Grunts if you will like 11B's. The SAS are a special forces/operations teams that typically deal with terrorism and high profile threats. Our Marines are good butt there's a world of difference between gear and tactics. Still I look forward to seeing this play out. There nco will definitely be happy if they win. The Marines nco.
Commenting at 5:50 the Marines are their own branch😅 they are not the USA their the USMC
I served in the US Marines, and we don't use terms like 11B, that's army. Our infantry is 0311 Rifleman, 0331 Machine gunner, 0341 Mortarman (my MOS), and 0351 Assaultman.
I loved those analogies about the tour and eagle, Brilliant.
Can’t believe Max Fosh is getting Mac Foshed by a rainbow umbrella
Did the guy just called Marines the US Army at 5:48? This is brave...
I mean they are a branch aren’t they
@@_rat_5758 No. Both the US Army and the US Marine Corps are branches of the US Armed Forces.
I hired an fbi agent to find my friends who went on holiday without me
This was a great idea, I have always wondered who would do better
00:01 the start of a comedic masterpiece
fax
Fr that first second was boring as shit
8:43 I know Max was trying to be patriotic by having "God Save the King" playing, but the thing is that we Americans kind of just stole the tune and renamed it to "My Country Tis of The," which is a song we also consider really patriotic. It confused me for a moment when the tune started playing for Max and not Preston.
Mr. Fosh, I have recently come across a very silly thing that you could do. It involves the Tower Bridge in London.
Since I do not live in London, I did some research for this. Apparently, the world record for the number of times the Tower Bridge has been opened in one day was 64 times. All you need to open the Tower Bridge is to email them at least 24 hours before and they are legally obliged to open it for you, as long as you have a mast of 30ft., or 9 m. It takes approximately five minutes for the Tower Bridge to open and close, and if you were to have perhaps a five-ten minute break in between each one, it would be entirely feasible for this to happen.
Long live the Silly Billy King!
👏👏👏😊
@@xGatorchomp28xso… piss off all the people trying to use the bridge and cause bad traffic etc.
Sounds like a kind of selfish a hole move so wouldnt surprise me if he did that.
You should fr put Delta Force against the SAS.
I was imagining this after the SAS video!! This is awesome!
Side note for those who don't know: The United States Marine Corps is not a special forces unit, but rather a branch of the 6 armed forces (USMC, USA, USAF, USSP, USN, USCG).
The SAS (Speacial Air Service) is a special force unit, but not necessarily a branch of the British armed forces.
You only listed FIVE there and what the hell is USSP? it's USSF and USCG is the one you forgot
@@joshb3906 I meant USSF
I don't know how I messed that up.
@joshb3906 I'm stupid, I have zero clue how I didn't put Coast Guard.
@@R.W.Raegan Don't worry. He actually hired random 8 guys.
Another note, they aren’t ex marines. Once a marine, always a Marine
Once a pawn always a pawn
I've heard that saying many times before, and the sentiment is nice but it's a bit dumb. There has to be a way to easily state whether or not someone is still active duty or not, and "ex-marine" is just the easiest way to say it.
Inactive Marine, former Marine, retired Marine are all acceptable. Retire for those that did at least 20 years. Former (shortened form of "formally active Marine" )
They have earned their right to be called a Marine forever and always. There is a reason they are the only branch in the USA (and UK IIRC) that meet or exceed their quota of recruits.
Cringe
ha gheyyyy
Good video, though I do think for the final challenge you should have had the US Marines & SAS face off while you & Preston cheered on your respective nations from the sidelines.
This was literally just the revolutionary war in paintball form
Bro is gonna hire the FBI to to follow all his subscribers for a week
BRO LET THE AMERICAN FLAG TOUCH THE GROUND 5:23
It'll wash out
It’s ok. Not everyone knows the flag code. We’re still better than our brothers over the pond(this video was rigged). I’d say he’s a patriot regardless.
@@JJunkAFunkbro you do realise that marine is not the best US soldiers ever right…
I love this concept. You could make a UA-cam series out of national war games with real national forces
Funny enough they actually do silly competitions all the time (especially UK and US and is actually set up and moderated by the two governments as like “war games”). As you would expect, US usually smokes them.
@@Dr.Pippen anywhere we can watch this? lol
And many of us would actually not expect the US to 'smoke them' ... the British military has a stellar reputation (especially SAS). 🙂
@@xGatorchomp28x the SAS is profound, but nothing compared to forces such as Delta, ISA, etc. SAS is more on the level of SEAL’s… I’m not sure where to watch. I’ve had quite a few buddies participate and show me videos and tell stories and I’ve seen a few clips here and there. They’re nothing like this video though. It’s pretty much military Olympics often using sim rounds, as opposed to paintball. From what I’ve been told, it usually narrows down into a personal tournament style with elimination rounds, coming down to 2 or maybe a few people in the end. Would love to know where to watch myself, but it’s not exactly a televised event. Mostly just soldiers being bored and fucking around in their spare time…
Who else thinks we need country vs country paintball matches like the war games the military holds
Now to the delta squad next
All the marines turning their heads in unison at “the us army” had me rolling
At 5:57 it looks like a couple of the marines got took some friendly fire in the first round.
Imagine a Max Fosh from the past like "Today i'm hiring 6 Vikings and 6 British foot soldiers to compete in hand to hand combat"
