Ultimate Soldier Competition

[Forever_frost]

Has anyone else seen this? New show and this week it put the 82nd against the IDF vs Blackwater. First challenge was sawing down watch towers with a 240B, quick response shooting and something I haven't seen yet because it still has about 20 minutes left. It's brilliant and next week has U.S. Rangers vs. British RAF Regiment:

is this similar to what Special Ops Mission was on military channel I believe

It was OK at best.

I liked the knife fight, and am liking the simunition round

It's a glorified, televised training session. The guy from the 82nd with a Mohawk and facial hair? The show's a joke.


Edit: It is a shitty version of top shot, IMO.

Yeah, I've spent 20 minutes trying to figure that out. That's not in regs at all. Ex 82nd?

There was something else that happened on that show that bothered me. I don't remember what it was. Kinda bothered me that one of the 82nd guys immediately put his finger on the trigger when he picked up the 1911.

Did you want to give him CPR?

It was probably the simunition finale where not one of the opfor could hit the side of a battleship and they had just said "watch out, these guys can shoot."

That's what it was! It said these guys can shoot, and at that instant it showed a guy holding an AK, stock resting on top of his shoulder.

You don't actually expect OPFOR to hit the guys do you? That'd take out the guys and the show would crater. I would like to see all 3 teams put on the map with ammo and told to take out the other guys. Last man standing wins.
