Probably the Marines if they had some defensive possition and the British Army couldn't rush them.

By entire British Army, I mean the entire British Army from the American Revolutionary War period, i.e. 1775 to 1781 versus 100 Modern Day United States Marines. Both have uncountable supplies of ammo. Both sides fight to the death.

Who wins?

100 marines means they could use heli and fux dem up

cannons AA lulz

Depends, what are each armed with?  Both with Single shots, Brits hands downa s the Marines arent trained in them

I assume you mean each with thier period armory, in which case Marines have a massive advantage of full auto fire, far better range, and accuracy, and the training to supplement it.  However if it was 100 vs entire army at one time, theyd lose, quality over quanitity only can work so far.

marksman made the difference in the Independence war and it would again.
guerrilla style warfare would be the best choice for the marines

Using guerilla warfare or a rolling battle field scenario the marines would stand a chance. A stand up battle, the odds are just too highly stacked against them... they have to reload some time.

They couldn't possibly engage enough enemies at once to win a war using guerilla tactics...but they wouldn't be beaten either.

EDIT: Oh, and inb4aftersparta.

You bastard!

Haha fuck you all except seremaker the marines would win.

Marines. By far. Reasons being:

1) The british stood in a fucking line. A FUCKING LINE. I know it's the 18th century, but COME ON. They couldn't think of something better than standing in a fucking open field?

2) Superior firepower. Amazing aiming.

3) Snipers.

4) M240.

5) Kevlar.

6) Overall knowledge.

7) If the Brits didn't have cannons or artillery, they'd be so fucked against the marines.

P.S. For the sake of argument, neither sides have artillery, or in the Marines' case, helis, tanks, or armored vehicles.
P.P.S. Both armies are armed with the weapons from their own time period.
