Shuddup Surgeons, that knight in shining armour was so 13th Century. This is the bloody 18th century they're talking about, get with the times

Also, I'm more amazed at how a stupid topic like this gets 3 pages

Oh ok 4 now thanks to me

Well here's the deal.


Brits:

Old Muskets with poor acuracy and range.


Marines:

Best Marksmen in the world

They have body armor

They have l33t guns

One of the best trained military branches in the world.





So if all the brits attacked at one. The Marines would eventually be overrun.

But if the Brits attacked in small groups like in a real war. The USMC would eventually win. And probably with no losses.



Either way the K/D ratio of the battle would be at least 150:1 for the USMC!



EDIT:


Actually Poseidon wrapped it up pretty good on that.

1. Best marksman in the world... Of America.
2. Why would the British army attack in small groups? They know their only advantage is having 1000 times more soldiers.

ok ok, imagine this.

10'000 soldiers lined up, LINED UPP!!!!! FFS


So you have at least 10 USMC M240 + 5 M249 gunners.  YOU WOULD BE FUCKING FUCKED!!!! I mean seriously, you can just hold the trigger down and mow from left to right.

Then anybody standing would be taken out by snipers or regular M16A4+ACOG infantry.

I mean, even if they rushed em, it'd be in an open field, the USMC have at least 500m of space to reak havoc before the Brits could even start shooting. Imagine the slaughter. And you think, anybody thinks, the Brits would win? LOL

Don't get me wrong, I respect the Uk alot, a very lot. But we're talking 1776 infantry vs 2008 infantry.

You know this thread is just copied from other forums mate. Google it, it's like a new fad. In one it says the Brits had 100 000. That's a lot to shoot, lets say within 800m.

No lets go with 1000m.


100 000 men running from 1000m to the marines. The marines have 100 guns firing. Someone do the maths.

Yes but the Marines have snipers and claymores and M203 and LMGs. This also means M2 Ma Deuce .50 machine guns, since you can carry them around and mount em on tripods. THAT'S LIKE A FUCKING SLAUGHTER.



You can't put 100'000 tropps within 800m, and they have to come from somewhere.

Sniper's don't pack enough firepower. Max 5 kills in 10 seconds?

Don't forget reload times.

But yeah snipers I can't see making a big difference. The only way would be with mass explosives and Everyman carrys either a SAW or a .50 on a tripod.

Considering that the Marines would be armed with M40A3s, scoped M14s, M16A4s(all with ACOGS), M249s, and M240s they could wipe out half the British force before their muskets were in range of the Marines.

So then you're saying after they've wiped out half of the British they'd get hit with 50 000 metal balls? And still think the Marines would win?

Believe it or not muskets kill.

Modern day infantrymen pack roughly the firepower of 100 or more men form the revolutionary war period. So I'm gonna say Marines, dug in position or even on the move with M249's, M240's, M16's, not to mention GL's. Kills per Marine are gonna be much higher than the 1775 British Army soldier. In terms of training as well, hand to hand, marksmanship, camouflage, tactics etc.

Realistically seen the brits would flee before they came in range tbh. the explosions and massive carnage while they're running would be terrifying.

100 x 100 is 10 000

With robots on each side, British. The psychological effect of at least a third of your force dying before even getting remotely in accurate range of the muskets...that might give the marines a fighting chance.

My answer is the battle of isandlwana.

The british got their asses handed to them with a bunch of sticks.

And that was 20 to 1.

Honestly, The british would win.

The Marines wouldn't fight like the British would. They would keep falling back to stay out of range of the muskets. The British could only fire their weapons accurately from distances of 50-100 yards while the Marines could accurately engage them from distances of 200-400 yards with the M16s. And with the sniper rifles, they could engage the British from distances of 800-1000+ yards. The Marines would be doing all this behind cover as well instead of just standing in the middle of the field asking to be shot. One Marine sniper could take out the British commander with one shot from a M107 .50 cal from a mile away.
