LAPD SWAT VS US Marine Corps?

Question

Who would win in close quarter armed combat?

Answer 1

Just try LAPD SWAT against the USMC Recon squads, let alone the rest of the Marine Corps. Sure, LAPD may have the best SWAT team in the world, but Force Reconnaissance units are considered to be special forces, right up alongside the SAS, SEALs and SFOD-D.

I want to see an LAPD SWAT cop take down an SAS veteran.

Answer 2

Marines have a bit more leave way in killing a bad man; I think you'd want to bet on the Marines.

Answer 3

Depends on the scenario. Each organization is extremely effective in their own element, but would be like a fish out of water if suddenly placed into the other group's territory. One deals with law enforcement within a civilian population where criminal suspects are to be captured alive (if possible) while causing no harm to innocents, the other deals with neutralizing enemy military combatants (*external* threats) where one can shoot to kill without fair warning and some collateral damage to the enemy's civilians is considered acceptable. Two completely different and incompatible philosophies. If a battle between the two were to take place in an urban scenario with all their resources at their disposal, the SWAT team would lose because the Marines would seek their objective without worrying about destroying anything that gets in their way, whereas the SWAT team has to worry about following all kinds of legalities. But if a group of renegade Marines were to operate completely on their own within a country and without a government to provide them with supplies or support from outside (like a paramilitary organization), a SWAT team would stalk, surround, and eventually pick them off one by one until all of them are either dead or in jail.

Answer 4

well Marines have bombs sooo i believe they would just level the whole battlefield and win.

Answer 5

It would make more since if you ask who would win LAPD SWAT VS Navy SEAL. the swat is more like special forces of the police force.

Answer 6

well thats a tough one because they are highly trained. In close quarter combat it depends if its just a squad or a fireteam. SWAT uses sheilds while the marines don't. SWAT uses different weapons from shotguns, assualt rifle to pistols,frags , the marines us the M16A2 or M16A4, service pistol, frags, and K-bar. The M16 rifle isn't that good of a rifle when at close range.

Overall i consider it to be a draw between SWAT and the Marine Corps

Answer 7

The marines would Win!! I doubt a swat team could deal with a few attack copters!!

Answer 8

LAPD SWAT is the best swat team in the world so i think they would win
