MoA's edges:

Short Range: Tokarev TT-33 vs. Colt M1911. The good ol' Colt may be reliable and may have stood the test of time but it has become antiquated in comparison to newer firearms. As Elgb said, the superior capacity and ballistics of the Tokarev give it the edge.

Edge: Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan

Mid Range: AK-47 vs. Mini Uzi. An assault rifle easily beats out a sub-machine gun. Superior range and stopping power are enough alone to give the weapon the edge. Plus, this is the good ol' AK we're talking about. It's going to be much more reliable than any cheap Uzi the cartel could get their hands on.

Edge: Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan.

Long Range: RPK vs. M60. While the M60 may have superior capacity, I actually favor the RPK in this scenario. The cartel will be using a bootleg M60 most likely, one that will be prone to jamming, a reliability issue that the Uzbeks won't have to worry about. Also, despite the M60's superior stopping power, I would imagine that the RPK and its smaller, more compact magazine are lighter than that luggy thing.

Edge: Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan

Special: Hunting Knife vs. Machete. This must be one big hunting knife if it's the size of a machete. I would probably go with the hunting knife though. Seems more versatile and lethal. Plus, it was actually designed for killing as opposed to the machete which was designed for the shrubbery.

Edge: Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan

Explosive: RPG-7 vs. Car Bomb. The car bomb lacks any practical use in a firefight. The explosion is difficult to control and requires a detonator. The RPG-7 can be aimed (therefore. controlled) and it does not require a detonator. Need I say more?

Edge: Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan

Overall Winner: Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan

Get outta here, cartel. A bunch of rich druggies with cheap weaponry against actual insurgents that have gone through full scale wars? No, no. The IMU takes this hands down. Their weaponry is more rugged, more reliable and far more suited to combat than the cartel's.
