Appelmonkey's "Cocaine and Moonshine" Edges

Machete vs. Baseball Bat: I have a usual formula for these kinds of things, it goes blade > blunt. So the machete is better than the bat. Sure it's shorter, but it's also lighter and can make people bleed to death. Edge: Pablo Escobar

M1911 vs. Swan-off Shotgun: Shotguns are powerful up close, but really lack accuracy. The M1911 is less powerful, but I'd rather have an accurate gun rather than a powerful gun. Edge: Pablo Escobar

Mini Uzi vs. Thompson SMG: The Thompson has the bigger caliber bullets, and faster rate of fire, but the Mini-Uzi has the larger magazine, range, and faster muzzle velocity. In the end I am going to give it to the Mini-Uzi for it's greater range, but barely. Edge: Pablo Escobar

Car Bomb vs. Mk 2 Grenade: The car bomb is powerful, really powerful, and while that can be a benefit for Escobar, this could certainly backfire. Some of Escobar's own men, or maybe even Escobar himself, could get caught in the blast. Then there is the problem that a car can't go everywhere. The battle could move into a building, or in an alleyway way to small for a car. The Mk2 grenade is less powerful, but it's way easier to use. Edge: Al Capone

X-Factors: Escobar mostly did petty crimes before becoming the leader of his own crime organization while Capone was an enforcer. Clearly, Capone has more experience, but this is the only thing he has over his Columbian enemy. Pablo is more wealthy and thus could afford better quality weapons for his men, and had his men train to the point they were a paramilitary group. Brutality is the point where both men are equal. Sure Capone left people alive, but only because doing otherwise would hurt his business. Edge: Pablo Escobar

Deadliest Criminal Mastermind: Pablo Escobar! Suprise, surprise, Pablo wins, but not without reason of course. Pablo has more modern weaponry than Capone thanks to the time gap between the two. Secondly, and most importantly, is his troops. The cartel members have been trained to the point they are a paramilitary group and frequently fight with the cops and other cartels. In the end, I just see no way for Capone to win. Hopefully, Al will like his new necktie to go with his smile.
