119's "Your Suit Would Look Better with a Columbian Necktie" Edges:

Melee: A baseball bat can make for a nasty bludgeoning weapon, but the machete is an edged weapon, primarily designed for slashing though you could theoretically thrust with it as well. Cutting and stabbing wounds tend to cause much greater trauma and are more likely to kill. Edge: Pablo Escobar

Short-Range: This one is a bit unusual seeing as both of them would have access to M1911s, but at any rate, the M1911 is a reliable handgun designed for combat. The sawed-off shotgun is a repurposed hunting shotgun. While the shotgun is more powerful at close range, it can only fire two shots and is slower to reload, meaning that the user is more likely to be caught without a round in the chamber. Not to mention, while the M1911 is not as powerful as a shotgun, the .45 ACP is no slouch in terms of stopping power, and can easily put a man down with a well-placed shot, let along multiple shots. Edge: Pablo Escobar

SMGs: The clash of two iconic submachine guns. The Thompson fires a more powerful round and may have a slightly higher rate of fire, but it loses out to the Uzi in range, as well as another important feature. The Uzi is far shorter and handier in close quarters, while the Thompson is much longer. For instance, during the Six-Day War, Israeli troops with Uzis clearing Syrian fortification in the Golan Heights proved more effective than their AK-toting Syrian counterparts thanks to the close-quarters mobility and small size of their Uzis. The Thompson (particularly the 1928 variant Capone would have used) is only slightly shorter than a AK-47, and, in the close confines of the inside of a hotel, the Uzi will have a similar advantage against the Thompson as it did against the AK in 1967. Slight Edge: Pablo Escobar

Explosives: A car bomb isn't going to be much use inside a hotel, unless Escobar wants to bring the building, or at least a portion of it, down with him inside it. The Mark II frag grenade is a much more effective weapons for close combat. Edge: Al Capone.

X-Factors: While Capone might (keyword might) have a bit more personal combat experience than Escobar, Pablo Escobar had the money to pay and equip heavily armed mercenaries with better training and equipment than your average mafia thug. Add in the sheer brutality of the Medellin cartel, and Escobar has another advantage here.

Overall Winner: Pablo Escobar takes the victory thanks to the superior firepower of his more modern weapons and the superior training and experience of the mercenaries he was able to hire with his massive amount of wealth.
