El Alamein's Edges:

 Long Range: Remington Model 700 vs. Barrett M82A1:  The Barrett easily has the larger caliber round with its powerful .50 cal, which beats even the Winchester's powerful hunting rifle cartridges. The Remington's effective range of 800 m (going off its military equivalent, the M40, which uses the 7.62 round) is much, much lower than the Barrett's maximum range of 1800 m. Finally, the Barrett's 10-round box magazine is faster to reload and holds more than the Remington's 6-round internal magazine.

Edge: Colombian Scorpions

 Medium Range: M4A1 vs. AKM:  The M4 is a superior assault rifle than the AK. Its 5.56 round might not do as much damage per shot to its target, but its smaller size makes it more accurate and gives it a longer range. The AK is sloppily made, which affects its accuracy and reliability, making it the inferior weapon in this comparison.

Edge: Juarez Cartel

 Close Range: MP5 vs. Mini Uzi:  Both submachine guns fire the 9mm Parabellum round, and the Uzi's 32-round magazine is basically the same as the MP5's 30-round magazine. They also both have an effective range of 200 m. However, the MP5's faster rate of fire (800 rds/min vs. 600 rds/min) will allow the Juarez Cartel to keep their enemies suppressed more easily, and with theier greater combat experience and superior tactics, they'll be able to employ that advantage well in a firefight.

Edge: Juarez Cartel

 Explosives: C4 vs. Grenade Launcher:  While the C4 is certainly versatile, as it can be remote-detonated for maximum effect, the Grenade Launcher is more portable, has longer range, and can be reloaded for multiple shots. Once you detonate your C4, you don't get to "reload" it. The Grenade Launcher is simply a more accessible and combat-practical weapon.

Edge: Colombian Scorpions

WINNER: JUAREZ CARTEL

Easy win for the Juarez Cartel. Not only do they dominate every single X-Factor, but their superior rifles and submachine guns will let them make mincemeat out of their opponents. I doubt that the Colombian Scorpions have military-grade training that would allow them to utilize things like the ridiculous range of their Barrett with any degree of efficiency, meaning that the Juarez Cartel has the edges where they count. That's what gets them the victory here.
