Let's see shall we

Melee

Both have a similar purpose but the Machete just brings the longer blade.

Edge: Pablo Escobar

Mid Range

The Colt has the range, not that it's particularily important given where they are fighting and also the larger and more powerful round. The Norinco meanwhile brings an extra bullet, which doesn't seem like much but could be key in a close firefight. Neither really has a huge advantage in these areas though so I'm calling it a tie.

Edge: Even

Long Range

The Uzi is utterly outclassed here. The PPSh-41 fires the more powerful round, at a faster rate of fire with more bullets and greater accuracy over a greater distance. If that doesn't scream overkill then I don't know what does.

Edge: Khun Sa

Special Weapon

The M60 has the range advantage but we can disregard that because of the tightly packed location the battle is taking place in. It brings a more powerful round but is also prone to jamming which is a major issue in the middle of a firefight. The QJY-88 is more reliable, has the higher muzzle velocity and a higher rate of fire all better qualities in a machine gun than a deadlier round (especially since none of them are wearing armour).

Edge: Khun Sa

Final Verdict

This is very similar to another battle I voted on earlier, Stormtroopers vs Villistas, in that the victory is decided not by the weapons but by the people wielding them. Pablo himself might lack much formal training but the Medellin Cartel members he brings with him are basically a paramilitary group. Khun Sa is better trained and experienced than the Cartel members will be but this doesn't extend to his troops who will be woefully underprepared for a firefight. Escobar actually has the disadvantage in terms of weaponry but the quality of the people behind the weapon is much greater and that is what pulls him through to victory.

Pablo Escobar: 3,000

Khun Sa: 2,000
