30's style gangsters vs today's style gangster
If you mean "today's style gangster" as in Bloods, Crips, etc., then I can already tell you that Capone's boys would have a massive edge right off the bat for the simple fact that they knew how to properly hold & aim a fucking gun. More on reddit.com

is it true that 1930's American gangsters wore suits and dressed what we would call "fancy" today?
People dressed up to leave the home for no reason back then. That was the style people wore. You never wore sweats out of the home that’s for sure. More on reddit.com

May 31, 2013 -

The location is familiar to both sides as this is their "turf". Both sides feels that it is time to determine who will rule the territory, so both sides strikes at the same time. Using the weapons, vehicles, and tactics of their era. In no way is one side or the other able to use each others weapon or vehicles. Tactics on the other hand can be learned from each other so this should up the ante a bit. Are the old ways nastier than todays gang or will the raw viciousness and todays technologies put the old timers in their place? Oops looks like both sides have just torched one of the other sides buildings. Let the debate begin.

Edit: Thank you dimmubehemothwatain for pointing out the different gangs. In this scenario I was thinking more of the Al Capone, "Pretty Boy" Floyd or Bonnie and Clyde type gangster vs a street gang like the Crips or Bloods.
