Very good points, not to mention the fact that the Alfa Group's weapons are reliable, robust, and simple. They do what they're meant to do and they do it efficiently. The GSG-9 brings in German engineering to its finest, but it's so finely specialized that they can't effectively operate outside of counter-terrorism. The Alfa Group is a military group and nine times out of ten a military group will beat a paramilitary one.
