I remember a tidbit from the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive loading screen saying that the federal GSG-9 group only has fired shots on five missions throughout their existence. Wikipedia seems to back this up with some reportedly true information[1].

I wonder if the GSG and other special units see the use of violence as a colossally embarassing failure.

"That tactical team couldn't even do their job right and had to resort to shooting the guy."

Gunfire means high probability of failure.
