Is this correct, or am I missing something?

Other folks have commented on many relevant aspects, but let me clarify one more thing that has been stated but not explicitly:

GURPS CP are not an accurate measure of character power (whatever that is)

They are kinda balanced for balancing the spotlight time of wandering violent squad-based troubleshooters ... but it's a rough balance. Very rough. Don't count on it to force your players to make appropriate PCs all on its own. Making sure that the PCs are good fits for the game is part of the GM's job.
