You can make a case for high alpha being overpowered when looked at in conjunction with shots-to-kill as opposed to simple DPS.

Lets say dudes have 10hp and two guns: one does 5 damage at each second. one does 3 damage every half second. 5dps vs 6dps
The higher alpha gun will kill you on two hits, comprising 1 second of getting hit. The other needs 4 hits which means he needs 1.5 seconds to kill you. A 7 DPS gun which did all of its damage every second as well wouldn't be any better than the 5dps gun.
Obviously this averages out with larger HP values, but it's important to remember: Averages don't always tell the whole story.
