Not even the witness protection program can protect you from us.

Most badass in what sense?

The Russians and most gangs would kill you or get their money back, it makes no difference to them.. The Italians won't kill you unless they have to; they're a business.

They are thought of by the public as the most violent by far, and have better access to weapons than most other organized crime groups due to the fact that they own russia, and by extension all the fun old soviet hardware that is lying around over there.

I think the deal is that they never had to be covert about what they do - the italian mob and the japanese yakuza both have to operate underneath their respective societies or face major police/government/FBI crackdown. The Russians just own the government and the police so they don't really have to worry.

WW1 was trench warfare... youre about 100 years off from the extinction of "napoleonic warfare".
