I do know how summoning works. And Archer, in fact, has memories so much that he compare Gae Bolg with Odin's Spear Gungnir. But i am not tali,g about memories, because another person here have his memories *watch Saber*

The problem is that Counter Guardians are members of the Counter Force. They are his... how to say, main body? I know that Alaya shall summon CG in their true body, but the thing is that when Archer face Sakura, you said it : it was as a Counter Force. It was as a Counter Guardian, buffed and all.

Same goes for Primate Murder: Counter Guardians need to be seven to contain him, and Nasu compare said CG as servants in term of power, because it's not about method but power level that we talk here (containing PM). And all the counter force could wipe out humanity. Not a counter guardian, but the counter force. All of them against just one Grand Caster.

Technically, Gaia couls also summon Heroic Spirits if she wanted to (and it's how she summon usually Grand Servant to face the beast), but yeah the Holy Grail is just some kind of Copy-past that copy a heroic spirit soul and put him in a vessel. Howeever, in term of abilites, they have counter guardians power. The only problem they have is prana, which make all the difference in power: When you have unlimited prana (almost), yeah Archer could wipe out the city with a good spamming of Caladbolg. Like any servant with unlimited prana XD.
