Guns, even though they should be the alpha weapons without question they always end up weak as shit in most fantasy games.
Hell not just in most games but other media also.
There was a time when the rate of fire was so slow and bayonets so crappy that if a bunch of dudes with melee weapons got within melee range of you you were kind of fucked. IE Highland Charges during the Jacobite Rebellions. Imagine hundreds, or thousands, of Scottish dudes charging you in wedge formations, usually downhill, firing the guns they had at you in a volley, dropping the guns, taking your volley in response by ducking as low to the ground as they could, then screaming and finishing the charge by taking the point of your bayonet on their targe (type of shield) and then gutting you with either a broadsword or dirk.
