I wasn't disputing that guns are much better weapons, I think that if fairly self evident. I am saying that if guns weren't lethal and just did damage instead swords would be more valuable in comparison. With RPG mechanics players can dodge, block and parry bullets with swords. Not to mention shrug off a few hits.

The same thing could be said for any weapon even swords, if they weren't lethal they wouldn't be as effective in war.

Think of it this way, the bullet will do the same damage regardless, and move at the same speed. If you are superhuman a sword will do much more damage and be swung much faster. A sword 'scales' much more if you were to increase the durability, strength and speed of the weapon users.

Guns scale right along with the user just like swords do. With increased speed they can pull their weapon up quicker, take aim faster, reload faster, and shot faster. with increased durability they take greater amounts of punishment in a hostile situation.

RPG characters always slash with their swords, silly.

Your right they always slash,I forgot about that. Now that I think about it why is it that you hardly ever see RPG characters stab.
