Guns Are Worthless	comment	Firearms are the best personal weapons humanity has developed to date. Their cost-efficiency, lethality, range, and passable ease of use is unmatched. However, such ruthless efficiency doesn't usually serve fictional plots very well. For the sake of drama, if a hero's access to guns is unavoidable in a fictional milieu, writers will tend to use the plot to defang their effectiveness. Perhaps the enemy is supernatural or has an alien physiology, and thus resistant to projectile weapons. Perhaps your shots always miss because the enemy is just too fast or nimble. Perhaps they have superior technology, either in shielding, wielding even better projectile weapons than the protagonists, or both. Perhaps there's an ammo shortage, making every firing precious. Perhaps the heroes simply aren't trained in effective gun use. Perhaps said enemy is magically shielded and just can sip a drink as you waste bullets. Perhaps it's a mental enemy. Other than shooting yourself in the head, guns do not help here. Whatever the method, there will be some reason why the problem can't be solved with a few judicious headshots. For these reasons, this trope is especially ubiquitous in the sci-fi, fantasy, and horror genres. In games, especially in settings where firearms would be Game Breakers but the "neato" factor is too great to ignore, this trope is often reflected in a reduction of firearm effectiveness and power compared to "standard" melee weapons, sometimes to the point where bludgeoning an enemy with a gun will do significantly more damage than actually shooting them with it. Additionally, in games where alternate ranged weapons like bows or crossbows are available, you can count on them to do far more damage per projectile than all but the most powerful guns. For context, even a 16th century musket◊ had some thirty times the kinetic energy of a longbow arrow or sword stroke, a massive disparity in firepower that is almost never represented in fiction. Again, ammunition also tends to be used as a limiting factor; a matchlock musket takes 30 to 60 seconds to reload, and a flintlock 15 to 20 seconds, while a sword or polearm never needs to be reloaded (at worst, they need the occasional sharpening). Or, the designers can make a preference for melee weapons a matter of practicality, as in "hack and slash" games, where being able to attack many foes around you in one quick motion would often be better than being able to only fire at a single enemy in front. It doesn't help that many games fail to model the possibility of overpenetration and One-Hit Polykill on the guns' end. Compare Arbitrary Gun Power, Never Bring A Knife To A Fistfight, and contrast Firearms Are Cowardly, The Gunslinger, The Lethal Connotation of Guns and Others, and Muggles Do It Better. See also Elegant Weapon for a More Civilized Age. Usually used to justify Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?.

Guns Are Worthless / int_101bfcd7	comment	In Sengoku Basara, arquebusier-wielding Mooks are frequent enemies; their bullets are visible, travel slow enough to dodge or even parry, and deal only slightly more damage than a mook sword. Magoichi and Nouhime are both gun users, and their guns are no more fatal than the assorted swords, bows, hammers, spears, rocks, fists and associated whatnots everyone else uses (they do have a range advantage though). Their bullets are also visible to the eye and dodge/blockable by enemies (except Magoichi's shotgun, which is practically a melee weapon anyway).

Guns Are Worthless / int_108cd205	comment	In the Wizardry series, Umpani has some firearms, which the PC can obtain and use, even as a secondary weapon. Guns do considerable damage, but unlike other ranged weapons have no Abnormal Ammo. And you need to spend actions to manually reload them after every shot — a valid requirement, but somehow isn't applied to any crossbows — so in average you get half of that damage and it sucks. The Umpani flamethrower and rocket launcher from Wizardry 8, on the other hand, are quite useful in the right situations, and one of the two main gimmicks of the player Gadgeteer class is their self-built Omnigun, which starts out as a pathetic sling-equivalent, and ends being able to fire just about anything you stick into it, including swords, to great effect.

Guns Are Worthless / int_1331990c	comment	Averted in Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Homura fights exclusively with non-magical guns and explosives, and is easily the most effective witch-killer. Though it still isn't enough to single-handedly beat Walpurgisnacht. Mami's magical guns are also very powerful. Sayaka does pretty well with just swords, but she mentions how dangerous it is to be so close to her opponent, especially when Homura is setting off bombs in its face. Fridge Brilliance suggests that Walpurgisnacht is just flat-out immune to non-magical attacks, which is why she doesn't have to hide inside a barrier like other witches. The idea that Homura simply had absolutely no chance of winning no matter what she did is rather in-theme for the series.

Guns Are Worthless / int_13998e73	comment	Another MMORPG example is MapleStory, whose Gunslinger class — one of the two Second Job options for a Pirate — carries flintlock pistols that never need to be reloaded, have a range of about 6 feet, and are pathetically weak (at least initially). The Gunslinger is considered so weak by most players that the other job branch for Pirate, the Brawler, who wields increasingly elaborate BRASS KNUCKLES, is the more popular choice by a landslide. Arguably averted in later levels, as the Gunslinger is a Magikarp Power class that becomes one of the highest damaging classes in the game. The "arguably" part comes from the fact that a lot of that damage comes from summoning a personal battleship, but the gun's stats still factor in.

Guns Are Worthless / int_1869a077	comment	A number of foes in Samurai Jack have attempted to use guns on him. None have even managed to put a scratch on him, as he moves so quickly he can dodge their bullets and get up close enough to strike with his sword. This includes a hillbilly sheriff who tried a gatling gun. The only enemies who have ever inflicted serious damage to Jack are all either blade wielders or hand-to-hand combatants. This trope is best exemplified in "Robo Samurai vs. Mondo-Bot," where Mondo-Bot, having exhausted all of its projectiles to no effect, resorts to an old-fashioned sword and suddenly puts up a challenge for Jack. This was finally averted in "The Good, The Bad, and The Beautiful". The Clenches, an estranged team of western-themed bounty hunters, have Jack on the ropes for the entire episode. He can barely defend himself, let alone fight back, and The Clenches would have won had Josephine not pulled a You Have Outlived Your Usefulness on Zeke. The Scotsman's leg gun has also been shown to be extremely effective.

Guns Are Worthless / int_1af341a1	comment	In Disgaea guns are a 'trick' weapon, with its primary bonus being that it damages based on your HIT stat and drops speed, making them the primary weapon against dodging enemies. They fall behind axes, swords and possibly also bows in damage, and have a range of 4 to 5 — the same as the movement range for most offensive melee-classes. They also have no area-of-effect attacks, which makes them pretty bad for Level Grinding in Cave of Ordeals 3, and since they're based on Hit rather than Atk you can't as easily swap them for a sword. On the magic side, there is no spell for increasing Hit, while there is one for Atk. They were also nerfed in the second game, in which they can only fire in a straight line (the four cardinal directions) The third game is where they got changed up, now running off of HIT and SPD. Many of their skills were now Area of Effect, making grinding much less of a chore. The fourth game gave them an exclusive evility that expanded their range, giving them attack range like a bow. (Said evility is in the fifth game as well.)

Guns Are Worthless / int_1b35b3a3	comment	Played straight in regards to the enemies, though. The most powerful enemies the military can deploy against Mercer are essentially huge wrestlers, and sure enough their wrestling moves do more damage to Mercer than tank shells and stinger missiles (and by quite a margin, too). In [PROTOTYPE 2] an early-game upgrade gives Heller a shield that makes him completely invulnerable against military weapons — only boss-tier Infected enemies with powerful melee attacks can bust through it — and a later upgrade makes it so anything smaller than an autocannon round simply bounces off his chest even without the shield deployed.

Alexis, who starts the game dual-wielding pistols, deals less damage than either Markus or David would with two Switchblades, and the gap only grows bigger when you obtain upgraded pistols and melee weapons. Downplayed with assault rifles: while they deal less damage then melee weapons of similar tier, they compensate for that due to attacking all enemies at once.

One Angel episode suggests vampires are quite apt at dodging bullets, as Wesley tried to gun down Angelus. He may have been missing intentionally because at the time he was attempting a Batman Gambit, but he would also know that it wouldn't kill him and Angelus could quite likely have been captured after a shotgun slowed him down.

Guns Are Worthless / int_227a9bb9	comment	Guns are notoriously unreliable weapons in the world of The Coldfire Trilogy because the Background Magic Field has Your Mind Makes It Real qualities even for muggles. Attempt any technological procedure too complex for the naked eye to follow every step (like say, firing a gun) and your doubts and fears will infect the process and have a high chance of causing something to go wrong. Consequently, most people in this world go for simpler weapons and only use guns if they've been heavily enchanted to work right. The exception is Gerald Tarrant, who always carries a perfectly mundane pistol as a show of self-confidence and power, since it means that his will is so strong and disciplined he can use it without fear.

The Otomo clan's Donderbuss Cavalry does not have this limitation, although the Otomo in general practically have disagreeing with this trope's name as their hat — if the Otomo somehow manage to hold off the two clans they start at war with, as well as the aggressive and expansionist Shimazu, then their armies and ships bristling with matchlocks become a formidable force indeed.

Yet, when theyâ€™re first fought, they still deal roughly the same damage per turn as what Talan and Arden can inflict with a wrench and a knife, respectively. Similarly, Upgraded Walker robots appear to carry twin gatling guns on their back, yet they still inflict barely twice the damage that regular Security Walkers do. For reference, if Talan is Level 8 and decked out in appropriate gear, thatâ€™s 6 damage versus 3, with full health being 79. Oh, and Red Wylden, a monster on the other side of the river, will inflict around 9 with regular two-handed swords.

Guns Are Worthless / int_2ba1d958	comment	Played with in The Matrix. Firearms are very, very useful when it comes to dealing with ordinary humans inhabiting the eponymous virtual reality like policemen or soldiers. However, they are definitely less efficient when wielded by the latter against the resistance fighters — who, being aware that they are in virtual world, can bend its rules and accomplish feats impossible for normal human (during famous scene with shootout in the lobby, an entire platoon of soldiers fired at Neo and Trinity from assault rifles and shotguns for three minutes straight and failed to score a single hit). When it comes to Agents, their superhuman speed makes firearms pretty much useless against them in most situations, as they simply dodge all the bullets fired at them. Still, they can be hit in right circumstances, such as shooting them point-blank (thus giving them zero time to dodge) or spraying so many bullets that it's impossible to evade them all (for example, by unleashing a Gatling gun on them).

The basic Security Guards appear to be equipped with guns, yet they still inflict less damage then Carter does with a Scalpel and the Rover with a Maintenance Laser. Firearm-wielding Replicant Soldiers and Captains will also inflict damage roughly comparable to Carter's melee attacks. However, a boss-level sword-equipped Sigmoid is significantly weaker than rank Hover-Gunner Droids: they easily inflict 18-24 damage with bursts of gunfire and 40 with missiles, while heâ€™s lucky to get 9 damage per attack.

Guns Are Worthless / int_2ea6ae26	comment	Star Trek: Picard: Energy weapons are useless against the Qowat Milat because those who have undergone the order's training can dodge multiple projectiles, as Elnor does in "Nepenthe" when he confronts Narissa and her minions. With his Super-Reflexes and his tan qalanq, he can turn any firefight into a Never Bring a Gun to a Knife Fight situation, and his rivals end up as bloodied corpses before they even lay a scratch on him. In Season 1, the only time Elnor is vulnerable is in "Broken Pieces", when the Romulan soldiers have finally learned that this trope applies to him, so they ditch their disruptors and engage in hand-to-hand combat after they temporarily blind him with a flashbang grenade, which disorientates Elnor to the point where his speed advantage is negated.

Guns Are Worthless / int_30450a9a	comment	Alien: Isolation sets itself apart from every other Alien franchise video game by being a survival-horror game with an emphasis on avoiding combat as much as possible. There are guns, and they can kill, but you will quickly learn that using them often carries more risk than reward. While organizations like the Colonial Marines are equipped with automatic and heavy weapons that are specifically designed to take out light-armored enemies, Sevastapol is a civilian-owned facility and its marshals use weapons and ammunition with the lowest possible risk of causing a hull breach, which is unfortunately exactly the kind of firepower needed to kill a xenomorph. At best, Ripley gets a 6-cylinder revolver, a 4-shell shotgun, and a jury-rigged bolt gun- none of which deal any damage to the xenomorph (who will kill you the moment it touches you), and all of which will alert it to your presence. There are only 2 uses for the guns- killing hostile civilians and destroying hostile Working Joes. In either case, distracting them is better, while sneaking past them is the best option. At best, the flamethrower shines as the only weapon (besides explosives) that will scare the xenomorph off... as long as you have fuel.

It takes about twenty shots from it to down most mooks that can be Action Command auto killed with a single button. While functionally pointless against even average mooks, it comes in so handy when fighting flying demons, or picking off/wearing down creatures when on horseback while you charge in to hit them with your sword.

Most of the Homunculi have a Healing Factor from their Philospopher's Stones, and healing a headshot takes less effort than healing being blown apart, sliced in half or incinerated. Apart from that, Greed can harden his skin, Sloth is strong enough that tank shells are little more than an annoyance, and Wrath is fast and skilled enough to dodge gunfire. Riza Hawkye, a skilled sniper, gets annoyed when Ed warns her that her guns are useless against the "immortal army" of mannequin soldiers with Philosopher's Stones inside them, lamenting that it's an all too common situation for her.

Guns Are Worthless / int_3314d9a2	comment	Valkyria Chronicles II has a bit of this. While most classes of soldiers use guns or rocket launchers that are usually pretty effective against each other, the Tech superclass uses melee weapons and a shield that can deflect essentially all gunfire minus a couple of late-game/DLC weapons (shooting them from behind, where their shield doesn't cover, is a lot more effective). The Fencer/Fencer Elite specializations of the Tech class, which wield BFSes, can take out almost any infantry unit in one swing while classes that use guns would take several shots to accomplish the same thing (most classes can fire more than one shot per command point, but it could still take multiple CP to take out a high-defense or crouched target). Fencers have very low movement to compensate for their tank-like defense and virtually-guaranteed One-Hit KOs, however, so they aren't completely broken.

Guns Are Worthless / int_34170b02	comment	In the Samurai Warriors and Warriors Orochi games, it depends on the particular game; Saika Magoichi in Samurai Warriors uses this instead of a bow for his first-person shooting, it in fact being needed to unlock part of his story and final weapon, while Ishikawa Goemon uses a back-mounted cannon. In Samurai Warriors 2 the first-person aspect is gone, but Magoichi, Tokugawa Ieyasu and Date Masamune have on-command shots — individually little damage and hard to aim but semiautomatic, able to interrupt enemies, and eventually able to go through enemies (potentially hitting other enemies). In Warriors Orochi the on-command shots are traded for Magoichi's close-range "shotgun" blast attack, Ieyasu's energy beam (which doesn't really subvert the trope by not being a 'proper' shot), and Masamune's pair of attacks where he goes airborne and fires a barrage all around. Unfortunately, these (like all on-command projectiles) are nerfed in Warriors Orochi by losing the ability to interrupt or knock down enemies, so in that game the trope is partly played straight. However, in all of these games and their spin-offs the shots that are part of the characters' normal, charge, and Musou attacks depend on the character's level and (ranged) attack power. The rifles wielded by common mooks in Samurai Warriors and even in Warriors Orochi fire slowly and do negligible damage. However, their shots will knock you down/off your horse if they hit you, and have a long near-infinite range, making them very annoying enemies if nothing else. They also will always inflict a guard break with their shots.

In Bloodborne, guns are practically peashooters. In this fanfic, they hit like a friggin truck. The only downside of these guns is that they have to be reloaded every time a bullet is fired (because they are different from modern ones in Real Life). Since the gun users often fight in close-quarters combat, they have to rely on their melee weapons just as much.

Any Grimm tougher than Mook level can easily tank gunfire, while humans and Faunuses need to have their Aura depleted before they can be seriously hurt. As a result, most major battles revolve around melee attacks, which are typically more efficient at cutting through Grimm and Aura alike. Use of ranged weapons is generally limited to enhancing the wielders' movement via Recoil Boosts. Against weak Grimm or human(oid)s that are out of Aura, however, they can be much more deadly, as both Councilman Sleet and Jacques Schnee can attest.

While huge cannons rip through Titans easily due to Titans being Made of Plasticine, the Titan's Healing Factor doesn't let it keep them down for more than a few minutes, and while the have more than enough power to blow away the back of the Titans' necks, they're too heavy and inaccurate to do so outside of a lucky hit. However it is somewhat downplayed in that cannons are used effectively to slow down Titans and give civilians time to evacuate. Also, high-explosive shells are used to wipe out Titans in during the end of the Battle of Trost. And when Titans are sighted within Wall Rose, the Garrison used cannons to bring down Titans and let elite soldiers like Rico finish them off. Rifles, on the other hand, while light and accurate enough to hit the weak point, do not have enough power behind them to deal the fatal blow needed. As with cannons, however, they have shown to be useful in supporting those with 3DMG, and dealing damage to Titan's weaker parts, such as the eyes. It should also be mentioned that ballistic technology in this series is fairly archaic; probably about an 18th-to-early-19th century level (think Flintlock muskets and Smoothbore Cannons). Later revealed that the Central Branch of the Military Police has been suppressing technological development among the general populace as a means to maintain order within the walls. But they've got no qualms about using it themselves; their hit-squads are armed with revolvers and shell-cased bullets. Played straight with the Armored Titan whose armor plating is so strong that cannon shots do nothing to slow it down. The outside world averts this, though, especially after the 3-year Time Skip. The Union's field guns with armor piercing ammo managed to put some hurt into Armored Titan, they have access railway-mounted anti-Titan artillery, and their warships' guns ripped apart Armored Titan when he tried to shield Beast Titan.

Guns Are Worthless / int_41b0198a	comment	In The Dresden Files novel Proven Guilty, Harry advises against bringing guns on their expedition into Faerie because there are parts of Faerie where gunpowder is inert. Murphy and Thomas both bring guns into Faerie anyway and also carry melee weapons as well, and it turns out that firearms work just fine around Arctis Tor. For the most part though, this trope is averted. This is because of two main reasons. First several types of magic and creatures, like Faeries, are severely weak to iron, which is found in steel. Second in most cases a physical object has more power than magic (unless the magic is meant to block physical attacks) and any physical object breaking a Wizard or Warlock's magic circle stops the magic. Even characters with very powerful supernatural abilities will often carry guns and use them to good effect, and the main character points out that in some situations a gun is actually better than magic. There's also a more pragmatic reason: the very first Law of Magic is that Thou Shalt Not Kill a mortal with magic. Not only is using magic in this way inherently addictive, it will earn you the wrath of the Wardens - relentless wizard "cops" who enforce the Laws with Anti-Magic Cool Swords. Of course, as long as you're not killing with magic, the Wardens don't give a crap; hence guns. Wizards on Harry's level and above have what is called a Death Curse, used in the last moments of life and drawing all their power into one strike is something even the youngest Queens of Faerie are wary of dealing with. One hitman named Kincaid, who Harry has a business relationship with, tells Harry if he reneges on paying Kincaid's bill, he will avoid the Death Curse by sniping Harry from over 1000 yards away. Such a swift and unexpected death would make it impossible to cast his Death Curse back. The RPG goes on at some length about how guns will get the attention of even the supernaturals when they're brought out. While it might not have the flash of a fireball, or the power of a troll's fists, the description notes that few things convey the idea that someone is deadly serious like pulling out a gun. It is also because guns are so effective, drawing mortal forces, like the cops or military, is considered a Nuclear Option to the supernatural world. A clueless mortal with a pistol is an annoyance to, say, a Red Court vampire... But a squad of Army Rangers with assault rifles, machine-guns and grenades, who know what they're upp against and have time to plan, would quite likely kill the vampire and walk away without casualties.

When the heroes go up against monsters who are affected by bullets, the type of ammo generally matters — often silver is required to kill the Monster of the Week, although occasionally the requirement will be different, like blessed iron or something. One MacGuffin of the series is the Colt, a special gun with special bullets (at first) which is apparently able to kill anything (with the exception of Lucifer and four other beings), and it is the only projectile weapon the heroes acquire that's that effective. Strangely, a demon actually invented an angel-killing gun at one point... fired it twice, and then promptly forgot about it.

Guns could not be obtained until pretty late in the game, the troops took a long time to set them up, they were useless at close quarters and they were completely inoperable if it rained as this caused the powder to get wet. If your opponent attacked you then they got to choose the weather conditions, and would inevitably end up with a rainy option to cripple your gunners. If you attacked an opponent then they would get to choose their initial position, normally picking a tall hill to force gunners to get fairly close so that they could easily be charged or peppered with arrows before they were ready. In Total War: Shogun 2, matchlock-armed footsoldiers are fairly effective, though the technology requirement generally makes them strategically superfluous to most clans and the one gunner cavalry unit has to go through a very long reload time before they can fire at anything. The Otomo clan's Donderbuss Cavalry does not have this limitation, although the Otomo in general practically have disagreeing with this trope's name as their hat — if the Otomo somehow manage to hold off the two clans they start at war with, as well as the aggressive and expansionist Shimazu, then their armies and ships bristling with matchlocks become a formidable force indeed.

The reasoning goes as follows: Air surrogate and Applied Phlebotinum Shinsu has weird physical propertiesâ€¦ such as getting denser and more viscose the higher you climb the Tower. Living beings can adapt to these change, build a natural resistance against Shinsu and get stronger, so that their spears are more powerful. It needs to be mentioned that people get REALLY powerful while climbing the Tower. The power of guns, however, is limited, also they are quite expensive. And then there is that idiot that showed up for a death match with a literal marble shooter. Becomes more of a Subverted trope as the series goes on, since while the your gun doesn't get stronger as you climb, you can buy better guns (and other weapons in general) on higher floors. One of Aka William's teammates uses a gun without a problem, and during a fight, Ranker Lero Ro shows that shinsu-boost skills work on guns that fire shinsu. Reaches its natural conclusion with High Ranker Lo Po Bia Lefav, whose sniper-rifle can one-shot even other, way more powerful High-Rankers... at the cost of only being able to fire two shots per day.note Interestingly, because using a rifle falls into the long distance support role, she's still classified as a Spear Bearer.

Guns do retain an edge in range, for which the Fists skill notionally compensates by not needing a gun in the first place — genre-appropriately, it's expected that characters will be deprived of their weapons or at least opportunities to casually use them at least some of the time. And of course most pulp-style combat scenarios will be spending at least some amount of time at fisticuff range in any event.

The quirk here is that guns ignore defense, so a weak character can do a decent amount of damage to enemies if you get guns early in the game and you can do even more damage if you use elemental bullets on enemies that are weak to it. By the halfway point to the end of the game, your other characters will be strong enough to outclass gunners and attack faster since guns have a slow wait time. Not only that, but most enemies and bosses by this point will have a passive resistance to guns, making gunners do only a few hundred points in damage compared to the 2000 damage they were doing earlier in the game.

Guns Are Worthless / int_49a88442	comment	This is averted in Final Fantasy XIV where guns are exactly as effective as you'd think in a setting that holds somewhat close to reality, mostly held away by Fantasy Gun Control. Admiral Merlwyb is a crack shot with her dual pistols, and her bullets are treated as a One-Hit Kill when we see her fight, and if a boss uses a gun odds are it will be attached to one of their deadliest attacks (Captain Madison for example, will focus on a party member and shoot them until he takes enough damage or they die). Player Machinists are also expert marksmen with a slight tinting of The Engineer, though their bullets are mentioned to be ether compressed into physical form by their tool kits to justify Bottomless Magazines.

However, because he is an undead, the arquebus has no real effect on him, and he kills all the soldiers instead. In one episode of the anime, a princess is in love with Sesshomaru. When her father learns about it, he goes with his soldiers to shoot Sesshomaru with arquebus. Although Sesshomaru was severely injured from an earlier battle, he is still able to fend off the bullets effortlessly with just one attack. This is a fan theory with the youkai. In the anime you could only destroy youkai if you destroyed their "magic". Ordinary human weapons have not been able to do much against them.

Guns Are Worthless / int_4cd32aa7	comment	Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay zigzags this trope, depending somewhat on edition and campaign setting. Generally speaking, guns are the most damaging ranged weapon available to player characters, have a much higher Critical Hit rate and are also Armour Piercing, but they take a long time to reload, are inaccurate, noisy, prone to misfires and above all very rare and expensive for private citizens to acquire. Unless you start the game with a gun-wielding career like Soldier (your career is randomly generated), odds are good you'll go through an entire campaign without ever seeing one. Bows and crossbows, by contrast, are abundant and easy to purchase after an adventure or two.

In the final season, the Atavus, their more savage ancestors, are part-energy and are likewise unhurt by ballistic weaponry. Only energy weapons can hurt them, and it typically takes several shots from those (unless they're low on energy). But it's not until the Grand Finale that humans come up with Hand Cannons powerful enough to One-Hit Kill an Atavus.

Guns Are Worthless / int_526d4c5c	comment	Knights of the Old Republic is the virtual epitome of this trope; blasters are piss-weak and have barely more range than your arm (and level design often fails to give ranges higher than your elbow half the time).note You can see the maximum ranges given in the weapons' descriptions in the menu. Pistols get a max range of 23 meters, and rifles get a max of 28. This range is set in stone, and better blasters do not increase that range, even if they are explicitly described as a sniper rifle. This all the more insulting because ranged weapons are actually highly useful in the Star Wars d20 ruleset the game is supposedly based on. The lesson? Much like the prequel trilogy, it's all about the lightsabers, baby. The relative uselessness of blasters and the prevalence of melee weapons is explained by the recent proliferation of personal shields — which kind of falls flat given that there's no Gameplay and Story Segregation about this; if an enemy has a personal shield, they will actually use it. And most of them are damn near useless anyway, only protecting you from about two rounds' worth of attacks per charge. For that matter, lightsabers in KOTOR are ridiculously weak compared to what's seen in the movies and other non-game media. "Realistic" lightsabers should not bounce off your enemies like a nerf bat, and allow you to cut through that pesky Insurmountable Waist-Height Fence. While this trope is usually played straight, it is possible to make a highly effective blaster scoundrel Jedi by focusing on maximizing your number of attacks and using force powers to stun enemies for sneak attacks. Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, on the other hand, introduces powerful weapon upgrades and character combat feats that make long-range weapons perfectly comfortable for finishing the whole game with, enough that the Let's Play by Scorchy did play the whole game giving the PC nothing but dual pistols as soon as they were available. In fact, one of the most fun things to do is to recruit Mira on Nar Shaddaa, build her a nice rifle at the workbench, develop her into a good gunslinger character with good Force abilities for that kind of a thing, and go nuts. You can park your other team members, including yourself aka the almighty PC, somewhere safe, and knock yourself out cleaning up the two major gangs in the area in solo mode, at the hardest difficulty level. Averted in The Old Republic: Troopers, Smugglers, Imperial Agents and Bounty Hunters all use guns, and they hit just as hard as melee weapons, even lightsabers. In fact, Troopers using Mortar Barrage and Bounty Hunters using Death From Above can inflict more damage in five seconds than most classes in a minute.

Apparently, shooting a ninja lord in the back several times does absolutely nothing. The armor being useless is justified in that non-ballistic weapons like knives (and by extension, swords, shuriken, arrows, etc.) tend to go right through Kevlar weave. The ninjas' advantage of speed and hiding in the shadows is negated by spotlights and filling the area with lead.

When it comes to bosses though such as the Tyrant, Mr X, Nemesis, Saddler, Ustanak, Jack Baker, Eveline, Lady Dimitrescu and Mother Miranda etc; special weapons such as RPGS, super magnums and a Godzilla Threshold that Attack Its Weak Point are required. In Nemesisâ€™ case itâ€™s hinted that it took a missile nuking Raccoon City to dust make sure he was Deader than Dead. Shooting at Big Bad Wesker played this straight while also subverting it a bit. Heâ€™s so fast that Chris, Jill and Sheva canâ€™t even clip him with automatic weapons, but in the boss battle with him you can knock him down with a sniper rifle shot to the head when he isnâ€™t expecting it. Except in the nature of this trope Wesker will get up again and start dodging your rounds again. Even RPG rockets exploding in his hands donâ€™t do more than stagger him, RPG rockets do kill him in the ending although the molten lava in the volcano appeared to be doing most of the work.

Guns Are Worthless / int_59151283	comment	For a series that mostly stars Solid Snake and his father Big Boss, two soldiers with relatively conventional and realistic combat methods (although their level of skill and some of their battle posing is admittedly anime-esque at times), the fact that any of the bosses in Metal Gear that don't use firearms aren't immediately dismantled by a shot to the face is just a little odd. And don't think it's just the Cyborg Ninjas and their high-frequency blades (although that's certainly part of it), because there were several soldiers that went without conventional weaponry before Gray Fox's time. The original Metal Gear featured Dirty Duck, perhaps the stupidest Metal Gear villain of all time, whose choice weapon was boomerangs, which may have been at least thematically justifiable if his codename weren't Dirty fucking Duck. The Game Boy Color spin-off Metal Gear: Ghost Babel features yet another boomerang-armed boss, Slasher Hawk, who gets away with it because, well, not only is his codename radical, his weapon of choice is at least somewhat justified by his Australian nationality. Back in 1964, and before then in World War II, The Pain from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater apparently figured that controlling bees traveling at the speed of bullets was a better idea than using actual bullets. And he was completely right. Gray Fox in Metal Gear Solid, Olga Gurlukovich in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Raiden in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots are not only Immune to Bullets thanks to their armored exoskeletons, they also have the options of either dodging or deflecting the bullets with their blades depending on whichever they feel would be cooler at the moment. The Black Ninja from Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake gets a special shoutout for also being fairly capable despite lacking these advantages. Fortune from MGS2 just stands there and lets the bullets swerve around her. By the time of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (2018 to be exact), the inefficiency of guns compared to high-frequency blades, magical powers and bullet-speed bees is finally internally justified and discussed, where it is explained that the absurd power and durability of CNT (carbon nanotube) muscle fibers have made small arms effectively worthless against modern cyborgs (each bullet doing less than 1% damage to your character in-game), "packing the power of a jackhammer into every limb". This is made particularly obvious at one point where some cyborg Dirty Cops confront Raiden and decide that "deadly force is authorized" to deal with him, before putting away their guns in exchange for telescoping batons.

Guns Are Worthless / int_59215318	comment	In the original Persona, all characters could equip a firearm in addition to their usual non-gun weapon. Certain enemies are weak to firearms, but outside of that they aren't treated any differently from the other weapons. Though they're actually incredibly useful despite their unimpressive attack power due to things like charm bullets. A decent chance to cause charm on every hit with a gun that hits six or more times can cripple a lot of enemies very quickly.note This was lifted from the first Shin Megami Tensei game by the same company. While magic powers and ancient magical swords could outpace firearms in raw damage before too long, getting to choose which status effects your multi-hit firearms put on your foes is invaluable. Especially since SMT1 averts Useless Useful Spell even more than other games in the series, because charm works very well even on boss monsters.

Aegis and Takaya both use guns in combat, however, where their damage is rather mediocre (all things considered) standard attacks that deal about as much damage as the assorted swords, bows, and boxing gloves the rest of the party use and have no improved range to speak of. (of course, the last part can be forgiven due to the fact that combat mechanics don't take range into question.) Heck, one boss character (Jin) throws grenades at people that hardly do any damage. Aside from that, the main characters use gun-shaped Evokers to call their Persona out in a way all-too-reminiscent of suicide, so while it is debatable whether they count as guns or not, they are still vital for your success.

Here, each team-member has their own gun-class weapon (ranging from modern pistols, revolvers and shotguns to slingshots, assault rifles and grenade launchers), and they can be used to exploit enemy weaknesses. They are explicitly stated to have higher attack strength than melee weapons, but at the cost of limited ammo. There are also Gun-type physical skills, and two of the game's confidants center around gun-based benefits; the Hanged Man lets you customize them to make them stronger, more accurate, both, or one at the expense of the other, while Tower Confidant Link will make your gun-usage much more efficient, giving you extra ammo, a maneuver to down any foe, and eventually the ability to ignore Gun-resistances on enemy foes.

Guns Are Worthless / int_60f30aaf	comment	The Saga of Recluce novels have fairly good reasons why any weapon using gunpowder is useless. Chaos mages can set off gunpowder from a distance (typically somewhere outside the maximum effective range of the average firearm), or else make themselves invisible so as to get close enough otherwise. It isn't until late in the series chronology that we see firearms deployed to any great effect by any considerable force, and then it's essentially because shell casings have been invented (the shells prevent a chaos mage from tampering with the powder). Until this happens, arrows (particularly iron arrows, because chaos mages have a rough time with iron) are nearly the only reliable projectile weapons in the series.

Guns Are Worthless / int_64bd90f5	comment	Mostly played straight in Bloodborne. Firearm damage is pathetic compared to melee, with most guns taking several shots to kill basic Huntsmen enemies you can dispatch with a couple of swings of an axe or cleaver from the very beginning of the game. However, they have the unique ability to stun enemies if the shot is timed correctly, which can get you out of a sticky situation and give an opening for a high-damage counterattack. The backstory justifies this by stating the guns the player uses have specialized ammo named Quicksilver Bullets, a mixture of mercury and magic blood. They do less damage by default than normal bullets but can fit any Hunter-deigned gun or be used as a medium for magic. The flavor text explains that the the Beasts that make up the majority of in-game enemies are so tough and strong that man-portable firearms are of little use against them, making super-strong, super-fast Hunters swinging melee weapons an overall better option (it's not like one of them would get more mileage out of a regular percussion cap rifle than anyone else; a giant axe is a different story). It can be subverted however, if you level up the "Bloodtinge" stat high enough; certain guns can down bosses ruthlessly and efficiently. Conversely, firearms used by enemies are quite damaging against the player character. Justified in that not only do monsters tend to be much tougher than even the Empowered Badass Normal player character, but one would also expect a more far gone hunter to have a high bloodtinge. Averted by the only two firearms that actually take advantage of the fact that the Hunters are super-strong — the Gatling Gun and the Cannon. The former does about as much damage as other firearms like the Rifle Spear and Hunter Pistol per shot, but with a much higher rate of fire and capacity.note It also shoots four bullets for every Quicksilver Bullet consumed to make it actually usable. So e.g. it and the Rifle Spear both do 85 damage at base per bullet, but one Quicksilver Bullet will give you 340 damage for the Gatling Gun and only 85 for the Rifle Spear. The latter is basically a light field gun that fires explosive shells; it doesn't gain much from a high bloodtinge stat, but its base damage is so high that it can kill most enemies in a single hit (and take out small clustered groups) and, with the help of a Critical Hit multiplier or Bone Marrow Ash, take out even bosses in just two or three shots. Both weapons are prevented from being Game Breakers because they're both Too Awesome to Use; even with min-maxed stats, you can only carry enough ammo to fire the Cannon three times or the Gatling Gun for a few seconds, without resupplying.

"Early" firearms (roughly equivalent to 16th-18th century real-world firearms) are rare, expensive, require an Exotic Weapon Proficiency, slow, prone to misfires, and have much poorer range compared to bows and crossbows. However they inflict significant damage and basically ignore armour (but not other defenses) at short range. "Advanced" firearms (roughly 19th-century equivalent) are reliable, faster, still do good damage, have better range, and ignore armour at much longer distances. They are also more popular in regions such as the Mana Wastes, where magic is less reliable. While guns can be enchanted like any other weapon, they lose some of their inherent appeal in a world where a magic wand can do most of the same things, and be less prone to exploding.

The in-story explanation being that conventional weapons had no effect on the Black Beast, and the only way to damage the beast was through seither-powered Ars Armagus (which essentially allowed mankind to use Magic). Since seither came from the Black Beast, concentrations were highest in proximity to the beast and allowed for more efficient usage of Armagus. This lead to weapons being designed for close- or melee-ranged, and after the Dark War, the population just continued to use Ars.

Standard guns top out a 2-5 ranks of damage, equivalent to a good hard punch by a very well-trained baseline human. Most PC heroes begin at a 10 Toughness bonus, meaning that, when hit by an assault rifle, they're going to avoid any injury half of the time. The addition of Impervious removes the save entirely. Which is actually justified by the Four-Color superhero setting (and characters) assumed by default. When your Player Characters are essentially expys of the Justice League or The Avengers, most of them are gonna be unfazed by a street-thug's gat, or even a soldier's assault rifle. On the other hand, the more down-to-earth, human characters in supplements like Agents of Freedom (characters at power-level 5) have a mere 3 to 5 Toughness save, so guns are not useless against them.

Guns Are Worthless / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: 3.5 falls squarely into this. While most settings don't really use them, the Dungeon Master's guide has rules for Renaissance-era, modern and futuristic firearms, using similar mechanics to crossbows. Notably, they're treated as being harder to master than standard medieval weapons (exotic rather than simple), presumably due to lack of familiarity. They can be enchanted as magic weapons like any other. The Renaissance-era weapons deal only slightly more damage than crossbows, and share all the attributes that make them lag behind standard bows (you can't attack and reload in the same turn, and users with higher stats don't deal any more damage) but without access to Rapid Reload, Crossbow Sniper or any of the other support options that can be used to make crossbows more effective. They also don't have any kind of Anti-Armor properties, which in 3.5 are exclusive to Projectile Spells and certain buffs or fighting techniques. The modern-era weapons are a bit more practical, being superior to the likewise-exotic Repeating Crossbow in both damage and magazine size, but suffer from short range and weak crits. The automatic rifle even has a unique Area of Effect attack, though it becomes unreliable at higher levels due to never becoming any harder to dodge. In addition they cannot be purchased or crafted (though their bullets can), making them available only as artifacts. Futuristic weapons are Purposely Overpowered, dealing significantly more damage than modern weapons while also lacking a damage type (meaning they bypass Damage Reduction). However, not only are they artifact-level items, the energy cells used to power them are also artifact-level items, which can send them into Too Awesome to Use territory. When players try and homebrew firearms, they either make them even weaker (taking minutes to reload in a game where a round is six seconds) or make them an absolute Game-Breaker that ignores all armor, magical or otherwise, and always hits for massive damage. Of course, there are enemies in D&D that are simply immune to bullets for one reason or another. They'll pass straight through Oozes or other liquid creatures without doing anything, they're another physical attack for spirits to ignore, and against gigantic things like titans and the Tarrasque, you may as well be throwing pebbles. 5th edition zigzags this: The Dungeon Master's Guide contains statistics for renaissance, modern and futuristic firearms, each more powerful than the last. Renaissance firearms are essentially more powerful, shorter ranged and more expensive crossbows mechanically with no feat support until the release of Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. By default, their loading property means that they can only be fired once per action, no matter how many attacks you can normally make in a turn. This is a problem for most classes that use weapons because a large portion of their effectiveness comes from their ability to make many attacks in a turn. Pick up the Gunner feat however, not only is the loading property is ignored allowing for extra attacks but they are able to be fired in melee range without penalty, making gunners capable of dealing high damage to any foe within their range. As such, renaissance firearms are not worthless as long as they are in the right hands. Modern and futuristic firearms are much more effective. They do much more damage, can be used with extra attacks without the need of the Gunner feat (making all other ranged weapons obsolete) and some get an Area of Effect attack (spraying an area with bullets that requires a Dexterity save instead of high armor class). There are no listed prices for these firearms or their ammunition as it is expected that the player characterss will not have the ability to buy such powerful weapons. The Artificer class can cast spells via the weapon (which can be a gun), enchant weapons (including giving them Bottomless Magazines) and the Artillerist subclass can summon magical cannons. Artificers also explicitly receive proficiency with firearms in any campaign setting where such weapons exist, even if other character classes do not. The 5th Edition incarnation of the Giff, a big, hippo-like humanoid being available as a player character race in the Spelljammer campaign setting, also averts this, as Giff characters receive free proficiency with firearms regardless of their character class and ignore both the loading property of any guns they use as well as the normal penalties for attacking with them at long range.

Due to the game's balance, while guns can be beaten, they are surprisingly effective at chip and regular hit damage in MOST matches, and PROBABLY because they're superior to pretty much any other projectile attack in the game and have low or no startup and cooldown. Stryker was infamous for this, as his "shoot gun" attack (in both UMK3 and MK9) was so good that it's possible to win entire matches using only shoot gun, and take no damage.

And yes, both wooden bullets and silver bullets are possible IRL, just less effective than the usual lead. Wooden bullets will have very short range, and silver bullets have poor accuracy since silver is a much harder metal than either lead or copper and thus does a poor job of engaging the barrel's rifling.note If there were ever a real-world need for silver bullets, an easy solution would be a copper-jacketed, silver-core hollowpoint, which would expand inside the target to ensure they actually come into direct contact with the silver. But don't expect many fictional vampire or werewolf stories to go into that level of technical detail.

Guns Are Worthless / int_747d9a6f	comment	[PROTOTYPE] played this trope in a rather realistic way. Guns are actually very powerful against what you'd expect them to work on. Walkers, the basic mutated humans that you face in droves, usually die after a few rounds to the face, same with the soldiers. Problem is, over time you get giant mutants that are more than capable of shrugging off small arms fire, which quickly makes guns useless in favor of your powers. Cannons and missiles, on the other hand, are effective all the way to the end, especially when Thermobaric weapons are involved, not to mention how insanely effective helicopters are in general. Played straight in regards to the enemies, though. The most powerful enemies the military can deploy against Mercer are essentially huge wrestlers, and sure enough their wrestling moves do more damage to Mercer than tank shells and stinger missiles (and by quite a margin, too). In [PROTOTYPE 2] an early-game upgrade gives Heller a shield that makes him completely invulnerable against military weapons — only boss-tier Infected enemies with powerful melee attacks can bust through it — and a later upgrade makes it so anything smaller than an autocannon round simply bounces off his chest even without the shield deployed.

Guns Are Worthless / int_7559ae0b	comment	Dune goes out of its way to make ranged weapons useless through personal shields, which make the wearer immune to all damage (except lasers, but that ends with both laser and shield going nuclear)—except, in order to allow air through, the shields have to be set to allow anything moving below a certain speed threshold to pass through. This means that soldiers and assassins are trained to slow their strike at the precise moment just enough to get through the shield. note if you calculate the average speed of an oxygen molecule at room temperature, you'll find it's in the vicinity of 1000 MPH, which is well over the muzzle velocity of most firearms (the reason we're not in a constant supersonic wind is that they run into each other and change direction frequently). The novel mentions that carbon dioxide tends to build up in the shields if the wearer is exerting themselves, but the effect should be a lot more pronounced than it's described as being (and occur even when they're just sitting around). Averted in the open desert on the planet Arrakis (Dune) itself, however: shields are one of the surest ways to call a sandworm. Consequently, the Fremen do not wear shields, and battles in the desert use traditional artillery and firearms.

Unlocked weapons after are usually melee, such as swords, ice skates, chainsaws, or a Killer Yoyo, and exceed the guns in damage per hit. The series justifies this as the enemies Bayonetta faces are supernatural (angels, demons, and the occasional human that formed a pact with one or the other) or highly advanced reality-bending technology in the case of the Homunculi. To combat them, the weapons are demons transformed by Rodin, so it is not surprising that they follow different rules from how guns and swords are expected to behave. Ordinary Handguns can be unlocked in each game after fulfilling circumstances, and they're the series' Joke Item. The intro of the first game even has Bayonetta burning through a number of regular guns and complaining, before Rodin sets her with the supernatural Scarhorough Fair.

Guns Are Worthless / int_7d985ff1	comment	Epithet Erased: The only bullets to do more than one or two points of damage are the ones Zora Salazar has powered up with her Epithet, and even those are low-powered enough that Ramsey gets shot in the face by one and only loses 15 HP, which is in context quite a bit - for benchmarking, Giovanni being beaten with taxidermied bears by a huge Scottish minotaur dealt 3 damage per hit - but doesn't even knock him out. And with the stamina system, even taking a lot of damage from bullets isn't a serious problem; Bugsy gets hit by a hailstorm of Zora's time-delay bullets for 65 damage and basically just gets badly winded, because it's very hard to inflict a significant injury without using a "real-ass goddamn" weapon like Percy's sword.

For some reason this also works against human guns, who are a very rare enemy-only physical attack that is quite underwhelming. Although they do deal triple damage to humans, that triple damage still usually isn't enough to simulate the Real Life effects of burst-firing an assault rifle point blank at an unarmoured teenager with intent to kill.

Guns Are Worthless / int_7f5bc680	comment	In the Fallout series of games, having a low skill in guns makes them utterly worthless weapons, subject to low damage, poor aiming and frustratingly common jamming problems. Of course, the majority of guns in the setting are also decades or centuries old, which perhaps explains their lackluster effectiveness. Guns are certainly not useless in Fallout Tactics but your squad mates often make them so. It's frustrating to arrive back from scouting just in time to watch your machine-pistol toting allies being bludgeoned to death by a man with a chair leg. Fallout 3 and especially 4 greatly tone it down; There are several perks to help you deal more damage to enemies with different kinds of guns, but the newer games implement enough First-Person Shooter elements that player skill can make up for poor numerical accuracy.

Guns Are Worthless / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek Possibly averted in that the Borg can adapt to energy weapons, but are seemingly vulnerable to bullets and blades. Ranged weapons in general in later Treks don't pack the punch you'd expect them to. Whether it's energy weapons or actual bullets, Plot Armor is in full effect. Star Trek: Picard: Energy weapons are useless against the Qowat Milat because those who have undergone the order's training can dodge multiple projectiles, as Elnor does in "Nepenthe" when he confronts Narissa and her minions. With his Super-Reflexes and his tan qalanq, he can turn any firefight into a Never Bring a Gun to a Knife Fight situation, and his rivals end up as bloodied corpses before they even lay a scratch on him. In Season 1, the only time Elnor is vulnerable is in "Broken Pieces", when the Romulan soldiers have finally learned that this trope applies to him, so they ditch their disruptors and engage in hand-to-hand combat after they temporarily blind him with a flashbang grenade, which disorientates Elnor to the point where his speed advantage is negated. Star Trek: Voyager playing this trope completely straight was especially ridiculous during the period where it's run overlapped with that of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, which averted it entirely. On Deep Space Nine most people die and even major characters lose limbs when hit; meanwhile on Voyager phasers were occasionally shown to do so little damage that they were more deadly as clubs (including normal humanoid mooks taking direct center of mass hits and not even slowing).

Actually firing them is nearly pointless — their range is short, their spread is wide, and damage is distributed between each pellet he fires, so they basically can hit a lot of people but don't really do much in the way of killing them. Even his bazooka still takes several blasts to kill someone. Conversely, Kenshiro, Toki, and Raoh, the Hokuto siblings who exclusively use martial arts, can reduce the average mook to Ludicrous Gibs just by looking at them funny. The same also applies to the setting's Automatic Crossbows, with a dozen bolts being substantially less damaging than a punch in the face.

Especially the ones where the hero is allies with the police, like Kamen Rider Kuuga, Kamen Rider Agito and Kamen Rider Wizard. Wizard even took it so far that hitting a mook with traffic cone had more effect than the gun one of the officers was carrying. Kuuga plays with this in that guns start out worthless against the Grongi, but when they get an intact Grongi corpse to study, the police are able to develop highly effective Depleted Phlebotinum Shells. The Fangire Buster is a gun used by non-Kamen Rider combatants against Fangire in Kamen Rider Kiva, but is never shown to be as effective against Fangires compared to the mostly melee based Kamen Riders.

Guns Are Worthless / int_874f630c	comment	With a few exceptions, guns in the first Yakuza game are useless. When used against Kazuma, they serve only to interrupt his combat animations and chip off his health from a distance, doing a pittance of damage while other enemies lay into him with deadlier weapons...like tables or golf clubs. When Kazuma gets his hands on one dropped by a mook, it fires only one shot and will take off a quarter of the mook's health, if he is lucky enough to hit him in the first place. Truth in Television, as the rarity of guns in Japan means that most are old and poorly maintained. Averted in Kiwami. Getting shot will immediately knock Kazuma down, leaving him vulnerable to follow-up attacks. Guns are scattered around certain areas, hold several shots, and are great at crowd control. Understandable, given that the places where you can find guns are controlled by organized criminals.

Guns Are Worthless / int_89465e75	comment	In Percy Jackson and the Olympians basically anything magical in natures (gods, monsters and so on) can only be harmed with magic or magical weapons. As a result demigods basically have to have weapons made from special metals, Celestial Bronze, Imperial Gold or Stygian Iron. Notably the first two are actually ONLY capable of hurting magical beings, leaving mortals totally unharmed (Stygian Iron affects both). In general such weapons will take the form of swords, spears and so on, although it is entirely possible to make bullets from these metals, and in one book Annabeth's father does exactly that. However, as noted in The Trials of Apollo, it's impractical on a large scale because bullets made of magical metals (which are also quite rare) vanish after a single use, while melee weapons can be used indefinitely.

Effectively, the tiny force of a gun would be the equivalent of dealing scratch damage multiple times as the titan closes the distance and crushes their opponent in a single blow. As a result, gun technology has stagnated and is expensive to craft, while robots and rocket science have progressed slowly. Isa does carry a crossbow that shoots plasma bolts, but her cheap shots just do a little scratch damage.

Guns Are Worthless / int_8ee238c9	comment	Persona: In the original Persona, all characters could equip a firearm in addition to their usual non-gun weapon. Certain enemies are weak to firearms, but outside of that they aren't treated any differently from the other weapons. Though they're actually incredibly useful despite their unimpressive attack power due to things like charm bullets. A decent chance to cause charm on every hit with a gun that hits six or more times can cripple a lot of enemies very quickly.note This was lifted from the first Shin Megami Tensei game by the same company. While magic powers and ancient magical swords could outpace firearms in raw damage before too long, getting to choose which status effects your multi-hit firearms put on your foes is invaluable. Especially since SMT1 averts Useless Useful Spell even more than other games in the series, because charm works very well even on boss monsters. In Persona 3 guns that appear in cutscenes are treated realistically and even kill party members with one or two shots. Aegis and Takaya both use guns in combat, however, where their damage is rather mediocre (all things considered) standard attacks that deal about as much damage as the assorted swords, bows, and boxing gloves the rest of the party use and have no improved range to speak of. (of course, the last part can be forgiven due to the fact that combat mechanics don't take range into question.) Heck, one boss character (Jin) throws grenades at people that hardly do any damage. Aside from that, the main characters use gun-shaped Evokers to call their Persona out in a way all-too-reminiscent of suicide, so while it is debatable whether they count as guns or not, they are still vital for your success. Persona 4 carries on this fine tradition in-game: Naoto and Adachi both use guns, and neither are particularly dangerous physically. Firearms return as a separate option in Persona 5. Here, each team-member has their own gun-class weapon (ranging from modern pistols, revolvers and shotguns to slingshots, assault rifles and grenade launchers), and they can be used to exploit enemy weaknesses. They are explicitly stated to have higher attack strength than melee weapons, but at the cost of limited ammo. There are also Gun-type physical skills, and two of the game's confidants center around gun-based benefits; the Hanged Man lets you customize them to make them stronger, more accurate, both, or one at the expense of the other, while Tower Confidant Link will make your gun-usage much more efficient, giving you extra ammo, a maneuver to down any foe, and eventually the ability to ignore Gun-resistances on enemy foes.

This was especially odd given that the background mentioned a war between two of the kingdoms of Arcanum in which the elite knights of the more backward one had been easily slaughtered by volley fire from poorly trained Tarantian conscripts. Guns do have advantages over tech melee weapons, such as range and higher accuracy for more damaging criticals. But thrown weapons of either tech or magick have major advantages over guns; they're faster, magick doesn't cause them to fail and the uberweapon for the type becomes available much earlier in the game. The Aerial Decapitator does make guns look worthless. Additionally the game suffered from a bug causing damage being calculated per shot, not per bullet. This caused mechanized rifles to consume several bullets per 'burst' but still dealing the damage only slightly higher than damage of a simple pistol. However the elite knights were slaughtered by huge volleys, one on one an elite warrior is better than a lone soldier with a gun, or rifle; unless that soldier has exceptional gear, armour and the like, it's the peasant armies that beat the few knights.

Guns Are Worthless / int_9db1766a	comment	Guns in Devil May Cry do pathetic amounts of damage, and aside from a few special attacks (and cut scenes), are generally pretty useless. That being said, the game's Stylish Rank mechanic will encourage players to make use of them anyway since doing the exact same damage-efficient thing every time doesn't increase the Rank. Apart from extending combos. A cushion of handgun bullets might not have the raw DPS of a sword, but if the enemy is in the air then they're not hitting you. Shotguns deal fantastic knockback and have a great chance of interrupting an enemy's attack. Simply, melee weapons will deal great damage, but the firearms have utility. Most titles also feature an enemy type or two whose defenses favour melee attacks, such as the Bloodgoyles in Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening who are intangible and immune to attack until you use Ebony and Ivory to fill them with lead. There's also the Hell Wraths from 3, which explode when they take damage and are best handled at range, and the Blitzes from Devil May Cry 4, which need their lightning aura shot off before you can melee them. The ranking system also doesn't favour gun attacks as it rates you for speed of victory and combo variety, whereas guns tend to lack power and versatility compared to melee attacks. Using the Gunslinger style gives guns more options, but that choosing that means you aren't using a different style to enhance your dodging, blocking or melee attacks. Not to mention the bullets fired upon the main badass Half-Demons such as Dante and Vergil which might as well as be hot air. Lady ungratefully shoots Dante twice in the face after he gives her an Unwanted Rescue and it doesnâ€™t do more than annoy him (although he is effected by the recoil). Dante in his fight with Vergil unloads an entire clip on his brother, who just Rule of Cool sweeps them of the air by rotating his katana before lining them up and smacking them back at Dante.

Guns Are Worthless / int_9e2f90f4	comment	One Piece: The manga is an odd case where guns aren't worthless, in and of themselves. The times we see bullets actually connect they DO cause damage. The problem is that everyone in the series that gets guns used against them can either power through the injury, Dodge the Bullet, or are just flat out Immune to Bullets by virtue of a Devil Fruit power or other factor. Just as frequently, the bullets just whiz by them, even when they appear to be going right through them. Played with in regards with a Fishman pirate named Fisher Tiger, who died after getting shot repeatedly. The character was able to withstand the bullet wounds themselves just fine but eventually succumbed to blood loss. There are some characters that manage to make more or less regular bullet-firing guns work as very effective weapons, for instance Van Auger and several members of the Red-Hair Pirates. So it's not that guns specifically are poor weapons, just that personal strength is more important than weapon strength and guns aren't an especially common weapon of choice. Donquixote Rocinante dies this way, from a combination of blood loss from multiple shots to the back coupled with later being shot point blank by his brother Doflamingo.

Guns Are Worthless / int_9f91a58a	comment	In Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka, guns aren't worthless per se, but have a number of limitations in that magical beings are protected by shields, plus Disbeasts are just made differently and made tougher by magic (a Halloween class is stated to need multiple hits from 120 mm kinetic penetrators to be taken down without magic, and a Vorhees-class, seven times weaker, needs an RPG to be killed). That said, guns combined with magic are much more effective: if a Vorhees-class Disbeast has its shield destroyed by a Magical Girl a normal assault rifle can quickly take it out, especially if loaded with incendiary or explosive bullets, orichalcum-tipped .50 BMG rounds can harm Halloween-class beasts, and Magical Girls are prone to use guns that fire bullets infused with their magic.

They do as much damage as one of Jack's punches. Starting with Tekken 6, the games let you equip a character with various firearms that are actually useable during a fight. The input to use them is a little tricky to get the timing down, and while they provide a nice ranged attack they don't do much damage at all. Tekken 8: Nina Williams now carries a pair of pistols that she incorporates into her fighting style. She can fire multiple shots from point-bank range into her opponent and still do less damage than one of her more powerful kicks does.

Bullets will run out, however, and new clips cost money, so Dexâ€™ll often have to fight with her fists regardless. On the flip side, Dex can be killed quite swiftly by the gun-wielding enemies, too, especially in the early game. Getting the Ballistic Dermal Layer augmentation (which halves the ranged weapon damage) will soon become a priority.

The only firearm-related fatalities in the whole game are Bravo Team, after Vargas starts hallucinating due to a venomous bite and begins shooting at his own men. Oscar averts this, however, by shooting Vargas in the shoulder, incapacitating him without killing him. A weird aversion occurs in the second episode. A Herrerasaurus lands on the coaster car in front of Jess. Nima draws her gun and tells Gerry to get down. She then shoots a bit of scaffolding overhead, which falls and knocks the dinosaur off. Why she doesn't just shoot the dinosaur, which would be quicker, more helpful, a lot easier than shooting a rope, and safer than risking hitting everyone with the scaffolding, is never explained, but the most likely explanation is that she didn't want to risk shooting Jess.

However, the guns are so worthless you'd be better off trying to pull back to minimum missile range when you draw in close, because they deal Scratch Damage, have a retarded aiming reticule that lies to you and overheat if fired continuously for more than a few seconds.

Guns Are Worthless / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy is, as always, the seminal example. To start us off: Barret from Final Fantasy VII has a gun stuck on his arm that can practically shoot cannon balls, and Vincent uses pistols as his weapon of choice, but they only cause as much damage as Tifa's fists or Cloud's oversized sword. It's even worse for the enemies; their guns are lucky to do a tenth of the damage that Cloud's detached helicopter rotor does. The very first enemy you meet in the game punches for more damage than when they shoot you. In Advent Children, Cloud gets shot at point blank range directly between his eyes. It breaks his sunglasses and gives him a tiny scratch. Then, at the end he gets shot in the back and is seriously wounded, but only because Yazoo and Loz upgraded their weapons with loads of materia. Downplayed in the Final Fantasy VII Remake, as Barret can use his power shot more frequently, and Rufus has professional Gun Kata training and laser ammunition that make his boss fight nearly impossible to do without getting thoroughly wounded multiple times. Both played straight and averted by Final Fantasy VIII. Though the game itself states that melee weapons deal more damage than guns, it also points out that modern technology allows for greater weapons yields than magic. Also, Irvine, the gun-wielding party member, is capable of doing incredible damage with his rifle, and the specialist ammunition he carries can amplify that damage to ridiculous levels, and Laguna, who carries a machine gun, does most of his damage through the use of raw firepower and grenades. In Final Fantasy X-2 the Gunner's rapid shot technique is one of the weakest in the game until combined with the catnip accessory, whereupon it becomes one of the two most powerful attacks in the game. The rapid shot technique is also useful in starting up a combo, giving a boost to damage for a follow up attack. Final Fantasy XI makes use of the first generation of handheld firearms such as flintlocks and blunderbusses, fitting their real-life counterparts in use delay, but not so much their effectiveness against small rabbits at close range, although these bunnies can destroy anyone, so it's not that bad. Final Fantasy XII uses guns, but they have low attack power compared to swords or other weapons for balance reasons. The quirk here is that guns ignore defense, so a weak character can do a decent amount of damage to enemies if you get guns early in the game and you can do even more damage if you use elemental bullets on enemies that are weak to it. By the halfway point to the end of the game, your other characters will be strong enough to outclass gunners and attack faster since guns have a slow wait time. Not only that, but most enemies and bosses by this point will have a passive resistance to guns, making gunners do only a few hundred points in damage compared to the 2000 damage they were doing earlier in the game. This trope is all over the place in Final Fantasy XIII. One of your party members, Sazh, uses guns and has the weakest stats, but compensates for it by being able to hit twice on every attack AND having better bonuses on his crafted weapons. His Blitz attack is a textbook example of More Dakka. Late in the game there are human mooks carrying bazookas that are potential game-enders if they are not dealt with first. For balance purposes; guns have the highest range in the Tactics series but are also very weak. (After all what'd be the point of having melee weapons at all if you can just slaughter enemies before you even get in their range?) However, you can actually use abilities that have weapon range with them — Gunners and Cannoneers with Ultima. OUCH. Guns in Tactics have just about the best attack range in the game, but rarely do as much damage as a solid sword... unless you find one of the rare varieties that shoot magic at the enemies instead of bullets, anyway. Played straight in Final Fantasy Tactics A2. Guns do have long range, but the strongest gun has an attack of 35, as compared to mid 50s for other ranged weapons, about 60-80 for melee weapons that are actually intended to be used as such, and a whooping 92 for the strongest weapon (Knightswords). Even staves and rods are stronger than guns for heaven's sake. Add in that Fusiliers have terrible growths across the board... But if you add in that Fusiliers learn loads of attacks that cost no MP and have decent chances of causing Status Effects while still causing regular damage to their enormous range then you still have a great supporting unit. If you give Gunners/Fusiliers Onslaught as their secondary ability set, they can use Ultima at a ridiculous range, and if you have them level up as Moogle Knights they'll have much better attack (somehow). This is averted in Final Fantasy XIV where guns are exactly as effective as you'd think in a setting that holds somewhat close to reality, mostly held away by Fantasy Gun Control. Admiral Merlwyb is a crack shot with her dual pistols, and her bullets are treated as a One-Hit Kill when we see her fight, and if a boss uses a gun odds are it will be attached to one of their deadliest attacks (Captain Madison for example, will focus on a party member and shoot them until he takes enough damage or they die). Player Machinists are also expert marksmen with a slight tinting of The Engineer, though their bullets are mentioned to be ether compressed into physical form by their tool kits to justify Bottomless Magazines. Guns in Final Fantasy XV generally do less damage than swords and lances and always do less damage than greatswords. They also do pitiful damage at range (sometimes just 1 or 0 damage), so it counterbalances their advantage there. They are also the only primary weapon type without a corresponding Royal Arm.

Protagonist Edge only gives up on his railgun when he drops it, and then grabs the first weapon he can, which just happens to be a sword-like cutting tool, which, of course, works perfectly. It does not at any point however explain how every single example of wildlife on every planet in the universe except Earth somehow evolved with the ability to generate these shields. Further explained in that Edge's special ability makes it harder for him to use a gun; it causes him to lead his shots too much and miss more often than not. Fridge Brilliance: Star Ocean's setting is an MMORPG that somehow came to life. The game designers in charge of the Star Ocean universe are mocking the use of guns to make players use medieval / abnormal weapons. Which includes plasma cannons.

Victims of gunfire may suddenly realise that it was Only a Flesh Wound, and make a partial recovery during the game or after the end. People taken out in close combat have a larger chance of developing long term injuries rather than making a full recovery.

They appear in groups of three and stagger while they're reloading to lay down about one shot every two seconds, and they really hurt! About the only advantage you have is that most of the time you're above or below them, and they can only shoot straight ahead. Not surprisingly, the highly powerful Shield Rod is guarded by a group of Bone Muskets inside a thin corridor.

But somehow a nail-studded baseball bat wielded by a teenager is highly effective. Averted in the Season 2 finale, when Hopper fends off the demidogs while Eleven closes the gate. Although maybe those bullets were just knocking the demidogs down and not actually wounding them. Played straight again in Season 3, where the shotgun that Nancy wields against the Mind Flayer seems to do very little, if anything at all.

His weapons have amazing range, and put out some of the highest damage rolls comparable to high level magic users. It even serves as a major plot point for his character, as he is basically the inventor of firearms in this universe, and he is fully aware of their unreal destructive capabilities. Combined with his shadowy demonic possession which inspired him to make guns in the first place, and his vengeful hatred towards his Foil Dr. Ripley (who wants to become the fantasy equivalent of a black market arms dealer), it's no wonder he feels the way he does about guns.

Guns Are Worthless / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000 does this to a degree. While guns are still very effective weapons, they did want a way to use their chainswords, power swords, etc, and so despite guns being effective in Warhammer 40,000, somehow melee charges manage to be effective as well. Short-Range Long-Range Weapon resulted, to the n-th degree. Helps that most close combat troopers are either a) Made of Iron, b) can get into combat fast, c) the units just has so many troops they can take a few hits or a combination of the three. Generally, a unit is considered a close combat troop if 1.) it has a movement modifier and 2.) if it has more than 1 attack (either by a innate stat boost, close combat weapons, some special rule, or all of the above). The ability to negate enemy toughness, weapon skill and/or armor are also indicators of a good close combat troop (although there are instances where a unit does indeed have poison or power weapons, but lack the necessary numbers or attacks to actually use them). The new edition changed the rules so that melee fighters can no longer jump straight from combat to combat with no chance to shoot them. This made shooty armies much more powerful, as previously small groups of elite melee units could easily roll up an entire flank of Guards or Firewarriors if they got into close combat. This is also partly why Kroot are considered inferior close combat troops. They lack the Made of Iron-ness of other dedicated close combat troops (having literally no armor and mediocre toughness) combined with crappy close combat weapons that can't deal with other Made of Iron troops. The only reason they're still being used is because they're the only troops in the Tau Army that actually has any close combat prowess (which is not saying much). In the modern world, personal armour is generally inferior to offensive weaponry - 40k is the other way round. In-universe, the description given for the Lasgun states that it can take off limbs and cause fatal burns against most conventional targets (i.e: other humans) and its destructive force is comparable to that of a modern-day AK-47. The Bolt Pistol, standard sidearm to any Space Marine, is a one-handed RPG launcher. The problem is though, the targets are usually monsters with shells thicker than most structurally sound bunkers, supersoldiers clad in power armor surrounded by a forcefield/daemonic energies, undead skeletal machines that can regenerate their steel, and Eldritch Abominations that defy reality with every breath. In Necromunda (a squad-sized game derived from the WH40K rules), close combat has a slight edge because when you take someone down with a sword, they stay down. Victims of gunfire may suddenly realise that it was Only a Flesh Wound, and make a partial recovery during the game or after the end.

Guns Are Worthless / int_bcb32dc6	comment	Shadowrun has a blanket rule on the effectiveness of guns and explosives against supernatural entities—magical beasts and ghosts exist literally because Your Mind Makes It Real, thus only an attack that carries the wielder's intent can harm one — Good Old Fisticuffs, melee weapons, arrows, thrown objects or, of course, Magic and Powers. And a Cyborg will have a lot of trouble with them because Cybernetics Eat Your Soul. In other words, though it is a Cyberpunk game and every party must include at least one Street Samurai, Rigger and Decker, you also need at least one Wizboy because "Magic Must Defeat Magic!" Outside of spirits, however, the trope is inverted. While it is, technically speaking, almost impossible to actually One-Hit Kill anyone in Shadowrun with a firearm, two to three good hits with a bullet usually does the job. Any player who thinks a "Street Samurai" is obligated to go into battle with nothing but a katana and the spirit of the warrior is bound to end up a punctured red mess on the pavement: In nine times out of ten (the tenth usually being a mage) firearms are generally the quickest and easiest way to go when you want someone dead. As of 5th edition this is even backpedalled a little for spirits. Spirits do have "immunity to normal weapons" but if you want to check what that means in game terms then after running down the references (it is not a well organised book) you'll find that nonmagical weapons can hurt spirits, the spirits just get hardened armour (which is better than normal armour) against them. Crunching the numbers it turns out that, assuming average rolls on both sides, a good assault rifle used by a well trained shooter (specifically a shooter the 6 ranks which is the cap at character creation) could be expected to wound a force 6 spirit (the maximum a starting mage is likely to risk summoning). This is assuming the gunman is sensible enough to fire full auto and goes for 1 hit, the optimum tactic for this situation as it gives the spirit such a hefty penalty they can't make a defence roll and guarantees the shooter will roll enough successes (a five or six on one of the dice they roll) to increase the damage a little. However this tactic does mean the shooter will want to spend their next action settling their gun as recoil penalties in shadowrun are cumulative. So the bottom line is a squad of well trained and well equipped soldiers could take down an average type spirit. The amount of hardened armour spirits get does increase rapidly with force however, high force spirits are unlikely to be even scratched by anything short of very heavy weaponry.

Lucca's guns are basically your standard "magic user weapon", which deal damage just high enough to be occasionally useful, but far less than the guys with swords. To make things worse, as a projectile weapon it's boosted by the Hit/Accuracy stat, rather than the Power/Strength stat. Not only are there far more accessories that boost Power/Strength, but there are no Tabs/Capsules that boost Hit/Accuracy as well. Plus, for comparison, Chrono has about 70 base Power/Strength by the end of the game (at about level 48 or so). Lucca has only 49 Hit/Accuracy at level 99. Guns use the attack stat and are thus more powerful in Chrono Cross, but they are still no more powerful than other weapons of their rank.

The Demoman can choose to go "Demoknight", where he discards his grenade launcher for some shoes, his sticky bomb launcher for a shield and uses one of his many swords as his melee. This can be surprisingly effective. Similarly, the Sniper can discard his sniper rifle in favour of the Huntsman, a set of bow and arrows. If you're good, the Huntsman can be devastating.

Guns Are Worthless / int_c353ea41	comment	For the most part in the Jurassic Park movies, dinosaurs are either impervious or just plain lucky when it comes to firearms. In Jurassic Park (1993), Alan Grant's SPAS-12 loaded with slugs proves unable to even hit Velociraptors behind glass, and the weapon suffers a stovepipe jam in the end. In The Lost World: Jurassic Park, the hunters kill nothing with their automatic rifles, and Ronald Tembo's double rifle is unable to take down a T. rex, because Nick stole the bullets. The mercenaries in Jurassic Park III open fire with Barrett M82s into the jungle, but drop them and run when confronted by a Spinosaurus. The leading character Owen Grady in Jurassic World uses a formidable .45-70 lever-action rifle, but it could not even tickle the Indominus rex during the last battle. It's zigzagged in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Blue is successfully shot and badly wounded by a mercenary, but he only got the opportunity to do so at point blank range because she was currently mauling him. The Indoraptor later shrugs off direct shots from an assault rifle, though darts can penetrate its hide. Jurassic World Dominion plays this straight again to a silly degree. The French intelligence workers infiltrating the dinosaur black market are nearly all immediately killed by the trained Atrociraptor pack because they seem to completely forget they're all holding guns in their hands that they could use to shoot the dinosaurs. This is especially egregious when Barry is trapped in the cabin of an abandoned boat and chooses to try and shoot the locked sunroof open rather than shoot into the open mouth of the dinosaur clawing its way in only about a foot in front of him. This is also used on a story-wide scale; despite all the dinosaurs running loose around the world and causing all sorts of mayhem, the movie never once brings up the idea of people just shooting the dinosaurs.

Guns Are Worthless / int_c4b3cf3f	comment	In the A Lord from Planet Earth trilogy, guns, as well as all forms of explosive, nuclear, and energy weapons, are generally disabled through the use of neutralizing fields. Somehow, the field generators are able to prevent the chemical reactions that cause a gun to go off from occurring. This leaves only one form of combat (apparently, nobody in that Verse believes in unarmed combat) — sword-fighting. The swords almost exclusively used in combat are Absurdly Sharp Blades, which requires a different style of sword-fighting than with normal bladed weapons. In the second novel, the protagonist creates a gun that works despite the use of neutralizing fields. It uses compressed air to launch a small disc whose edges are also Absurdly Sharp Blades. These projectiles also act as hollow-point bullets and bounce around in the target's body, shredding his organs. Since air guns work fine, one wonders why nobody is using bows and crossbows, with ammo tipped with an Absurdly Sharp Blade.

The first battle was justified since the soldiers at that point were barely-trained rookies fighting with slow, muzzle-loading guns in a forest with poor lighting. The climactic battle in the movie, however, has better trained and equipped soldiers (with bolt-action rifles) up against the Samurai, and Algren and Katsumoto have to lure the soldiers into a close-quarters confrontation to stand a chance, and even though the initial skirmish ends in the Samurai's favor, their numbers are severely depleted. Then their final charge is only completely wiped out by Gatling guns.

Early firearms, such as arquebuses, are good for little more than scattering poor-morale peasants at an arm's length, but late-game musketmen will fell their worth in knights before the latter can get anywhere within melee range. Even the latest-game musketmen get vastly outranged by archers, though, resulting in unobservant or unlucky players seeing their fancy-pants musket army getting shredded by a few longbows or American tribesmen doing hit-and-run tactics (also true in Empire: Total War). While having some historical basis, Total War gives this trope a corollary of Guns Are Worthless when the enemy has bows and arrows. Played even more straight in the original Shogun: Total War. Guns could not be obtained until pretty late in the game, the troops took a long time to set them up, they were useless at close quarters and they were completely inoperable if it rained as this caused the powder to get wet. If your opponent attacked you then they got to choose the weather conditions, and would inevitably end up with a rainy option to cripple your gunners. If you attacked an opponent then they would get to choose their initial position, normally picking a tall hill to force gunners to get fairly close so that they could easily be charged or peppered with arrows before they were ready. In Total War: Shogun 2, matchlock-armed footsoldiers are fairly effective, though the technology requirement generally makes them strategically superfluous to most clans and the one gunner cavalry unit has to go through a very long reload time before they can fire at anything. The Otomo clan's Donderbuss Cavalry does not have this limitation, although the Otomo in general practically have disagreeing with this trope's name as their hat — if the Otomo somehow manage to hold off the two clans they start at war with, as well as the aggressive and expansionist Shimazu, then their armies and ships bristling with matchlocks become a formidable force indeed.

Somewhat justified in that a) body armor in the modern world is specifically designed to protect against guns rather than blades, and b) your characters are super-strong vampires and so absurdly fast that their opponents can fire at most one shot before you've closed in on them. That doesn't excuse the fact that one of the best weapons in the game is a unique dagger you get about two-thirds of the way through the medieval era. If you hang on to it for the first dungeon of the modern age, you'll have no problem taking apart the vampire hunter cult.

The Sundown Kid, the party member from the Old West, uses a gun (specifically, a Colt Peacemaker to start with; his Infinity +1 Sword is a .44 Magnum). His attacks have little to no charge time, have extremely good range, and deal high damage. His strongest attack, while it has a long charge time and limited range, makes up for this with 999 damage every time if all of the bullets hit. The boss of his chapter could also deal 999 damage with his strongest attack, and he uses a Gatling gun. Guns aren't just worthwhile, they're dangerous.

Compared to archery, bows and crossbows have slightly longer range (about one to three squares depending on weapon type), but guns hit harder and it's not hard to get into effective range.

While a gun in Ironclaw is appropriately powerful, it's also ridiculously expensive, horribly inaccurate, slow to reload, and requires a reliability roll with each shot. If the roll fails, guns suffer from the unnerving tendency to fail in the worst possible way at the worst possible time, such as a dud fuse not firing or, even worse, a spontaneous powder explosion. With such issues only applying to firearm weapons, this means bows and melee weapons are much more practical to their users and much less likely to cause them to accidentally kill themselves.

They are acceptable, but when you move on in the story, the enemies will be dropping bows again, which will invariably be stronger, in terms of range and damage. However, guns have special abilities that bows and crossbows simply do not have. The Gatling gun and Flamethrower both can hit/pierce multiple enemies and containers; useful for crowd control. The grenade launcher deals lots of area damage, and its projectile has physics in the normally static game (it will bounce until detonation, can be exploited for distance). Also, the grenade itself sheds light; which can be used for scouting dark corridors (particularly the Pit of Despair dungeon).

Also, a gun will kill a mortal human but the game presents so many more effective ways to do so, like crossbows, which have a range and accuracy rating superior to a 9mm. Guns are also the only weapons whose damage output isn't linked to a character's Attributes, so a gun fired by a God of War does exactly the same amount of damage as the same gun fired by a street punk. This makes guns severely underpowered compared to melee weapons or archery, once the PCs start accumulating dots in Epic Strength and Epic Dexterity.

The first sword chips you get essentially allows you to One-Hit Kill most enemies you encounter up to around the midgame. However, the grid system the series' combat operates on balances this out, since sword chips have a range of one square ahead of you, while guns effectively have unlimited range, so sword chips vs. gun chips are a question of whether you're willing to learn an enemy's pattern and wait for them to get to the front row or hammer away at them at your leisure.

You will need this power, because zombies are attracted to loud noises and guns are so loud that using one will cause all the undead across multiple city blocks to come looking for whoever's ringing that dinner bell. Most players would rather use melee or stick to quiet ranged weapons like crossbows, which have their own drawbacks but at least won't bring a horde down on your head. That being said, new players are still advised to carry a gun in case they get cornered by powerful enemies, and later on a well-prepared player who can plan around the noise drawback can use guns to kills things at a rate other weapons can't match.

Because of the rules, a single bullet can put down a mook with little problem, but named heroes and villains alike get the benefit of Almost Lethal Weapons when dealing with guns — against named characters, your average pistol is only going to cause as much damage as a kung fu warrior's punch or kick, and when fighting a high-Toughness character like a Big Bruiser, something like a dinky .38 snub revolver isn't going to do much to him except piss him off unless it's a signature weapon. Still, heroes and villains alike in the Heroic Bloodshed movies that the gun rules try to emulate are known for taking serious amounts of punishment, sometimes to Normally, I Would Be Dead Now levels, so this is reflective of genre: It is explicitly stated that the game tries to capture the atmosphere of Hong Kong action movies and doesn't even try to imitate reality.

This has the upshot of player characters with range preferring to get shot for less damage than being punched. Powers such as Rise To The Challenge, however, offer a defensive bonus based on the number of enemies within melee range. This makes the character more vulnerable to groups of gunfighters, since they tend to be spread out, although bowmen are just as deadly.

Justified when firing at vampires (who are essentially walking balls of dust — the bullets have very little actual tissue to rupture or tear apart), not so much when dealing with juicebags. Your character's fists are usually more effective against mortals for the first half of the game, even if you play a low-physical stat clan like Tremere or Ventrue. Guns are the most effective weapon if you can get your firearms to 10 and start wielding a Desert Eagle, Uzi, or Steyr AUG as your primary weapon, but that means that you have to get world-class aiming skills and military hardware before you start to get realistic performance from your firearms. To top it off, the scope drift at low to moderate levels is truly terrible. Your sight drifts beyond even a 45 degree cone when trying to look straight ahead. This is of course carried over from Vampire: The Masquerade, where bullets only do bashing damage to vampires since, being dead, they don't experience the same tissue trauma as mortals. Bladed weapons still do lethal damage, however, because they can take a huge chunk out of the vampire. A lot more extreme in Vampire: The Masquerade â€“ Redemption. Upon coming into the modern world, you'll find that a medieval sword is going to be a hell of a lot more effective than any weapon short of a rocket launcher, killing many a vampire opponent with a single strike. Somewhat justified in that a) body armor in the modern world is specifically designed to protect against guns rather than blades, and b) your characters are super-strong vampires and so absurdly fast that their opponents can fire at most one shot before you've closed in on them. That doesn't excuse the fact that one of the best weapons in the game is a unique dagger you get about two-thirds of the way through the medieval era. If you hang on to it for the first dungeon of the modern age, you'll have no problem taking apart the vampire hunter cult.

Guns Are Worthless / int_fe83990a	comment	Saint Seiya: Justified in the anime adaptation. While guns can harm the weaker Cosmo users and even some that aren't weaker (indeed at one point a soldier from the Sanctuary, who knows exactly what a Saint can do, tries to shoot Seiya from behind with an assault rifle) as long as they don't hit their armor, most Cosmo users are way too fast to be hit (in the incident above Seiya easily dodged the burst and punched his attacker out), and Saints, Mariners, God Warriors and Specters hit way harder anyway.

Guns Are Worthless / int_ff0f1797	comment	Played so straight in Rogue Galaxy that weapons like gatling guns, grenade launchers and missiles are comparable to pistols or weaker. None of which are more powerful than swords or a kick to the face, of course. The machine gun-toting mobsters you fight a couple of times are probably the least threatening enemies in the game. Surprisingly both played straight and averted by the game's resident That One Boss - he'll tear you apart with his pistols, but it would take forever to try and drop him with your own gun; you need to block his bullets to survive long enough to get into melee range.
