Never Bring a Knife to a Gun Fight	comment	Both a Stock Phrase and a staple of the action genre. A character comes into the scene armed with what he thinks is sufficient, only to find out he is severely outclassed weapon-wise, because he brought the entirely wrong type of weapon (usually the superior weapon is revealed after the first person has committed to a fight). Could lead to a Curb-Stomp Battle (which would make it a Pre-Mortem One-Liner, or maybe a Bond One-Liner if uttered after), or the character running for his life. Literally taken, this phrase is also a popular way to point out that in the Future where ranged weapons are ubiquitous, people still prefer to do old-fashioned Sword Fights (e.g. lightsabers). Elmer Keith is the trope namer... he was a gunwriter and Idaho cowpuncher, and the phrase is sometimes called "Keith's First Law". Sub-Trope to Combat Pragmatist. Inversions and subversions/aversions are different tropes: Never Bring a Gun to a Knife Fight and Never Bring a Knife to a Fist Fight.

Never Bring a Knife to a Gun Fight / int_1b7190c7	comment	Used with realism in Jack Reacher. Before the final battle with the villains, Reacher calls for help from 'Gunny' Cash, the Cool Old Guy he met earlier who runs a gun range. Gunny turns up with a Sniper Rifle, only to hand Reacher a K-Bar knife, explaining that he's not going to entrust a rifle he owns to a stranger to help him kill a bunch of other strangers. As this means Reacher has to wait till the villains (one of whom is a master sniper) shoot at him first (to prove self defense), he's not happy. Then during the subsequent shootout, Reacher drops the knife and has to resort to using a rock against a man shooting at him with an assault rifle.

One of the assassins mocks Quentin for using a gun, calling them a coward's weapon, since the League uses more traditional weaponry like bladed weapons and bows. Little does he know that Quentin was packing a backup gun; he shoots the Assassin point blank just as he was about to get killed.

He is unable to land a solid blow on Vash, even with the hero actively holding himself back. He only turns the tables by first launching the blade off its hilt, then by fitting the hilt back onto the empty scabbard and using the whole thing as a rifle. In the manga, Rai-Dei fights with his sword proper, making Wolfwood wonder what he's thinking, since he should know his opponent can just hit him from afar. Turns out he wears propulsion rollerblades that let him close the distance immediately. And when Vash eventually runs out of ammo, Rai-Dei comments on it.

Not so handy in one-on-one in close quarters combat. That was why Beryl quickly subdued her and stole the Jewel Seeds to revive Metallia. When listing this trope on the fic's page, someone compared it to 'bringing a cannon to a knife fight'. This is actually canon, as Hayate points out that Caro, a C-rank mage who's the weakest of the forwards in close combat, could potentially defeat her in single combat.

Most non-humans, and even some magical humans, eschew guns in favor of claws, swords, or other melee weaponry, or specifically think to counter someone's magic ability when they do consider long-range combat, neglecting to consider firearms. At least one very powerful practitioner thought she had Harry dead to rights after disarming him of his staff and blasting rod, only to learn a little too late that they should have taken his gun too.

He actually taunts his adversaries that they can take as long as they like because "Katanas don't run out of bullets."

Never Bring a Knife to a Gun Fight / int_4ac1a8cc	comment	In The Island (1980), it is a case of "never bring your fists to a swordfight". A Badass Bystander on the schooner the pirates boards is a martial artist, and wipes the deck with several of the pirates, who have presumably never encountered this style of fighting before. The other pirates watch on in amusement at their shipmates' discomfort until one of them decides that this is wasting time, draws his cutlass, and promptly guts the unfortunate martial artist.

Zoro had a tough time fighting Braham due to the latter keeping his distance while Zoro was strictly a close-combat fighter due to being a swordsman. However, Zoro managed to use flying slashes for the first time allowing him to strike down Braham from a distance and defeat him.

No matter how many guns the player has when invading Madd Dogg's mansion for the first time, he ends up with just a knife.

A much later mission ends with a helicopter crash leaving the water-treading protagonist outside of the ship he has to infiltrate. All his weapons (sob) are at the bottom of the drink except his knife. However, here, a quick swim to shore and knowledge of respawning weapon locations makes the ship much easier to overcome.

Never Bring a Knife to a Gun Fight / int_7f5bc680	comment	Fallout Guns have much greater range than melee or fist weapons, and are often more damaging as well. In theory, this is balanced by guns having finite ammo. In practice, while you might run out for a particular gun, you almost always accumulate ammo faster than you spend it (often without even going to merchants). Often the player character can only manage with melee weapons because of very powerful armor and/or spamming Stimpaks making you practically invulnerable anyway. The Power Fist was actually added to the original Fallout late in development when playtesting showed completing the game with an Unarmed build was nearly impossible. The Final Boss of the Fallout 3 DLC Operation: Anchorage wields only an electrified sword, and the Mooks fighting around you will never attack you. Fighting him on a Guns, Energy Weapons, or Explosives build isn't a sure thing, but you have a good chance of winning by constantly attacking while backing away from him. On a Melee Weapons or Unarmed build, your best bet is Save Scumming until you pass the Speech check to bypass the battle. Fallout 4's Survival mode, enemies and the player alike are extremely frail, making the use of melee/unarmed weapon nigh-impossible in this mode without heavy use of stealth. Even animals, which are normally limited to melee combat, still discourage the player from fighting up-close and personal because their attacks transmit debilitating diseases.

The game emphasizes realistic weapon combat, so there aren't any anime-ish stunts like deflecting bullets or dodging them with graceful footwork here; a gun wielding opponent can very easily kill you well before you're able to get in close to attack. The only thing that makes it fair for the player is that they take a long time to reload, and are a sitting duck while they do it.

As the story goes, there was to be an extended sword fight, but Harrison Ford (playing Indy) was sick with dysentery, and suggested that he just shoot the swordsman. They decided to go with it. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom has a Call-Forward to the use of this trope in the first film in which Indy is confronted by two swordsmen. He reaches for his gun...only to find an empty holster, as he'd forgotten that his pistol was confiscated earlier in the movie. In Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Indy warns Mutt about the dangers of bringing a knife to a gunfight (as he takes out his knife, but the Russians have pistols).

One of the assassins mocks Quentin for using a gun, calling them a coward's weapon, since the League uses more traditional weaponry like bladed weapons and bows. Little does he know that Quentin was packing a backup gun; he shoots the Assassin point blank just as he was about to get killed. A flashback scene shows Oliver Queen's first vigilante efforts were less than impressive. He shoots at a crack dealer with an arrow and misses, then has to make an undignified scramble for cover as the dealer empties his pistol at him; fortunately he's just as bad a shot as Oliver is. In the season 4 Flash-Arrow crossover, "Legends of Today", Oliver shoots an arrow on the ground, to which Damien Darkh mocks Team Arrow for bringing "arrows to a gun fight", only for Oliver to ask "what guns?". The Trick Arrow he shot then magnetically pulls all of the guns the mooks are holding, leaving them unarmed.

She continues to use a sword when she takes a bodyguard job in the Depths, where firearms are widespread; on the occasions when she ends up fighting opponents with guns she's usually at a disadvantage thanks to their range and speed of use as compared to her sword. Guns aren't a guaranteed win, however - in the "My Queen" ending, the HOUNDS are able to suppress several groups of firearm-toting enemies thanks to being overall better-trained and organized, making use of the fact that they're fighting in an urban area to force their quarry into close quarters where they can't make effective use of their weapons' advantages.

And is completely outmatched by any competent gun user, especially if it's police officers (who routinely carry submachine guns). Knowing that, he uses all kinds of tricks and devices to kill or neutralize his opponents before they can just gun him down. That, or he runs, often using some device to cover his retreat.

Never Bring a Knife to a Gun Fight / int_e5c5bc22	comment	GURPS: Firearms are just generally better than melee weapons. A single bust from a rifle-caliber weapon will do much more damage than most melee weapons, on top of being a mostly Unblockable Attack unless one has Super-Reflexes. However, in close combat, melee weapons tend to be better thanks to the fact that you can't aim properly. Of course, the problem is getting there... Across Tech Levels, melee weapons go through three stages of viability. While primitive firearms are introduced in TL3, melee weapons remain supreme until late TL4, when pistols and early rifles come into play. At mature TL5, melee weapons are almost entirely phased out in favor of firearms. While they do see niche uses in TL7 and TL8, nine times out of ten a [1] will do exactly what a sword can, but better. This changes at TL10, where advances in materials technology allow for weapons Sharpened to a Single Atom, Rocket-Powered Weapons, and so on, while Super-Reflexes are made possible thanks to improvements in cybernetics. The introduction of Deflector Shields and Laser Blades at TL11 helps make melee weapons able to stand their own against firearms.

In fact, you outright can't block guns or most weapons without the right equipment. Fortunately, Kiryu and the other player characters also benefit from this; a tough many-on-one battle can be made much easier by getting ahold of a weapon Improvised or deliberate, and a gun of your own can make short work of many bosses who would be a terror in melee.

Ezio's hidden gun lets him shoot up melee-armed mooks with ease. Assassin's Creed III: The sword-wielding Officers and Jagers will cut Connor up if he tries to punch them while they're still armed. It's an automatic counter too. Fortunately, it works to your benefit too; Jagers and Grenadiers/Highlanders that would easily counter Connor to death if going weapon-to-weapon are much easier targets once Connor's the only one with a weapon. During Cross's final confrontation with Desmond, despite just going through dozens of Abstergo Mooks armed with batons and guns with nothing but hidden blades (although Desmond can pick up guns and use them), the cutscene has Desmond dive for cover as soon as Cross shows up and starts firing his gun. Cross then walks slowly to Desmond's cover while mocking the Assassins' tendency to stick to their traditional weapons instead of "upgrading". In fact, Desmond would most likely be dead had Cross not suddenly had a bad case of the "bleeding effect" and started spouting in Russian of his long-dead ancestor.

She actually gets close enough to be almost within striking distance, but then a stray bit of light from a nearby gunfight reflects off the blade and alerts Mireille to her presence, giving her the chance to shoot the woman dead first. During the final episode the showdown between Chloe and Mireille, with the former having the latter dead to rights, ends when Kirika shoots the knife away before it can make lethal contact.
