For a swashbuckler character, see Swashbuckler. A gun and a sword (or other melee weapon) combo... when not used at the same time. Typical combination for characters and armies on the advent of gunpowder, the ranged weapon in this case is often more of a throw-away weapon used to down an opponent before closing to meet with the rest. The gun can be a pistol or a rifle just as well - in fact, the musket itself (which the musketeer is named for) is a long two-handed gun. This sort of a warrior tend toward the Wooden Ships and Iron Men — pirates may even wear a bandolier with several loaded pistols, like Real Life Blackbeard did, in addition to two pistols on his sword belt — and Swashbuckler settings, but not limited to them. Samurai Cowboys need both a Revolver and Katana, so they apply as well. It can even be more modern and futuristic, up to Jedi proficient in both the blaster and the lightsaber. One important thing: these weapons aren't reserve weapons. This trope is for fighters who are proficient in using both the gun and the melee weapon. Someone who is just picking up a lead pipe or something because their gun is out of ammo isn't an example. The character is good with both weapons and will use them as the situation fits. Bayonets are a special case. They are a blade that attaches to the front of a gun weapon that turned it into a short spear. Many variety of bayonets are basically a modified knife that clips or fixes onto the front of the gun and can be wielded like a fighting knife when not attached to a gun. Not to be confused with Sword and Gun, which is when this trope meets Dual Wielding. Subtrope of Choice of Two Weapons. See also Bow and Sword in Accord, which often serves the purposes of this trope in older settings. Compare the Multi-Melee Master, who tends to alternate between close-ranged weapons. Examples |

Star Trek Online allows this, as the player character can equip two weapons and switch between the them while in combat. It's completely possible, and often very helpful when fighting enemies that like to get in your face, to pair a standard issue Federation phaser with a Klingon bat'leth, or any other combination of ranged and melee weapons. | |

By the time of Season 5, Samurai Jack has been in the future long enough as well as losing his sword that he no longer has any compunctions against using guns and starts the season with a pistol and a machine gun. However once he regains his sword he sticks with it to the end. | |

The Empire Strikes Back sees Luke carrying a lightsaber and a blaster into battle, although he never uses them in concert. For instance, in the climax, he uses a blaster to shoot down several Stormtroopers, then puts it away in order to go after Darth Vader in a lightsaber duel. This is the transitional point in his fighting style across the original Star Wars trilogy. In A New Hope Luke only ever used blasters in battle, being too inexperienced with the lightsaber to use it outside of training exercises; while in Return of the Jedi Luke stuck with his green lightsaber throughout, never picking up a blaster. | |

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty plays with this a lot. Raiden uses guns for most of the game, but is able to quickly master using a katana near the end. Likewise, Solidus Snake, the game's Big Bad, prefers to fight Dual Wielding but is capable of using the P90. | |

Fable III has completely gotten rid of crossbows, as they're just not as powerful anymore. It is the Industrial Revolution. But just like the previous two games you're wielding three weapons essentially: melee, ranged and Will (magic). | |

In many Shin Megami Tensei games, the player character can use both swords and guns. Swords are typically preferred for raw physical damage, while guns tend to be more specialized in party-targeting attacks, elemental damage, and inflicting status ailments. Persona: In the first Persona, the playable characters can alternate between a melee weapon or a ranged weapon with the grid based battle system. The ability to equip every character with both melee weapons and firearms then disappeared from the series for a decade, before finally returning in Persona 5. Raidou Kuzunoha XIV of Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army and Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon uses both Sword and Pistol when going against demons, and while generally the sword does better damage, guns are very useful in both games due to their secondary properties (ability to load elemental bullets in The Soulless Army, the ability to stun foes in King Abaddon). |

Darksiders The first game has War starting out with his Chaoseater, but he'll eventually acquire Mercy, one of his brother Strife's guns. Darksiders II has Death starting out with his Sinister Scythe and acquiring various other melee weapons, but he'll canonically acquire Redemption, Strife's other gun as well. Darksiders Genesis shows that Strife himself, in addition to carrying around Mercy and Redemption, also wields two swords for when something survives his barrage long enough to get into close range, meaning he was The Musketeer before any of his siblings. |

Common in Eternal Darkness; every character from the 18th century onward can wield a combination of a bladed melee weapon and a firearm. Maximilian Roivas has a saber and flintlock pistols; Peter Jacob has a bastard sword, a revolver and a rifle; Edward Roivas has the saber, a revolver, a double shotgun and an elephant gun; Edwin Lindsey has a kukri, a pistol and a shotgun; Michael Edwards has his fire ax and an OICW; and Alex Roivas has a gladius, a revolver and a shotgun. | |

Setsuna F. Seiei from Mobile Suit Gundam 00 pilots a Gundam that specializes in close quarters combat; Exia and 00 are armed with massive swords that also have integrated beam rifles. The GN Sword on the Exia and the GN Sword III wielded by 00 Raiser are essentially massive switchblade-type broad sword that can rapidly cycle between rifle mode and sword mode. The GN Sword II is used in conjunction with another sword II and also doubles as rifle with a range of firing modes. Setsuna was less proficient with the rifle mode earlier in his career, but eventually becomes a better marksman (to the point where Graham Aker notes that Setsuna's ranged attacks are far more accurate than they were). Humongous Mecha often follow this trope, and Gundam is no exception. Most of the Gundams piloted by the various protagonists, starting with the original series, have historically been armed with a highly effective ranged weapon (typically an energy-based rifle) and a highly effective close-combat weapon (typically a beam saber). For that matter, a substantial number of the Mecha-Mooks in the series also carry and use effective (well, effective as far as mooks go) weapons of both varieties. |

The Dresden Files: Both the Knights of the Cross and the Wardens carry magical swords (holy swords for the Knights, Anti-Magic swords for the Wardens) as their primary weapons. However, the Knights' swords lose their power if used in a way that contradict their principlesnote e.g. the user breaking a promise will depower the Sword of Faith and killing a human with magic is punishable by death, so both groups round out their arsenals with firearms and high explosives. | |

Moriarty the Patriot: As the series is toward the end of the 19th century, swords and guns were both quite common, but most characters favor one or the other. William, however, favors a Sword Cane but breaks out a revolver for a number of engagements, particularly during The Two Criminals, with no blade to be seen. | |

The Three Musketeers do this, though they're better known for using swords. Since swords were the standard sidearm of the day, most of the book isn't spent in line combat, and guns of the day were single-shot weapons, it's quite understandable. | |

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has the Commando perk that make your knife attack from farther away at no cost to your ability to shoot down range, and the 'Tactical Knife' attachment for Handguns that allow you to hold your knife while using a handgun to make your knife hit faster, also at no cost to your ability to shoot with it. World at War allows for bayonets with most rifles, and the trench gun. These are actually part of the reason for some players' dislike of Modern Warfare 2, where the knife has an infamous reputation for being better than firearms, due to the knife's instant-kill property no matter where it hits on an opposing player's body, whereas almost all firearms take multiple hits to kill unless they hit the head, which is rather difficult to do intentionally. |

PAYDAY 2 allows for this to an extent, as the player characters are equipped with two guns and a Quick Melee weapon. Normally the melee is just Pistol-Whipping or even putting the gun away for a second to engage in Good Old Fisticuffs, but they can also take anything from small knives to heavy great swords and katanas. | |

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! has the Player Character Athena's Xiphos tree (having skills to make enemies bleed from your melee attacks and then also causing your shooting to benefit from that), Nisha's Order tree (largely increases survivability from taking lots of damage, but has melee and gun damage-related skills to benefit from that as well), and Claptrap's Fragmented Fragtrap (skills that relate to pretty much everything, at the cost of the mechanics causing the bonuses being Random Effect Spells with appropriate drawbacks as well that the player must constantly adapt to to maximize). | |

In any game of Dungeons & Dragons or Pathfinder where guns exist, this trope will be ubiquitous. Due to the Class and Level System, a character's chance to hit is highly dependent on whether they belong to a fighting class and their level, barring Game-Breaker exploits of the system. Every character is going to carry at least one hand weapon and at least one missile weapon, even the Squishy Wizard. Many characters are far more powerful at range or in melee, and many other characters would only resort to physical attacks when desperate, but they all will still follow this trope. If there are no guns, expect Bow and Sword in Accord to be just as common, with characters who can't use bows using slings, crossbows, or anything else they may have. | |

In Sucker Punch, the girls, other than Amber, are this. Sweet Pea uses assault rifles/shotguns (for long-range) and a claymore (for melee). Blondie uses BFGs (for long-range) and an axe (for melee). And Rocket uses assault rifles/shotguns (for long-range) and a short sword (for melee). Babydoll uses both her Sword and Gun straight-out. | |

Guts of Berserk has a gunpowder cannon built into his arm as a surprise weapon for enemies who think they have him beat. He also fits Bow and Sword in Accord, using a repeating crossbow and a set of throwing knives along with his BFS. He deviates from the general profile of both wielder types by being heavily armored (since he's a mercenary who mainly favors melee). | |

Many of the characters on The Walking Dead are this. They'll use firearms when they're far away from the walkers and/or there are a lot of them to deal with at once. But when they only need to worry about one or two at close quarters they will usually use a knife so as not to waste ammunition. | |

The Dwarvish Thunderer line of units in Battle for Wesnoth. While their primary weapons are definitely their single-shot "thundersticks", their backup daggers aren't too shabby in melee either (indeed, the basic Thunderer's dagger attack is straight-up more powerful than the human Bowman's short sword). | |

In the first two Fallout games, it was possible to switch quickly between two weapons without AP costs if equipped for that. Too close? Break out the sledgehammer. It's still possible, but not as intuitive, in the third and fourth games (you have to assign weapons to number keys, like in traditional FPS games, and New Vegas takes away one possible slot to use its key for an entirely different mechanic instead). | |

Raidou Kuzunoha XIV of Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army and Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon uses both Sword and Pistol when going against demons, and while generally the sword does better damage, guns are very useful in both games due to their secondary properties (ability to load elemental bullets in The Soulless Army, the ability to stun foes in King Abaddon). | |

A variation in Starcraft II: While all units have a single damage value (sometimes two for different target types), they can use a hidden animation if attacked in melee that does the same damage but isn't considered a ranged attack (i.e. hydralisks, queens and roaches who normally spit needles or acid will use their massive, otherwise unused except for cutscenes claws). | |

Early versions of BattleTech RPG spinoff Mechwarrior encouraged player characters to do this; to-hit rolls in infantry battles were all determined by the dexterity stat, and most of the commonly available weapons didn't have magazines that would hold more than ten combat turns' worth of fire. Reloading was a 'complex action' that took a whole turn to complete and could be interrupted, which meant that in a close-range battle it was faster and more efficient to simply draw your melee weapon (a simple action, which you could make at least two of per turn) and go to town on the nearest enemy. As the system evolved and rolls could be checked against skills, this trope became less prevalent, but is still present. Bearing in mind that Battletech is a Space Opera, the romanticized nature of melee combat on the infantry scale is in full effect. | |

Whenever she is playable, Dante's partner Trish fights with the Sparda sword and her twin pistols, Luce & Ombra. All three weapons belonged to Dante's father Sparda.

The Lords of Creation: In the Courts of the Crimson Kings is a reconstruction of the John Carter of Mars stories. The first pictures from Mars show the inhabitants are armed with firearms and swords. Some speculate that it's due to a code of honor, but it's pointed out that it would give the cheaters too much of an advantage. It turns out Martians use biotechnology guns that are slow to reload, so they need to have a backup weapon handy in the interim. | |

Left 4 Dead 2 introduced melee weapons to the franchise as an alternative to the pistol. As such, when you find a crowbar, fire axe, shovel, nightstick, knife, frying pan, or a number of other instruments of death, you have the option to carry both it and a large two-handed primary firearm. The game even encourages it with the "shove fatigue" mechanic, where you get tired from shoving too many times in sequence and need to wait longer and longer for each shove; swinging a melee weapon has no such cooldown. To compensate for the lack of range, melee deals extremely high damage in a wide arc, downing any Infected less sturdy than a Charger in one single swing. | |

Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword is set in 17th century when firearms technology were at its early stage and coexisted with older combat weapons & tactics. As such, there are lots of combatants capable in fighting with both of these weapons, like the Musketeers itself, obviously with their muskets & swords, the Russian Streltsy which is armed with older guns but carries a large battleaxe, the Zaporozhian Cossacks, formidable swordsmen who also had handmade carbines, and the heavily armored Reiters, gunpowder-era knights who traded their lances with pistols. | |

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2 has Tactical Marines which are durable units that shoot at enemies by default, but actually achieve a better damage per second with melee attacks, and have a 'Melee Resistance' aura for themselves that reduces melee damage taken (all other melee units in the game has this). A number of units in the Dawn of War series are like this, in fact, armed with both a long-range firearm and some form of melee weapon, with the player given the choice to make them use one or the other depending on the situation. They also automatically switch to melee if attacked at that range, which creates quite a headache when Crippling Overspecialization happens. Interestingly, the Tau commander has no melee attack, so he flies up, shoots at the ground, and lands, then starts again. |

Kanan and Ezra primarily use blasters in the early seasons of Star Wars Rebels, as it's the time of the Empire and pulling out a lightsaber gets a very big target on your back. Ezra's weapon even has a lightsaber and blaster mode that it switches between. This is phased out when they grow more well-known within the Empire and there's less reason to hold back the lightsabers, with Ezra going the Sword and Gun route while Kanan quits using his blaster after being blinded. | |

Richard Sharpe carries a Baker rifle and a 1796 pattern cavalry sabre. It's distinctive because rifles and muskets were only carried by the rank-and-file infantry, while swords were the weapons for gentlemanly officers. Sharpe's choice to wield both represents his rise from "the ranks". | |

In the John Carter of Mars stories, John Carter often carries (and uses) both his long sword and a radium pistol (the bullets of which have explosive warheads). | |

In Phantasy Star Online 2 and PSO2 New Genesis, a combination of a melee class and ranged subclass (and vice versa) via the Job System allows players to equip and swap between weapons such as swords, partisans, assault rifles, and launchers. | |

Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII is an interesting case because her sword and gun are combined into one weapon that changes between the two. | |

In a very literal version of this trope, in Guts & Blackpowder, every class with a firearm would be this. Since 18th century firearms take forever to reload (the fastest one in-game have a reload time of 5 seconds while boosted by a Fifer), pulling out your melee weapon to fend off zombies is done regularly. | |

In the Assassin´s Creed franchise: Connor can use up to two guns combined with either a tomahawk, a sword or even an axe. Edward can use four of them (Understandably as he is a pirate) combined with two swords of different kinds. Shay can use either normal guns or a Grenade Launcher combined with a sword and a small dagger. Arno uses pistols and rifles as well as rapiers. The Frye twins carry revolvers as well as Kukris and Cane Swords. |

Deadpool is very agile and has a teleporter, allowing him to swordfight against modern-day opponents while still having guns and grenades as projectiles. | |

Age of Empires III had musketeer units - true to the trope, their ranged attack is useful against melee-based units, but their melee attack is what makes them good against cavalry and had a better damage per second statistically. | |
