You two just pissed all over it without bothering to actually finish reading the entire thing and taking parts of it out of context. No, you took up a style of weapon, described it as similar to an unrelated weapon while simultaneously calling it rare, saying no-one would beat it because they didn't know how to adapt to that style based on lack of experience. I called you on that BS, you blew up over it, described the style as always winning because the user would prevent situations in which they were at a disadvantage, which again I called you on.

The fact is unless you clarify what kind of gun variant vs what kind gun variant, super-long/long range is and always should be considered a wash, while the scythe and sword are each preferable at different ranges, the sword most likely being somewhat shorter and lighter and thus taking advantage at the closest possible range.
