Too powerful is to powerful is to powerful.As I said: reality is really nice as long as it doesn't get in the way of game balance. Then there's that little matter that running around with a sword will mark you as a madman. Running around with a gun will mark you as a criminal (at the most). Pistols are powerful enough as they are, even without threatening an area. And this is no popularity contest, it's a game.Yea, firearms. Funny we're talking only about sidearms, though. About handguns. Firearms include rifles, SMG's shotguns, and machine guns. Which would get the shaft if you made pistols, MP's and revolvers threaten an area (especially if it really were 30 ft or something).Also, Pistols in melee versus 15' away: I'd also prefer to have that enemy right in front of me. He might not hold out his arm, but I could still try to grap that gun and point it away from me. I cannot do that if I'm almost 5 Meters away from the gunner. And if I tried the same move with a guy holding those unpopular swords, I'd lose some fingers.</blockquote>
