The main reasons hand guns guns are so widely used is their massive range and ease of use, not their overwhelming destructive power. Cowards enjoy the idea of being able to kill and maim without putting themselves in great danger, and without any real training that would teach them what battle is really about. Of course both sides of a given conflict often think in this same way and the result is a bunch of idiots and thugs with no clue what they are doing carrying around or leaving laying about, weapons which can kill many people without much work at all. It's barbaric really.

Anyways, a sword slash/stab would do more damage than a shot from a standard hand gun pretty much every time if they hit the same area, although is some cases like the head or the heart, the end result will be the same regardless of the initial damage.

The more you know.
