If Kirito is such a "gary stu" then why does he choose

No, because swords are cooler.

Nah mate, it's like saying a character is plain-looking or clumsy but otherwise god-like at anything they attempt.

The sword is the weapon that takes the most skill. Also why it cost more than the guns

Devs probably knew its op so they probably overpriced it so that lategamers wouldn't bother

Because it's more Gary Stu to bring a knife to a gun fight and win anyway.

Deathgun was actually about to kill Kirito in a 1v1 before Sinon shot Deathgun.

>Kirito tried his best to take out Deathgun but couldn't win without getting the 2v1 clutch
>Kirito didn't dual wield in his duels against Yuuki
>Kirito didn't even use that Excalibur he had against Yuuki

Deathgun>Yuuki>Kirito
Arguably, Kirito was a stronger duelist than Yuuki the entire time but he went easy on her because she was dying.

Also, let's not forget that although Kirito is Jesus in video games, he's a shitty fighter in real life. He got his ass handed to him against his sister in a real life Katana fight. He also got destroyed by Kyōji Shinkawa despite the fact Kirito jumped the guy in Sinon's apartment.

Yeah Kirito is sort of a Gary Stu but it mostly stems from how almost all girls absolutely fall in love with him whenever they meet him despite his bland personality. If you want an absolute Gary Stu you have to consider characters like Yusei Fudo.
