What about heroes with swords and villains with guns?

Not sure about guns, but in swords and knives knifes are villainous. Knives are easily concealed and are associated with murderers.

Knives are also meant to kill. It's easier to heal from a sword cut than a stab.

>honorable
heroes dont have the luxury for honor, when innocent lives are on the line, they have to eliminate the threat immediatly

The Hunted had a great fucking knife fight at the end.

>A knife fight is a lot more honourable than a gun fight
Knives aren't for dueling though, they're for sneaking up on someone and killing them before they even know you have a weapon. Knife fighting is just a movie fantasy.

>have guns
>run into slashing distance of the guy with the sword
Is this.... Dare I say it...

I don't think it's done for any purpose other than to create tension. Imagine is Matrix just shot Bennett when he saw him, that would be quite anticlimactic.

Thugs can only afford shitty knifes

Heroes have guns because of taxes
