I see it more of a fantasy sort of thing, sometimes its just there to be cool. If I was going for complete realism I would have given my guy something besides a glorified meat cleaver with a saw duct tape to the back of it and less armor than a RPG female warrior.

Guns do have their uses though like hitting something you can't reach or interrupting someone's attack while you're bothered by someone else.
