Fencers vs Cowboys

[N_A]

At close range, you have to turn faster and more to aim, not to mention theres more pressure to fire blind and when the enemy moves just a little you have to reaim alot. This is a fact that fighter pilots for example, use when they are under heavy AA gun fire. They fly low and close, causes the gunners to panic, and the angle change of the fighter changes alot faster than you can turn the turrets. As opposed to flying high where the AA guns can shoot you down with minumum turning angles. This is a fact that tanks also take advantage of, although both of these are at a slightly augmented scale because of the nature of their size.

You don't dodge bullets, think of it as making it extremely difficult for them to aim and hit.

Thats why in close combat, high magazine count pistols, knives, daggers, shovels, swords, etc. excel over using your rifle, or the pistol when you have to reload your magazine.
