Guns run out of ammo, I actually have taken sword fighting classes for the past few years because that's how my ancestors, the Templar Knights fought mostly. I know quite a lot on swords and sword fights.

Here are the basics if anyone is interested:

Parts of a Sword:

Blade- the length of steel that may have one or more sharp edges.
Hilt- "handle" of the sword, including everything that isn't the blade.
Grip- the part of the sword designed for the hand.
Quillions- the T-shaped crossbar just above the blade that protects the hand during a parry.
Knuckle Guard- A piece of metal that curves from the quillions to the end of the hilt.
Tang- The part of the blade that fits inside the hilt.
Pommel- round knob at the end of a sword hilt.
Basket Hilt- a kind of guard designed to encircle the entire hand.


Some (not all) types of swords:

Broadsword
Dagger
Falchion
Great Sword
Rapier
Smallsword


You can contact me for more information on the subject and I can help you become a worthy swordsman.

What about longswords and scimitars?
Those are swords too, right?

Yes, but then you reload your gun and shoot the heads off those men waving swords around without getting your weapon dirty

>Unwieldy hunk of steel

Many swords were designed to be light so emphasis could be put on speed and skill. Also swordsmen were trained to be fast and light to evade an archer's arrows, so that includes bullets.

You underestimate the skill level swordsmen were trained with, they were at the peak physical and skill level possible.

They trained so hard they could dodge a bullet you say? Let's test that theory, dodge this 12 gague buck shot shell.
