** The monster shrugs off a literal nuclear explosion (heck, let's just make that billionfold), but the moment you poke at it with a twig, it dies in the most dramatic, hammy way possible.

** The work is set in early/pre-Renaissance period where guns really aren't much good.
** The work is set in a future where ranged weapon technology has reached its peak and can't get any better, while defenses continue to improve. Methods that melee weapons use to defeat armour, like HotBlade or {{Vibroweapon}}, don't work with projectiles.

* '''Zig Zagged''': Guns are effective in open spaces, but really hard to use in enclosed ones. Guns are less devastating than close combatants with SuperStrength, until someone brings the BFG... That can only used from prone position, meaning the wielder is defenseless against any close combat enemy who sneaks up on him. Also, guns are worthless for stealth operations. Unless someone brings a suppressor and specialized ammo... Meaning the gun's firepower just got downgraded.
