Melee weapons are used in situations where silence is required, since small arms are not silent, except perhaps a pistol with a silencer. Anyone who masterfully wields edged weapons, be it a knife, a hatchet, a sword, and so on, is an experienced and skillful warrior. You can throw a knife at anyone so that it pierces with the tip and does not fall flat. You can try it yourself in the game Knife Master. The task is to throw the knife so that it sticks into a nearby object and thus you will advance through the location in Knife Master.
