What's wrong with this picture?

One solution (I believe there are some caly blades that do this) is to make a melee weapon that uses ammo instead of its TT value to do damage to the mob. Basically, like a melee gun.

However, the fact is that there are so many low cost UL melee blades, all the way up the skill ladder, that L melee blades aren't as useful as L guns are.
