why can't we just ignore the fact that charging into a room with a katana might get you killed when raiding with a gun might also get you killed?

Couldn't you just say you can run into a room and punch someone to death then? This makes no sense.

It's about risk, you've got a good chance of killing someone with a gun, not with a katana.

The risk can be mitigated by smart planning and tactical movement, like any other raid. The difference is that you have a reasonable time to kill with melee weapons with a chance to disarm your attacker, as well as disrupting the defender's formation to the benefit of your other raiders. Raiding with fists is suicide, raiding with a katana is not.

you've got better chances at winning 20mil on slots and winning a fist raid than killing someone with a walther PPK mid raid, if a walther ppk is allowed any melee should be as well

Realistically this is kinda just the type of thing that only negatively effects the person choosing to melee raid, and if they are choosing to do so then you might aswell just let them do their thing

I've been talking about this with my friends and have always wondered why it hasn't been a thing. I'm 100% for it. I agree the risk of raiding is already putting you're life at danger. So nothing really changes. Let me just put a scenario into your minds. 1v1 in coms stations. one has a katana and the other has a walther PPK. The guy with the melee can be weaving and sprinting while swinging. If that guy doesn't kill the melee weapon guy in 7 shots, he's 99% of the time dead to the melee weapon. That's what I think whenever I consider this rule.
