* In ''JadeEmpire'', one of the characters you encounter is Sir Roderick Ponce von Fontlebottom the Magnificent Bastard (voiced by JohnCleese) who keeps dueling people with his arquebus called [[ICallItVera Mirabelle]] and, of course, winning, since the people of the [[FantasyCounterpartCulture Jade Empire]] have never seen a firearm (they assume it simply makes fireworks). The player can challenge Sir Roderick and get his weapon after beating him. One of the styles available to the player is sword-fighting.

Added Modern Warfare 2
Added DiffLines:
* In ''ModernWarfare2'' a ludicrously effective strategy is using Marathon (for unlimited sprinting), Lightweight (to move faster), and Commando (which lets you stab enemies from a longer distance away) - and use a pistol with a tactical knife attachment (to stab faster). Essentially, this lets you dash everywhere and stab everyone for a one-hit kill. Granted, if someone sees you coming, they can gun you down from a distance pretty easily, but ninja-ing your way through the maps is still quite effective.

* It's a notable historical fact that when guns were first introduced, they were so unreliable that many still preferred swords. Essentially, when pitting a sword against a gun, the gunman had one shot. If he misses (and he usually did), the swordsman would have all the time he needs to close in and cut down the defenseless opponent while he was trying to reload his gun. Of course this flaw was later corrected, and swords eventually fell out of favor, as guns grew more reliable.

Onimusha example
Added DiffLines:
* In ''{{Onimusha}} 2'', you can have a competition with the gunfighter to see which is better: Your katana or his rifle, seeing who can kill the most enemies in a fixed period of time. Of course, this is a katana against a 16th century matchlock. In real life, the gunman would have only been able to shoot a handful of times in the timeframe involved.

* In the later ''FinalFantasy'' games, the two exist side by side, mostly due to {{Charles Atlas Superpower}}s as well as Magic being prominent. Some examples:
** ''FinalFantasyVII'': Barrett's weapons range from big metal balls to Gatling guns, all of which attach to his right arm. Vincent uses a rather large pistol, while Cloud uses a BFS. Regular soldiers are seen wielding assault rifles, and heaver mechanized weapons do exist.
** ''FinalFantasyVIII'': Irvine uses a rifle while Zell beats on things with his fists. Laguna uses an assault rifle and grenades, but his parter Kiros uses Katals. Squall's gunblade is just a sword that can detonate on impact for extra damage.
** ''FinalFantasyXII'' is where things get a little interesting. The airships are armed with heavy machine guns, but for ground combat, swords and armor is the preferred method of fighting. The man-portable guns that do exist are of the Blunderbuss variety.
** ''FinalFantasyXIII'' takes it one step further. Assault rifles are now the default weapons for armies, along with grenade launchers and the occasional baton. Lightning uses a weapon that converts between a gun and a sword, Snow punches things, and Sazh uses dual pistols that combine into a rifle.
