In a mugging situation a pistol out guns a melee weapon so a pistol is a higher grade of weapon then a melee weapon.
Melee>pistol>big guns
But that is my point of view
I know the rule states they cant optain big weapons but i believe they mean aks. snipers etc etc
P.s im at work hence why i cannot review your app fully as i cannot open your proof .
