A gunner defeats a swordsman is not something to be proud of, its not unsual and is expected. But when a swordsman wins against a gun then that will make crowd roar.
So a 90 pound 15 years girl with a gun defending her family from a 200 pound man in armor and a sword is not heroic?

I personally think Gun is the great equalizer in warfare, allowing the weak and infirm compete with the so called "strong"

On other hand, I could see why sword fights are more exciting. Anime/manga need time to fill up frames/minutes....if after 20 frames and 10 minutes of show no one get hit, it make the hero and the villain look like idiots.
