I guess I'm not exactly sure what the question is here, to be honest. Can you 
be more specific?

Personally, I'd take a handgun over a knife any day, and I suspect most 
people would. That doesn't fit with some perceptions of a superhero game, but 
as has been noted before, this is hardly your typical superhero game. 

Still, the real question is do you really want to kill your target? It's a 
lot better to use your fists if you're not trying to cause total mayhem. And 
as someone pointed out, fists are a lot quieter. 

Thanks for playing!
