Is it really sensible to completely neglect melee if it's a setting where melee combat not only works but is effective? That seems more like those MTG players who get angry about other decks winning because they're not 'Playing Right'.

Melee works for superpowered death machines and endless-wave tactics where survival doesn't even register. For normal, average soldiers, melee is a last ditch, desperation move before you're brutally murdered by aforementioned superpowered death machines and/or endless waves.

I once had a guardsman sgt punch out Ghazghkull Thraka. Many of your bros will die cuz the odds are always unfair. Sometimes though, they might just become heroes.

Man that Pulse Carbine looks so sexy

Will the knees option result in the dying part to happen a little bit later? Because that makes a difference.
