^ Wrong. Galatine can out-dps most guns, and you don't run the risk of no ammo or reloading. Dual Ichor/Fang Prime/Dakra Prime can do much the same, depending on how you build them. Except Ogris/Penta ofc, but those will kill you as well if you don't know what you're doing. Not to mention frames with invisibilty amplify this.

Not to mention there are MANY times when you'd rather go melee then shoot, especially when soloing. Ammo is a concern unless you like using aura's/ammo mutation's for that kind of thing - many don't. Also useful to have a melee that knocks down enemies on a slam attack for a quick getaway or just so you can kill them without risk.

Generally, atm, melee = conserve ammo / utilty via knockdown and coptering. This will probably chainge soon as Melee 2.0 is just around the corner.
