The person who uses "^" is attempting to apply too much logic to something that doesn't, in fact, use half of it.

Regardless of whether or not reverse gripping a blade works or not in real life, it works here.

In this game, reverse gripping the blade doesn't shorten your range, it increases your mobility, and doesn't reduce precision or power in any sense. Reverse gripping isn't the reason for Tenno in this game dying. Carelessness, ignorance, and failure to properly observe the surroundings are.

No historical record that you'll ever pick up matters. The developers of this game, to put it frankly, don't give a shit. They thought it was a good idea, they enjoyed the way it looked, and they modeled and programmed it into the game. That's just about how much they care for historical records, effectively, or reality.

Bullets don't kill Tenno, in any sense. At most, they serve as a minor inconvienience. They do, however, break the laws of physics. Stomp Rhino Stomp, the ability where you stomp hard enough that you disrupt time, causing enemies around you to tumble in stasis. Because applying real life logic to something that can do that make sense.

Bullets harming Tenno also has no barring on reverse gripping a blade. In a fire fight the most effective thing would be to use a long range weapon instead of a short range weapon in which you'll have to open yourself to fire. In real life, this would matter.

Your logic doesn't even work with the lore. Just look at the weapons. Read the mini lore in them. The Orokin don't care about anything more than looks. Glaive Prime is a "deadly" and beautiful weapon. Never mind that its damage is low, that throwing it leaves you defenseless, and that mid-air detonation is also hazardeous for the user, IT'S A "beautiful weapon."

Also, "Case in point"*

We will keep dreaming, because it's a video game. The fantasy is the purpose of its existance.
