1.  Dread does Blade damage, not Serrated Blade. There is a difference.

2.  The damage system is getting away from certain damage types being only used for melee or only used for ranged weapons. That said, Paris and Paris Prime both use Impact Damage which is the same damage used for Blunt melee weapons, so the rationale you are using regarding red crits is not sound.

3.  All that said, I have yet to find solid information on both what weapons are allowed to do a red crit and what isn't AND how these crits are triggered. I think until we know that, I would not count on these (or count them out) for any damage output on any weapon.
