heres a scenario that will answer your question, but keep in mind the weapons of the time were single shot and then it took alot of time to reload...

Your in the wilderness about to take out a single soldier who is patrolling the area so you take aim and fire but you miss with your rifle and the guard spots you and fires at you but also misses so instead you have two choices, take two minutes of your time to reload taking the chance that he might have a pistol in which he could run up and blow your brains out or you could charge at him with your sword,giving him no time to reload or even reach for his pistol and then you drive the end of the sword straight through his abdomen
