Projectile weapons were invented for the simple reason that the closer you are to the enemy, the easier it is for them to kill you.

since nothing spoils the day like bleeding to death from a sword in the face, it is much preferred to see your enemy bleeding to death before they can reach you.

and so, the projectile weapon was invented....
