Melee is a noun meaning hand-to-hand fighting in battles or a brawl. Regarding the hand-to-hand fighting, that does not mean unarmed combat, such as karate, but fighting another person directly, as opposed to shooting with a gun from a distance. Here are examples of use:

"During the melee, the musketeer's sword was knocked from his hand."

"The drunken melee outside the bar prompted nearby residents to call the police."
