You may be missing the point (sorry about the pun). Bringing a knife to a gun fight is a desperate act. If you're unlucky enough to get in such a crappy position, having an equalizer might keep you alive, especially as most regular soldiers are not expert at melee. Not everyone's a Marine or specforce operator that "knows what they're doing" with a blade.
