Try reading John Keegan's books on ancient warefare. I think you will fins out that bladed weapons killed and maimed many thousands of ancient warriors.
As for the lethality of a knife close up or a gun. I'd rather have a gun pointed close range at me because it is easier to take it away than a knife. You can grab the gun and use it as a lever to pry it out of the hand. You can't do that with a knife. You have to parry and fight to get the knife.
