Guns are badass and everything, and I certainly wouldn't downplay the skill and strategy required to put them to effective use, but I do beleive that they lack the romanticism that good old melee weapons have. I do worry, however, about how warfare is becoming increasing impersonal, a trend that started when guns came into use. I wonder what it'll be like when war consists of nothing more than battle between automated systems and remotely operated drone weapons. Financial attrition, perhaps? Will nations hesitate to go to war even less that they do today (which isn't much anyway) since the only significant result is a loss of funds?
War is horrible, but perhaps it's better that way. It makes peace decidedly more appealing.
Now as far as specific weapons go, I don't think you can go wrong with a nice, reliable quarterstaff. Not as flashy as a sword, but every bit as deadly in the right hands. People will tend to underestimate you, as well.

When I become an Evil Overlord my Legions of Terror will be an equal-opportunity employer. Conversely, when it is prophesied that no man can defeat me, I will keep in mind the increasing number of non-traditional gender roles.

It is my lifelong goal to make my dieing scream as horrible as possible.

A old busted sword that would transform when I take it out of the sheaf. OR a cross punisher, that thing kick planet sized ass . . . and its shiny. but then again I do like to use my own body to fight (even when I get my ass kicked but i always come back and cut their shins of with my giant Tetsaiga( which when transformed I can barely hold up) )
