Jeff, another factor is the incredible speed with which a situation can go downhill. If you have witnessed or been a party to a deadly hand to hand battle, the 2 things that really stand out is the speed and the brutality. Any sane man would pass on either witnessing or participating in such a fight. All of the dissection Doc re-produced were done well after the ugly fact. There is generally no time to use a gun. A knife is a big maybe but actually more likely. Soldiers use knives/bayonets, their helmets, entrenching tools,rifle butts, rocks...ANYTHING to survive.
