Something a lot of people seem to over look when they talk about knife v. gun. The gun is still a weapon even if you don't/can't pull the trigger. A handgun can be used as a set of brass knuckles for instance, Or could be used to block the knife (Put a group of martial artist in a room with knives and training guns and watch what happens) and shoot in almost any direction.

And while it is a over simplification. There really is only one rule that makes a knife fight different.
Control the knife (or any weapon).

There is no superior weapon. Only a weapon that fits the situation better. A hammer drives a nail, but can still put a screw in wood. Just not the best way.
