    It was a matter of religious significance.
    You can't ascend to Valhalla as a shooter ;close mêlée combat
    was the way to release your righteous fury on wrong-doers,
    and in religious meaning to build-up the level of blood lust
    required to become warrior.

    So it has strong archetypal background , something
    which has foundation in human psyche.As old nobility used
    to say all those shooters brought down 'The Age of Chivalry'
