This is actually easier to handle in a futuristic mud than a fantasy mud, IMO. Fantasy muds have ranged weapons as well (bows, crossbows, wands, throwing knives, etc), but you also have to balance them against melee weapons, because that's what the majority of people tend to use. However in a futuristic setting it's generally accepted that someone with a knife is toast if they face off against someone armed with a gun.
