Interestingly enough, melee weapons are still often used in modern warfare. While not swords but machete's, axes/tomahawks, and a large variety of knifes are still used. I mean your are 100% correct they aren't the main weapon of nearly anyone, they are still super effective in close quarters. In fact within 21 feet or so they are typically considered MORE effective than firearms unless you already have the weapon drawn, aimed, and ready to fire.
