That is, until you realize, that we have only one Sword who only fights at close range (Mikoto), while the other two are perfectly capable of fighting within the range of Akane's gun. A non-sniping Gun is pretty useless when you have Swords throwing daggers that can cut through bullets no problem. You would think that Akane would at least have the speed of the bullets as an advantage, but as we've seen, it doesn't matter.
Edit: I suppose you can think of Guns and Magics as being support units rather than Swords who should be on the front lines. In that case, I would think that another Gun or Magic would be introduced to prevent it from feeling like only Swords matter and for bringing out how Guns and Magics should really fight.
Technically speaking, i am a weapon otaku myself (and yes, i am not ashamed)...
True magic is a variable weapon, but they are using ELEMENTAL magic and Natsuru has one of the strongest natural elements to boot... It can be made into a makeshift melee item such as when you immolate your hand to white flame and proceed attacking with the immolated hand... Also, i think that his flame elemental may have come from a Phoenix, dragon, a kitsune/inari or a fire elemental because even a fireball has enough damage to blow the other two kampfers away (as shown in eps 6)...For Akane, it would be better for her to be mid range since she is carrying a 1911 .45 which if memory serves me right, has no automatic mode like the beretta (forgot the model), a certain glock, the Steyr TMP machine pistol, and a micro-UZI (not the normal UZI)... Unless she uses her pistol like a tonfa or club, she's not gonna go anywhere near melee unless its for the finishing move...
a skilled sword can even deflect bullets by ricocheting them or as shizuku did, cut them in two... If natsuru can, he can even obliterate his opponent by his fire if it werent for his own kindness (albeit dense, thickheaded and oblivious to the girls' feelings) and his quest to know moderator's intentions...
