Note: This is mostly Just for Fun.

To put it simply, this is a list of tropes from Guns and Gunplay Tropes and I Like Swords (or another tropes from Weapons and Wielding Tropes) which has similar concept to each other, the difference being the weapon used: Melee - Range. For example, "X Trope from Guns and Gunplay Tropes is Y Trope from I Like Swords WITH GUNS!" And vice versa.

Related to The Musketeer, Guns vs. Swords and its opposite Sword and Gun, all of them combines swords and guns.
