I hate situations in FPS games when you have a gun, but can't seem to land a shot on someone right in front of you at point-blank range when they have a knife and a bit of maneuverability, because the developers didn't take the balance and mechanics of extremely close gunplay into consideration as much as they should have.

Well there's always going to be something that "irks" everyone about the game, but that alone is not a very solid justification for calls for changes in gameplay.
warning! real life analogy incoming
Your face to face with an opponent in grappling range, which weapon do you want, a bolt action rifle, LAW anti tank launcher, or combat knife?
Game Balance question:
To make up for a weapon having pretty much zero range and no splash or ae damage, what advantages should it have?
..Oh and I did get away with it most of the time... does that make me Rambo?
