I wouldn't say all those melee weapons have the same function. An axe has all its power focused in a single area. A massive sword is more difficult to wield, but has a much bigger range. That's the difference. If you were changing a longsword to a katana, I'd probably be inclined not to care. Illusory shapeshifting won't let you change the range of a weapon. Similarly, a beam is functionally different to a bullet. If you're just using different types of guns which fire the same projectile, then that's fine.
Curious about me and the characters I play? See the 'Staff' page! See also the rosters for my characters Samus Aran or Enel if you'd like to see examples of well-formatted rosters. Hope you enjoy the Omniverse!
