Hm, I think I'd take mild exception to this characterization.
It's not as if the weapon is irrelevant, but training and
experience are very, very important.  IMO, in real life, I'd 
rather have an untrained oaf shooting at me with a 10mm 
automatic than have a Delta Force trooper shooting at me with 
a .22 revolver.  Or, to get away from the guns, I'd rather see
an untrained oaf swinging a two-handed sword at me than a Navy
Seal coming at me with a 'mere' combat knife.

If anything, I think the variation in the deadliness of TFT
weapons may be TOO great, compared to reality.  But it works
well in the game.
