Some powers require you to have a melee weapon equipped, others require you to have a ranged weapon equipped. Melee weapons are also less accurate against flying opponents. I'm pretty sure most non-combat scenes where the Champion uses their weapon assume it's a melee weapon. Aside from that, nothing AFAICT.
Technically you could use a bow as a melee weapon, you can use almost anything as a melee weapon if you can lift it.
Been a swordy-man the whole playthrough and its worked well for me, but if say... a gun fell through a portal due to Kas's reality-raping experiments would be highly tempted to switch build to ranged.

Or you can buy a gun in the caravan (if they put an old pistol in the game) that would be nice
Honestly it would be pretty cool if they were to add companions from other worlds via portals that we'd get one from a gunpowder-era world of warfare, since Kasyrra harped on so much about the setting we as PCs inhabit being primitive and backwards it would be quite a shock to all involved.
Male or female they'd be a Soldier compared to a Warrior if you get my meaning, packing an olden breech-loading rifle adorned with a bayonet. The big quest related to recruiting them in the first place would be helping them find various local equivalent resources so they could handcraft just enough materials to keep their weapon fed.
This thought is inspired by how guns are in the world of "Suikoden" where they are an extremely rare thing used by a certain guild, while the rest of the world is fighting with melee weapons and rune magic.

Pretty much one of the core design principles from the beginning has been no guns or firearms. That's written in stone and isn't going to change. The setting is a world just about to exit the Bronze Age. While Iron is known about, there's very little knowledge about how to work it properly. Not to mention that every fantasy setting at the moment seems to want people running around with flintlock-magitech guns, so its kinda refreshing that CoC2 is treating something like an Iron claymore as end-game tier material.
Given Ryn's speech about cloak pins that make peasant elves' everyday spells easier
This is a world where if you haven't the tools for the job you you alter a cantrip rather than set up a new material extraction industry
If the rune is doing the work and bronze is good enough for the rune why sweat it
These folk may not have invented toilet paper but they have mastered the infinite battery life sex toy RESPECT

If this is the Bronze Age, then surely they've advanced past the point of chiseling words into stone tablets.
