I enjoy the gunslinger mainly for the throwing knife. It never gets old throwing that thing out and nailing someone in the head. If you have your perk tree setup right, you get instant cool down on the knife if you hit with a critical. Don't even need Monte Carlo. I have one. Used to use it with the hunter but, I really don't like that gun. I agree: when I got it and saw the awesome bayonet, I felt it should have a bayonet stab instead of the normal melee.
