The sword is intentionally worse than the egun. This is so that if you take the sword, it's almost sort of a Showing Off kind of thing, like "I don't need a gun, I have a fancy sword!". It's a *flex*.
If you make it so the sword is the default and the (far stronger) egun is a reward you earn, you give the sword a stigma of being a thing that New Players Have, and you make it feel more like a *temporary downgrade* from normal gameplay. IMO this ruins the whole thing I was going for with the sabre !
I think that's why I'm in favor of giving the sword by default, and making the gun a thing that has to be worked towards.
Not through timelocks or job rewards though, but through knowledgeable gameplay
