So then "small" and "light" mean the same thing.
The katana is only a single square larger though, and size is irrelevant if the weapon is eqiupped.

I personally (in vanilla) carry a scoped Assault Rifle and a pistol however I also keep a melee on me at most times. So with the Katana it becomes three (3) verticle and the top two slots have another two coming out on the right, however with a pistol it's just a 2x2 which is alot easier to store things around.

Pretty mutch.

However if your bad agenst zombies a golf club is good because it has the largest reach.

However the chainsaw is good as a tool and a mele. Still works good. Just chews through durability.

Well, except on the Russia map. Can't find a single golf club, and the worst part is I got a skin for it.

Nope, katana is a 1x3 weapon.

But when you switch between a pistol and a Katana it basically becomes a 2x3

If you want to quickly switch between the two you have to have that area open.

I don't see any situation where a katana and a pistol must be swapped out quickly.
If your inventory is too full to leave a 2x3 area open, you shouldn't continue to loot an area (And in doing so fight zombies, which is what the katana is used for).
As well as this, the Katana only requires one more slot than a butterfly knife plus pistol. And if using a carbine, a 3x2 weapon, a katana comfortably fits inside.

Yeah, you sorta still need range.
Why do sniper rifles have a longer range than other guns?

You get a sniper, i'll get a bluntforce 1v1

Going through Alberton silently when you see a player, rather than keeping the melee out, you quickly switch to your pistol so that if something happens to your primary you have a secondary ballistic weapon to switch to.
