bayonet has range where the sabre is better at close up i havn't used it much but i have killed alot with a bayonet

Bayonet, hands down.

The sabre is more a tool of the officer and part of his rank insignia ;)
So bayonet is always the best option for melee. Officers should "stay back" or at least use their revolver.

When I tried officer once on an empty server, it seemed that I couldn't reload my revolver. Is this normal?

That works indeed "as designed". I asked the same questions yesterday.

That is indeed so. 6 shots (or 9+1 in case of the LeMat) and that is it.

Wait, I'm confused. So once the officer fires all 6 shots he can't reload for the rest of the game? Also, the bayonets in this game are lit.

Seems like it, so the pistol is only really useful if you get it as a bonus as a sharp. I once spawned with sword, pistol and carbine, so that was awesome. But it seems you can't reload pistol, so as officer with only sword and pistol, seems like a disadvantage to actually try to fight heh.

Also agree bayonets seem the best. Any advice for sword vs fixed bayonet? The sword is longer, guessing it causes more aim issues due to the added weight?

I'm glad there isn't any sort of bayonet blocking in the game like Holdfast. It makes the melee feel quicker and more brutal. Plus you're not doing the chicken melee dance.
