Again, it's a matter of taste... I like all sorts of different flavors of Westerns... some are ultra-violent... some aren't.

Not really. Even with a low amount of gunfighting, the results don't change, just the frequency. Sooner or later weapons will be used, at least somewhat. Once that happens it is simply a case of mathematics. With no armor to speak of an no parry, and limited dodging, the casualty rate will be high. Much higher than it was historically.
Melee combat had things like armor, shields and parries to mitigate the weapon damages. With CoC it din't matter much, since you were lucky if the opposition were using firearms.
With BRP two shots from most firearms will take most characters down to zero HP.
