Swords have unlimited hits depending on the person while a gun is just limited by its size, noise despite what you use to muffle it. A blade, you can decorate with jewels and inscriptions on the blade and there are many different kind of swords. With a gun it is all about range,accuracy and precision.

In close combat and why?

If beauty and style is what you want then a sword is great. If it is a question of defending your life, I would take the gun. A sword with unlimited 'hits' doesn't mean anything if a bullet just went through your heart.

Range, accuracy and precision are important, but a sword takes more training and skill to use, even more so if you are fighting someone else armed with a sword. Swords don't run out of ammo. Swords dont jam. There is no advantage to decoration with jewels and inscriptions as you said, but you can do the same for a gun. I run my own martial arts school and I am also in the military so I train and use both. I would certainly say the sword takes more skill to use properly and effectively. I can put an M-16 in anyones hand and give them 5 minutes of instruction and they can hit the target, but I cannot do the same with a sword. It takes years of practice.

Compared to a gun a sword is rather slow. A single pull of the trigger is all that is required to strike while a sword requires a great deal more movement and effort to utilize. And while anyone who owns a gun should be reasonably well trained, it does not require hours of daily practice to hit a man sized target across the room. A sword requires a completely different type of skill and greater physical conditioning to utilize with any efficiency.
As for style, there are guns engraved and with gold inlays to rival any sword. I just saw last night were S&W has been commissioned to create two guns for each state with the new state quarters done in gold on eac side of the gun. Those 100 guns will take more than two years to complete. The workmanship I saw was excellent.

A sword is more stylish and can do a lot of damage up close. But a gun looks more intimidating and can do a lot of damage up close and far away.

It depends how close you are. If its sniper vs. dagger, it depends how close you are. 100 meters away, the sniper owns, but 1/2 a meter away, the sniper is skrewed.
