Well, this promoter (although hiding it) is a mechanical soldier, he can take on even Stage IV Gastrea, head on. So his fine with being up close, and he has a gunblade, in the cases of close combat, being able to swap it during mid range to a shotgun mode, and assemble his AUG for distance, while adjusting it if they come back into mid. xD
I'd assume even for mechanical soldiers its pointless to get in close when they have a initiator. Even mechanical soldiers don't really seem better than initiators lol. Well it depends really. The anime probably just haven't gotten to the uber super powered mechanical soldiers yet lol.
