In addition to Action 2, you should also check out Action 3: Furious Fists. That has a lot of good advice about allowing meleeists to flourish in an environment with lots of guns. In particular, the box "Some Bulletproof Advice" on p. 24 is particularly relevant. I especially like the suggestion of using some cinematic rules like Melee Etiquette, TV Action Violence, etc. for Trained By a/Weapon Master characters, even if you don't use them for anyone else.
