Does Reloading Strike (G&G 108) allow you to make an unarmed Strike when you have a gun or crossbow in one hand and a one-handed melee weapon in the other?

"Strike an opponent within reach with your one-handed melee weapon (or, if your other hand is empty, with an unarmed attack)"

If you have a weapon you need to strike with it. You can only make an unarmed attack if your hand is empty.

*sighs* That's what I was afraid of. Seems an odd restriction.

The whole point of the Way is that you use a gun and rapier or something, like the iconic swashbuckler archetype. Why would it allow you an unarmed attack if you have a sword in hand? Are you gonna kick or bite someone instead?

Your melee weapon/unarmed attack will never be as good as your gun, so it doesn't really matter.

Just seems conceptually odd that I can't kick or bite someone because...reasons.
