Also, beyond just the sound aspect, I though the ranged weapon transmorg exception was also because the ranged weapons tended to be more specifically tied to various in-game cultures than melee weapons.
For example, a night elf hunter with a gun doesn't seem right; and similarly, a dwarf with a bow just looks odd.
But for melee weapons, the same stuff doesn't really apply. For example, there are examples of orc lore warriors with every melee weapon, and same for human warriors.
So I though the ranged weapon transmorg exception was also sort of a role-playing exception because of those closer cultural associations.
