Fallout 4: Switching Between Automatic Weapons and Melee Weapons

I have been experimenting with a character that uses Automatic weapons and Melee.  Automatic weapons have the weakness of using a lot of ammo.  I save a lot of ammo using melee that I can use later with my Automatic weapons.  Melee weapons are great for sneak attacks and can one shot kill an opponent when using a combination of stealth perks.  But if you are caught out in the open against a lot of opponents Melee can be kind of weak.  I use my Automatic weapons to blast my way out of those situations.  I find that these two styles of play are very complimentary since they are so very different.  I will post more observations about this type of play style as I get more experience.
