You have no idea where they are. You have to sweep, if you're gonna go looking for them because you have others in the house that you need to protect. Come around a corner, one bad guy grabs the weapon and points the barrel away from him. His buddy comes running when he hears the struggle. Now, you aren't fighting them, you're just fighting to keep your weapon away from them.
In the same scenario, if you were armed with a handgun, you come around the corner, the guy makes a grab for you, you push him away with your free hand and put a pair in him. Eh, what could/might/will happen. Who knows?
