The original military units on which the story is based were elite companies of aristocratic royal bodyguards, armed with the latest high tech weapons. They would fight in pitched battle as what we would refer to as dragoons but when doing their bodyguarding and intelligence work or just stooging around town getting in to fights used swords and other close combat weapons more in keeping with their noble man-at-arms heritage.
The orginal real life D'Artangnan was a French aristocrat who worked as a spy for the French chief minister Mazarin.
