Do I have to use guns to achieve A+ scores in Hotline Miami 2?

It definitely seems off for me for the sequel, in which I seemingly have to rely on guns to achieve A+ scores. In Hotline Miami 1 it was simple getting A+ scores with melees or fists, but Hotline Miami 2 seems to have much more emphasis on guns over fists.
Is it possible to even get an A+ score with melees/fists? I've been trying over an hour or so and the closest I've come is a B average on most levels.
Do I have no choice but to bring guns?
