This. A small, two-shell shotgun for lights would be good though.
Yeah, Double Barrel shotguns are a good idea for a civil war in 2045.
Bow and arrows do much less damage then bullets, though a short through the heart or jugular would certainly deal great amounts of damage, if not killing them. However, the Kevlar vest would completely block the arrow.
Crossbow bolts would actually do quite a bit of damage, but reloading it will take longer than the Barnett, with only half the damage output.
Throwing knifes couldn't kill unless you squarely penetrate the ribs or neck, and Kevlar would make that a large deal harder.
Tomahawks are useless unless you have the skill to hit the neck, and that's hoping Kevlar only affects the chest.
