On the firearms point. Ghost Face actually wears protective equipment under the costume!
Him just being a regular human in fact is also an important point. Notably, Ghost Face is prone to clumsy human error. He trips, gets slammed in the head by a door. All of the Ghostface iterations also died after regular fatal wounding.
He’s the most “real” of spooky serial killers while still maintaining a horror villain appearance, which makes him so great
Yeah, in movie one, Rose McGowan’s character actually puts up an extremely competent defense while using her environment. She has him completely on the back foot. She knocks him prone with the freezer door, hurls beer bottles at his groin and face and trips/throws him onto the steps. Her mistake was going full idiot and running back to the door that she already knows is locked, and confirms that… yep, still locked. And then she reaches 99% of the way for the garage door button but then doesn’t fucking push it. Instead, after bodily flipping Ghostface, she runs to exit through the too small dog door. Then, of course, Ghostface stands up, pushes the button she should have used, and kills her.

Rose McGowan is a badass. I bet the competent defense was improv, but she was contractually obliged to get killed in the end.
Ghostface is also slightly supernatural with the mask on. Everyone dressed as Ghostface is 6’, and pretty fuckin’ strong.
