But, because English and the 5E books are not super technical and precise, it can be read multiple ways.
It's actually not accurate. There is an attack action. That action includes stating an attack is happening, rolling to see if it hits and applying damage.

Then there is Thors idea that the the attack, flight time, the hit and the damage are all separate instance items. This is inaccurate.

Ill get more specific in my wording here. If you attack with a one handed melee weapon that is in one hand. It does not matter if its a melee or ranged attack it applies the dueling fighting style.
