Mantle had rifles with bayonets. Now, I'm not an expert on guns, but to my knowledge, when a rifle is built to stick a bayonet on the end of it, that usually means it has a low rate of fire and may even be slow to reload. In which case, a bow might have a slightly faster rate of fire/reload time, and spears and swords don't need to reload. Plus, you have the existence of Aura, so people could take a couple or so hits on their way running up to the person with the rifle.

In the final battle, it's entirely possible that Vale's king used a Relic or something. That, or he's the soul that went to Ozpin and gave Ozpin his amazing power.
