The thing is, I don't think that bullets in the rwby world a very powerful. Unless it's directly to the head, shots are almost never enough to seriously hurt enemies. As such, I'm not sure that's so great a difference, between throwing knives and a gun.

Can Zuko firebend through his swords or something? If he can't, and he has to basically choose one or the other, that's significant.
