The difference is that maybe not every character has a talent for Aura. I hate using Naruto as an example, but in Naruto you have Chakra control, hand-to-hand combat, and illusion as the three main forms of attack. This could be equated to RWBY's Aura, Weapons, and Semblance (not exactly the same, but close enough for the sake of this example). Anyway, there are those that have excellent Chakra control like Sakura, but other characters like Naruto have terrible control and Lee can't use it at all.

In RWBY, we have seen Rin and Pyrrha show high levels of Aura control, as well as Pyrrha showing her skill with Semblance. However Ruby, Nora, and Weiss haven't shown any kind of skill in Aura and only Weiss as shown to have any advanced control over her Semblance. Meanwhile Ruby and Nora are two of the strongest weapon users in the series, along with Blake and Yang.

Anyway, it could also be that you need the correct weapon for the job. Rin's weapon would be good against a large group of weaker Grimm (like those bees Cardin was going to unleash on Pyrrha), but Ruby and Yang would be at a disadvantage. Maybe because he is so confident in his ability to fight large creatures, he uses the gun to cover his weaknesses against large groups of smaller targets.

Lastly, is this even about Weiss anymore? The topics keep changing from Weiss, to Weiss' family, to the SDC, to the WF, to if Beacon should teach Aura exclusively...also, it appears that I have been pants.
