Archery requires stealth, and in general, already having the upper hand on the target. A gun can be concealed, and drawn quickly enough for it to be useful against an ambush. In general, rifles can shoot more accurately from farther away, pistols can be used more quickly in short range combat. Automatic weapons can be fired multiple times consecutively. Switching a 30- round magazine takes less time than reloading, drawing and releasing a single arrow.
Arrows are beneficial sometimes but if I had to choose only have one thing, unless i was out specifically looking for food or looking for trouble, it would be some sort of pistol.
