Spears are often overlooked. The human race has done quite a lot with spears. Mammoth hunting etc.
As for guns vs bows, they have such different strengths and weakness that a 'winner' would be down purely to the exact details of the scenario. TL is right that neither should be discounted. Even if you don't have an FAC, that is no reason not to learn how to use a gun. I can still field-strip a Colt 1911 blindfolded, and handguns have been banned for... I don't even remember how long.
