Of course, Kurapika can't use a number of his chains (I forget which ones and I'm too lazy to look it up) due to them only being used for the Troupe, but he still has a gun. And, unless the assassin is an enhancer with lots of concentration, there's no way he can withstand a gun. Given that Uvo was able to bite a bullet mid-flight at point blank and block a bazooka with 1 hand with his response being "damn that hurts", and sustaining 0 injury in either cases. I do not think a handgun is gonna be of much use against experienced Nen users in general, especially Enhancers but not limited to.

EDIT: other more powerful guns would be another thing, though. You gotta remember that Uvo had really tough skin to begin with. With his Nen, he was able to make his body nigh-impenetrable. Even if this assassin is an Enhancer that has mastered his category, I doubt he'd be able to make his body that strong. Mostly because I doubt he's ever had to so he would be unsure if he could even do it and by the time he thinks of something he can do, it'll be too late.

@Cheshire: I don't doubt that Kurapika doesn't need a gun. I was just saying he does have it as a last resort.
