some classes just cant use
some classes just cant use certain weapons for example a paladin cant use a staff instead try using a gun it may not look as good but it stil does the trick
I'm not sure that's the case
I'm not sure that's the case here, though; my dwarven Warrior uses a bow. Warriors can use any weapon except wands and relics.
Not all Weapon Masters know all weapons. The only Alliance Weapon Master who can teach you to use a bow is in Ilyena Moonfire in Darnassus (Horde has several, so I'm guessing that's not your case.) The Weapon Master should have a conversation option of "What can other Weapon Masters teach?" That'll lead you to the right person.

Me again. Anonymous (the first reply) touched upon an important point about Warriors; the gun/bow thing isn't that important, because Warriors really don't get much mileage out of their ranged weapons. We're melee fighters, so the only thing we do with ranged weapons is to pull monsters (mobs) away from larger groups, so we can fight them 1-on-1 instead of 1-on-3.
Hunters have the Autoshot ability, which allows them to fire every 1-2 seconds, depending on weapon speed. Warriors don't have that, and consequently, we get about one shot every 3-4 seconds. Out in the field, this means that you'll get one shot off, maybe two, before the mob is right in your face.
My suggestion, then, is to take what you can get in regards to ranged weapons. Don't spend money buying better guns or bows as you level, because it makes very little difference in how your fights go down. A vendor bow or a quest reward should suit your needs. And for goodness' sake, if you're grouping with a hunter, and a monster drops a ranged weapon, do not roll on it (neither Need nor Greed). The Hunter will get far more use out of that weapon than you will.
