But the UAV’s are manned to an extent. It’d be one ground pilot against another. My feeling is that when your plane is out of missiles what are you left with? Guns. And the one who is up on ACM will win the day.

True, that's why they mounted a 20mm machine gun into the F-4 because once your missiles are gone, that's it. I know most UAV's are remotely controlled now, the downside is with a radio signal, thy can be jammed, skyjacked or just plain hacked into.
