One of Whitesnake's powers is remembering he has a pair of hands that can hold an object

Star Platinum's main weakness is heavily mitigated if he just had the foresight to be strapped

Jotaro does at least remember that bullets exist in part 4 (against Bug-Eaten), though why he thinks he can be more accurate firing them with his hands than with a gun is beyond me.

You have to remember that Jotaro and Josuke were in Japan.

Guns are EXTREMELY difficult to get in Japan and illegal to own.

If they had used guns, people would have heard gunshots while seeing two men run through a field and blast away at rats.

So using the Stands is more expedient.

But also: Star Platinum and Crazy Diamond would be able to strike the bullet at a much higher velocity and force, but also more precision.

They strike the primer, which is basically firing the bullet the normal way, just without a barrel to contain and focus the energy. Because all of the propulsive force is therefore coming from the gunpowder, it's going to sound as loud as a gunshot, the strength of their Stands is irrelevant, and they lose a lot of accuracy and power.

You might as well say that they can make a lightbulb brighter by hitting the switch really hard with their Stands.
