You are right Sin, However if we look at the arsenal we can see some of the weapons could be virtually useless against Dracula.

Wristblades - The wristblades are the predator's basic weapon. They all carry one and from what is know if removed the subject dies. There looks to be some sort of molecular bonding between them and the user. It's an elegant weapon mostly used when the prey is less challenging or as a last resource.
I could see this being a possible good weapon, however if Dracula is faster that the Predator it does no good. IIRC correctly Dracula is able to move much faster than the Predator.
Combistick - This elegant weapon is mostly used when facing several foes or tougher aliens. Like the wristblades it can be used while cloaked. It's especially good for middle range combat, at a three meters distance. The most commonly used strikes are:
- A sweeping strike to the head for crushing the skull or decapitating the victim, this is the best method against the Aliens.
- A direct strike to the victim's stomach. This is the cruelest method, maximising the pain and dying time.
- And finally the 270 degrees sweeping strike. This is better used when facing many foes. It's deadly and allows the predator to maintain a high mobility.
Once again there is the speed issue.
Speargun - This is the predator's sniper weapon. It fires small and extremely sharp metal pieces. It's a good weapon for long range sniping since the sharp projectile can reach extremely high velocities and linear trajectories. These characteristics also make it a piercing weapon. Culturally hunting with it is of little or no honour, being mostly used to reduce numbers and isolate the main prey.
And here we see "metal pieces." IIRC correctly, metal has no effect on Dracula. It's also got a chance of malfuntioning. Also Predator has to take the time to aim. A moving target the speed of Dracula could be a issue.
Netgun - The netgun is a highly specialized weapon used for capture or as a sadistic way of hunting. It is believes that this weapon can be used in two modes. The first doesn't kill and is used for capturing the prey. And the second mode consists of involving the prey and squeezing it to the death by cutting him to pieces with its thin wires. This weapon is almost uselees when facing a large number of opponents.
Once again there is the speed issue as well as the possibility of it breaking down.
Plasmacaster - This is the most efficient and versatile weapon of the predator's arsenal. It can be used on almost every occasions, it fires a plasma charge that has explosive properties. The charge is directed by a targeting system, which is able to make path correction after the charge is fired. It can be described as an assault weapon used on heavy confrontations while leaving the hands free.
This could be the one that gets Dracula, however it has to be used and if it's not working or if Dracula takes out the Predator before it's used it does no good. Also could the targeting system lock on to an undead?
Plasma Pistol - The plasma pistol is a more powerful version of the plasmacaster. It doesn't have a targeting system and is a hand held weapon. But in compensation it possesses a more powerful explosive potential which makes it a good choice for simultaneously killing clusters of enemies. It must be used with care because if the target is near the explosion could harm the carrier.
Another good choice but it has it's dangers, could malfuntion, and it actually has to be used before Dracula makes his move. There is also a potential moving target issue here as well.
Disc - The disc is the other targeting device oriented weapon. It consists on a very sharp circular blade, and has the property that the owner can order it to go back to him after reaching the target. The upside of it is its extremely high piercing potential and the great downside is the slow firing rate.
I believe this to be too slow to used against Dracula. Also there could be a locking on the target issue.
Remote Bomb - A brute force weapon great for killing in masses. Its great explosion minimizes the problem of hitting the target, which for this weapon is quite hard. But still a great weapon, that is, if you aren't looking to collect 'intact' skulls.
I don't feel it's precise enough to be able to take out Dracula. Dracula would be just too fast and can stay out of range.
Self-Destruct Device - When the battle is lost there is nothing more to do then the predator commits suicide by activating this termo-nuclear self-destruct device. Its effective range is measured in kilometres.
This weapon is a little questionable since Dracula certainly couldn't outrun it however it is clearly stated that is is activated when the battle is lost. It would also have to be activated for it to work.
