It's been reduced to nothing more than a really powerful gun.

Perhaps.
It's not exactly true, though. (That it's reduced to being merely a powerful weapon)
In Hickman's FF/F4, one of the alternate Reeds regarded the UN as being the most powerful weapon in the universe. And Reed made it pretty clear to Annihilus that he could wipe out the entire Negative Zone with the UN. Space Punisher (taking place in an alt. reality) also implied that (an alternate) UN could destroy the whole universe, and specifically space/time (although, the UN in that story wasn't a real one, Frank thought it was and was sure that he could wipe out the universe with it). The recent Nova series referred to the UN as being the most dangerous weapon in the universe too.
Not to mention that Original Sin #0 had Sam saying that the UN could destroy entire galaxies. Although, in an issue of Nova, when he unintentionally activated the UN it only created some wormhole.
