That’s a good thought tho. At least for guns I can give you an answer. When a enchanted metal round ( that’s what I’m going to call celestial bronze, imperial gold, and the like) the round completely disintegrates, which the metal completely listed, compared to a sword, which can last for eons ( riptide is the oldest weapon we know of disregarding immortals weapons, and it was used all the way back by Hercules). Especially since enchanted metal is “rare” ( which why we have a 50 foot long flying dragon completely made out of the stuff lol) it just is makes more sense to just use a near indestructible sword

Other weapons like long swords tho? Hmm IDK. I feel like it ties into they’re “affinity” kinda. They mentally wired to towards their respective cultures which is why the Greeks used Greeks swords (Idr what their called off the top of my head) and why the Romans use gladius. Really headcannon Tbh.

Also you bring up the charmed armor is interesting. In the demigod files I think, there was an interview with Percy where he says besides his hand dandy sword his enchanted piece of weaponry he would want the most is a set of armor enchanted to turn into his everyday clothes. Nothing really to make an argument but a little fun fact
