User blog comment:The Awesome X!/Why don't the monsters use mortal weapons?/@comment-5050355-20131011094523

Monsters/Krono does not use mortal weapons because:

1. Monsters are too stupid too, think about it, their way of fighting is bash or bash. If given a machine gun they'd probably try to bash people with it so really a ancient weapon does not damage. Annabeth's dad uses a machine gun in TTC only because he was intelligent enough to use it.

2. Good modern weapons are expensive to make and to keep in order. You need heaps of bullets or oil for guns or flamethrowers. With a sword you just keep it sharp.

3. Most of the ancient weapons in PJO are powerful or magical, the Gods has weapons that has unimited charge, demi-gods have weapons that turn into different things or suck monsters' souls.

4. Why don't the demigods wear modern armour? Hmm...maybe the mist doesn't hide modern things that mortals have seen before. So they'd look weird walking about with Kevlar for no apparent reason.
