okay, here's a thought. why do they use swords? I mean I know in reality it's to make it feel more like greek myths as well as to keep the age ratings down, but from a tactical perspective firearms with celestial bronze and imperial gold ammunition would be an exceptional addition to any team of heroes. we've already seen that it can be done and how awesome would it be if percy could call in air support? the only real problem I can see is finite resources, but we're never really told there celestia bronze and imperial gold come from (if we have then please enlighten me). and because it's made from godly metal ( I don't know the proper name) it can't hurt mortals (although the immortality of the gods is debatable)

Tell me about it! You are a smart kid! I'm sorry kid i can't tell ya where we ya know get the metal but the other gods say that stick to the old stuff! It's better if they had swords and spears! It's educational! Well, I don't care! I want WAR!!!! Sorry...NO I'M NOT! hahaha sucker!

Do you really think Zeus, as paranoid as he is, would want hyperactive children, that we already know don't really like the gods very much, to have access to firearms that, even without specialized ammunition, has the power to kill people with very little effort!! 

[Ares.]

Shut up you idiot. You don't know anything about us.

I have to agree with Ares on this one. You don't know anything about us. Sorry, It's true.

Why they use swords? Because A) they're reusable, B) bullets wouldn't be able to be recovered C) they are loud when your on a quest and have to be quiet not to mention mortals freak out enough when they THINK they see us with a gun if they actually did who knows what would happen. So that's why we use swords
