* What exactly does it mean that "non-magical weaponry does not work on monsters"? We've seen monsters killed by dropping them or smashing them against walls or the ground, so obviously it doesn't need to be a direct magical attack that kills them. So what's the dividing line? Why can't guns or even swords or big rocks be used against monsters in a pinch? And what would happen if a normal citizen grabbed something heavy and smashed a monster with it?

**Two possible answers I can think of. 1) Non magical weapons are less effective, rather than entirely ineffective, and thus can't take out the non-chumps. Vedika can take out a small one with a flare gun but it's not clean and still grabs her so a non magical girl would've been screwed. Similarly, smashing might work but be too unreliable in killing anything but the smallest monsters. 2) Magic has an 'aura' to it that means even just being near a magical girl makes a monster vulnerable (ie the smashing into the wall only works because it's a magical girl doing it) or the magic works off KillingIntent and they're using their power subconciously to boost the attack even with mundane methods.

*** The thing about that is it does sound like some degree of NoOntologicalInertia exists here. Mingxing mentioned that her previous arm stopped working when the magical girl who built it aged out. So feasibly that iron stockpile just disappears when the magical girl ages out. This is probably something best left to BellisariosMaxim.
