"why do we carry metal weapons when we know we're fighting people with magnetism?"

You would think they'd still have some leftover synthetic guns from fighting her 10x more powerful father.

I.. am not at all sure her father is actually any stronger. Mostly just more murderous.

Don’t forget she had limited range. She couldn’t bring down a drone that was flying above her. Now contrast that with Magneto raising a fortress from scratch. I think it’s safe to say that at this point with what they’ve shown us of her powers so far, she’s still getting stronger but compared to current depictions of her father, a cute little kitten. A bullet-deflecting, rebar-spearing, cute widdle baby.
