Why is it that when firearms or other forms of advanced weapons are brought up or introduced there is a sudden assumption that all monsters are instantly up for being wiped out of existence?

Im going to guess you have not used alot of guns in your life

Because, as everyone knows, bullets are capable of affecting targets that are incorporeal or immune to metal, and prevent beings capable of regenerating from doing so. Additionally, there is absolutely no way that any such being would be capable of operating a gun to its own advantage, or simply convincing a group of humans to do so for them. Really, OP, it's common knowledge.

Because bullets cemented mankinds supremacy IRL over beasts, by letting us engage them easily from a distance.
This applies much less effectively against fantasy monsters, given that a number of monsters either can only be harmed by specific things (werewolves might be killed by a silver bullet, but good fucking luck if you have literally anything else) or have ranged attacks of their own.
Like, modern firearms might be great dragonhunting tools. But bringing black powder weapons against a dragon just says to me "hey, there is a group of dudes that are going to EXPLODE when they get hit with dragonfire".

Recognize that bullets are, metaphysically, tiny swords and thus maintain your immunity.
