Why don't they make bulletproof vests out of diamond if it is the hardest metal?
>>
Cause it's too heavy. 1 gram of diamond weighs something like 15 grams.

Cheaper to recycle GameCubes

Because contrary to popular belief, diamonds aren't forever
>>
>>27303759
because even if it stops the bullit you still need to dissipate energy but diamond is actually carbon so it would set on fire instead

>>27303759
Because it's cheaper to ban guns.

Why don't they just make a bulletproof vest out of bulletproof vest?
>>
>>27303759
It's very brittle. Also, it's not a metal.
>>

why not use water? just soak yourself in water and it will stop bullet right? have you ever jumped into a pool? the water feels really hard so the water should prob just stop a bullet if you put alot of water on yourself and i think water is cheap too this could save lots of lives!!

Tanks are bulletproof right? Why not just make tiny little tanks for every soldier?

If evolution is real then why haven't humans developed skin made of diamond?
>>
The hardest a material is, the less impact it can resist. So, diamonds are the easiest material to shatter.

Some times I wonder how can some of my NEET friends be this dumb.

What? You can't even die from falling on water. It's a fluid, not a solid like concrete.
>>
>>27303759
Cause a diamond isnt unbreakable? If you take a hammer you can smash it to pieces easily.

Gems hardness refers to their resilience at being scratched and not how strong they are.

Besides 1 gram of diamonds is about 15 grams, so it wouldn't work

W-wait... if diamonds have 15 grams for each 1 gram, wouldn't that make them actually 225 grams since they're really 15 grams in 1 gram?
>>
>>27303830
because then they would protect you from bulletproof vest instead of bullets.

Diamonds can't be broken with a hammer. That's why the dudes that buy them always test their strenght by picking up a hammer and hitting the diamond.

If it breaks it's probably a fake clone of glass.

>>27304654
And where do you think you are?
>>
>>27304686
A diamonds toughness isn't as great as its hardness, if you have a nice big diamond and smash it with a big mace it will fracture and eventually break, just like if you shoot, it might absorb it and make the bullet bounce off or eventually shatter and push the diamond into you along with the bullet
>>
why not just make bulletproof vest out of mirrors so that bullets reflect off instead of actually making impact?
