Why don't they make bulletproof vests out of diamond if

It's too heavy. 1 gram of diamond weighs something like 15 grams.

Because they are so expensive, they are not widely used, but the top special forces snipers used diamond bullets.

>>724328019
this is old. Try again later.

>>724328797
diamonds arent expensive. Just the jewelry quality ones.

>>724328301
that makes zero sense

Even the jewellery ones aren't expensive at source, the whole thing was an advertising scam in the very beginning.

>>724328019
Diamonds are the hardest substance but very brittle. This means they're very hard to scratch but will break if you take a hammer to them. You're thinking of depleted uranium, which wouldn't even sent from sledge hammer hits.

>>724331809
Fuckin got me

1 gram of diamond metal weighs 15 gram of diamond cubic zarconia. Also, gasoline is now plastic and OP is a fucking idiot. Go back to school ya illiterate fuck.

>>724332399
sea witches are mermaids how the fuck do we drop them from a tower also a normal witch would fly away are you dumb?

>>724331515
Go back to school.

So many trips. Someone got sex.

Your just a little mistake

>>724328019
Because diamonds are too flammable to stop firearms.

Because the gun isent strong enough to fire them and a dimond gun would be too heavy

Then you wouldnt need diamond bullets cos 1 shot kills anyway

Sounds like they'd just slip right through your body without doing much damage. Slippery bullets sound pretty dumb, what moron came up with that one

but a headdhot would cause enough bleeding anyway. So they use it whenever somebody uses hostages as meat shields - they shot through the shield, the shield lives, and the kidnapper gets a headshot. Still dies in half an hour or so

>1 gram of diamonds is 15 grams

What the heck are you smoking anon

>>724338307
check and mate

>>724338521
What he meant was 24 karat pure diamonds would weigh about 15 carats, because 1 carat = 1 gram

>>724338282

>>724338372
If they wanted less lethal bullets, they should just make them less weight, like maybe using bullets that are hollow on the inside instead of solid

>>724338521
its molecudes are denser so the same sizes are 15 times more weight so a gram of diamonds is 15 times heavier and weighs 15 grams. hope this helps. You should check out a guy called Ryan Cox, hes got a tv show and super good at explaining this kinda thing. Its really intresting

Jesus christ this whole thread doesnt know shit about weight and bullet functionality

It's not enough to stop the bullet from penetrating, you must also dissipate the force over a large area.

(I know it's bait, but at least it was fun bait.)

>>724328797
They do not use diamond bullets, they wouldn't mushroom on impact

Holy shit the amount of New in this thread, that diamond post from a few years back had me in tears and still gets me chuckling to this day

>>724338751
thats actually a really good , would save on materiel cost too

>>724338751
that's a good point. But then again maybe they don't want cheaper bullets, because they would earn less money? Better don't say aloud that you know this one simple trick to make it cheaper

>>724338722
Dude, I call total bs on that video. Nice troll though.
My dad is a firefighter, so I know what I'm talking about.

>>724328019
so the simplest thing to do is go learn about the physical properties of diamonds.
it will take you 5 minutes to learn why the hardest gem in the world is useless for practically anything other than jewelry and abrasives/cutting.

>>724328019
>>724328019
While diamond IS strong as hell. If you were to make a suit out of it, it would break in one punch. Diamond has certain weak points in it that will split in half.

>>724339001
That's also why the military makes radioactive bullets out of uranium

>>724338307
OK I'm stupid, let me rephrase my previous statement.

No product solely out of carbon and other non metals can become a metal

>>724339103
a diamond suit is ridiculous how would you move youre elbows

>>724328995
Lol ikr

We need hammers and cars made of diemonds too

>>724339314
it sounds good in theory but if you made links and exposed the inner diamond it would rust to quick and would lose its flexibility

>>724338808
OP is a Master-Baiter

If diamonds are so hard, we should make diamonds from them hurrrrrr

>>724339509
>diamond hammer
lol do you realize how big the sparks would be when hitting a normal nail? youd need diamond nails too and that would be waaay to expensive.

hardness =/= durability

>>724328019

To all those armchair engineers saying that diamond is too brittle/etc., keep in mind that rifle-resistant plate armor is made from mud (same compounds, same basic crystal structure).

>>724340587
little to no vitrification though, vastly different crystalline structure
