another /k/ myth busted

>>29943728
The diamond in the video was synthetic.

If the diamond had been real, the press wouldn't have been able to crush it.

and here I thought only /pol/ would invent new kind of stupid, turns out /k/ can one up them in the retardedness

>remember how everyone been saying how "diamond bullets will punch through everything" or "diamond armor can block anything".
Never fucking heard of that. I have heard that extreme hardness does not equal to good protection thou.

Who the hell have said diamond bullets is a good idea?

>>29943728
nobody fucking says that

>>29943756
>The diamond in the video was synthetic.
That doesn't change anything.
The chemical structure from natural and lab grown is identical.

What is best bullet tip then gents, tungsten, tungsten carbide, bullets made up of hard cast lead, bullets made up of entirely copper or brass, expensive and complicated API set-ups?

>>29943756
never mind syntehtic vs real idiocy, you never were clever to begin with

>what is the best car ?
gee Billy, i don't think a Ferrari can pull that trailer

>nonsense, that Ferrari is better than any truck

>>29944407
Depends on your application. Hollow points vs armor penetrating tips.

>>29944407
Tungsten if you want to defeat armor, though a rod in the center of the bullet would probably be better.

Hollowpoint for defeating soft targets.

>/k/ "myth"

Who the fuck would think that? diamonds are like ceramics but even more brittle.

I'd be willing to believe a plate of diamond would be good for one bullet at the very most. but after that hit it'd shatter like sugar glass.

Diamond bullets are even more retarded. it'd shatter on impact.

people play way to much minecraft.

No. Not really.
Did you have to make that up as an excuse to post that video?

I don't remember this because thats retarded.
Diamond is the hardest material but it is very easy to shatter.

this is the first time I have heard anyone say that, also that sounds wrong

well, im sure that shooting a bullet at something wont produce 100 thousand tons of pressure... what his press is rated at i think

>>29944464
Hard but brittle makes for good armor at lighter weights. Maybe a ceramic plate with a diamond frontal layer might work well. Super hard first layer to disrupt the penetrator's path / blunt it, followed by the regular ceramic and whatever soft armor is providing the backing.

>>29943900
pimps, probably

>>29943728
Had he placed the diamond with it's point facing upward toward the ram it would have cut straight in

DUH

ignoring the fact that diamond bullets or armor has never been a thing, a hydraulic press has nothing to do with ballistic properties, if you want I can put a lead bullet in a press and it will make as much sense as your post
