In case you haven't noticed, it's really expensive.

The malleability could also be put to good use.
But to answer the question, $$$.

>why aren't we making bullets out of gold?
>Cost of gold:$1320 per ounce

>>34706057
Alchemy hasn't taken on in the last centuries

why not just shoot really sharp diamonds

Just use uranium dummy

Ironic shitposting aside, if gold suddenly became more abundant than lead, would it be practical to use in munitions? What about osmium?

>>34706057
A box of 115 gr 9mm would contain $16,725.59 in gold. Best make them shots count.

>>34706092
If the cost of gold came down enough it wasn't prohibitively expensive, yeah it would work pretty well.

Osmium is brittle, without it being a minority element in an alloy with something much more malleable it would not.

Shit really? Time to buy DGP stock.

Well we all know diamond is too heavy.
1 gram of diamond weighs like 4 grams.

I remember a movie where a guy built bullets with a drop of mercury in the point.
"The American" iirc.
Gold + mercury must be badass...

>>34706070
A gram of gold is only $40 tho

>>34706284
Mercury dissolves gold lol

>>34706092
It might be a little too soft to not deform in the barrel.

Why not just shoot rocks?

Why not just use fake gold?

This shit post is so obscure and oldfag that it even made me smile.

thank you,

>>34706424
Its not as dense dumbdumb.

>>34706313
Doesn't it only corrodes gold?

Ever heard of depleted uranium shells OP?

Uranium > Gold > Lead

>>34706296
That's right Billy, a gram is less than an ounce. Good job.

>>34706057
>bullets are gold
This would make niggers want to get shot
But also make them not want to shoot.

>>34706057
density isnt the only consideration. im sure there are plenty of material that would work better than lead except that theyre not as cheap and plentiful.

>>34708879
sounds like youre killing two niggers with one stone

>>34706070
Still fuckin cheaper than .308 in my neck of the woods

>>34708879
*bang*
