If diamond is the hardest metal why don't we make bulletproof

Because it's way too heavy. 1 gram of diamond weighs 15 grams.

I'm guessing they would be too expensive and heavy.

Because it shatters easily and because it would be ridiculously expensive for how stupid and impractical it is

Anon, I..

Because the diamonds would reflect the bullets, causing danger to any nearby friendlies. You want to absorb the impact not repel it.

The point of bulletproof vests isn't to be hard, it's to absorb and evenly spread out the impact of a bullet.
