If diamond is indeed the hardest metal known to man why dont they make bulletproof vests out of it?

If diamond is indeed the hardest metal known to man why dont they make bulletproof vests out of it?

Because, capitalists have created the illusion that diamonds are rare and expensive.

cause Kevlar is lighter and more flexible

Because being hard isn't what stops a bullet.

because money > human lives

It's hard but breaks easily.

Because 1 gram of diamonds weighs about 15 grams

Diamonds are minerals not metals faggot

it would look gay

What

too hard, can't handle natural body movement

(((capitalists)))

oy gevalt!!!

It burns and it is brittle.

They've already infused men with diamonds. I guess adding the metal to vests is the next step.

because the lives of soldiers < the cost to make one

because diamond armour isnt flexible idiots

its not a metal, fucktard

Kevlar isn't even the top of the line anymore.

diamond armor is too heavy for human body armor but tank armor is currently ~50% diamonds

Diamond-metal bullets would render such a thing virtually useless

Use ur fuckin head, OP

Fucking finally.

You all fail at life.

the more you know ...

Diamond is one of the hardest metals (If not THE hardest metal) known the man. Image if something like that could ever happen in a bulletproof vest? You also have to consider the light reflected back by the diamond

...

Shit their bait.
