Cost and weight

diamond is hard but shatters easily. hardness is not the same as strength. you can hit a diamond with a hammer and it will shatter

You're right. You should hit your ceramic plates with a hammer to prove your point

Also hnng that bra already half way down her shoulder under a see through shirt

Ceramic plates are multilayered precisely because each layer is only good for one hit.

School's out for summer.

Oh so you're saying they are also brittle then?

Nice Nazidubs

Designed to stop bullets, whereas diamond would be unreasonably heavy and not offer the same protection. Not to mention cost, even industrial diamonds in that shape and quantity would rack up a hefty price tag. Now go do your summer reading assignments and leave this site.

they are heavy like 1g of diamond is like 8g of steel dude

diamond is too expensive and rubber is too dangerous, like its a risk to people around you if bullets are bouncing off you in random directions.

they don't want you to know that minecraft was right

These, now go and stay go.

Gonna propose to my girlfriend so we can start churning out mixed kids. What diamond rifle plate and carrier should I get her?

We cannot make or find diamonds of sufficient size to produce the plates necessary to protect a single infantry man, much less an army. Come back in a few decades after we've improved our crystal growing technologies.

So to does ceramic. We care about maximum tensile strength before yielding, and we dont care whether it breaks or not The important part is to stop that bullet. diamond is far and away better than all other materials for this.

Is that so...So why can't we make a vest made from the HARDEST METAL EVER KNOWN TO MAN?

You're still looking at an ass ton of work on the production end to shape, cut, layer, etx the diamond to make it even be able to stop a bullet. You can't just hop on a skill saw and be done in a few minutes, nor could you use the same production processes as ceramic.

None of this is an issue if they're mass produced.

Due to extensive research done by the University of Pittsburgh, diamond has been confirmed as the hardest metal known to man. The research is as follows:

Pocket-protected scientists built a wall made of iron and crashed a diamond car into it at 400 miles per hour, and the car was unharmed. They then built a wall out of diamond and crashed a car made of iron moving at 400 miles an hour into the wall, and the wall came out fine. They then crashed a diamond car made of 400 miles per hour into a wall, and there were no survivors. They crashed 400 miles per hour into a diamond travelling at iron car. Western New York was powerless for hours. They rammed a wall made of metal into 400 miles an hour made of diamond, and the resulting explosion shifted earths orbit 400 million miles away from the sun, saving the earth from a meteor the size of a small Washington suburb that was hurtling towards mid-western Prussia at 400 billion miles an hour. They shot a diamond made of iron at a car moving at 400 walls per hour, and as a result caused over 10000 wayward planes to lose track of their bearings, and make a fatal crash with over 10000 buildings in downtown New York. They spun 400 miles at diamond into iron per wall. The results were inconclusive. Finally, they placed 400 diamonds per hour in front of a car made of wall travelling at miles per iron, and the result proved with out a doubt that diamonds were the hardest metal of all time, if not just the hardest metal known to man.

>diamond would be unreasonably heavy
>crystalized carbon is heavy
It's only 10% heavier than ceramic, and half as heavy as lead.

What if we made a car out of the hardest metal in the world (diamonds) and crashed it into a wall made out of the hardest metal in the world (diamonds)?

Diamond has low impact strength. Good armor is light, has high impact strength, is hard but gets harder as you penatrate it

Newfag that copypasta is 1 internet millennium old

unironically you're a dumb frogposter

oh boy, I haven't seen this one in quite a while

A timeless classic.

I only trust my safety to Electric Wizard.

Yes, which costs money.

Im glad someone still posts these

because like 10g of diamonds is like 10lbs or something

Diamond has low impact strength?

Under impact conditions the ceramics in lvl IV plates yields at 3.8*10^3 MPa, diamond under the same conditions yields at ~1.5*10^6MPa. The problem isnt that its brittle or not hard enough, the problem is we simply cannot make it with sufficient quality to be useful.

I honestly cannot tell if you are trolls or the retarded spawn of common core.

Yes it does, because diamond isnt like steel, its not ductile and easily molded into the right shape. THe best methods for machining it will be laser based, and those are expensive even for a mass production line. The real killer though will be the loss rate do to defects from the growth process. A defectless diamond (the kind you'd want for armor) wont gilter or have color at all, it will look like a piece of glass. (ie transparent.)

lol, an oldie returns

lol Im not defending the thought of diamond armor you retard, Im just pointing out how stupid you are
