would htis work it would severly increase their power to the point that maybe they could go through 4 inch armour.

No, the diamond would be crushed.

Do you know how much wasted money you would have spent, just to put dimonds at the end of your bullets?

The fact that anyone would even attempt this, but more that the fact that Bumplords predicted this on AIM.

Bumplords he IS right-
The only reason diamonds are expensive in RL is because of the De Beers cartel. They control the flow of diamonds to make it as high priced as possible. They also control demand by very good advertising on useless peices of crystals that are quite common. Artificial Diamonds are quite cheap and easy to manufacture.

Dude . . they CUT not penetrate. They would splinter and be crushed before they went through armour.

Think it out . . how is it that a jewler can cut a diamond?

They dont, they grind them using diamond dust.

Let him make diamond bullets if he wants :o

Dimonds are not used as a puncturer(lol) because they arent sharp. They are just very very hard. THink about it im under rock for oh about 1000000 years will i be dense or sharp? dense. yea so no the domond would not shatter or break, but it would not go though the armor.

Longer than 1,000,000, more like 1,000,000,000.

Put whats the point of a bullet that would go straight through and not cause as much damage as say... a soft tip or whatever. It really is pointless to put a diamond on the tip of a bullet...

They use a small hammer and chisel, not just a grinder.
They crush diamonds for powder as well. Just the slivers left over from the cuttings

If you were under a rock for 1,000,000 years not even your bones would be left.

Actually they use diamond-tipped hammers/chisels because only diamonds can cut through other diamonds.
28-10-2003, 00:17
No, if I hit a diamond with a hammer, it would be shattered.
28-10-2003, 00:41
I'll give it up. Bumplords you must be phycic.

You know, this diamond issue almost seems to be the most well crafted TROLL topic I have ever seem in a long long time. And what bugs me about it is that I took the bait. HOOK LINE AND SINKER . .
Someone hand me a pair of pliers to get this hook out of my mouth

If they were feasable, I'm sure some militaries/governments would already be doing it.

If it it's something hard, it will shatter. As Attican Empire said, you can lay a diamond down and smash it with a hammer.

And a standard 50 cal is going to go through anything anyway that is not tough enough for a diamond to withstand. So a standard bullet is just fine.

P.S. Lima Beens, is English your primary language?
