*Diamonds are actually quite brittle. A bullet might well destroy it. Of course, if it were the real world, the diamond would have burned up in the atmosphere. | *Diamonds are actually quite brittle.

*As mentioned, in the real world diamonds are very hard but this also makes them brittle and the diamonds in diamond rings are most often damaged by dropping onto another hard surface such as a tile floor or even a sink. | *As mentioned, in the real world diamonds are very hard but this also makes them brittle and the diamonds in diamond rings are most often damaged by dropping onto another hard surface such as a tile floor or even a sink. If not for the white point star surviving atmospheric entry showing that it's not a real diamond, I'd have stripped the goofy speculation of if it was destroyed or not out of the article. I still think it should be rephrased so it doesn't imply that it's nigh-indestructible because all diamonds are (real ones aren't). | ||
*What do you mean by "question of the bullet lag from improperly stored guns"? Bullets only lag in video games. Just keeping the gun in a box might be inadequate from a safety perspective but it won't affect how the bullet fires. Old ammunition may not be as reliable or safe it has not been stored properly, but it will either shoot or it won't. You'd really have to mis-handle modern amunnition to get it to the point where one should doubt that it could possibly still fire. | |||
