| Jan 6, 2022 at 23:06 | comment | added | Steven Sagona | @DKNguyen, am I incorrect in thinking that a solid diamond would be the best material to not crack when receiving a large force? | |

| Jan 6, 2022 at 22:36 | comment | added | Steven Sagona | @Dan, what else must a mundane gun need to take? Does heat matter on that time scale? | |
| Jan 6, 2022 at 22:35 | comment | added | Dan | Pressure is not the whole of what comes out of a nuclear weapon. Taking pressure is not the whole of what a gun barrel must withstand even in a more mundane gun. | |
