20×102mm Vulcan
Rice University has published an article telling about 3D printed ultrahard polymers that the University’s Brown School of Engineering researchers are experimenting with. The sophisticated construction of these cubes is based on tubulanes, “theoretical structures of crosslinked carbon nanotubes predicted to have extraordinary strength“. They claim that this structure is as hard as diamond and can stop bullets better than solid materials.
the Rice University article tells that their velocity was 5.8 kilometers per second which is equal to whopping 19,000 fps. The tubulane cubes proved to have about 10 times better projectile stopping characteristics than the solid blocks made of the same material
