carbon is a weird material.

the fact that a 4mm*25mm cross section can hold ten tons and yet you go between the layers you can pull it apart by hand.

I'm not generally good at understanding the weight of things basd on the numerical values, I tend to gauge everything on comparisons. My regular DTSS suppressor feels pretty light to me and weighs 240g, trying to visualise something of comparable size yet a third of the weigh is absolutely making my head spin. Seems like fascinating stuff!

imagine it as about the same dimensions as a rail cover but will hold more than 6 cars weight without breaking.

problem is it's such a directional material, and can be made really weak by something as simple as drilling a hole in it.
