Tungsten

[maddox10]

Yes, Tungsten is an allowed material.

But what is your idea? As a penetrating spike, it's rather useless. For a disk too brittle. Armor, way to heavy and brittle.

Because it is so brittle?

But on the other hand, the military does use it for kinetic energy penetrator tank shells, as well as armor. For armor it's no good here because of weight limits, but if you include it in weapons, then for the same force, you can achieve higher pressures. You just need to protect it from shattering on impact. KEPs are dual layered for that reason.
