Will have to start inserting bullets manually.

Ironically, effective bullet-proof armor wont count for much if no ones using bullets anymore. That's not irony - it's a simple fact.

It may be able to stop a bullet from penetrating the armor, but the force of the impact will still be there. It might be spread out by dissipation over a larger surface, but that can still do some very serious (even lethal) damage.

When hard, this same stuff would invisibly slice through your body long before you could ever realize it.

Industrial production of graphene is going to change society as much as integrated circuits have.

Stopping the bullet doesn’t particularly mean zero transference of force. Armor that thin will need thicker materials to reduce the shock of impact

Soon we will be back to bows and arrows, they will pierce such armor, LOL.
But if you could take a 308 bullet that is stopped by such graphene armour, there will still be massive damage du to the mass and momentum of the stopped bullet, You get hit in the chest and you will have broken ribs and likely some internal concussive damage.
But abandoning the gun is a great idea. We would be back inthe era of swords etc. Not such a bad thing.

Sorry Laz, the kinetic energy of a high velocity projectile will just push the diamond hard .22 inch dot through your body into the other side of your “armor”.

Why do I suspect that “GRAPHENE” is a word I’m going to be very sick of hearing about soon?

"The age of the firearm is rapidly drawing to a close." A wee tiny diamond mounted at the tip of the bullet should fix the problem. And there "are" ceramics harder than diamond that bullets can be plated with. But an interesting material discovery nonetheless.
