I got a sciance question, how tough do you think gems are on the average? I get that warrior type gems would be tougher than say a pearl or a peridot, but have we ever been given a good estimation on just how strong the body is or the gem itself for that matter? I'm sure back in the good ol' day of swords and medical malpractice the Gems would have a distinct advantage over normal people. But what about one for one, how would a gem stack up to an assault rifle? Or even just a generic pistol?

These are the questions I wonder, without the science knowledge to figure out myself.
