Easy to lift but a ton of inertia?

Weaponry sounds like a good application.

Can't imagine how it would be better than any other material.

But a sofa made of that thing would be great for the times one's moving.

Imagine bullets with the impact of a 20 mm anti-materiel round that weigh as much as BB's.

Would be great for infantry. NATO nations standardized on 5.56mm in lieu of 7.62 in part because a soldier can carry more 5.56 rounds for the same weight.
