Because it sucked.

Prince rupert drops would be a huge upgrade over ceramic tiles if they could be produced without a tail end. The combination of internal stresses exerting force outwards, the external stresses exterting forces inwards, and the spherical geometry of a prince rupert drop basically make them indestructible. I've seen a few videos where prince rupert drops are quenched in liquid nitrogen. It has the effect of making PRD's that don't shatter when the tail end is broken. These beads are so tough that they have no trouble shattering a 7.62mm projectile thats fired at them. If I could produce small quenched glass beads without a tail end and locked them into epoxy to make up the first layer of a ballistic vest do you think it could out perform ceramic tiles?
