I was under the impression the deuterium is the explosive core. The stuff triggered by the "mass reactive cap." The armor-piercing bit is the diamantine tip, presumably "Diamond but better". It's not very dense, so it's not great for armor penetration, which is why the specialized armor piercing round replaces it with an adamantium spike.You mean, like Circe? Or Nylor Truggs?
Unless someone died, everyone in either timeline is around in the other.
Yes, but I'm not convinced that would be any better for armour penetration. For a start, it would turn into hydrogen gas or water at room temperature and pressure.
Also, the reason metallic hydrogen is considered the holy grail of rocket fuel is that it is supposed to be metastable. In theory it will remain solid at room temperature and pressure until you "set it off" somehow.
