[Steven Universe] Was the breaking-point really as effective as Bismuth made it out to be?

Moral implications aside the weapon itself doesn't seem all that viable in comparison with other more versatile gem weapons. In order for it to work the person wielding it would have to make a stab at their opponent's most protected area in addition that area is different for each opponent making it difficult to develop a consistent technique. I also doubt that a single short range weapon could have turned the tide of any battle let alone the war regardless of its effect on individual fighters. There are also already better weapons for disrupting hard-light bodies. Honestly it seems more like a tool of execution than a "superweapon".

You're missing the point. Gems don't want to die. They're not short-lived like humans. If they're shattered, they're missing out on a very, very long lifespan. If you don't kill gems, they'll give it their all because they know what you do to them doesn't matter. But if you go out armed with the breaking-point, then suddenly all the gems will be much more hesitant to join the fight.
