It does seem that the human constructs are vulnerable to puncture wounds however I'm not really sure that I can agree that their human forms are as vulnerable as actual humans. Remember how far Garnet flew in Beach Party? She went so high and so fast into Fish Stew Pizza's sign and she was barely even hurt and how Amethyst was spiked into the beach in the same episode. Although Amethyst's gem was damaged by that fall in Indirect Kiss, her physical form was for the most part intact. And Pearl suffered major damage in her battle against Sugilite and yet with Steve's inspirational speech she was able to continue her fight and even defeat Sugilite. The damage she received in the battle was substantial and it would surely would have destroyed any normal human easily.
