- Aim for the gem! It's been made awfully clear that the weakness of every Gem is their gemstone. Yet, they refuse to wear ANY armor around it. This makes it awfully easy to get a good shot in, which should weaken them enough to shatter that puny crystal!
- Acid. Salt's chemical formula is NaCL, and water's is H2O. With a good enough chemistry set, you can synthesize HCl, or hydrochloride. When mixed with water, it forms the deadly hydrochloric acid. This should be more than enough to corode away at the weaker gemstones and destroy the organic matter. If you get your hands on fluorine, you can make the even deadlier hydrofluoric acid, which was familiarized by Breaking Bad. DISCLAIMER: If you are under 18, don't do this. Even if you are over 18, be ready to burn a hole in the floor.

ALL POSTSHow To Kill a Gem
<p>The Xavier Protocols are a set of instructions by Charles Xavier just in case one of the X-Men go rogue and become a threat to the world. Batman has a similar type of instruction, except for each member of the Justice League. Basically, it's a good thing to be prepared if one of your favorite superheroes goes rogue. So what would you do if the Crystal Gems decided, for some reason, that they wanted to destroy the Earth and everything on it?
</p><p>If the country is handling it, it wouldn't even be a problem. The Gems are strong, but not strong enough to do crud against an Abrahms Tank or tough enough to survive a nuclear blast. But apparently the military and even local police forces are fiction in the Steven Universe universe, since after the Red Eye incident the military would be all over Beach City, if not just the MIB to flashy-thing the residents.
</p><p>So, I have a bow-n-arrow and a wooden sword. How would I be able to fight the oncoming Gem invasion? Well, there are a few methods...

<p>Well, there is two parts of the problem:
</p><p>- To poof Gem - you basically have to just damage it's hard light "body" enough. The Gems seems to be more resistant to piercing damage than humans (and they simply didn't have any vital organs), but - as Pearl demonstrated - they could be effectively pierced by even swords. Probably even the average bullets would work; but, due to the lack of vital organs, you would need much more bullets to stop the Gem than to stop the human of same size. I'd recommed to use explosive and fragmentation bullets, to effectively poof the Gem.
</p><p>The large fusions may be some more problem... but due to their size and relatively limited mobility, they are generally exellent targets for heavy weapons and artillery.
</p><p>- To destroy Gem... it's more a problem. Basically, you don't need to destroy it - just isolate the Gem and made it unable to regenerate (solution: a small box, or quick-drying cement). But if you really need it... well, most of Gems are burn in the oxygen atmosphere.

<p>Homeworld Gems also seems to prefer eternal torture to killing its citizens, I mean The Dessert Glass, Lapis's Mirror, there's also the Pyramid Temple Obelisk, Moon Princess Statue, the Scripture (The one with ink made of Gem Dust), Weaponised Gem Shards, there seems to be Gem Shards in the Quartrzine Trio and its single version, and the Clusters.... Homeworld doesn't seem to want to kill Gems or have any desire to, they seem intent on trapping them in objects, using them as power sources, or manipulating them and forcing them into essential battle slaves.
