^ It is very clear that you haven't read the novels. The vampires aren't just moving rocks. Each and every one of their cells become extremely hard and durable after the transformation. Millions and millions of these cells support each other to render the vampire's body very nearly indestructible. They are nowhere NEAR being brittle like diamond or marble, they don't crack or break even when being hit by another vampire (which creates an ear-splitting, thunderous sound). They can jump from atmospheric heights, collide with another hard vampire body (both moving full speed), crash into trees, get bombarded with bullets, and even slam a sharp chunk of wood into their chests with a force that would split a granite slab, and be completely unharmed. To add onto this, Meyer says that vampires are never in any danger from humans, and that only a supernaturally strong creature has the ability to injure and rip a vampire apart. Even possessing godlike physical strength, being thousands of times stronger than humans, it still takes great effort for a vampire to rip another vampire apart, which is why they prefer to use their unbreakable, razor-sharp teeth. But the invulnerability doesn't even matter, because if one of these vampires didn't want to be shot, hit with a missile, bombed, etc., they wouldn't be. Because what is described of their speed and reflexes is absolutely out of this world. Read the chapters "New" and "First Hunt" in Breaking Dawn. Vampires can reach top speeds of over a hundred miles an hour, but more importantly, they can accelerate to these speeds virtually instantaneously. Bella flips off a table and across a room in "an eighty-forth of a second" and can see every tiny, insignificant microscopic detail in the roof, walls, and carpet while doing so. No missile or bullet (no matter how ineffectual) would be able to hit someone capable of these feats.
