How would a 1 x 1 meter sheet of graphene behave

I see articles about how graphene is this super material that can hold a ton of weight and is magnitudes stronger than steel. would the stuff be bullet proof? would you even be able to see it causes it’s 1 atoms thick ? can you even feel it?

Pretty much the only negatives to graphene are that even though you can transfer current with it it’s very difficult to turn it “off” when you’re using in that manner. Also if you’re using it for things on the molecular level it’s edges are jagged and sharp enough to rip cell walls apart. Also it deteriorates relatively quickly when it’s exposed to open air (ie oxygen and water vapor). Other than that it is pretty amazing as you describe.
