Why bother with bracelet deflection when she can fight Doomsday?

Not really. Invulnerable would mean she's impervious to harm/damage. This isn't the case, nor has it ever been. She's always been susceptible to damage from pointed weapons. In some ways as I mentioned before you could say she's basically invulnerable to blunt damage/trauma but unlike Superman she is not an all-around invulnerable hero.

A punch from a normal person has more force than a bullet. Force is mass times acceleration and the mass of a bullet is very tiny. This is why an officer wearing a bullet proof vest gets hit by a bullet(having all of the force of that bullet hit him) and doesn't fall over but a punch or shove could easily push you over.
A bullet is deadly because its force is concentrated over a tiny area tearing a hole in the surface of that area and traveling in.
Think about a old school suit of armor. It is very good at stopping a huge hammer blow but very very bad at stoping a arrow that would travel right through it.(With a clean and straight shot). -

False.
The kinetic energy of a karate punch is less than 150 joules.
The kinetic energy in a bullet fired from a rifle is over 4,000 joules. -

Kinetic energy is not force. Force is mass x acceleration and is a vector. Kinetic energy is a 1/2 m v^2 and is a scalar.
Look at this video.

He takes a bullet straight to the chest and barely moves back at all. However if he was shoved or punched hard in the chest he would easily be knocked back. I did not include a video of someone getting knocked over by a punch but there is an awesome one of bruce lee knocking a guy back into a chair.
Also, here is a similar discussion on another forum: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080626131055AAEMKkP
That is not a science paper or anything but probably explains it better than me. -

A controlled environment is the best way to measure the force difference. In the same situations(ready for it, controlled environment) a punch knocks you down and a bullet does not. Therefore a bullet has less force. If you are off balance/running/surprised then both a bullet and a punch will knock you down so that gives no conclusive results. Read the other link where they talk about the math behind it.

Well when Hulk gets shot he tends to block bullets with his arms, I think it's a natural reaction. Diana through her training blocks it with her bracelets, but maybe she doesn't need to.
