GUEST,Blind desert Pete | Depleted Uranium (107* d) | RE: Depleted Uranium | 27 Feb 01 |
DU is neither hard nor tough. It is used for the cores of AP rounds becouse of its density. It does not burn or explode. when it hits armor energy is released E=MV sq and a fair amount is vaporised just as with a lead cored bullet. Very bad to breathe either. I suspect that DU dust is the worse health risk but lead is no joke |
