Since this thread is irretrievably OT, I've been tempted to ask this
question. I'm sure at least one of our resident experts will know the
answer: What's with this depleted uranium ammunition scare? Is DU used
solely because of its density - a way of making heavier projectiles
without having to make them wider or longer? Or is there some other
property that makes it particularly devastating against armour?
Just curious, regards
