Take off your tinfoil hat and use google. This isn't the wall observer thread where idiots talk trash.
For the fun of it, I sometimes attempt to infer things based on my various understandings rather than doing extensive research and regurgitation. Sometimes I'm right and sometimes not.
In this case I appear to be mostly right. Most, if not all, DU rounds with armor piercing design (which would be plain old most) use either multiple metal designs in which tungsten often appears, or an alloy to impart the desired fragmentation properties onto DU.
Also, accd to the Wikipedia info, the carcinogenic nature of expended DU ammunition is almost certainly much more strongly associated with the atomization of other elements of the round or target than it is with the depleted uranium itself.
As for the 'tinfoil hat' claim, which part causes you such animation?
- The fact that corporations make a lot of money running nuke plants?
- Refining out the fisile material?
- Make a lot selling the waste of the waste to the military to expend in the middle east?
- The chain of profit was not a complete accident of fate but actually a product of a reasoned business strategy?
