Name the one country who uses uranium tipped bullets against its enemies?

Question

Hint: Gulf War 1 & 2

And as usual it's the US and guess what, the Vet says its safe. Brainwashing anyone?

Nope I mean the depleted uranium tipped bullets. Which the country in question denies the use of. When is uranium not radio-active? After about oh, say, 20000 years, maybe, if you are lucky. Gulf War vet, it seems like like killing people. You don't have that right.

Answer 1

By "uranium-tipped" do you mean the depleted uranium used by the 30mm "tank-buster" gun on the A-10 ?
Sounds like you are implying we use some evil radioactive ammo. Truth is that depleted uranium (as in "DEPLETED... no longer radioactive) is even denser than lead and cheaper than gold, and makes a dandy projectile to pierce armor of enemy tanks... the operators of which then end up dead and are not bothered by the non-existant radiation you imply, nor are around to attack *us*.

You seem to like to stand on a soap-box. You have the right.
Thank a vet

Answer 2

The US Navy uses depleted uranium ammunition in the CIWS (Close In Weapons System) to shoot down incoming cruise missiles. The purpose of this is that the mass prevents most of the residue (in theory) of a missile from continuing and damaging the ship.

Answer 3

M1A1 Abrams tank uses depleted uranium tipped shells in the US arsenal, so why not an M16,

Answer 4

It's depleted uranium projectiles. It's just heavy metal. They are not anymore radioactive than your own body. They are used in calibers 20mm or greater, not for small arms.

Answer 5

Sure the soldier is not gonna care about it if he/she is dead, but what about the long-term radiation and pollution it implies? and the consequences for nearby living creatures?

Answer 6

Dunno about U-tipped, but I know the US uses depleted uranium munitions. Isn't DU defined as WMDs?
