IT's only dangerous if you spend a lot of time in very close contact with it, handle and lick your fingers a lot [assuming there no jacketing which isn't likely as high velocity rifling shear would be a major problem with such a soft material..but kids picking them up after firing and using them for life savers would have a problem if they did it a lot] or inhale the vapors or dust as the bullet disintigrates on impact. [If you're that close, radiation is the least of your worries. High velocity gobs of molten steel and supersonic rock dust particles take priority]

Dear Alvin,

Well, that post certainly used up a lot of band width and changed the subject line a little.

Anyhow, it's my understanding that depleted uranium is U238 (a byproduct of extracting U235) and that it gives off very little radiation. I think the reason it is used is because it is very dense and easily goes through armor. It should work much better than Teflon coated bullets. Since Bush did the right thing and this has nothing to do with CS I will check the OT list for a response and not bother the good people of this list with politics and misinformation.

Best Regards,
Andy
