I don't know if it is really an anology to DU Tank rounds/Ammunition,but
I know SABOT Tank rounds create a jet flame like a very hot cutting
torch just before they strike the side of a Tank.That creates a hole in
the side of the Tank for the round,which is about the same size as a
silver dollar,to enter the Tank and cause all kinds of damage.I am not
an expert on DU Tank Ammunition and other types of DU Ammunition because
that didn't exist when I went to Armor Ammunition School at Fort
Knox,Kentucky in 1963.An article says DU Ammunition self sharpens and
gets very hot upon impact with whatever.There are vapors created and
that stuff gets inside of peoples bodies.
