While reading, keep in mind that a bit of the old time propaganda is mixed in here, too.

The DOD is not using "depleted uranium" anymore and that is now a specific chemical formula that the propagandists deny at the Pentagon's Office of Moral Hygiene and Truth.

Since the US Military is now using natural and low-enhanced uranium the professional liars will look you in the eye and swear the US Military are not using "depleted" uranium.

It has the advantage of being True from a certain psychopathic military point of view."INTRODUCTION
All materials used in large caliber projectiles share a common feature; their design and use requires knowledge of their deformation behavior up to and beyond failure at high strain and heating rates. Crucial to the development of these materials is the ability to describe the life of the material from its synthesis
and process development to a complete description of the terminal ballistic performance, platform structural response, and ultimate structural failure under dynamic loading. Materials for this application include those used in kinetic energy penetrators, sabots, fins, cartridges (Figure 1), and liner materials for shaped charge and explosively formed projectile warheads.
One will find that a complete spectrum of materials is used for these components, including metals, ceramics, polymers and composites."
