Speaking of armor piercing small arms ammo, I have something
I've been wondering about. I know that some anti-tank rounds
use a depleted uranium shell to pentrate the armor on tanks.
I was wondering if you used something like that in small arms
would it be effective against light armor? Have a nice pointy
depleted uranium bullet with a copper jacket. Would you end
up with a pistol round that could penetrate body armor or a rifle
round that could penetrate through the armor on a APC?
