That's some crazy mess... Makes me wonder of any of the casings I've saved while I was active duty contain any DU...

Those shells are cool, but DU radiation is not.

Sometimes it's better to just be a grunt and leave those big guns to others...

Well, my concern is that the 20mm rounds we used on one system are supposed to be tungsten rounds, not DU, therefore, it makes me wonder... Same goes for the 25mm AP rounds....

Reading stuff like that makes you wonder...
