#2 I can imagine it brings relief, but not when the bullets hit close to you

#7 Depleted uranium rounds are extremely weakly radioactive. Not enough to cause any kind of illness. It's the impact of extremely dense metal that you need to worry about, with a minimal side worry (for small bits of shrapnel) of heavy metal poisoning. It's used to bust through armor, not make people sick.

I'm happy knowing this is what is in the sky protecting my son.

#11 Depleted Uranium ammo is weakly radioactive but when you have thousands upon thousands of bullets hitting targets the aerosol or powder produced during impact can potentially contaminate wide areas around the impact sites. You can check out the medical reports from Fallujah, Iraq where the results of millions of depleted uranium shells are beginning to show in the form of birth deformations on a scale that is rising and has reached higher rates of cancer and leukemia than Hiroshima and Nagasaki had in 1945.
