If it doesn’t strain you seemly feeble mind I will confuse you with some facts. The SABOT round forming plasma common knowledge, it has been mentioned on the Discovery and the Military channel on television.. This was discovered form the Army testing grounds in Aberdeen, Maryland. The plasma is unique to depleted uranium, and only when moving as fast as the sabot rounds do. First of all I would like to discuss a little bit of the physics behind this. Matter can be in for states; solid, liquid, gas, and plasma, an extremely high energy state. Plasma in on the inside of some neon lights, and lighting. When a sabot round hits a target and the found is moving fast enough, it strikes the target creating enormous amounts of friction, it melts trough the armor and the tip of the round turns to plasma, burning into the enemy, that’s why it is so darn effective. This doesn’t happen to other metals because they are not as dense. I talked to my grandfather, who is a atomic engineer for the Navy, he said that the plasma effect was logical. He is a real expert on physics. If you can read; study the following. Uranium can be engineered to be “self-sharpening” so that when it hits a target, it retains its punching point as material erodes off the warhead (titanium and tungsten will not do this). Uranium’s molecular structure can re-formed, using metallurgical and “nano-technologies” to deliver a selected range of ballistic features, including kinetic, thermal, pyrophoric, liquid metal and high-pressure/high-heat, plasma effects. Uranium is a readily available metal, cheap to produce and is in abundance in DOE’s, DOD’s and their weapon’s contractors’ stockpiles. Uranium has been designated a high priority material for scientific research on new weapons and “stockpile re-cycling” as a strategic and capital asset into multiple military applications. This is from: http://globalresearch.ca/articles/UMR306B.html It is a well-known fact on both sides of the argument for the safety of using depleted uranium. The impact of a kinetic energy weapon turns part of the the armor and all of the projectile into plasma and a shock wave with a vector towards the target. This plasma jet and shock wave, in turn, penetrates inside the hull by blowing a larger hole. The resultant shock wave, plasma, and metal fragments cause some or all of the ammo to sympathetically detonate, and, not so incidentally, kill the crew. This is from: http://timblair.net/ee/index.php/weblog/comments/its_all_about_soil This is also from a solider, but I guess all the people in the military and the real experts in Aberdeen are wrong! As said it is a known fact to both sides of the argument. According to the US Army the single-shot kill ratio of DU penetrator rounds into heavy armored vehicles such as tanks is approximately 8% greater than conventional tungsten cored penetrators. Against light armor that ratio is significantly higher due to the pyrophoric nature of DU - it basically converts on impact into a superheated plasma jet that burns through the armor. This is from: http://www.thehypertribe.net/forum/printthread.php?t=8011&pp=100 Who doesn’t even believe they should be used. Even according to the Encyclopedia. Depleted uranium is favoured for flechette construction due to two particular properties: being self-sharpening and pyrophoric. On impact with a hard target, such as an armoured vehicle, the nose of the flechette rod fractures in such a way that it remains sharp. Further, the impact and subsequent release of heat energy causes it to disintegrate to dust and combust when it reaches air (compare to ferrocerium). Against an armoured vehicle this is devastating, piercing the hull to create an extremely hot ball of dust and gas in the interior, killing or injuring the crew and igniting fuel and ammunition. Did I not say it melted through armor? If you need any more here is some more proof. Uranium can be engineered to be "self-sharpening" so that when it hits a target, it retains its punching point as material erodes off the warhead (titanium and tungsten will not do this). Uranium's molecular structure can re-formed, using metallurgical and "nano-technologies" to deliver a selected range of ballistic features, including kinetic, thermal, pyrophoric, liquid metal and high-pressure/high-heat, plasma effects.

Uranium has been designated a high priority material for scientific research on new weapons and "stockpile re-cycling" as a strategic and capital asset into multiple military applications. Or even read this about aircraft. A-10 Thunderbolt Designed in the late 1970s, this aircraft was built around a single anti-tank weapon, the largest airborne gun in existence. It fires extremely high velocity three cm. diameter Depleted Uranium (DU) tipped shells. These shells turn to plasma (an iodized gas of protons and neutrons) which burns streaming holes through the hulls of armored vehicles. This is from: http://coat.ncf.ca/air_show/links/background.htm If what I have presented isn’t enough, just get on Yahoo, and do some searching you can find as many articles about it as you want. http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=depleted+uranium+penetration+plasma&prssweb=Search&ei=UTF-8&fl=0&xargs=0&pstart=1&fr=FP-tab-web-t-297&b=1 Or if you want, just pretend it doesn’t even happen.
