Yeah, with depleted uranium penetrators that make little mini nuclear
explosions on impact... :-)
On a related subject, one of the guys I worked with was in the navy for 4
years. I forget what his job was, but it was not a metalurgist. He was
describing the Phlanx ship defense system that uses a 20mm vulcan cannon,
and informed me that the gun used 'depleted titanium rounds'. Must be
heck on the barrel walls, eh? :-)
But they are going to be making a 10 round, huh? I saw an 8, yes eight,
round .357 of theirs. The cylinder must have been 2" in diameter...
