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...
