The reasion that DEpleated uranium is to be avoided is not that it is radioactive (that is why it is called depleated - most of the radioactivity has gone) but that it is a 'heavy metal' like cadmium, mercury and lead and as such is very poisonous. The human body has no mechanism for removing these metals once they have been absorbed and bad things happen.

 

Gunrunner, very sorry to hear about you and your mates illnesses. When I used to get onto Kirkudbright scavenging tank parts (with full permissions) they would never let us near the DU targets so they were taking it seriously by then.

We never knew david about DU rounds they never told us and we found out through a local rag but by then it was to late removed heavy nato armour targets like they hand been sliced with a laser cutter and removing lots of guide wires and some hush hush stuff

Welcome along!

 

Any particular favourite vehicles, or just anything big and green?
