Please check the Follow-up line carefully. --CDR] Speaking of armor piercing small arms ammo, I have something I've been wondering about. I know that some anti-tank rounds use a depleted uranium shell to pentrate the armor on tanks. I was wondering if you used something like that in small arms would it be effective against light armor? Have a nice pointy depleted uranium bullet with a copper jacket. Would you end up with a pistol round that could penetrate body armor or a rifle round that could penetrate through the armor on a APC? -- Joel Upchurch/Upchurch Computer Consulting/718 Galsworthy/Orlando, FL 32809 joel@peora.ccur.com {uiucuxc,hoptoad,petsd,ucf-cs}!peora!joel (407) 859-0982
