Friendly fire isn't.

1:03 this is the major reason why they use DU, it kinda has a "self sharpening" effect where if you shoot it fast into some metal, it will kinda re-align itself and keeps shedding material to keep a sharp point going straight in instead of blunting/shattering/bouncing like a material like tungsten would do.

Actually the main reason is that it is dirt cheap. The self sharpening is a property that offsets the fact that it is much softer. The penetration depth of tungsten is pretty much the same but at a multiple of the cost of DU, also because tungsten cant be processed like ordinary metals. In the end, however, penetration depth of either projectile is pretty much the same.

I think the majority of the health effects are from velocity, not heavy metal toxicity. 😛

The main reason for using gloves with depleted uranium is in case the shells were not cleaned well and may have uranium dust on it. Ammunition factories usually don’t worry about contamination on their cores and probably do not do not ensure everything is cleaned completely from metal deposits. If this shell was well cleaned (say a degreaser and a good scrubbing) there is no threat from handling it. You couldn’t chemically free any uranium to somehow be absorbed without significant work. You could even put it in your mouth and it’s not going to leach any uranium into your body. Now of course if you fragment the uranium then you have to worry about ingesting bits of it. The smaller the particle size the worse. However as when it fractures it is often very sharp, small silver like shards causing physical damage is a risk. In general depleted uranium poisoning is on par with most other heavy metal toxicity. A small amount is not going to really do much of anything, repeat exposure is not very good. And while it doesn’t directly lead to cancer, heavy metal contamination does increase the overall risk of developing tumors and all sorts of other problems (neurological, immune, etc)

Tungsten-Carbide, awesome!!! I wondered how it compared to depleted uranium. Damn... And way less toxic. Nice listening to someone that know this stuff too! (I noticed he tried less with the depleted uranium, sure it's depleted, but i still wouldn't want to get it too hot... "cuz you never know..." as my mom always said. Love that Hexagon shirt, haha.

It's also pyrophoric; hot fragments tend to ignite in the air.

1:59 The A-10 really is fascinating, the whole airframe was actually designed around the gun. They decided what gun to use first, and designed the aircraft accordingly. It also keeps all the shell casings inside the aircraft instead of dumping them overboard, that helps to keep the aircraft balanced as the rounds are spent, and also allows them to recycle the shell casings.

Always lovely to see anything that refers to the Gau 8 Avenger. Gotta love a gun so obscene that the military officials said "We need to build a plane around this," do it, and keep it going for decades.

The A-10 is a beauty of a machine indeed and the funniest part is that the plane is built around the gun so in technicality it's an accessory to the gun.

Hey there tyler! Really cool video as always, thanks for making these, they‘re really informative and also oftentimes you can have a good laugh! I‘d say this video had 1 NUCLET, you mentioned something nuclear very fast (NUCLETs is a measuring unit somebody wrote in a shorts comment. 1NUCLET = 20 seconds until you mentioned something nuclear) Also, i‘d have a channel (and video) recommendation: „xkcd‘s What If“ is the channel name, i think reacting to several videos at once might be fun, but specifically his newest one, „What if you swam in a nuclear storage pool“. Anyways, i wish you all the best and a late happy easter!

Oh that's interesting I thought depleted Uranium was a biproduct of spent fuel not the fuel production process. Learned something today.

The tungsten carbide was impressive.

Not sure you should be implying that density = hardness. Both lead and gold are pretty dense, but also very soft.

Me when the depleted uranium got smushed: "…no…"

I have nothing but love for the A10!

For not being a gun expert you got that spot on correct it’s a 30 mm round nice job

Any chance you could react to XKCD's What if? "What if you swam in a nuclear storage pool?"

The tungsten carbide is way more shatter prone. I didn't know how much harder it actually was compared to DU.

I've got a A-10 turbine blade hanging in my room.

I really would have come off as unprepared if I hadn't watched the video to the end. However, there is a huge difference in the two metals in how they behave under high speed impact. One just splatters and that's why it's not used in weapons, while the other is hard enough, but also malleable, giving it a huge advantage in high speed penetration! Unan doesn't splash, it's heavier, the kinetic energy is huge, compared to the proposed candidate. Yes, the hydraulic press is no proof in this regard. It can't imine even something as elementary as momentum ;)

I think the biggest actual production hand-held rifle is 20mm. Still a beast, though. I wonder if they fire DU rounds with them? As for the silence, I think most of the hydraulic press channels are european and many don't speak clear english, so they just use subtitles (Although one of the Finnish ones, the one with the bald dude and his wife, don't care about their accents. He's hilarious.)

depleted uranium is used a check source on many CDV-700 Geiger counters

Wouldn't the fiestaware plate be more radioactive than the depleted uranium?

1:55 a gun so big that they had to design the plane AROUND it also if it fires for too long the plane will fall out of the sky due to lack of lift.

Speed beats armour. Well, that and hardened cores of most of the tougher materials.

yep we men can be simple creatures watch one hunk of metal crush another hunk of metal and we are happy

Yep who not have a radioactive materials?!

Think about the kind of force modern armor is being subjected to... I don't care if it's going to (largely) protect me, I don't want to be in a tank that gets struck with that much force. 😉

Xkcd just released a video about what would happen if you tried swimming in a spent nuclear fuel pool I think you would like.

The bro implies depleted uranium is reasonably harmless but the citizens of Fallujah would disagree very much.

Yessir 30mm housed in the A-10 Warthog

Gotta love how in the native Scandinavian languages (Swedish origin) "tungsten" literally just means heavy stone xD

It's just Win-Win.

A-10 Thunderbolt is not the real name. The real name is A-10 Warthog.

I want to do it but i don't have Uranium.

i am skeptical if thats uranium. uranium is not really a malleable metal

The A-10 ended up being shit as designed for the job it was intended to do. Which was to stop Soviet tanks from flooding through the Fulda Gap. Several tests were done with the gun on armored targets and the results were unsatisfactory. It didn’t really gain its lethality against armor until it got the Maverick.

Yes, it's dense, hard, self sharpening as it penetrates, and the flakes that sheer off of it as it self sharpens are pyrophoric (ie: they auto ignite in an oxygen environment) So unlike a similar mass of say... tungsten, when a DU round burrows into armor it will ALSO, if penetration is successful - tend to shower the interior of the target with burning metal with a similar burn temperature to magnesium. (So you have what's left of the penetrator core and any spall knocked off the interior wall of the armor whizzing around the crew compartment at potentially lethal velocities. Ripping the crew up, damaging controls and equipment, and each one is also throwing sparks like a 12gauge dragons breath shell... INSIDE the vehicle. This can light up ammunition in the storage rack, ignite the vehicles fuel tanks, or disable/kill the crew. A tungsten penetrator will have a much lower chance of causing a fire inside the target. There is a reason why it is favored over Tungsten in some applications. The 4.5 kilo long rod penetrator that the M1 tank uses in the APFSDS M829 120mm tank round, is especially terrifying when it hits an armored target.
