Depleted uranium isn't that dangerous... It's hardly radioactive anymore. That's why they call it DEPLETED.
They use it in tank armor now.

Yeah, depeleted uranium is extremely hard. 50 cal rounds would be tipped with it for armor piercing. I think such rounds are standard in Apache's 50 cals. And yes, they have been linked to some nasty cancers and birth defects. I'm pretty sure they're still used too.
