No
why?
Because everyone else would keep using it. If we quit using DPU rounds... then our tanks are sub-par and given a severe disadvantage over anyone else using tanks.
If you breathe the depleted uranium dust in then you obviously were either running around dead tanks and scavenging or you were hanging around a talk and trying to snort some or something. We mostly use DU for AT rounds because we have no problems shooting bullets through people
Its not really that major a problem, if 1/10,000 people who have fought in wars have mild symptoms of radiation poisoning then it is nothing. The military grades radiation situations based on how much 90% of the soldiers can take, meaning that in the case of a dirty bomb the military would send approximately 10-20% of their troops to their death. No one had died from DU except for the enemy. Meaning the military would not ban it
