 wow this is kinda messed up, I mean damn dude Hiroshima never had fallout quite like this and that was an atomic bomb. They leveled the city with 10,000 depleted uranium shells and has caused irreperable damage to the civilian population. Guess that'll teach them for being in a city where terrorists happen to be.

I'm a certified UXO tech (unexploded ordnance technician) and was a mortarman the only depleted uranium rounds I know of is a tank round designed to puncture armor and bunkers. To my knowledge of arty rounds and rockets none of them use depleted uranium. Most arty and mortar rounds are a steel Or alloy casing with either comb b,rdx or tnt based filler with fuzes that if anything have black powder in them. Rockets are the same just with electronic fuzing. This goes for bombs to with the exception of the fuel air bomb which is basically napalm. Mark 81 and 82 which is the most common bomb we use are just a ton of tnt or comb b with a ignitor no uranium.

depleted uranium is used in tank rounds, any minigun system on an AC-130 gunship or A-10 thunderbolt , the 30 mm Apache cannon, the Bradley main gun and the LAV-25's main gun. the reason why is because it makes the round have a bigger impact and theoretically better penetration. Nobody expected the fallout though and Kuwait wasnt even close to the problems Fallujah has and the US as well as the UK has used these types of rounds since the Gulf War.

The war in fallujah is still going on. US forces are pushing back into Iraq. My unit is heading back there next September to relive the 101st airborne. There has already been 3 battles for fallujah expect 2 of which involved american forces  a 4th one.
