Don't mean to sidetrack this thread, but could someone please point me to articles that the US and other countries that currently or in the past have used DU have stopped manufacturing it for weapons? I tried doing a few searches, but most of what I come up with is the standard "DU kills everything because it's radioactive!" sites and a couple debunking sites. Nothing in regard to the discontinued weapons use.

I only ask because I remember reading an article once about how much more effective DU is as a armor penetrator than tungsten, as well as the fact that pretty much the only source for tungsten is China. It seems rather silly that the economic benefit and performance benefit would be abandoned simply because a few, misinformed vocal people are screaming about how evil DU is. After all, we still use lead for standard small arms bullets, and it's just about as dangerous chemically as DU is.
