Just for the record, no one uses depleted Uranium rounds as an anti personnel ammunition. They're used in large tank rounds as an anti-armor round. The Atomic number of Uranium is 92, higher than Gold (Which is 79) It is denser and suitable to create a 'spear' in the anti-armor round to punch through enemy tank armor. No one creates or uses bullets for used in small arms like pistols or rifles with Uranium rounds, that would be absolutely ridiculous. Even depleted Uranium has a certain amount of radioactivity.
