A-10 cannon is the biggest cannon ever fitted to a fixed wing aircraft its designed to chew through armour on its own, test it out i find i can easily destroy tanks with the cannon alone.

i'd just like to ask the PR crew thats checking this thread out hows it going with the laser marking that has been suggested. Is it hard coded or what?

there is probably a 99.999% reacurring chance that it is hard coded....
but there is always hope

Their lives have not been put in danger. Stop watching CNN, if I could remember which thread it is on worldaffairsboard I would post a link to the thread where a Canadian Army Engineer blasts some guy for going off on the topic. However, I'm, sure that if you found a small fragment of a DU round and ate it you could get sick.
The Engineer posted all kinds of evidence not to mention that he never had anyone get sick from that. He did say that they work with a lot of nasty stuff that is way worse though IIRC, considering the nasty chemical soup that military stuff comes with, especially the blown up burnt kind.

DU rounds are still radiactive. If im not mistaken, the radioactivity is reduced by 70%. But its still not healthy to be close to DU for extended periods of time...

LGMs kill any armour in one hit.
