Hello,

Uranium is a heavy metal similar in toxicity
to lead and cadmium and is used in
glassmaking and pottery for colouring.


Uranium is unique, because it burns at high temperatures and turns into
a smoke-like very fine dust. This dust goes deep into your lungs while
you breathe and causes cancer due to a combination of radiation and
chemical toxicity.

This does not happen with tungsten (wolfram) or lead.

Question: is there any shooting range inside the CONUS with live DU
pratice?
