no.
The irony of the Snail sponsoring one of your videos is palpable.
Love you Oxide but ew no. Fuck warthunder. Absolute shit tier game.
@Frankthetank123098 i've not noticed this 2017-2022. i've heard about that kind of stuff in high tier air arcade and nowhere else. hackers are something i have encountered maybe 3 times in 5,000 hours

when the enemy sniper hits me with the dollar store sabot tank shell
*charges sr25* boooyyy you fucked up
The dollar store sabot was the the 7.62 SLAP wasn't it, The dud was the harbor freight version.
This is the most 70's "fallout" type ammo i've seen.
Indeed
INCREDIBLY based. I can't wait for the overpenetration test that hits the neighbor's dog seven houses down.
"draw my rifle loaded with depleted uranium armor penetrating rounds on the second man, miss him entirely because the ammo is 50 years old and nail the neighbour's dog five houses down the street."
Sounds like the perfect test for ATF agents
@@alexandertheok9610 well prolly deserving. came across a ultrasonic video to keep dogs from barking. I've never seen so many ppl say they have crappy neighbors who have a baseball team of dogs and are gone all the time and they listen to 1-? dogs constantly bark. Idk why. We have so many options for barking. Collars, whistles, plug in devices etc. I've been there with neighbors dog barking 10 hrs at a time. I love dogs but it pushes u to urr limit. Far enuff to give them special treats that don't harm them but make them sleepy and have less, way less anxiety, or exlax. Maybe after their owners come home to river of shit they actually care for them. Thank god for these videos, collars, and cbd, thc. sleep well doggy.

I laughed way too hard at this.
Would be cool to test that against panzer-4 side armor
Oxide truly showing his infinite reach over nuclear weapons.
technically speaking DU is more like nuclear waste...
@@AKAtheA potato, pototo. radiation is radiation.
@@NothingEverHappensLol the resulting contamination from these 2 small rounds will be undetectable after a year or 2, depending on how much it rains wherever he fires them. Also this thing is more dangerous chemically, as it's a heavy metal.
This is super interesting!
One way you can probably do this safely is to find an "outside anonymous expert" that does the firing and testing instead of you. You only edit and present the footage and findings 😉

@@Oxide_does_his_best no as in. It would be “not you or anyone you know” 😉
@@Oxide_does_his_best I don't think nuclear samples are illegal in USA. As there are companys like United Nuclear who sell samples to the public.
@@LabiaLicker But they are licensed. In addition DUDS ammo almost for sure is ITAR and export restricted.
Today I learned making a dirty bomb is illegal.
Thanks Oxide!
Stick with the clean ones, perfectly legal!

I have the sneaking suspicion that oxide is known to his commanders more than his peers
6:27 And so we are given a brief glimpse into the internal war between the brickshithouse transport helicopter pilots and the zippy twink attack helicopter pilots.
I’m imagining Oxide’s fellow pilots’ reactions to the fact that quite literally Oxide has nuclear munitions in his collection.
You do know theres a reason it's called "depleted" dont you?
@@nickburns8096 yes, I know what depleted means. I’m just saying nuclear because others refer to it as nuclear. Also besides people have been known to get radiation poisoning even from depleted uranium as it’s quite literally nuclear waste.

Mfs legit went “Jimbo we need a more expensive AP round”
Mfs = niggas
This stuff is a lot cheaper than tungsten.
@@crowe6961 Yeah considering the scarcity of tungsten in the US for small arms ammo and the fact that the army is counting on a tungsten core 6.8mm bleedmore 80000 psi round fired out of the xm5 rifle to defeat enemy infantry wearing level IV ceramic body armor (which you know is fucking stupid since the war in Ukraine has demonstrated once again that the NGSW was a pointless endeavor), you'd think somebody would at least consider using more depleted uranium since it's so much cheaper and arguable superior to tungsten in the AP role. The people who think DU is anymore dangerous or toxic than any other heavy metal like tungsten or lead are just idiots who get all their information from shitty clickbait tabloids.
Oh wow! Governmental Out-turns, is that you??
I got a small batch of these in early 2000's but not loaded ammo just projectiles, I loaded them into 30-06 and shot them in the desert at stacked and welded 1/4 steel plates. I do not remember the exact penetration but it was over 1 inch of mild steel and it made quite a large shower of pyroforic DU. The sparks convinced me to stop playing with them (Didn't want to inhale the dust or bring it home with me on my clothes), and I was in my teens at the time and I even knew this was dumb so I stopped..
Do you still have any remaining?
Where did you manage to score them?
@@marklynch1305
Ammo dealer I met and bought ammo from at the Orange County, California Gun show. He used to sell all the interesting ammo, .50 rafus, .308 API, spotter rounds, tracer, old M2 30-06 black tip was always fun and was nasty stuff will go through everything other than level 4 plates.
But no one sells stuff like that in CA anymore, have to go to Nevada or Arizona there I am sure they still sell them.
That was before all the rifle caliber pistol BS and the crack down on AP ammo so I am not sure.

Bravo! Good Show! I hope to see them on film someday! Definitely high speed!
Hey Oxide, been a long time viewer. I don't usually comment on videos, but this specific one had exceptional production quality, and I really also enjoyed the little throwback to War Thunder, where your channel all started. Keep up the good work and good luck in your journey in the Army.
Ah man Oxide did not just get some finger sized uranium bullets from God knows where...
I hope you are able to fire these rounds so we can see how they would perform

Great to see you come back. Best thing to end 2022
Fallouts ammo of the future. First fusion then DUDS
Depleted uranium penetrators are mostly used in the US.
It is only half as radioactive as natural uranium ore you mine, so not a health problem unless you inhale the dust.
It was used so much in the US as DU is a byproduct of uranium enrichment so it was dirt cheap compared to tungsten.
Today most use the alloy tungsteen that has improved a lot but still expensive to manufacture and very hard to work, but is about 50% better in overall toughness then pure tungsten and hardness close to diamonds.
US has unclasified comparision reports like (Tank Ammo Section report no.107) from 1980 but the tungsten alloy there was only Rc 55+ when today alloys are Rc 76 /Ra 90.
Really, given how DE is a byproduct of nuclear enrichment.... one has to ask what the Soviets and China did with THEIR DE stocks.
Also it’s important to note that natural uranium ore isn’t very radioactive either. It’s only when you refine it that it becomes properly radioactive.
It takes a surprisingly high amount of inhaled uranium ore to affect your body radioactively, so you just get sick from having toxic metal inside of you well before the radiation takes hold. Your kidneys would fail just from the metal itself before you get any sort of cancer.
Because of this depleted uranium is virtually as safe as any other metal in terms of radiation. Still wouldn’t want to breathe the dust, but I wouldn’t want to breathe in metal dust in the first place.
@@Chevsilverado while radioactivity is low, there are atoms of U235 in there and when you ingest them they tend to stick in one place. they emit alpha particles whick cannot penetrate but pack a real punch in energy, much more than gamma rays. cancer is likely after a few years in young bodies. oldies like me no longer are growing so pretty much safe
@@Chevsilverado Even in terms of the heavy metal toxicity, uranium is a lot less bio-available than lead. It passes through the body a lot quicker, doesn't cross as many barriers. I'd much rather be forced to inhale DU dust than lead dust, though avoiding either is ideal.
Good luck not inhaling dust. These are just a bad idea unless you really REALLY need them.
Gulf war syndrome in a can.
Have you reached out to JAG and asked them about it? I’d love to know what their reaction would be to someone asking them if they can legally shoot a DU round and post it on RUclips
I've reached out to many lawyers and I get conflicting responses. Jag wouldn't know the answer to a question like this.
@@Oxide_does_his_best Asking JAG to reach out to the Department of Energy might be the best bet. Department of Energy is ultimately in charge of that sort of thing, and JAG can mostly keep it in goverment channels.
You'd be amazed at how much nuclear radioactive stuff is traded around legally still. Fire alarms have a bunch in them. Older industrial ones have tons in them. Tritium vials have it, many watches with glow paint has it, heck even granite countertops and monuments will make a detector go haywire lol
i mean....shit happens at the range every day....who's to say they weren't in a random belt of ammo?
I have a round of 12.7x108mm loaded with a sabot/projectile that looks exactly like that one (only bigger of course). I picked it up at a cartridge show back in the early 1990s. The seller had no info about it other than it was an alternative form of SLAP ammunition and I never came across any other information about it over the years.
I always assumed the penetrator was tungsten alloy like the US SLAP rounds and thought that it was probably some sort of clandestine production for a foreign military based upon it being an Eastern Block cartridge.
Do you have a Geiger counter? Can buy them online pretty easily! Good idea to have one anyway and you'll know if you have DU if you're curious.
@@angry_zerglingMake sure the Geiger counter measures alpha radiation. Most of the cheap ones don't. Alpha is harmless. Stopped by a piece of paper or your outer skin. Unless you breath in the dust after it undergoes pyrophoric ignition(sparking) and you breath in any dust left lying around.
hello ,your round is loaded with a tungsten core ,even if the appearence is similar to the 7.62 DUDS
You mind citing my video you used?
@JamesCZFEA Knew I was forgetting something, tried to hit you up about that earlier
@@Oxide_does_his_best check your discord, I've messaged you
Had no idea they made DU ammo in-real-life for 30 cal sized firearms. Wild! Can't wait to see one hit some AR500.
I believe i read somewhere long time ago that looked fairly official and sorta seemed to know what they were talking about, that these rounds are supposed to penetrate 30mm of RHA .

Hey Ox, You said Profiliation... What you meant to say was Proliferation... Love your videos brother.. you be safe Bro..
Dude that audio from the Apache's at the end was hilarious! As an Ex Navy Nuke I'd say more than likely the NRC won't like the fact that you have these but from the age and size of the material those rounds are safe to handle and not really a concern when it comes to activity. Just don't eat them. Then there is concern.
Impressive find ;)
Just as the founding fathers intended

U-238 is essentially not radioactive at all, when compared to U-235, no?
if you shoot this we need a high speed camera at the target i wanna see this in proper detail.
Jesus, that is a monster of a bullet from what im seeing so far. Good job getting ahold of this, somehow
Damn so many Firearms content creator in comment section
Community really look forward to this one it seem.
i’m very interested in this round but i can’t seem to find any info on it on the internet, if i may ask, how did you get your hands on these rounds? i also can’t seem to find any info on pacifica technica
You could go to another country and fire the rounds there where it's legal to do so. It would take money though especially if you are willing to take risk
It is illegal to cross borders with this lol
You just got a subscriber for me for randomly finding this video
Holy crap. I never expected to hear part of the GitS soundtrack in this part of the internet. Nice choice.
DU round vs Russian Pizza Oven Helmet
Another plus with du ammo is that it actually uses a waste product so is actually relatively cheap compared to tungsten carbide
Love the vids and would love to see a gun collection vid to show off all your projects and progress. Keep up the great work
Powder charge weight doesnt matter much since we dont know what propellent it is. What is interesting how much the projectile might weigh in grains.
I know 308 rounds are loaded with 140 to 180gr bullets.
If when one is fired fire it thru a chronograph.
The headstamp says Lake City , NATO cross and 1970 with crimped primer.
Looking forward to future vids.

worth asking NileRed about radioactive materials, he made Uranium Glass, and got a proper overview.

The man the myth the legend is back
If fired into a stack of several level 4 armour plates, how many would it perforate?
And somehow showing off you have depleted uranium bullets to the Internet, may not score you a visit from the feds ?

I would trust your higher ups saying you wont get in trouble like asking the atf if anythings legal.
Where the hell is that clip at the end from? 😂
I never thought of the legality of using a DU projectile as falling under the same class as a DB. That is an interesting concept for sure. Thanks for including the short clip at the end btw, love that shit

Theres no legal issue shooting these
Oxide only makes bangers.
Darn It. I guess microstamping to identify and track these rounds.
Wasn't available 45+ years ago.
And it still isn't.
Stupid ideas don't always improve with technology.
I shot a lot of Skeet and reloaded thousands of rounds 35+ years ago. 12G, 20G and .410 (a real bitch).
I was tutored by the older generation guys who taught me a lot at the Lackland AFB Trap and Skeet Range from 1984-1987. And the same older generation guys, with mad knowledge, at the Peterson AFB Skeet and Trap Range from 1987-1991. Both of those ranges are now Military housing areas.
Every shot of 1,000,000+ rounds of 12G #9 1 ⅛ ounce shot shells put ~658 2.03 mm pellets out in that field. They do soil remediation. But would you want your 2-5 yo kid digging around in that dirt?
I loved reloading. It saved $ and was relaxing to reload back then.
I enjoyed it. However, these men told me that virtually all commercially sold gun powder like IMR/Hodgdon, or my usual, Winchester ball powders. Contained microscopic ID tags that contained Lot#s, production dates, general distribution companies and or regions? To track bag guys.
And probably my DNA? I made that that last one up.
That was impossible back then. Today? Who knows? There's probably nano-RFIDs in the powder.
I'm curious to know if gunpowders used in military small arms ammunition contained these these same microscopic tags 45-50 years ago? I'm just curious.
I doubt it. Does anyone know?
Damn, so no uranium bullet for the lab?
Would love to see you get a APS underwater rifle for "review" purposes
I have some ammo for it
@@Oxide_does_his_best Jesus jones this man can get anything. I think that gun is so Fucking cool would love to see one someday
I just jumped when I realised you put nightstalker as background music, incredibly based.
Best of luck, hope you actually get to shoot these.
Worst. Acronym. Ever.
I can't think there is much difference if any between DU and a similar Tungsten carbide projectile.
There's 2 big differences, DU penetrators are self-sharpening, meaning that it maintains a sharp penetrating point as it strikes a material, and is pyrophoric, which means it has an incendiary effect on-target.
Neither of these qualities are found in standard WC penetrators, to the best of my knowledge.
Density of tungsten carbide: 15,6 grams per cc (cubic centimeter, cm³).
Density of metallic tungsten: 19.3 g/cm³.
Density of metallic (natural or depleted) uranium: 19.05 g/cm³.
Density of good ol' lead: 10.6 g/cm³.
Plus, as already mentioned, DU is self-igniting upon impact, and it shards rather than goes blunt upon impact.
What's more. given that it's a rest-product after uranium enrichment, the US alone is sitting on more than 400,000 metric tons of the stuff. It's also considered to be a low level radioactive waste, so it's still in stock.
Oh, and if we ignore the radioactive bit for a moment, the metal is also poisenous in a chemical sense.
@@Hydrazine1000 I'm reasonably (but, not totally) sure that for the purposes of testing against thin plates used in body armour and helmets, that the self-sharpening or pyrophoric properties of DU wouldn't be that much radically different to an identically sized and shaped tungsten penetrator.
The problem would be acquiring a tungsten rod suitable for making substitute penetrators from, the most obvious source would be TIG tungstens (there's even a variety of alloys to chose from) but I think they top-out at 4mm (5/32"), which might be *just* not quite big enough.
@@dj1NM3 I guess that more conventional AP small arms munition were just too close to these d.u.d.s rounds in terms of effectiveness to warrant all the extra hassle. (Cost, multi-part rounds, the radioactivity, the pollution, etc.) The rounds never left the experimental phase.
Nice war thunder throwback. The first video of yours I ever watched was Firestarter. Still listen to the Torre Florim cover semi often.
Bonus points for the Ghost in the shell music!! 👍😉
Btw Uranium is more toxic than Lead metal, so be careful!
And Indeed it is also radioactive, so it's double the fun! 😅☠️☢️😬
Another reason for the use of DU is the low cost. The DoE has to store it, which costs money so why not "sell" it to the DoD on the cheap to off load the stuff. Also, owning nuclear materials (I mean anything radioactive enough to warrant same level of PPE) is definitely legal as they can be bought from chemical distributors.
I had no clue that D.U. ammunition was made for small arms, only knew about tank rounds
I wouldn't mess with them, your going to expose yourself and the environment to bad stuff, there are hundreds of servicemen with a multitude of cancers from handling du ammo and cleaning up vehicles that were shot up!
