in review of earlier topics the coven of elders have discussed we have decided to start research of a uranium amunition tactical shotgun.

Oh wow... talk about a dumb idea.

Maybe the depleted uranium shotgun would work if you used solid shot, and that's a major if! Forget buckshot or pellets; depleted uranium is still radioactive!

I'll put it to you this way. Remember DU bullets shot out of the A-10 warthog? They go through armour like butter, but still break to pieces, scattering radioactive fragments into whatever they're shooting. This has resulted in documented cases of Gulf War veterans getting sick due to being near Iraqi tanks shot up by DU rounds, for example.

So, how will this shotgun work? Are you going to sheath the shotshell in enough lead to block radiation? What's to prevent the user's nuts from glowing green for an entire month after prolonged use? What about cleanup after a gunfight? Etc... etc...

I suggest you follow this idea no further. It's too much of a hazard.

You assume they care about their own troops lives. As for the victim, well, the idea of guns is to harm one's enemies.

well if ye look at my previous posts than you would realize that i have already taken that into consideration with the armor that my clone army wears during combat. as of residue left on the armor my units are sprayed off before they and even come into contact of a ally without the armor.
