re; Bill Bennett
The freedom to make ridiculous rants was purchased with blood and weapons.

So this stuff inside some kind of steel sabot + the rail-gun under development at USN and we would be back to the days of gunboats. How high energy is \'high energy\' with regards to detonation, I wonder?

So this material will be used to make exploding bullets?

@Slowburn: \"The freedom to make ridiculous rants was purchased with blood and weapons.\" ... after it was taken from us with weapons.
It seems a win-win situation for weapon-manufacturers.

Or just by bullies that are just bigger and stronger. There is a reason guns are called \"Equalizers\". Weapons empower the weak, far more than the strong.

@slow burn: equalizers, unless you can\'t hit your target. Then you\'re just as dead as you were before guns.
Unless they can grind this stuff into a powder, it will be limited in usefullness. If it is a powder, it could not only be used as the charge but also as the propellant.

Existing casings use depleted uranium, which of course remains toxic for centuries.
I love the way they snuck \"in comparison to existing materials\" into their argument - makes it sound nowhere near as dangerous for the people who need to clean up the rubble then try to live there after all the killing has ended...

Isn\'t it just wonderful that the US military has found a more efficient way to kill fellow human beings? What else could the world possibly need?
