DU is (was) only used in penetrator rounds that require significant hardness, density and speed to work. AT rounds from a portable tube launcher can't achieve the speeds required for penetration, so they use high explosive, shaped-charge warheads. Those are the heavier rounds.

DU is the worst thing ever, it kills children, mains the living, and pollutes everywhere it reaches for years on end.
Oh wait, I thought you were talking about DemocraticUnderground.com, not depleted uranium.
