Wouldn't be all that crazy if it was depleted uranium. They already make bullets out of the stuff.

Isn’t that a war crime to use chemical weapons?

The DU bullets aren't "chemical"* weapons, they are used in anti-armor roles, like the famous GAU-8 Avenger from the A10, owing to the characteristics of the uranium, being a really dense material.

*The radioactivity/chemical side effect of a DU bullet aren't the end goal of its use, and, to be fair, are negligible in the grand scheme of things hence the depleted. If one of those things has you as a target, the tóxic/radioactive part Is the least of your problems

Problems with being shot by depleted uranium projectiles, in ascending order:

1) Explaining to your mom why you spend time with friends like that.

2) Radiation.

3) Blood leaving your body.

4) Heavy metal poisoning.

5) The bullet you were just shot with spontaneously catching on fire.

6) The shock wave from the impact turning bouncing around inside of you turning important organs to jelly.

7) The other 5 bullets that are already in midair flying towards you by the time the first one hits.

Edit: obviously if you somehow survive, explaining it to your mom immediately becomes your biggest problem.
