Talk:Armor piercing round

The article currently says depleted Uranium rounds explode on impact. I thought that Uranium dust was flammable, like magnesium, and that hot, tiny fragments of Uranium, stripped off by friction during the impact, would flare. That isn't quite the same as an explosion, is it? -- Geo Swan 20:56, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Merge?
I think this page should be merged into Armour piercing ammunition. This page seems to focus more on penetrators, while the other page is more about HE penetrators. However, since these two pages have such similar names and cover similar topics, why not merge them? The other page could mention in the introduction that armour-piercing ammunition varies from explosive to non-explosive, then it will have subsections on explosive rounds (like it already does), then make this page the subsection on non-explosive rounds. In fact, down the bottom, it aready makes a bit of mention of small-calibre non-explosive AP rounds. This page is short enough to fit in as a subsection within a larger page, methinks. Thoughts?
