I just thought it would be a more colorful explanation than saying that you could use a ruler instead of a tape measure. Plus like I've had roughly 3 hours of sleep last night. So my mind is impaired and my eyeballing is only correct to within +/- 1 meter.

Average human Male chest was 40in, however it has apparently grown to now be 42in, I assume this is based on the 18-24yom population. The average thorax length is 43.33in.

Puz, got a question for you since you're the one with the doctorates here.

Regarding the use of heavy metal materials in infantry-issued projectiles such as depleted uranium. Can you give us a full rundown on symptoms, full timeline upon internal contact of depleted uranium all the way to the time of death? Let's start with three seperate locations of impact on three separate individuals, the chest, thigh, and arm. All three locations of impact are areas where death isn't imminent, such as the nicking of arteries or causing extensive blood loss.

I'm asking this because I've tried googling this but it's kinda hard to find consistent answers regarding the much-politicized controversy regarding this. So I'm wondering if you are knowledgeable on the topic of heavy metal poisoning such as DU.

I just have the one. The second won't come until probably 2019/2020 depending on if I really even want it that much.

A bullet does not carry enough DU or other heavy metal to cause poisoning. The locational similarly matters little in regards to heavy metal poisoning. I had a patient a few weeks ago who admitted to eating about a teaspoon of copper a day-I don't know why-and he claimed to have been doing so every day for the last six years, and had only now just started to develop symptoms of copper poisoning.

Exposure to Uranium can cause both substance and radiological toxicity. I assume since we are talking about bullets the radiologic absorption is negligible at best. If someone were to sit there and eat a DU bullet every day for their service, they would contract Uranium poisoning. They would, however, squire medical issues far before this.

Symptoms of uranium poisoning usually begin to present themselves with a fever. At this point a bloodworkup and urine analysis would reveal the patient has β2 elevations and would have nephrotoxicity, based on levels of microglobulin, BUN/Non-protein nitrogen, and glucosuria, proteinuria, tubule degeneration, lesions and cell necrosis. Depending on the vector this may be accompanied by non-malignant resperatory disease.

Renal failure may kill the patient. There have been two studies (not tests-an important distinction) in 2002 and 2006, that point to that Uranium intake may be perfectly safe in small doses, and the cytotoxic effects or Uranium ingestion may be an abnormality of non-body substrate isolation tests. These studies survey the health of 193 individuals whom ingest approximately 0.078 micrograms of Uranium in well water daily, with the mean timespan being 16 years, and found the individuals had no significant abnormalities from uranium ingestion, or at least non that could not be easily explained by other, more common causes.

Ingestion by way of oral intake is second only to injection by way of IV for diffusion of substrates into the body, and as such it is safe to assume that a DU bullet, provided it does not kill the target, will probably not kill the target from heavy metal poisoning down the road. There are absolutely cases of DU poisoning occuring, but these are unique and isolated cases or are questionable at best.

Interesting on not carrying enough. What would you consider to be enough?

Also that last bit, makes you think that the concept of Social Darwinism is right. :eyebrow:

Exposure to Uranium can cause both substance and radiological toxicity. I assume since we are talking about bullets the radiologic absorption is negligible at best. If someone were to sit there and eat a DU bullet every day for their service, they would contract Uranium poisoning. They would, however, squire medical issues far before this.

Well yeah, you ingest enough of anything and it can kill you. From toothpaste to uranium.

What's particularly interesting is that it's not enough, whereas you hear that DU will poison someone once it's in them in popular media. Although this does bring up another subsection within this topic.

If a DU bullet penetrates some unlucky conscript's body armor, knowing of the armor piercing capabilities of DU and its pyrotechnic nature, couldn't the resulting pyrotechnics and self-sharpening be enough to cause long-term issues? I'm hypothesizing that the self-sharpening properties will allow enough fragmenting of DU to cause long-term issues, assuming that he managed to survive the initial contact.
