Being shot basically always develops some sort of long term issue. Usually chronic pain. From fragments it's more or less the same depending on size.Rhodesialund wrote:Puzikas wrote:
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.
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.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.
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.
Kathren, R. L., & Burklin, R. K. (2008). Acute chemical toxicity of uranium. Health Physics, 94(2), pp. 170-179 wrote: the LD50 for acute intake in humans has not been well established. Large acute doses of uranium can produce death from chemical toxicity in rats, guinea pigs, and other small experimental animals, with variation in sensitivity among species. However, there has never been a death attributable to uranium poisoning in humans, and humans seem to be less sensitive to both acute and chronic toxic effects of uranium than other mammalian species studied.

The US Army contracts people into specific MOS before they join. Some have five-figure signing bonuses.

I've heard that scoring highly on the ASVAB or whatever will let you have a choice of what career you'll have, it's just that you can't choose your location, only list prefs for that. Definitely asking the recruiter about that though.

Firing the semiautomatic M4 is horrifyingly disappointing, menacingly weak, and very very easy. It bruised my ego the first time I shot one, it was as loud as a 5.56 caliber cannon, and I had mild PTSD for the rest of the day whenever someone would show me much cooler fully automatic assault rifles in movies.
