I love this idea, but I do think the strength should be way nearer uranium bullets.
Material |
Density (g/cm³) |
Impact Velocity (m/s) |
Penetration Performance (relative) |
Notes |
Uranium (DU) |
19.1 |
1500 – 1900 |
★★★★★ (very high) |
Self-sharpening, pyrophoric, excellent vs. armor |
Tungsten |
19.3 |
1400 – 1700 |
★★★★☆ (high) |
No self-sharpening, less effective vs. modern armor |
Steel |
7.8 – 8.1 |
800 – 1200 |
★★☆☆☆ (low) |
Lower density, used in standard ammo |
Perhaps i can also suggest that tungsten steel to be used in the recipe opposed to tungsten carbide.
