I wonder whether the use of DU is actually universal in the Abrams. Using a dense metal has the price of weight. The Abrams is
already oversized (at least for the gun it fields). So it would be consistent that such damage could occur if the DU was not "deployed".
That may sound absurd but the injury from a training round 2.6 away is absurd. In a real conflict, the Abrams may be too heavy to
be effective.
This is where the T-14 with a weight of about 50 tons shines. It will be running circles around the slow moving Abrams and perhaps
other NATzO tanks as well.
