And unless the exposure reaches certain limits it can probably be treated afterwards.

I'd imagine radioactive shrapnel inside you probably isn't a great time if you survive being shot

You probably get more radiation from background

Now if you EAT it... Or get shot by it... Then you're in serious fucking trouble because alpha particles do not like the human body.

Or more specifically its insides

Oh yeah like polonium

Skin blocks the radiation but you're fucked if you ingest it

It won't get past your skin but if it bypasses skin via a bullet...

Well. RIP.

Edited

I'm sure it could be sort of treated but I wouldn't be confident that you'd live a natural lifetime at that point.

Uranium is about 1.6 denser then lead @Dust

Imagine swallowing a hot coal that jumps around burning all the inside bits it touches.

rip

Only the burns are worse than burns and the only way to get it out is to make it go through the other end ASAP. So it has to go the long way through touching a lot of shit

@galesteppes is the densest material known to man <:shap:497652686603288576>

So in a way getting shot by a radioactive bullet is actually probably way better than swallowing radioactive dust for instance. It already made a hole through the body to exit through.

So any fragments have hopefully exited the body

Keep in mind a single atom is enough to severely fuck and kill you so. They will be probably cutting away a lot of flesh where any fragments were embedded.

But yeah that's not even the reason it is used as ammunition. I bet it would be neat as a small arms caliber ammunition though.

Gonna need stronger propellant I think.

sorry only nazis here

@EnderOctanus errr no

but sort of

@Deleted User if you're gonna keep acting like a jackass I'm going to bar you from the serious channels

How am I being a jackass <:pepehands:378719408367075333>

It's just banter <:pepe_smile:378719407977005068>

What's this channel's name?

@EnderOctanus a single atom can kill you? No it can't

Breaking news <:think_madpepe:378717098630971395>

Okay so it's an off topic discussion?

Banter isn't breaking news faggot
