Thumbs up

I believe you are correct.

However, my understanding is that unless you ingest DU you won't have a problem because the radiation is very weak and won't penetrate human skin, especially if encased inside a blade. The problem comes where there is a dust of DU allowing ingestion to occur inadvertantly.

Don't swallow any tip weights!
