This might be a technicality, but I don’t see anyone mentioning it yet, but it’s also incredibly dense making it an excellent material in a penetrating round in firearm ammunition. They use depleted uranium rounds as a form of ammunition and they are bad/deadly because humans are prone to being very leaky when penetrated several times with metal projectiles.
