Yes I am looking for some battle field scrap.
Yes I am looking for some armor piercing tips.
Uri and his crew, were in from Israel and demonstrating at 
ALFRED\ABANA, the making of hammers and they were
using these GREAT, slitting tools made of battle field 
tungsten scrap. they were driving these tools through 
3 inch, sq. hammer stock steel, like butter and they did not 
have to quench the tools, just let them air cool, they said
they were tips off armor piercing shells

I did talk to some one today who said the same thing , and
that was, the steel maybe 82tung-18colbalt and 
SPENT URAINIUM,
Do you know were I can get this material??

Uranium is avery low source of radiation under normal conditions, but it 
is a POISON!!!!!  Spent uranium still gives off radiation, but so do 
granite, bricks, bananas and the desert.  I have never read anything 
about the means of injestion and toxicity, but I know that absorption 
through the skin is a real danger.
  
Take it from an ex-nuke.

Aren't you glad we don't live in a country where you can easily obtain 
this stuff? I enjoyed watching Uri forge with Peter Ross' tools 
(second, impromptu demo.) He used one of Peter's mild steel punches. 
Belive his comment was "This tool is F***ed!"
