Several months ago I was walking across campus and saw a group of folks protesting the use of Depleted Uranium Sabot Rounds in the M1A1 Tank for environmental and health reasons. Who wants to live in a neighborhood awash with depleted Uranium? Most of the alternatives are also toxic, lead for instance. That's when I had the brilliant idea: Use frozen goat meat. I can assure you that no tank could withstand a 15 kg chunk of frozen goat sabot traveling at three times the speed of sound. Cleanup of any goat meat round fragments would be taken care of by local wildlife.
Another advantage is that instead of producing the raw material for the tank rounds in nuclear reactors, tankers would be able to procure their own rounds at local markets all over the world.
