You will find that this weapon has been designed specifically to reduce collateral damage. Not increase it.
Surley you are joking. Of course, your source is not going to admit that their new weapon gives innocents Cancer. Are they?

I'm no expert on weaponry, but it appears that the military are/have been looking at Tungsten as a (possibly) safer alternative to lead/depleted Uranium. It MAY not be as safe as they thought. However I do note that DIME weapons are SUPPOSED to reduce 'collateral damage'. (SMG beat me to it!)

Anyway, I've yet to see any definitive proof that DIME weapons are being used in the current campaign (not saying they aren't, but I'd like to see something other than an Iranian TV source).

What sort of evidence would be good enough for you then?
