Someone used to make civilian caliber explosive bullets- Hinckley used them (in .22LR) to shoot Reagan and those other people back in 1981. IIRC the bullet that hit Reagan was a riccochet off his limo, and so had already exploded. THe one that hit Jim Brady apparently exploded when it hit his skull, which is why he suffered brain damage but survived. A solid probably would have killed him.
There is NO fissile yield from a depleted uranium projectile as a result of impact with armor (or anything else). None.plus there is a slight fissile nuclear yield that contaminates the equipment and sickens any crew that survive the attack.
