I see a lot of talk of cesium and sodium filled rounds, but what of rubidium? Naturally occurring, next to no radiation, can be absorbed for use in nature, so the risk of accidental contamination is low. The reaction is near a violent as cesium, much more than the hydrogen/sodium/potassium rounds, and being the 16th most abundant element on earth, wouldn't require extensive outsourced mining operations, like cesium.
I would think delivery would be key. I would put this in a rifle round. Sure, you'd lose out to range (rubidium having 13.5% the density of lead) but with combat being reduced to double digit distances in most cases, having a round that reaches out to 300m+ loses it's value. To handle the speeds of delivery, I would forgo wax sealed over modified designs. Assuming it is used in current issue, 14.5" 5.56 rifles, I would marry the M855A1, supplement the bismuth with rubidium, and thicken the base of the jacket to control expansion and provide some stability to flight. Of course, this would be like firing a 35-40 gr varmint round the length of a 75 gr match bullet. With a steel (or similarly dense, non-polymer tip), the majority of the mass would be forward. I would reduce the overall length of the steel tip and focus on more reliable cold forged sealing techniques to keep the rubidium from leaking. Maybe going so far as to use a lead soft tip approach.
The end result would, in this example, create a stable fluid reactive round with limited over-penetration capabilities that would be sturdy enough to be jostled around in a magazine for days on end.
