What is wrong with tungsten is that it bounces off state-of-the-art
armor as our soldiers happily observed when the enemy fired at them in
the first Gulf war. 

And when our soldiers and airmen shoot at the enemy, they prefer that
their rounds do not bounce off the enemy's armor. I guess they're just
funny that way.
