As a side note, depleted uranium is certainly still radioactive. "Depleted" refers to the percentage of U-235, the isotope used for making nuclear weapons. Only about 0.7% of naturally occurring uranium is U-235, with the rest being mainly U-238. U-238 emits alpha particles, with a half life of about 4 billion years.
The radioactivity is unrelated to its use as bullets, which relies on its high density, but it is radioactive.
