Bronze is essential for man-portable systems or else the heat from the friction will broil the user around the same time that it melts the barrel. Depleted uranium is unnecessary with a tungsten core. If you do not care about penetration, you can just use a bronze sabot around a nickel steel bullet (probably (2) rather than (3) armor penetration).
