Uranium is used in armor penetrating bullets for several anti-tank and other anti-armored vehicle guns, not the guns themselves. It is both dense and hard which assists in penetration and it is pyrophoric which means when it penetrates it catches fire spontaneously and thus fills the inside of the vehicle (there the crew is) with flaming blobs of molten metal flying in every direction.
