.45 ACP US Army Ball FMJ is around 477 joules at the muzzle out of a five inch barrel. Tokarev out of a similar length barrel averages between 500 and 700 (the Czechs were notorious for edging towards the latter -- google "tokarev czech load", you'll probably see some stories about Russian TT33s blowing the gently caress up because someone shoved Czech ammo in them). I think .30 Carbine is ~1300 J. I could open a tab to wikipedia but

My favourite thing about it is its main guns had an effective range of half its maximum hourly travel distance. It could fire reliably at a target it would take half an hour to drive to.

If it's just shooting a hunk of DU, then not likely. Maybe if it hit a fuel line and sparked a fire...
