Dear Cadet Seaman,

Please take my word for it. The DU round (or any AP round) does not sharpen itself as it punches through armor. In fact with some DU rounds they have had to develop a special unit on the tail so the round will not go in one side and out the other so it will in fact fragment on the inside of the tank after punching through.
