Yes.
If your GM will let you do it is another thing.
If I was going to enchant the U-rounds I would use the enchantment spells found in the NB main book. because of their lower cost.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

keep in mind the # of U-rounds you have though. IIRC most spells of that kind are single target ones, meaning that to enchant multiple U-rounds would take multiple castings, one per U-round.

Some do list the number of projectiles they can affect.

good point, but the advice is still solid. with most weapons using U-rounds (railguns), the number of projectiles you'd have to enhance is very high. a C-40 for example fires 40 rounds per burst. and carries a 2000 projectiles as a standard ammo load. thats going to be alot of castings of the spell.

Thanks for the answers. Would Uranium bullets have the same effect of supernatural creatures(enchanted to be MDC of course)?

any projectiles made of uranium (or other radioactive material)will prevent the regeneration of the wound it causes.

doesn't matter if its MDC or SDC, just that it can inflict damage. if you have an sdc projectile against an mdc target for example, your not going to hurt it in most cases.

if you can enchant the 'U-bullets" to do MD, it should work fine.
