Green Bullets

Alright make bullets lead free, but calling them green? This is co-opting a term in the wrong direction. You can't put a pretty face on killing, sorry.

Can we call a bullet green that is not made from lead and therefor it won't contaminate the ground at a practice facility. That's fine, that's a start.

Talk about compartmentalizing.

What about when the green bullet hits a human being. Is it thank goodness I just got shot with a green bullet. Now my death is environmentally friendly...

The Army TImes: Army working on ‘green’ slugs

The new M855A1 lead-free slug will be made of a bismuth alloy that works much better and is designed to work specifically with the M4 carbine...there is an effort to remove all lead from the cartridge in the future.

“It’s good for the environment...2,000 metric tons [of lead] per year not going into the environment once this round replaces the M855.”
