New Cartridge Developments and Implications for Dismounted Infantry Soldiers

[Variable]

I find such complaints about using "green" bullets a bit amusing. Everyone seems to forget that during the latter years of World War II, the standard combat load of the US military -- .30 M2AP -- had a "light green" projectile, with nearly full-length steel core, and very little lead.

Also, one of the bullets most admired by military small arms enthusiasts is that used in 5.45x39 ammo. It also is of "light green" construction, with a long steel core and minimal lead.





Going "green" in military bullets ain't necessarily a bad thing.

Like Cory said, my issue is with them ever bringing bullshit "environmental concerns" into the mix. When we put steel into ammo in WW2 it was only because it made sense in placing holes and killing people.

If they found a special fairy flower that was 100% lethal and flew straight and flat? Fine, even if it was "renewable".LOL I'd shoot fairy flowers all day, but only because they worked better. NOT because of any BS environmental concerns.

They need to pull their heads out of their a$$es on that stuff. Ivan and Chang don't care two squats about how "green" their bullets are, only that they can kill you with them.

Next they'll be grounding US aircraft to avoid CO2 emmisions...... Political Correctness will be the death of our nation.
