My dumb ass expecting them to actually be green.
Steel core M855 rounds almost always have painted green tips, actually.

“Killing people
in battleis okay, but the climate is where I draw the line”🤣
It makes sense at scale the U.S. Military operates at.
Oh.
Oh
I’d be happy if the world just stopped producing ammo completely, but as long as that’s not an option, I prefer the stuff that’s causing less harm as a side-effect in addition to the harm it’s causing anyhow.
Furthermore, not every bullet will kill someone or something. According to this site around 16 billion bullets are produced annually which seems to be a rather low estimate to me. Why spread 16 billion pieces of harmful substances a year across the globe if there’s an alternative?
Reminds me of the debate over carbon sequestration. “We will burn this fuel and through decades of painstaking, expensive engineering, reduce its impact!” To which others reply “or you could just…stop?”
Lead free ammo does make a big difference though. So many condors and other scavenging raptors die of lead poisoning
Some of the key issues with traditional ammunition were contamination of manufacturing sites, shooting ranges and long term health hazards for servicemen.
Green manufacturing is good even if it’s potentially to kill people.
Im a fan of the waxed cardboard drones that are coming out, biodegradable and invisible to radar.
Waxed cardboard drones that are invisible to radar? Going to have to look into that.
I was expecting a harmonica microphone.
