Green Ammo For Training Ranges

by David Allen on Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

A bullet is one of those things that you could never think of as being green, but the US military are going to be using eco friendly ammunition in the future. This will first take place on the training ranges as every year the military us between six and ten million training rounds. Each of these rounds contains heavy metals within the fuse and potassium perchlorate in the payload.

However, by an executive order from the President of the USA the Department of Defence will be required to purchase green ammunition to be used on the training ranges. This is one of those occasions when it seems being green is overlooked by the fact that bullets are designed to kill, but now they kill in a green way.
