'Greening-up' for the coming climate wars. http://www.military.com/news/a...s-mean-in-green.html New Army Ammo Puts Mean in ‘Green’ May 05, 2011 ABERDEEN, Md. --- Tell a Soldier he's loading "environmentally friendly" ammo into his M4 mag and he might be skeptical about whether it's as effective as its lead counterpart. But Army officials here say the new M855A1 Enhanced Performance Round -- with its steel core instead of a toxic lead slug -- is far more effective than the current round, doubling the effective range and for the first time giving M4-wielding Joes the ability to penetrate barriers once reserved for higher-caliber rounds. | |||

Don't forget recycling toxic uranium. Putting it into the bullets. And blasting it all over!!!!!!!! (also a good way to get rid of one's toxic waste). | |||

How does that relate to the 'non polluting technologies' in the discussion subject? There is no DU in the M855A1 Enhanced Performance Round cited, as you've implied. If you follow the link and read the article you should be able to figure out that it deals with removing lead from bullets. I wasn't referring to DU munitions as being 'green' what point are you trying to make? I don't know of anyone claiming that recycling depleted uranium into munitions is 'green' or non-polluting. | |||
