Green ammunition

November 30, 2006 - by Dana Childs, Cleantech Group

Greentech goes bang, bang.

American Ammunition, Inc. announced today that it has added 7.62mmx39mm rifle ammo to expand its ECO-AMMO line of products. ECO-AMMO is a lead free projectile with reduced lead pollutants sometimes referred to as green ammo. ECO-AMMO is ideal for indoor ranges since it disintegrates upon impact and therefore no ricochets.

I'm not sure "frangible" ammo that "disintegrates upon impact" leaves me feeling that warm and fuzzy.

The president of the company says that the majority of shooting enthusiasts are "firing outdoors because of the limited types of munitions available". By providing these new rounds, ideal for indoor use, shooting enthusiasts will be able to enjoy their shooting experience year-round, it says.

Ah, the lifestyle improvements clean technology affords us.
