Army Giving Up Traditional Ammo & Stopping Power For ‘Green’ Bullets
To quote liberals from the pranksters at SPNHeadlines.com “We don’t give a shit if you shoot people, but please do it without harming Mother Earth.”

Washington DC - -(Ammoland.com)- The Army is switching from lead bullets in many small caliber arms to “environmentally friendly” rounds in 2014, even through the lead bullets are tried and true while the stopping power of the “green” bullets is already being questioned.
The Daily Caller reports that the Army switched to a “green” round for its 5.56 mm ammo in 2010–these are the bullets used in an MP4 or an AR-15.
This ammo is referred to as an “Enhanced Performance Round” even though Fox News carried a report showing that Army testing shows the stopping power of the round is worse than expected “at less than 150 yards.” Nevertheless, the Army is pressing on and making the 7.62 mm bullet “environmentally friendly” by 2014 as well.
The Army predicts “the use of green 5.56 mm and 7.62 mm ammunition could eliminate the purchase of 3,683 metric tons of lead between 2013 and 2018.”

The tree huggers are on point boys and girls. Pretty soon we’ll be defending ourselves with foul language…
What is the green made off?????????
Warfare is not about stopping power. It’s about wounding, and if unlucky, killing. Treaties supposedly still govern small arms used in combat, and stopping power and lethality are both outlawed. Full metal jacketed rounds are allowed. These do not fragment, mushroom, or expand in the human body, therefore the wounded soldier, if no vitals are demolished, has a chance to be extracted alive from the theatre and to be treated. Of course no self respecting Muslims would limit themselves to such merciful prohibitions, so all bets are off in their cesspools.
