Green Bullets

The Department of Defense started the Green Bullets program and developed a new nontoxic bullet designed for the M-16 rifles used by US and NATO troops. This new "green bullet" is just as effective as traditional ammo but poses no environmental threat. Instead of a lead core, the bullet is composed of a mixture of tungsten and tin.
