		<description><![CDATA[The projectiles are not copper but made of steel  Copper jacketing is used along the bourrelet, the part of the projectile in contact with the lands and grooves of the rifling.  The projectile from an M855A1 is said to have the penetration of the Army&#039;s standard lead projectile of 7.62mm caliber.  It&#039;s only disadvantage is that the exposed part of the steel is zinc plated and early production was subject to corrosion.  Even if copper was a useful metal for the bulk of a projectile, the costs would be prohibitive.  Have you priced copper lately.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The main reason why the military is switching over to &quot;green&quot; ammo is because of lead pollution at military firing ranges. As someone who is intimately familiar with military types of firearms and has had personal experience with lead poisoning from shooting, I think that your article makes it very clear the level of ignorance you have on this subject. Lead-free ammo is in the future, whether you like it or not - it has to be, for sustainability reasons if nothing else. While the technology behind it isn&#039;t as mature as FMJ lead ammo techology thats been around for over 100 years, it will catch up. In fact, lead free bullets from Barnes are some of the best preforming rifle bullets on the market and have become very popular with hunters. The biggest hurdle is to come up with lead-free primers that are stable and have a long storage life.]]></description>
