“The Army has been looking to ‘green’ small caliber ammo for some time now. In 2010, the Army switched to the greener 5.56 mm M855A1 Enhanced Performance Round. ‘The EPR replaces the lead slug with a copper slug,’ said Lt. Col. Phil Clark, product manager for small caliber ammunition in the Program Executive Officer Ammunition. ‘This makes the projectile environmentally-friendly, while still giving soldiers the performance capabilities they need on the battlefield. So far we have eliminated 1,994 metric tons of lead from 5.56 ammunition production.'”
