Green ammo

[Armnhammer]

M855A1 has anyone used this ammo or know anyone who has?

"The performance of the EPR against soft targets is the same as that of the M855 -- but it is more consistent. The new round is also "superior to 7.62mm M80 against soft targets," Woods said. But at the same time the new "green round" is more Earth-friendly than both the M855 and the M80 -- it is also more effective than either of them against hard targets."

Pretty good article I read on it a while back, though I can't attest to it's accuracy it seems like good info.

not trying to sound like a hippy or something, but, perhaps, instead of dumping a bunch of money into a green way to kill people, perhaps we should try to think of ways to not have to resort to needing to use them?

More effective than m80 against hard and soft targets... Hard to believe this

Settle down there, Pinko.
