Don't worry, my HMMWV engine still has a data plate that says it can pollute as much as it wants to and the EPA can suck it.

My definition of "green ammo" is whatever is the least expensive.
Some rag posted about the new green ammo the arming is looking into. They were saying it was a big step down in performance and higher costs. I'll look for it to post a link.

The Green ammo is M855A1, I know InfinateGrim had some he did gel tests on but was pulled due to being "classified" that said the gel test he did was very very impressive. R0N also posted costs for the Marines and it was .11C more than MK318SOS, and .20C more than M855, so while it is more expensive its not a huge amount.
Can we stick to the topic at hand about chrome lining and less on the M855A1.
LMFAO... if the "Greenies" think a CL barrel is bad for the environment. They should look at what a Prius (or any hybrid)... specifically the nickel in the batteries does to the environment.

Almost two years old. I wouldn't worry about it.
.20c over M855 for a round that actually works and is being made on older less efficient machines. I am ok with paying .20c more for a round that actually fragments and actually works a whole lot better than M855 according to InfiniteGrims gel tests back when he had them available to see.
It is .11c more expensive than MK318 SOS.
Considering our training and operation budgets are being slashed, that .20 over M855 is a significant number for questionable gains.
