With the huge push for "Green" products and practices, the subject of "Green Ammo" has come up and I have no personal experience with it. I am told there is a potential federal mandate of some sort in the works to go to this type of ammo, but again I don't have any details of what that is directed toward.
My job involves developing guaranteed energy savings projects and one we are working on now happens to include a sheriff's indoor shooting range. While discussing ventilation requirements we decided to try to find more information about green ammo and if we could lower the required air changes for the range by limiting them to only the use of green ammo. My concerns of course lean toward the shooting side of things such as accuracy and performance in the weapons and also how it compare to duty ammo. Some information I have found indicates that the cost should be less than 15% more than standard ammunition, but those figures are not detailed as to the type of standard ammunition that was used to compare.
What do any of you more educated people know about this stuff?
