Is there a season for harvesting new bullets?
Are they plucked from trees or bushes?
To: BenLurkin
It’s not too far fetched with reality.
I used to sell wood pulp to a company that made tank/artillery/mortar casings from a nitro-cellulose infused paper “tube”.
It became part of the charge and was spent when the round went off. No waste nor hot brass to deal with inside the tank.

They could just pick up the brass or use steel case and pick up with magnets.
Wonder why they don't use aluminum cases (CCI). A lot lighter

Okay, I’ll play, so what happens when a drop of sweat or water hits the casing? Is it no longer any good. Don’t get me wrong; if something like this is doable in a practical way out on the range or practice fields I’m all for it. Practice exercises need to be as real as possible and that means doing it in the rain sometimes.
It would great if it just dissolved without growing anything so it could be used at ranges where you would not want the area to be seeded with anything. It would need to be water proof for, oh let’s say, a week once removed from the air tight package it comes in. If they could do that; a lot of ranges would be happy about it over time but only if it was practical and affordable.

here’s an idea, it should e a country’s objective not to have ammo and casings scattered on the ground..

Paper-cased bomb!
Of course Harrison Ford had to look it up in a binder, while the Cuban agent had a computer at his fingertips.

Flower bombing for real. Probably will turn out that the resulting plants are invasive species wreaking environmental havoc...
