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.
For the want of dissolving ammo a battalion was lost.
