What’s the problem with replacing lead? It’s a damned dangerous thing; I can tell you from first hand experience. How hard could it be to find some kind of inert substitute that won’t cost a bundle?
This is a joke, right?
Got alchemy? lol
In air, like aluminum, it ‘rapidly’ oxidizes, to form an inert protective surface coating, which is why lead looks grey, unless a fresh surface is exposed, showing the bright silver-metallic color of pure lead. That was why “red lead’ and ‘grey lead’ coatings were routinely used on bridges & other structures to prevent corrosion.
MN (IIRC, though it may have been MI) recently did comprehensive tests for lead contamination of hunters’ deer carcases, and found any contamination in edible (as opposed to bloodshot) meat to be negligible, and well within government food standards...the enviroes have already lost that bet.
How was it ‘a damned dangerous thing’ for you? were you drinking lead compounds in solution, or breathing fumes from boiling lead? Sprinkling flakes of it on your cereal, mistaking it for colloidal silver?
Please tell us. Or, as another poster asked, was this sarcasm?
WOW. I am in awe of such towering ignorance. Have you ever had high school chemistry? Do you know what the periodic table is? As an exercise look up all of those elements with a specific gravity greater than or equal to 11.35, and then see how available they are, how much they cost and how easy/difficult it is to machine them.
You sound like you want people to use bullets made from air.
