Norway started to use eco-friendly (lead-free) ammo and went ahead even when presented the dangers. Now they have admitted the disaster and are hopefully going back to the old-fashion ammo.
Memo to army: Don't listen to eco-leftists.
From what I’ve gathered from the article, the ammo is causing something called “metal fever” in the troops. I found this on Wiki:

Does anyone know what they used as a replacement?
LOL. Hope the ill soldiers fully recover.
Sure would be nice to know.
?????????? Are they going back to muzzle loaders? Oh -- I get it...just another dumbass, know-nothing reporting trying to sound like he knows something about firearms.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
I imagine that's going to be effective but really, really expensive. I know that commercial solid copper hunting bullets, such as the Barnes X-Bullet, are more than twice as expensive as traditional copper-clad lead bullets.
Who was the Georgia Governor who told the world that John Kerry wanted the military to use “SPIT BALLS”?
