Must be part of some weird “keep them guessing” strategy.
I had to chuckle about the line where they said using lead ammo was dangerous to humans. Oh really? Since that has been the type of ammo used pretty much since firearms were invented, how come were just finding about about the danger now?
While eating your pheasant, you might bite down on a shotgun pellet and break a tooth.

I guess they were too absorbed still fretting about the dangers of those iron cannon-balls to worry about lead. Anyway, they are more scared of the full-metal-jacket than the lead inside.
