Isn't this the part where someone, like.....a college professor tells you to go google it yourself?

Military ammunition is color coded, blue is for target practice, white for incendiary.

Green tip has some steel components, so with less lead , perhaps you could say it was more environmentally friendly.

    We used to call this stuff " AP" but apparently this is out of fashion.

These are the
colors used to indicate primary use of ammunition items:
· Yellow. High-explosive.
· Brown. Low-explosive.
· Gray. Chemical.
· Light-green. Smoke.
· Light-red. Incendiary.
· White. Illuminating-pyrotechnic.
· Black. Armor-defeating.
· Aluminum (silver). Countermeasure.
· Blue. Practice.
The most commonly used color, olive drab, is not even listed, because it has no significance. Olive drab
is used only for camouflage.

Armor-Piercing. The armor-piercing round is used against personnel, unarmored targets, and light armored
targets. The bullet is a metal jacket with a hardened steel core. The remaining space is usually filled with lead.

  Just when I think you are joking...

For general issue, the U.S. Army adopted the M855A1 round in 2010 to replace the M855. The primary reason was pressure to use non-lead bullets. The lead slug is replaced by a copper alloy slug in a reverse-drawn jacket, with a hardened steel penetrator extending beyond the jacket, reducing lead contamination to the environment. The M855A1 offers several improvements other than being lead-free. It is slightly more accurate, has better consistency of effect in regards to wounding ability, and has an increased penetrating ....

Cartridge, Caliber 5.56 mm, Ball, M855 (United States): 5.56×45mm 62-grain FN SS109-equivalent ball cartridge with a steel penetrator tip over a lead core in a partial copper jacket. [green tip]
Cartridge, Caliber 5.56 mm, Ball, M855 Lead Free (United States): 62-grain bullet with a steel penetrator tip over a tungsten-composite core in a partial copper jacket. Primarily used during training in countries with strict lead disposal laws. [green tip][66]

  Here is what we will do.
   First we will make a mostly steel bullet and require it wherever lead should not be introduced into the environment(everywhere).
    Next we forbid the use of steel containing ammunition , wherever it might be used to shoot policemen, (everywhere).

    This is a lovely catch 22 only half built.

Rep. Israel and his allies are likewise blatantly lying when they claim that M855 is “commonly referred to” as a “cop killer” round. M855 has never been linked to even one instance of a police officer being shot through his protective vest with an AR-15 pistol in the history of the United States.

   Here we are , proposing a bill that would make any round that is legal to hunt deer with, illegal to buy.

    Bullets with insufficient power to kill a deer cleanly is already illegal to hunt deer with.

   Representative Israel is proposing to make anything that is energetic enough to pierce the lightest grade of body armor illegal to buy.
    This is a 100% overlap.

   Clever Rep Israel.
