A non-toxic primer composition for use in ammunition is provided with a hygroscopic oxidizer which is protected from absorption of water vapour by a water-barrier coating. A preferred oxidizer is potassium nitrate and a preferred coating is nitrocellulose.Jean-Pierre Drolet...
The non-toxic projectiles are manufactured in a cost-effective process; yet still produces projectiles and shot pellets that can perform ballistically. This projectile composition can perform substantially as well as lead and lead alloys or better without the need to fabricate the composition from a...

Gunshot residue (GSR)Heavy metal free ammunitions (HMF)Lead-free ammunitions, non-toxic ammunitions (NTA)Scanning electron microscope (SEM)Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX)The aim of this work was to characterise three non-toxic ammunition (NTA) from the GECO and Fiocchi brands, which are...
Lead ammunitionStakeholderSustainable huntingTheory of changeIf the multiple negative health impacts associated with lead ammunition are to be mitigated, a transition to the non-toxic alternatives is needed. This paper aims to map out the pathways to such a......
Non-toxic composite projectiles, used for cartridges in hunting or shooting galleries, consist of metallic particles dispersed in solid polymer matrix, which is biodegradable and comprises hydrocarbon binder containing (i) functional ester groups attached to 1-20 C saturated or unsaturated chains; (ii...
