This isn't a discussion of lead vs some stupid-ass strawman you all imagine. This is about lead vs literally anything possible.

If you think copper or other heavy-ish metal bullets could never compete with lead, even on spread and delivered damage, then you are just stupid.

What strawman did I present? Go ahead, find one.

That's literally the opposite of what I have said in this thread. I've repeatedly said copper is just as effective with the only downside being that it is more expensive. Why don't you calm down and actually read what was said instead of reacting defensively.

rofl if you continue to fail to understand how lead isn't the only viable option, you're only proving how pathetic and ignorant YOU care to be on the topic. Pathetic. Genuinely, your view is ignorance manifest.

You're defending using literal biotoxins as projectiles. You are a vile piece of shit who would readily violate many treaties of the past. You are a fucking loser who fails to understand the problems of certain technological advancement. You are a braindead stone sitting in the stream of the past.

Again, that's literally the opposite of what I have said in this thread. Try reading instead of knee jerk reacting. The ad hominem attacks aren't helping you.
