I'd be happy if the world just stopped producing ammo completely, but as long as that's not an option, I prefer the stuff that's causing less harm as a side-effect in addition to the harm it's causing anyhow.

Furthermore, not every bullet will kill someone or something. According to this site around 16 billion bullets are produced annually which seems to be a rather low estimate to me. Why spread 16 billion pieces of harmful substances a year across the globe if there's an alternative?
