I believe I asked once before, but has anyone ever made an analysis of
ground water from the WW1 main battle field areas of France and Belgium?
30 million killed or injured, one 100gr .303 round per person gives you
200 tonnes of lead & copper but at 10k per person that's 2 million
tonnes in small arms alone. So plenty of lead in the ground there and
they still plough up shells etc so the ground must be well
"contaminated" yet they still farm it.............
Regards,
Chris

Pete,
Several years ago I read Anthony Swofford's book Jarhead : A Marine's
Chronicle of the Gulf War and Other Battles. He wrote that in combat an
average of 10,000 bullets were fired per enemy soldier killed. The
motto of marine snipers was "one shot one kill" (not including all the
bullets fired in training and practice).
