Like a shotgun cartridge, spent shot. Also no lead poisioning. Unfortunately that still worries the Green lobby. See http://www.miltoxproj.org/CM%20Fact%20Sheet.htm. With this site claiming that tungsten/nylon is carcinogenic: http://www.cpeo.org/lists/military/2005/msg00165.html

Then our favourite arms manufacturer is in on the act:

I know, lets use Indian Clubs with a wrist safety strap.
