Especially when it's travelling as a hollow point at high velocity
Otherwise, there's plenty of lead pipes still in use. It's inert unless you do something dumb like melt gallons of it and stand over it wafting the fumes. Plenty if fishing tackle still made from...lead
Just like asbestos. There's nothing wrong with it unless you start cutting or wailing on it with something, creating fine dust that can get permanently stuck in your lungs. There's millions of houses that still have asbestos siding...
People act like these things are freakin anthrax and shit. It's ridiculous.
When I was in the Navy as a brown shirt on carriers our dining hall was underneath the forward catapults. As the aircraft were launched using half a ton of superheated steam we had the steam tubes above our heads well lagged with asbestos.
The whole ship shuddered with each launch so minute flakes of asbestos drifted down into our food and drink, the dangers of asbestos were not known about in those days. We were more concerned about stopping the cockroaches swimming around in our coffee and corn flakes.
Lead is very dangerous,it's very well documnted for a very long time.
Uh yeah...
