    I know that wood bullets have been used in the past in the Pentagon by Security and the US Marshalls office so that if a bullet was fired in the Pentagon it would not harm the impossible to replace marble. (Italian marble quarry was closed after construction completed)

    Wood bullets have also been used by the US Marshalls office before there were Sky Marshalls on domestic and international flights for fear of rapid decompression explosion caused by a real bullet. (before proven false)

    (Information given to me by a retired US Marshall)
    I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.

    Sure, that's what they want you to think. The truth is they don't want vampires in the Pentagon, on airplanes, or anywhere else, except of course for the IRS.

    Rumor is they don't cycle well without the blank firing adapter that shreds them upon exiting the barrel

    Throwing one per mag in at random would be great training for misfires.

    You can't shoot too many of these rounds through any firearm without getting a serious case of wood fouling inside the barrel.

    No, its true; I've seen it. You can look it up.

    I use it for vampires. It also works on zombies but you have to hit them in the woody.
