No, guns don't pollute, people do.

Answer:

There are many aspects of firearms use that have environmental considerations.

  • Primarily these result from the spent ammunition. Bird shot can cause lead poisoning in wildfowl. As a consequence steel and bismuth shot have become more popular. Some military rounds use depleted uranium which can contaminate the areas they have been used.
  • When black powder was in use there was a significant smoke and sulfur emission.
  • Some of the clay targets used in skeet shooting are "tasty" to pigs but chemiclly hazardous and the areas used for this type of target shooting must be kept free of livestck.

Yes, guns can pollute the environment through lead contamination from bullets and shotgun pellets. The manufacturing, use, and disposal of firearms can also contribute to pollution, particularly from chemical residues and materials. Additionally, improper disposal of ammunition and gun parts can further harm the environment.
