Abstract
A method and system are presented for producing ballistic projectiles from bio-carbon by heating the bio-carbon prior to pressing the bio-carbon into a die to form the projectile. If fired from a munitions cartridge to land on the ground or in water, the bio-carbon projectile can break down and decompose to provide environmental benefits to the land or water.
