Tungsten alloy shotgun bullet is small. Generally, there are some spherical projectiles. At that time, from the perspective of density and hardness, lead was considered a suitable material for shotgun bullet. However, shotguns are used for hunting animals. If toxic lead bullets are used, it seems that the hunted prey is not so “safe” for eating. While tungsten alloy is non-toxic, environmentally friendly and pollution-free, so it is developed to replace traditional heavy metal lead as the projectile material.

Besides, tungsten alloy shotgun bullet has higher density and hardness than traditional lead bullet, making it more suitable for hunting animals. Earlier, an American metal company had developed a shotgun bullet composed of 50%W-35%Ni-15%Fe as a substitute for lead bullet. The bullet weighed 12g.
What should be noted is that firearms can be legally held even in some countries. While in China, firearms are usually controlled products, and private possession is an illegal act without the permission of public security authorities.
