This movie demonstrates the difference between lead and non-toxic powder metalurgic ammunition. After striking the steel plate the lead round fragments into large jagged pieces which still carry considerable kenetic energy. The non-toxic round disintegrates into its component powders. The much smaller masses carry less potential to inflict damage. The kenetic energy of the round is more evenly distributed and quickly diffuses lessening the chance of damage.
