Âé¶¹Éç Defence Correspondent Caroline Wyatt looks at the journey of a UK-built bullet from factory to frontline. Tracing the bullet from its beginnings at the Radway Green factory in Cheshire to the small arms incinerator in Camp Bastion in Afghanistan where unused bullets go to die. Speaking to factory workers, ammunition technical officers, and soldiers, Caroline hears directly from the people whose lives and livelihoods depend on these small metal objects.
