This may sound a bit pedantic but as gold has very similar properties to lead I'm certain you could use gold in place of lead to make bullets. I understand the point you are making but in this case gold isn't a very good example. You could also use gold for solder when making electronic repairs (in the unlikely event that a T2K character has the ability to make repairs to circuit boards or even any such equipment to repair).
