RE: Tracer Fun
When we shot them in the army, we would shoot for awhile and then go spend the rest of the day fighting fires. Depending where you live, shooting tracers can be damned irresponsible. There will be hell to pay if one starts a major fire both legally and with the anti-gunners. I agree they are neat but the ones I've got, I don't shoot for the above reasons.

Yep, I limit myself to shooting tracers in the winter time when there is adequete snow cover, or after a fresh rain in the spring when everything is green. No need to start any fires.

RE: Tracer Fun
they are normal rounds changed Little
most have some magnesium or similar chemical on the tip that burns at high temps around 2200 i think thatput offbright light.
The military uses them for sighting when shooting in low light conditions.
some people say there also armor piercing and in some state illegal.
in most places there illegal for hunting also and beside fun to shoot there is little to no reason for a normal person to have them.
But they sure are fun
you can buy them on gunbroker for like a dollar or so around
