Never tried any of that but I do have a word of caution. Be careful where you use it. As a Soldier for 26 years we set many a field and woods on fire. Have a good backstop. I have watched it hit and bounce/ricochet all over the place.

Most shooters don't know tracers can start fires. I don't recommend firing them there is a fire striction.

I’ve tried it and couldn’t see a thing. They’re non-incendiary which shouldn’t be a problem with fire…….and probably why I couldn’t see them.

They work the best in full auto weapons. They are not hard to see from a M2 50 cal. the belts are loaded with every 5th. round being a tracer. When fired you will see a line where the bullets are going, this is the way we aimed them. Kind of like and etch a sketch.

Agreed, I have walked in many a round on target watching tracers from a machine gun. At night it’s a beautiful sight as long as you are not receiving the fire.
