See: www.ammo-oracle.com/body.htm#tracersbad
I don't know from personal experience, but I'd say moderation is always a good policy. I'll leave it to you to figure out if by "moderation" I'm talking about when using tracers or when doing anyting else in life... |

I've fired a few tracer rounds before they CAN cause fires so it's best to shoot into dirt, or only use them when its really wet out (like after a rainstorm). I usually loaded them every fifth round, but I always cleaned the gun (gas tube and all) right away after use because I've heard shooting a tracer round is similar to shooting corrosive primered ammunition. They make a fun light show at dusk but they are too expensive to just "play" with. For practical purposes I've got an infantry weapons and tactics book that suggested loading a single tracer 4th from the bottom of the mag as a signal that you are almost out of ammo (so you don't have to focus on counting your shots in a fire fight).

There's a guy out of Tx that sells them on Gunbroker.com. All the transactions I've had with him have been good. As said above, they're not cheap. I've also bought regular tracer rounds from CheaperThanDirt.com, but they aren't nearly as impressive as those of of Gunbroker.

Ammoman used to have a good deal on a combo pack. It consisted of 1000k XM193 and 100 M196 tracers. The tracers came out to be .40 each when figured seperatly. Good old days.

Jesus Christ. WTF happened there? Looks like I should consider an HBAR next time. The plastic pistol grip held up better than that barrel did. |
