Green tip LC isn't tracer, it's 62 gr. FMJ.

Tracers have an orange tip.

Don't you guys know anything? Those are special GTT (Green tipped tracers). Not visible with the naked eye. You can only see them wearing NOD's. Was he an ex Special Ops guy also selling jerky?

I had a guy try to convince me once that the paint on the tip burned in flight and that's how a tracer worked.  Whatever color of the paint on the tip, the color that the bullet would light up when shot.

the bullet itself is the SS109, 62 grainer, with the "penetrator" core...
THIS IS NOT AP NOR TRACER. Its ball ammo (M855) currently issued to our troops.
