Tracer ammunition is a type of ammunition that has a pyrotechnic composition in its base which ignites upon firing, producing a visible light trail as the bullet travels through the air. This allows shooters to see the trajectory of the bullet, making it easier to adjust aim and improve accuracy in low-light conditions or to observe the bullet's flight in combat scenarios. Tracer rounds are commonly used in military applications, and they can be particularly useful for various purposes, including targeting, training, and signaling.
