Tracer ammunition. Tracers Explanation: projectiles that are built with a small pyrotechnic charge in their base. Ignited by the burning powder, the pyrotechnic composition burns very brightly, making the projectile visible to the naked eye. This enables the shooter to follow the projectile trajectory to make aiming corrections |

peer agreement (net): +3tracer rounds Explanation: There are several valid possibilities. With "proyectiles", it's uncertain if they are shells or bullets.

I know Russia was around 1974. According to my sources the late years of World War 1 was the beginning the first standard tracer rounds for the US Army. There were some tracer rounds before WW 1 for the 1903 Springfield. As the US Army began buying large numbers of machine guns then large numbers of tracer rounds were needed. It would appear to be 1917. I would check this book A History of Modern U.S. Small Arms Ammunition (Hardcover) by F. W. Hackley (Author), F.W. Hackley (Author), W.H. Woodin (Author), E.L. Scranton (Author). http://en.allexperts.com/q/Military-History-669/2008/1/trace... |
