I've fired several thousand tracers from an M-60.
Maybe I should have asked if it was safe first?

Should you? How much yellow/green return tracers did you get?

Gunner

Never saw any yellow.
But the green once can get real big!

They certainly can! And those suckers are fast too!


Since we were most often flying at the time, the tracers make the most
beautiful curves. (well, so did mine, but I actually like mine!)
It looks like they are going somewhere else, then they slowly curve in
toward you and pick up speed.

It takes a while to learn which ones have your name on them...

As my Dad would say: It is not the one with your name on it you
need to worry about, it is the one marked "Occupant" or "Boxholder
local" or "To whom it may concern".
