This is something I never knew. In WW II, the Army Air Force eliminated using tracer ammo in its Browning .50 machine guns as they distorted the vision of the gunners. From childhood on, I always heard "One tracer in every five rounds." Does anyone know if the "No Tracers" policy still exists in our air combat usage?? An interesting video.
