Tracer ammunition are bullets that have a magnesium spot on the tail end of the bullet. This burns, usually red, and allows you to see exactly where the bullet is going. It's usually employed with belt-fed machine guns and is very effective at night. Typically, every fifth round in belted ammo is a tracer.
