Phosphorescent backed bullets leave glowing laser trail... Awesome.

Pretty cool video from The Late Boy Scout. These rounds can only be seen from behind (by you)... and aren't incendiary.

*pew pew pew pew*

Like Stormtrooper blaster rifles.

Holy crap that’s awesome and ingenious! Well that would solve one of Murphy’s laws of combat; tracers work both ways haha

I wonder how much is left in the barrel and how cleaning would be changed?

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

That is pretty cool.

 

[HodgeStyle]

That is awesome. I imagine he does a lot of barrel cleaning with them rounds for sure.

Since the phosphor coating material on the base of the bullet uses the light from the gunpowder burning to make it glow and does not burn or come in contact with the barrel, I wouldn't expect it to require any extra cleaning at all.

Years ago I fired a few boxes of 9mm Hornady Vector tracers which do use a material that burns and I don't recall any extra cleaning for those.

Is there a fire danger with these?

Streak Visual Ammunition - Ammo Inc.

"Unlike conventional tracers, STREAK rounds are NOT an incendiary, they don`t use burning metals to generate light. Replacing fire-hazard burning metals is a non-flammable phosphor material that utilizes the light emitted during the discharging of the round to make STREAK glow. STREAK does NOT generate heat, making STREAK rounds safe to use in environments where traditional tracers are prohibited and can be a serious fire hazard.

The glowing material used is applied only to the aft end of the projectile, making it only visible to the shooter and those within a 30-degree viewing window. Military and law enforcement appreciate that unlike conventional tracers STREAK`s glow is not visible to the target."

Not to be a jerk, but if you would have followed the link above your post (Thanks gmcttr), you would have an answer to your question.

I didnt see a link above my post. Im using my phone at the moment. It doesnt show links in the posts.

 

[HodgeStyle]

OOPS, didn't see that at the top already posted. When I did a search for non-incendiary tracers it started at post number 10 and I didn't pay attention

Fun idea but at about 90cents per round for 9mm that’s some expensive plinking.

That is still cheaper than military 9mm tracer, and in quantity, they are only about 60 cents a round. I ordered ten boxes to try out.

I'd love to see this stuff in .357 or .44mag.

Guess I'll just have to wait until it catches on and they can expand their offerings.
