Question: 1 / 50

What type of ammunition is prohibited?

Hollow point

Tracer round

The prohibition of tracer rounds in certain jurisdictions is primarily linked to safety and fire hazards. Tracer ammunition contains a pyrotechnic charge that allows the shooter to visually track the trajectory of the bullet. While this can be beneficial in military scenarios for targeting purposes, tracer rounds present significant risks in civilian contexts. They can ignite fires, especially in dry or wooded environments, making them particularly dangerous in areas prone to wildfires. As a result, many regions impose restrictions on the possession or use of tracer ammunition to mitigate such hazards and ensure safety during shooting activities. It is important for firearm owners to be aware of local laws and regulations regarding types of ammunition that may be prohibited.
