Hopefully no one will be shooting this stuff up into the air

Up isn't as likely to be deadly as across is, but both are equally stupid ideas.

 

[Hump66]

not any dirtier than any other, and it can't do anything a fmj doesn't already do. But this is vintage 90's military tracer, good stuff.
but I doubt any indoor range is gonna let you shoot it.

Yes it can. The phosphorus/magnesium in the back can come out of the bullet and burn inside your barrel, not likely but can happen. FMJ doesn't do that.

Just remember you can and will be held responsible when you set the countryside on fire.

Ammo was on my doorstep today. Not to bad of turnaround....one day.

guess this could happen, never heard of it, but guess it could.

Buy the ammo or don't. it is fairly priced and ships fast. it is used to know where your rounds are striking in combat/training. At .30 rd it can sit in the the surplus pile and be just fine. shoot a few for fun, they are pretty cool.

Actually this looks to be a GREAT price on this stuff.

I checked Sportsman's Guide and they have something similar. Same round count, but looks to be in boxes instead of bandos, and it is over $400 bucks!!

I cracked my can open last night, beautiful sight to see red tips in stripper clips....I miss the army days and shooting.
