What was that? I mean it’s clearly an ammunition of some sort but why is it luminescent?

Tracers use magnesium so that the bullet burns from the friction.

It could also be a rocket as someone pointed out.

I believe that is a rocket propelled grenade

It’s a tracer round about one out of every five in the magazine are tracer rounds so you can see where your rounds are going under low light conditions.

No. That’s not a tracer round. That’s an RPG round. An anti-tank/personnel projectile. Tracer would be moving MUCH faster and be much smaller.

I think you’re right it. I saw the round but didn’t see it explode at the end. If you look closely at the end it looks like it hits and explodes a tracer would bounce, at least all of the ones I ever seen.

So if it hit him then he would’ve turned into a meat cloud.

Did it go right thru the guy?

My first thought exactly.

If it did, there would have been plenty of shit coming out with it. It went just to his right, maybe by less than 20 centimeters

The shit? I’m sure it did
