You may have seen this before but it is the 1st time I've run into the video.
I like the tracer rounds that they use in demonstrating round travel and impact.

It sure is something that folk have digitalized things like this. As sharp as the first printings.
The tracers are cool. We used to have a lot of various hand-gun tracers in every year's ammunition draw. The .45 and 9mm were for particular sub-caliber training devices. I think the .45 in my time was for the LAW and one of the recoil-less rifles.
The Vietnam guys specifically favored .45 tracer as an effective alternative to emergency flares as a 1911 round would almost always clear triple-canopy. We liked them later as you could call on USMC/Navy pilots with one or two where smoke or standard flares night be too 'eventful'. Oddly, the USAF was decidedly NOT accommodating to this. The trajectory of a .45 tracer was a very good thing to know though they'd usually (always?) burn out before the end.
At the end - I thought the shooting village was neat to see.
Thanks for posting.
