Are there really .308 (7.62 NATO) tracer rounds? I thought that round was basically only for small-arms rifles, and I wouldn't expect anything less than a full machine gun to use tracers? So we employ machine guns with something smaller than .50?
Ooh.. I just read: the 5.56 SAW has optional tracer ammo... I wonder if that was what got him. That fires essentially the same round the M16 uses.
