Tracer

Someone (Brendan) said all tracer was the same colour.... I dunno about that.
Though I can't impute your logic (Tracers, AFAIK, use phosphorus, and all
phosphorus should be about the same shade of
yellowy-whitey-orange), I have seen SFX on TV shows for tracer that were
green... and they weren't CGI. Some sort of projectile that looked like a
tracer, but with a greenish tinge. I'm actually sure phosphorus isn't the only
chemical that will react with air so I presume other options would be
possible.... I just don't imagine common. It'd depend on what you had at hand
I'd guess.

I'm not even going to try to bring this OT by asking what colour tracer is in
2183. That'd be too feeble. I'll just accept this as a brief OT diversion and
return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

What colour are tracer in 2183? Any colour you want.

Just think of the indoor fireworks, according to Wired magazine, out soon!
:-\

In the 60's and 70's the Chicom tracer was indeed Green.

In fact differently manufactured tracer is of different colors. I've seen
Green, Red and Yellow/white....
