I mean tracers...yeah....sometimes they light sometimes they do but APIT....come on....

the guy was using a 50 calier bolt rifle that he bought at the local Sportmans warehouse in Salem, Oregon.

Kinda sad but in the end, I am gradually finding out that gunowners are our worst enemy
APIT is not illegal in most free states. States with more restrictive laws such as California do restrict use/ownership of tracer/Incendiary/IT/APIT ammo. Coincidentally, all of these ammo types are fun to shoot under the right circumstances.

**ETA: there are some HE rounds out there such as the 50BMG Raufoss that I believe are restricted (not sure if Raufoss actually has enough HE to be classified a DD or not), but are periodically found on the secondary market in spite of this.****

Good times,
