Are tracer rounds prohibited?

[tootall]

I read it but am a little unclear still about pistol ammuniton. Maybe its the same but i thought that pistol ammo was prohib when ap. which is what Daehanminkuk was describing with his ricochet story, or at least thats what i was gathering. You do have a good point with your penetration example on the ww2 rifle ammo. Do you recon the same effects would happen with a pistol ?

As the pistol ammo does not has enough bonk to dig into the plate, the lead just splashes sideways.
A high powered rifle round will make a good size divot in the plate,even if it does not completely penetrate it. The half-round divot causes the copper and lead to splash backwards somewhat.

Of course, it the plate has already been chewed up by rifle hits, an pistol round could likewise be splashed backwards.
