Tracer Rounds... Legal in Canada?

"They don't riccochet any more than any other bullet. Any time you see what appears to be a riccochet, it's not. It's the trace element coming off the back of the bullet.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I wonder if they are not more prone to do so when they near trace burn out due to them getting lighter.

Garand,
Is this something that is noted and is it a consideration when setting range templates?

In regards to small arms ammunition the tracer element is not a separate part of the projectile. The bullet jacket encompasses the tracer element. Excuse the bad picture, only one I currently have available.

Mind you on larger caliber projectiles such as anti armour, artillery and tank rounds through the decades tracer elements have been attached to the base of the rounds.

CanAm, the UN # and HCC are assigned not only because of the nature of the item but also consideration of the packaging that surrounds them. Both of those items are considered prior to assignment of the numbers. A good example would be oilfield perforators used by the rig pigs out here. When properly packaged from the factory they are shipped as 1.4S, yet once the packaging is opened they are considered 1.1D.

Yes, I am well aware. But I don't have the UN packing guidelines to confirm what exactly influences the granting of the particular class, and packing group.
