Will Tracers Burn Inside You? TEST

Published on November 20, 2023
Duration: 1:01

This test investigates whether .22 LR tracer rounds continue to burn after impact, using ballistic gelatin as a human analog. The experiment confirms that tracer rounds ignite and remain burning inside the gel, creating significant internal damage. The findings suggest that tracers would cause severe burns and internal injury if they impacted a human.

Quick Summary

This test confirms that .22 LR tracer rounds continue to burn after impacting ballistic gelatin, creating internal cavities. The findings suggest that tracers would likely continue burning inside a human body, causing severe thermal damage beyond the initial impact wound.
