Is it legal to possess and/or discharge tracer rounds in Hawaii?

The question is this............do the "cold" tracers fall into this category too as they are not hot/incindiary...........

Whats a cold tracer???

The kind u need to shine a light on the tip b4 u shoot em.








Nah
Idk

Whats a cold tracer???

I will try and dig up a link at home.  The work computer blocks bad stuff.

Anywhooo......instead of the projectile burning hot, this thing glows.  I'm not sure what the chemical reaction is, but supposedly you can even shoot indoors.  Been trying to see how I can get my hands on some.

Nice. Never heard of it. i too, will be looking for these things.  DO you know what the penalty in Hawaii is for possessing or shooting a HOT tracer round.  I tried doing a little research, but cant come to any conclusion in writing that tracers are illegal.  Does anyone have a link to this info?

There is a brand named glow ammo for pistols its pretty much a sticker that you put on the back of the bullet that glows when the round is fired. Pretty neet idea the only down side i see is you can't really see it a far distances

THANX FOR THE LINK OLD.  THE TRACER ROUND IS NOT MADE TO PENETRATE OR PIERCE METAL THO.  ITS PURPOSE IS TO ALLOW THE SHOOTER TO SEE WHERE THE PROJECTILE IS GOING (OR AT LEAST THATS WHAT I THINKS IS FOR).  IM NO BALLISTICS EXPERT OR ANYTHING, BUT I WOULD THINK A TRACER ROUND WOULD BE LESS EFFECTIVE IN PENETRATING "ARMOR" THAN A LEGAL FMJ ROUND.

 "or any type of ammunition or any projectile component thereof coated with teflon or any other similar coating designed primarily to enhance its capability to penetrate metal or pierce protective armor; and any type of ammunition or any projectile component thereof designed or intended to explode or segment upon impact with its target."

Tracer rounds have phosphorus tips right?

Incendiary ammunition

My opinion is, tracers can be classified a form of Incendiary Round -- i.e.  THEY BURN.  Not all Incendiary Rounds have the same functionality or purpose.

Then again, I could be wrong!
