Are infrared tracers possible to create?

Sure as long as you can find something that will burn only in the infra-red spectrum and will not snuff out at higher velocities.

I'm not aware of any material, but anything is possible.

Just thought it'd give you a slight tactical advantage till the other team figures it out.

Best tracer scene in a movie I've seen, is in The Story of Benjamin Button. It was awesome.

I can check with Greg Satre of Denver bullets. He has .45 "stoplight" tracer that burns red/yellow/green.

Do you have IR goggles that you can test and make sure they work though? I was just thinking about how selling "infrared" tracers would be the sweetest scam on Mallninjas ever.

If you're asking if I have nightvision equipment, yes. The rounds in question are designated the M62 IR/Dim tracer. They're not too hard to find. Like I said I have a few rounds in my collection that were given to me as a novelty, not to fire.

I have linked 7.62 that I have fired with my PVS-14 on that has an IR tracer instead of regular tracer. I still have several belts left of the stuff.
