Tracers that show up from time to time aren't tracer projectiles that are used to actually do a trace on purpose. Traces can show up randomly.

Am I missing something here? What is the point of random tracers in all weapons? It seems like there should be no tracers at all unless the player decides to use tracer ammo in his loadout.
@keihaswarrior:
As Beppo said, that aren´t traced projectiles, IRL sometimes it happens, that a projectile is illuminating, but those "tracers" don´t look as real tracer ammunition. I saw a guy fireing and sometimes you saw tracers, but it was not tracer ammo. Sometimes bullets ricochet from things and start only then to "glow". It is all physics.

Unless my bullet is being shot from space and re-entering earth's atmosphere at catastrophic velocities, I dont think i should see a glow. And if i do see a glow, then i would assume the bullet has reached a very high temperature and thus lost some of its physical structure, and it would not hit its destined target. Thus, why do we really have so many unwanted tracers, in terms of gameplay?

the projectile isn't illuminating like a flashlight or meteor... it is the air that shows its flight path...
a real tracer bullet looks waaay different...

Ok, but that still doesn't really answer our question... Was this coded as an intended feature? Is it realistic? (doesn't seem so) and why was it put in? (if it was intentional).Beppo said:

It was put in cause our weapon gurus said to add these tracers. They even gave the chance factor for them to show up.
hhmm.... Could someone who knows about guns (a self proclaimed gun guru) tell me what is going on here? If they aren't tracer rounds, and the bullets are not heating up on rentry to the atmosphereBeppo said:
.... Then what is causing this to happen IRL? Do the bullets cause the air to condense similar to the contrail of a jet? What's the real life cause of this, I am just curious.

LOL!!
Cheerfully stolen from FM 23-10:
As it points out, the best position to see the trace is from the rear, in line with the barrel's axis.

Tracers are only useful for machine guns : m249 and Browning .50 MG... this would help aiming. Otherwise the fact they can give out your position, they are more penalizing than anything else.
Every time I find myself wishing that I just play the game and realize that they're there.Logan6 said:

This is caused when yurch breaks into the armory, leaving crouton crumbs inside the barrels of all the weapons.
Frankly, I have no freakin' clue as to why this happens, but it does happen. Seen it. Yeah, it's wierd, and stuff.
It's WHU-PAH matrix like. And Yurch's thread has reached a brand new level in... *cough* realism attainment.
With the recent news of INF:Source being canceled, the INF community now has to make the best of 2.9
I know that yurch has been coding away in his cave with HL2 and he's probably come up with some very cool ideas... some of which might work in 2.9 It would be a shame if the community never saw them in INF.
Therefore, I wanted to resurrect this thread and remind yurch of the community support he has (and can still receive in some degree) if he chooses to code RAv4.
I am asking, pleading, begging yurch to join forces with the IMT and code RAv4.
'With our powers combined...' We could definately make a RAv4 a success. Especially if the new IMT weapons were coded only for RAv4 it would help avoid a massive community split that many will cite as a reason not to do it...

For what, 2.9?keihaswarrior said:
Swapping out RAv3's periodic functions for an impulse system (that I used in HL2thing) will improve RAv3 greatly.
Am I really that much of a one-trick pony?
