tracer bullet
A tracer bullet is a type of ammunition for firearms that contains a pyrotechnic charge in its base, which gets ignited upon firing. The charge leaves a visible trace as the bullet travels towards its target, enabling the shooter to see the projectile's trajectory, confirmation of hits, and making necessary adjustments - for instance in long-distance shots. They are generally used in machine guns but can also be used in other firearms. They are primarily used during nighttime shootings or other situations with low visibility.
