The 12.7x99 LF Tracer SX was designed and engineered for military users. It is fully compatible with heavy machine guns. Accordingly, the cartridge can be used for mission scenarios and in training. The bullet consists of two components, namely the steel core and the pyrotechnic charge inserted in the tail. It has a dark tracer that conceals the shooter’s position. The visible tracer begins at a range of 0 m to 200 m and illuminates up to a distance of at least 1,500 m.
