[color="lightgreen"]That is not a tracer on the sniper rifle it is a plasma trail. The sabot round for the sniper rifle travels at Mach 9. This superheats the air around it causing a plasma vapor trail. To realistically get rid of the vapor trail you would have to slow the rounds down, which would make them less effective.[/color]
Where did you get that info cause that on heck of a fast bullet that doesn't even seem possible based on the speed and standards of modern bullets i know its a Sniper with a piercing round but M9 WTF?
then his Calcs were wrong and Plasma is its own stage of elements you know Solids, liquids, gases, then plasma, and three others
