7.62X51MM BLANK CARTRIDGE
The M62 tracer round is a specialized rifle cartridge designed to provide visible trajectory tracking during live fire. It features a brass casing with a copper-jacketed bullet capped by a red polymer tip, which ignites upon firing to produce a bright trace. This allows shooters to visually follow the bullet’s path, aiding in target designation, fire adjustment, and nighttime operations. Reliable ignition and durable construction make the M62 tracer a standard choice for military training and combat support roles.
