    Here's some videos showing typical ricochet issues highlighted by using tracers. Note the completely random directions for the rounds, even coming off the ground in the first video. If they weren't using tracers, they would have no idea where the rounds are going. Steels at the wrong angles are a major cause of ricochets.
