    Nearly all of these types of ammunition are safe to fire in modern firearms. Keep in mind that the amount of incendiary material which can be placed into a 9mm projectile is minimal and at the prices you are being charged (about $2 per shot) I don't see much to recommend these rounds.

    Even more to the point, the chemicals in these loads will tear HE!! out of your firearm. Be sure to clean extraordinarily carefully with GI bore cleaner or the equivalent if you do shoot this in a good firearm. Also be advised that firing this ammo (and some cases posessing it) is illegal in many parts of the land . . . not to mention the fire hazard down range!

    Icon, very true for tracer, however incendiaries only burn upon impact...

    While I was in the Army, my unit fired incendiary ammo on several occasions. Unless it was pouring rain, the rounds started brush fires EVERYWHERE. I never realized how far high power rounds could richochet.

    Even if your locality doesn't have a specific prohibition against this type ammo, all of them DO have laws against arson & attempted arson. Don't expect your local police & judges to be sympathetic.

    [B)] Whatever you do don't even think of using those as defensive rounds. Even if the subject deserved the shooting his lawyers ( or those of his surviving family members ) would have a field day in civil court over that regardless of the cause or justification of the shooting.

    LOL, that would be great in a .32 or .25 or similar sized mouse gun. They may not knock 'em down, but they sure would keep them occupied.

    Like you said, though, there would be no escaping the civil and criminal charges if you ever used something like that for self defense.

    tapwater, it may have been the mfg of the ammo itself, but from sad experience I can tell you that this carnival ammo (at least my view of it is that it attracts suckers) can in fact cause serious corrosion problems in a firearm. I lost a good one because I shot a few rounds of this stuff to entertain my son several years ago (Y, I've walked the "sucker" path myself! [:D]).

    The "Dragon's Breath" shotgun ammo comes to mind....You're right Icon, novelty ammo is just that....If you want fireworks, buy fireworks...

    They call em incendiary for a reason. If you live in dry territory, have the fire department on stand buy. Try em out some turtles at a lake, see if they'll ignite under water.

    Make sure the incendiaries are legal for your possession/use in your state. In many jurisdictions, tracers/incendiaries are classified as a Destructive Device and are require special licenses/permits and are subject to restricted use and potential prohibition in the field.

    Section 179.11 of Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations
    CA Code 12301 thru 12312, Ch 2.5

    In addition, if you cause a fire, and they trace it back to you, you will probably be found liable for the cost of the fire damage and the cost of fighting the fire.
