The tracer bullet example is a bit scary. One disadvantage of tracer bullets
is that they tend to give away your position (since enemies can see the
tracers as well as you can, and can visually trace them back to their
source). So now not only are you giving away your position, but you're doing
it just before you're going to have to reload!
