Those are tracers and will chew your barrel up. One bullet per mag not such a big deal but be careful. Can't shoot them indoors and they will set fires if you aren't very careful outdoors.

How will tracers burn up the barrel? They don't ignite until outside of the muzzle? I'm I missing something?

They will start fires, that's a fact!

[Smith]

I said chew, I don't know for sure about burn. From what I've read they have a steel jacket instead of a copper jacket and that is much harder on the barrel. Also while they will only "light" after leaving the barrel they are burning through the first layer and that leaves extra residue in the barrel and gas system. Phosphorous and magnesium burn extremely hot and that is what makes these things light up.

 

Not saying don't get them, just be aware that there are virtually no places that will let you shoot them and if you are on private property you better have a way of putting out fires. I don't think they will damage your gun per-se but they definitely aren't a good for it.
