lets face it, they are neat to fire, that's it.
Use them to zero in at long range? Every bullet fly's different and this would be a waste of ammo IMO.

That is what they did in WWII fighters so the pilots would know when they are near the end of there belts. Unfortunately the Japanese learned this also and knew when the Americans were running out and hammer them. The Black sheep squadron took their tracers out of the belts and the kill ratio increased immediately. Partly due to the pilot had to conserve ammo never knowing when he was running low and the Japanese never knew if the enemy was out.
