New STREAK Ammo with Glowing Phosphorescent-Base Bullets
Wouldn’t it be cool if you could see a streak of light following your bullets into the target — like a tracer round, but without the fire risk. Now this is a possible with the new STREAK line of “visual ammunition”. STREAK ammo is something completely new — it is NOT a conventional tracer. Instead, it employs a glowing bullet base to create an “illuminated, non-incendiary projectile”. These rounds are fun to shoot, particularly in indoor ranges (where most handgun shooting is done).
STREAK’s patented formulation incorporates a non-flammable phosphor material that utilizes the light emitted during discharging of the round to make STREAK glow. The manufacturer states: “STREAK is not on fire and does not generate heat, therefor making STREAK safe for indoor range use where the illumination is best seen.”

STREAK Ammo Popular with Shooters
“STREAK adds a whole new dynamic to target shooting,” said Bren Brown, of the Frontier Justice Range in Kansas City. “Our clients loved it so much that we have decided to do a weekly STREAK Shooting night at our ranges.”
STREAK ball ammunition is currently available in 9mm Luger, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP in both red and yellow/green illumination colors. In the near future it will be offered for other pistol and rifle calibers, and with hollowpoint bullet types.
Optimal Conditions for STREAK Ammo Sessions
STREAK ammunition is intended for use in areas free of natural sunlight when the human eye pupil is most open. Dusk-till-dawn and indoor lighting permits the pupil to open enough to see STREAK ammunition. Contrast is what permits you to see a glowing object moving at the speed of a bullet. The darker the backdrop and target the better you’ll see STREAK.
This would liven up any shooting experience. If they made Berger target bullets like this I would use them immediately.
