My daughter is currently acting as an assistant armourer on spielbergs new movie on the pacific war (being filmed in oz). she's trying to establish which japanese weapons used blue tracers. I was under the impression that only the germans used blue tracers in their MG151 20mm cannons. can anyone clarify for me whether the japanese used blue tracers on their nambus etc??

I would try to get second source confirmation on that data; before I used any of it. Sorry I can't direct you to the primary address where i copied it. I don't even remember where I got it.
