Here is an AC-130 firing its big-ass 105mm howitzer with what appears to be a tracer round.
Here is an AC-130 firing at night...with a couple other guns.
This one is from Afghanistan. This is what it looks like at night when an AC-130 orbits a target...
Here's one from Saigon. Puff the Magic Dragon was breathing heavy that night...
Not too sure where this one comes from but you can see the flares being dropped for spotting:
Yes, those are tracers over those beautiful old Corsairs at Okinawa. Some people just don't realize how "hot" the fighting was during WWII...
A tracer from an M-16. Notice the flash from the action as it is just beginning its cycle
And here's what it looks like without the nightscope...
Anybody want to guess where the sniper is....was?
A tracer from a slightly bigger gun. A tank.
You gotta' love ordinance testing...lucky bastards.

I imagine getting shot at from an AC-130 must be pretty much the scariest thing imaginable.
Imagine at night out of nowhere, can't see it, can't hear it, rounds start hitting the people around you.
From small arms fire, at least you can take cover.
