You actually feel yourself ducking as the tracers come winging in.

Yeah...seeing it like that enabled me to grasp for split second what one of those would do if it hit a man.

I hope I never have to see that.

There was an evening in El Salvador in 1989 where I witnessed tracers going ground to ground back and forth, air to ground, and ground to air. And to top it off mortar-launched parachute flares were illuminating parts of San Salvador. It was quite a spectacle viewed relatively safely from a quiet neighborhood.
