I saw this photo on the internet at the top of an article about how Israel bypassed Obongo and bought arms from the pentagon. It looks like a blue tip with black below it, and a red stripe added for the tracers.

Is this the new color code for Armor Piercing Incendiary, and Armor Piercing Incendiary Tracer for 50 cal?
