9 mm Tracers

I'm a sucker for different stuff. Ran into some 9 mm tracers at the gun show SATurdat. Got only a hundred. Now I'm wondering why. They are 85 grain Jacketed round nose. THe base has some exposed grey material I guess tracer burnable. The point of impact will be far different than standard weight bullets I'M wondering what purpose they could serve except to slip one on my buddy at the range when he's not expecting it

(As for myself, I'll pass.)
For civilian use, they are lots of fun to bounce around in a gravel pit.
Early in WW2, some fighter pilots also used solid-linked tracers to indicate when their ammunition had reached the point of exhaustion. Which was also a signal to the enemy to storm at the pilot with Zeros or BF109's, LOL.
Or if I was about to be captured.
