Service ammunition is divided into ball cartridge and special-purpose cartridges.

Special ammunition, depending upon its construction, is designed for target identification and correction of fire, ignition of fuel and highly flammable objects, and for destroying lightly armoured targets.
Tracer cartridges are used for target indication, fire adjustment, signal purposes and destroying personnel. And destroying personnel. Personnel.
Tracer bullets can ignite, can ignite.
The path of the bullet is indicated by a red flame.
AP incendiary cartridges are used for destroying fuel, gasoline, and for destroying targets protected by thin armour plate.
The standard cartridge used by the AK-47 is the M43.
