^ I did some research.
Not all incendiary bullets are armor-piercing, and not all armor-piercing bullets are incendiary, but one can buy custom armor-piercing bullets with incendiary noses, if I understand correctly. (edited/corrected)
Haig, the dealer who sold the ammo to Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock, told the FBI that he only sold Paddock tracer bullets (pyrotechnic composition burns very brightly, making the projectile trajectory visible to the naked eye during daylight, and very bright during nighttime firing).
Haig said Paddock told him he was gonna light up the sky for some friends in the desert and there is no way he could have known otherwise.
But, LE found two unfired armor-piercing bullets with Haig's fingerprints and his workshop's tool marks on them when they searched Paddock's hotel room. Ooops.
