This entity is not in the FGD by default.
It should not be put directly in a map because it can only be configured through code.

tracerbullet is a point entity available in Black Mesa Black Mesa. This is crossbow bolt that appears when the player shoots from crossbow. Differs from grenade_bolt in that it doesn't have the ability to ricochet, no sparks, there are also bug with player's camera (bolts literally appears in the center of the player's camera, causing them to clip through it).
