Any thoughts on how to do tracer bullets?

I've done this in the past by creating stretched teardrop shaped geometry and used that as instanced geometry. When you set them up for motion blur, set them up separately (if you're not using Scene MB). The thing is that you want them to strobe a bit, so reduce the amount of motion blur on them.

Take a look at "Pearl Harbor." There's some good examples there to use as reference.
