If you look at gunnery film from the period you will see what smoke he means.
I am not sure if it is an artifact of slow motion..but they do seem to smoke.
But your correct, I have fired 1000s of rounds(7.62) from the same browning used in the Hurricane, and the tracers leave no smoke that you could see in operation.

Oleg, fantastic, thanks.
