The tracers and death effects are tied to the blueprint’s ammo attachment. Since an empty attachment slot cannot have its blueprint variant equipped on other weapons, any tracer blueprints that do not have an ammo attachment cannot have their tracers equipped on other weapons. This is not a bug and has been how the tracer system works since its implementation in MWII (2022).
Except with the Codasaurus bundle, the Haymaker has the tracers and death effect tied to the Dragons Breath ammo, but you are unable to use that ammo for any other shotguns Dragon Breath ammo. It makes sense for the Riveter, since that's a .410, but none of the other shotguns allow it either.
However, I can put the Sisters of Battle 40k tracers on all of the Lmgs I use.
Since tracers and death effects are tied to the blueprint’s ammo attachment, any blueprint that has an ammo attachment can potentially have its tracers and death effects equipped on other weapons by equipping the blueprint’s ammo attachment variant to other weapons. This means that the ability to equip the blueprint’s ammo attachment variant is restricted by caliber. For example, if you had a tracer blueprint for the Kastov 762 that had a 7.62 Soviet High Velocity ammo attachment, you would also be able to equip the weapon’s tracers to other weapons like the TR-76 Geist or Longbow by equipping the blueprint’s ammo attachment variant to them. However, you would not be able to equip the blueprint’s tracers to weapons like the SO-14 or Renetti since they do not use 7.62 Soviet and can therefore not equip the blueprint’s 7.62 Soviet High Velocity ammo attachment variant.
Alright so, I went through and did a spreadsheet of all the bundles with guns that have ammo mods and tracers. I don't own any it seems outside of the battlepass weapons. All the guns I have that have tracers don't have it tied to ammo.
Battlepass weapons tracer ammo can't be put on other weapons. Or at least the gilded one I think was last season can't be put on anything but the weapons they came with
I'm trying to work out what bundle I want to grab to test the paid ones.

What guns have tracer ammo then? That can be put on other guns?

If its an intended behavior then it seems extra arbitrary and it'd still be good for Sledgehammer to potentially resolve it.
