What BB's will be best to run though this with my tm recoil ? also what weight?

Blasters are fine. I use 0.20 and 0.25g. Never had any issues and they dont cost too much 

 

[jcheeseright]

I use 0.25g NUPROL tracers, they work fine ?

 

[MikeMarden]

Used ASG Blasters 0.25 for a few years, never let me down once, have recently started using Geoffs (Red) as well & again no issues at all.

Ran these through both the TM 416D Delta & Devgru, either way you'll be safe with either brand.

Thank you lads,!!

Does it matter if the bullets are .2 or .25?

Does it make a difference if they are 0.20 or 0.25?

Depends what youre using them for. 

I use 0.20 inside as theres no wind to carry the BB off and theyre much cheaper. I also mix the same weight tracer BB with regular BBs so not every single shot glows, thats what i prefer. But 0.25 (or heavier) outside as a heavier BB will go through leaves etc and be less likely be be carried by the wind. Dont mix weights as you wont know what youre chronoing.

Obviously the heavier the BB the lower your FPS will be (FPS isnt everything).

Brilliant mate, this makes sense and good idea about mixing them  thank you

How do you find the reds? Are they nice and bright like the greens?

Red tracers are a bit dimmer than green, though they show up REALLY well through night vision ?

 

[MikeMarden]

As Jcheeseright stated, a tad dimmer than the greens but still highly visible, and yes they look the bollocks through NV!

If you're running mid caps, consider loading some BBs of a different colour, or non-tracer BBs, in first. They'll come out last and let you know when the mag is nearly empty.

Longbow have just released their own tracer rounds. currently with 0.25 and 0.3 on offer looking to bring out more weights when they can.

 

[emilianoksa]

In the advert It says  " Supports only green tracer BBs"

Don't buy red.

Honestly I say 'bollocks' to this.

Red BB's are the same as green BB's in all but colour. The UV light from the tracer unit will do the same job on a red tracer BB as a green. Just a light absorbing component.

They likely say only to use green because they produce the best effect.

Longbow BB's - they glow like a prostitutes bed sheets under a black light

How's the quality of the longbow tracers. Would like to see them on the 'tested BB' thread list.

Im not 100% what tests they were put through on the test thread but could probably send some over to whoever did it for them to check.

They were tested for size, roundness, polish, shatter etc





It was @gasman conducting the tests.
