sonofsammo Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I used my Vector in CQB last night and had an absolute blast. I'm currently running it with an XCortech xt301 tracer unit. However, the problem is - it's shit (and broken now). So I'm going to leave them for my pistols. I need suggestions for decent tracer units, which don't massively increase the length of the gun. I have three questions: Which tracer are you running? What do you think of it? Would you get it again? TIA 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asomodai Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I use a B&T tracer unit. I have used it for three skirmishes and it has a broken sprung power button. I have to use tweezers to switch it off. Nice and bright though. I'd try something more robust next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkman Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Acetech Predator. Looks like a real Knights Armament silencer. Tracer unit goes inside or use foam inserts. It is also quick detach. (Comes with birdcage flash hider with cut out) Takes seconds to take on & off your gun and looks good. Made of metal and can take quite a knock. Tracer is very bright as well....

Supporters Prisce Posted October 17, 2018 Supporters Share Posted October 17, 2018 Make one on the hop unit and wire it to the trigger contacts so it only turns on when you fire your gun.. easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMarden Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I use the G&G rechargeable Tracer unit - a very robust unit which works well without the need for batteries! Are you going to be using red tracers as well? Worth checking that whichever unit you opt for is also compatible with reds. Our local site assigns different colour tracer rounds to opposing teams for Milsim events & there's been a few instances where red tracer bb's haven't worked with peoples units. Obviously the above is somewhat a moot point if you're only using greens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Lozart Posted October 18, 2018 Supporters Share Posted October 18, 2018 I have a Dytac one in a QD AAC suppressor for my SCAR, nie and bright, and quick to fit, a B&T one I mostly just use on my MP5K and a MAXX hop unit with tracer in my Specna which is EPIC!

Albiscuit Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I have an Acetech and cant fault it. Works a treat on any of my guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimli Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Anything Acetech, if you want a supressor looking unit, AT1000, if you want a QD flash hider/tracer combo, AT2000, if you want something small and compact which can also be used with a pistol, AceTech Lighter. i personally use the AT1000 and am so impressed i've bought a Lighter to use with my pistols, i'm really happy with the brightness of the bb's Also AVOID the Nuprol tracer, it's utter garbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
