Polluxtroy69 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Blasters are fine. I use 0.20 and 0.25g. Never had any issues and they dont cost too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters jcheeseright Posted January 20, 2019 Supporters Share Posted January 20, 2019 I use 0.25g NUPROL tracers, they work fine 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMarden Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMarden Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 As Jcheeseright stated, a tad dimmer than the greens but still highly visible, and yes they look the bollocks through NV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted January 21, 2019 Supporters Share Posted January 21, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StrategyBish Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the new acetech units state (from the manufacturer) that they are only compatible with green but I've literally seen them used and there are multiple independent (user) reviews that state they work just fine including earlier in this very thread. They are not quite as bright as green, hence I queried how bright they got earlier in the thread, but still. My main point was regarding the use of huge bold black lettering saying DONT USE RED like it would cause harm to the tracer unit. Which it obviously won't.

Albiscuit Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Oh, yeah its just red will not show up properly.. I had to buy red tracers last time as it was all the shop had, used the whole bottle eventually, they were shite at glowing but caused no issue at all with the tracer. Still works a charm.

Expand Well my new tracer unit should be here in a couple of hours and I intend to try out using reds as my low ammo warning so I'll let you know how I get on. It's the acetech 'lighter' (not the S).
