No one other than cave-dwelling protohumans would compare something to a 1st gen TM tracer unit.... Those things haven't been on the world market for like 10 years...

A proper comparison would be the 2nd gen unit to the Acetech ones.

I heard Actech was made by xcortech ex-engineers. that alone gives it a boost in my list. for now I am inclined to get x3300w system. at least i get a few gimmicks extras for my $$

Who buys the first gen TM? They haven't even been available for probably 8-10 years.

Acetech would hold up well with GBBR recoil shock? Looking for a tracer for my ghk 74u aswell!

I just played at siege today with the acetech at1000 and no matter where i shot i can see the bbs glowing perfectly

Reading this again is sparking some renewed interest in running tracer again for indoor game play.

However, I have seen someone modify their tracer unit by chopping the can in half; effectively separating the battery compartment and the photo strobe unit, then running the batteries to a PEQ-style box.

This is something I would definitely want to try, as the only reason I wouldn't run tracer indoors is the extra length in front of my rifle that I wouldn't want manipulating my rifle in CQB.

Anybody know who has done this? I can't recall who it was at Siege that I saw that had this done on their tracer unit. He was running it on a pistol too.

Wouldn't be hard, just have to run the proper voltage to it.

EDIT: Oh wow that comment is a year old.

Serious question for everyone, Why are Tracer BBs hard to find?

Im in ontario, everyone is either sold out or doesn't sell. Toronto Airsoft seems to be one of the only people that has Valken ones in stock for decent pricing.

Anyone know why they are sold out in so many places? Makes me question if i should buy them in bulk

Tracer BBs show exactly where you are and you can't just shoot 10 in a row. Using them actually makes the game harder to play.

Another reason is the demand. They are too expensive compared to quality bbs plus you need tracer unit.

for indoor play, I prefer to run .20 or .25 for reasons of speed but the lowest tracer bb i have seen is 0.25
