Glow in the dark BB's

Postby TheAirsoftSaint » Sat Oct 08, 2011 8:08 am

Hey guys i was wondering, is it possible to charge the BB with a standard flashlight attachment? Or do you need the Tracer Unit? Since AUG mags are made into tracer mags, i would have to get an actual tracer unit.

That indeed is a very good question, I think it would not work seeing as the flashlight doesnt get close enough to the bb in order to light it up. It may work, but I dont think you would get the full effects of having a tracer unit/mag.

the flashlight thing isn't going to be as effective as a tracer unit would be. Google hopup tracer units.

It works *sorta*. You need a powerful torch with a lot of throw to make it work. And most of the time, you don't even illuminate BB's just sort of...highlight them..

Best to look into hop up tracer units or the suppressor looking ones

Best guide out there for a DIY tracer unit! IMO much better than the silencer style tracer units which cost around $50-$100. I've installed more than three dozen of these they work great, last long time!

While I kinda understand why you would do this, it is flawed from the start. You might as well just use normal BBs and the flashlight. From your perspective, I don't think you would see the BBs glowing at all, to the the flashlight.
