a couple of new pics from last nights test.
3 Flash type Tracer units, and red and green ammo.
Lots of ricochets.
Tracer units also available for hire at Gunman NW night games

thanks for the feedback on the lasers, please let me know how the blue ray does

ive found that lighting tracer BB`s with leds only lights ONE half, so when the hop spins the BB, its duller than it should be.
I think a laser would only light one spot or one half of a BB, as well.
the Flash bulb tracer units are the best as the flash lights the whole tube and gets all the BB, also the BB is spinning as it passes through the unit.
LEDS do work, just not as well as flash bulbs.
I am going to try lasers as well , just to see how it works, maybe a laser in a silencer, with a mirror at 45 degrees to shine the beam into the BB as it passes maybe?

The red madbull tracers and green blaster tracers all worked great at the event last night. there wasnt much wind, and i was hit by the red ones on two occasions, even though they were .12g bbs they still had a good thwack when they hit me at 40 metres range.
the lack of wid last night, meant they were pretty accurate.
shipping from the US puts massive cost on an order, and we end up paying import tax as well as the shipping costs drive it over the tax threshold.
Thanks for all the Information on the U.S made Tracers yee245, very good reading, especially on the external diamiter.
we can buy the stuff in from Denmark, part of the Euro union, so no import tax, how they get them in from hong kong at a good price im not sure, maybe their import taxes are less.
looking into it, i may give them a call later tommorrow and see what the shipping costs are,

A quick review on Madbull RED Tracer BB`s .12g
Ive recently got hold of some of these from the very nice chaps at airsoft armouries..
The weight is next to nothing, so the fly all over the place, Which is great as im going to put them in a support weapon.
Last night we fired 2,000 through a standard Mauri AK47 with a high cap and Marui Tracer Unit
Not one single misfeed. the quality of the BB is Very good 10 out of 10.
And with a tracer unit they Glow very well indeed.
I tried a couple of magazine using a M4 and a G+P UV Tracer m16 magazine, and I could barley see them. (blaster green BBs worked ok though)
So id say with a flash type tracer unit buy some now.
If you use tracer mags, stick with green.
I will post and update when ive done a Ultra bright LED Hop-up mod tonight.
Heres some pictures of the test. 1 and 3 second exposures taken at twilight.
Top picture shows red and green at the same time.
second picture shows the tracers shooting IN TO A STRONG WIND, dispersion isnt too bad when its not windy
Hope this is of use to everyone

ive been running mine for 5 years now, and its still my fave gun.
I run it of a 32oz paintball co2 bottle, with the line going into the base of the magazine (i braised a quick release adapter to the magazine in place of the screw cap, and sealed it with araldite glue.)
saves pishing around with powerlets, you only have to speedload the magazine and your good to go again.
Any one else still using this beast of a gun , or just me?

Just revived my order from them, (i ordered based on the comments on here) totaly top service, quick , free bag of sweets, and the stuff was just right
100% for these guys , ill defo order again

ive been using mine for 3 years now, on green gas. 504 fps @ -1 degree C .25bb
magazine was in my pocket for 5 mins before chrono
bolt and reciver show signs of wear , but nothing to cause the gun to fail.
ive got slight distortion on the back of the bolt from ramming the bolt forwards too hard in a firefight, you dont need much force to cock it at all really
a great gun

Thanks guys for some very honest and fair comments.
The Cons are what i care about the most, and heres our take on the when we were clearing up at end ex.
Cons:
* safety brief was far too short - its good to remind everyone of the rules, no matter how experienced they are.
Fair point. I was trying to get things rolling, and assumed everyone (being long term players) would agree, in hindsight, a bad call by me personally.
From now on, no skipping ANY aspect of the safety brief.
* scaffold in the truck needs to be tightened up to make it safe for people to use.
We agreed, Tiny the other in game marshal agreed as he saw it first hand, Its since been binned, and im in the process of having rigid, once piece, steel side rails manufactured for the truck. no more connections to vibrate loose.
* didn't get to use as much of the site as we would have liked.
Full site use in the next game
* confusion over the moving of the ISAF regen point, better comms between marshals is essential in future.
?A very embarrassing confession , we had 6 fully charged radios ready to go. WE FORGET THEM
we were useing our mobiles in leau, and it wasnt good at all
Wont happen again.
apart from all that, im over the moon you guys liked it so much, and thanks for writing such a good review
all the best, Tony
