Description
FMA Tracer (14mm) Silencer with Flat Top Version TYPE 2 (TB1097-P)
This is FMA’s Type 2 flat-top tracer silencer, code TB1097-P. It combines a mock silencer with a tracer unit, so it gives your replica a suppressed look while lighting up glow-in-the-dark BBs as they leave the barrel. It fits a 14mm thread, as the name shows.
A retailer listing for FMA’s T2 Flat Top tracer silencer describes it as a full-metal unit with an aluminium tube, measuring 185 x 35mm, with a 14mm counter-clockwise (CCW) thread and a sensor inside the tube. Tracer units are a favourite for night games and dark indoor sites, where seeing the path of every shot makes it much easier to walk your fire onto a target.
How a tracer works
A tracer unit uses a light inside the tube to charge glow-in-the-dark BBs as they pass through. Each BB leaves the muzzle glowing, so you can follow its flight in the dark. The sensor triggers the light as each BB passes, so the unit only flashes when you fire.
You need tracer BBs (glow-in-the-dark BBs) for the effect. Standard white or black BBs will pass through the unit normally but will not glow.
Flat-top design
The flat-top shape gives the unit a distinctive look compared with a round silencer, and the Type 2 name separates it from FMA’s other versions. Check the product images for the exact shape and finish.

Compatibility
Fits replicas with a 14mm counter-clockwise (CCW) muzzle thread, the most common thread on airsoft rifles. Check your replica’s thread direction, and use an adapter if it has a different thread. Make sure the unit’s bore is clear of your inner barrel and hop-up, and check the product details for the battery or charging method before ordering.
Care and maintenance
Keep the unit clean and dry, and wipe the bore with a dry cloth now and then so dust does not block the sensor or light. Remove or switch off any battery when it is not in use.
Use only clean tracer BBs in good condition, and check the unit is screwed on firmly before each game.
Who is it for?
For players who join night games or play at dark CQB sites and want a tracer that doubles as a mock silencer with a flat-top look.
Please note: Tracer BBs and replica not included. Always wear eye protection when playing airsoft.
