Description
G&G Tracer Unit (Tan)
This G&G tracer unit in tan fits to the muzzle of your replica and makes tracer BBs glow as they leave the barrel, so you can see every shot in low light. It looks like a compact suppressor on the end of the gun, and it turns night games and dark CQB into a very different experience.
G&G Armament is a long-established Taiwanese airsoft manufacturer known for its AEGs and accessories. Our listing does not give the exact model, length, thread or power source of this unit, so please check the product photos and the box details before ordering. The tan finish suits desert, coyote and multicam-style builds, and it is also listed in black.
How a tracer unit works
A tracer unit sits on the muzzle like a mock suppressor. As each BB passes through, a burst of light, usually ultraviolet, charges the glow-in-the-dark coating on a tracer BB, so it leaves a bright streak along its flight path. You can follow every shot, see exactly where your BBs are going and walk your fire onto a target, which is a real advantage in night games, dark buildings and low-light woodland.
Tracer units only work with tracer (luminous) BBs. Ordinary white or black BBs pass through without glowing, so stock up on tracer BBs of a weight that suits your replica and hop-up.
Using it in games
Tracer units come into their own in night games, indoor sites with dark areas and dense woodland at dusk. They are also excellent for setting up hop-up and learning how BB weight and hop affect your trajectory, because you can see the whole flight path. Bear in mind that tracers show your opponents roughly where you are firing from, so many players switch theirs off when they want to stay hidden.

Compatibility
Most rifle tracer units fit a 14mm counter-clockwise (CCW) muzzle thread, the most common thread on AEGs. If your replica has a 14mm clockwise (CW) or other thread, you will need a suitable adapter. Make sure the inner barrel does not protrude into the unit and that there is nothing in the bore to clip the BB. As the thread is not stated on our listing, check the photos and your replica’s muzzle before ordering. Requires tracer BBs.
Care and maintenance
Remove the batteries, or charge and switch off the unit, before storing it, and keep it somewhere dry. Wipe the outside clean after games and check that no BB fragments or dirt are lodged in the bore, as debris in the path of the BB can affect accuracy. Never look into the light source while the unit is switched on.
Before each game, check the unit is screwed on fully and straight and that the inner bore lines up with your barrel. A unit that is not aligned can clip BBs, causing poor accuracy and wear. Clean your inner barrel regularly and use good-quality tracer BBs, as dirty or damaged BBs leave residue in the unit.
Who is it for?
Players who take part in night games or play at dark indoor sites, and anyone who wants to see their shots to fine-tune hop-up, with a tan muzzle device that looks like a suppressor.
Please note: Tracer BBs are not included and are needed for the tracer effect. Batteries and charging details are not stated. Always wear eye protection.
