AceTech Blaster Compact Rechargeable Tracer Unit, Tan

Tracer games are the fun kind, until the friend you keep trying to tag turns out to be an enemy, and the one who just hit you was on your team. The AceTech Blaster Compact puts a green tracer effect on every shot so everyone can actually see who is shooting at who.

Three modes, one switch. Tracer mode gives you the standard green tracer effect on each round. Flame mode swaps to a simulated muzzle flash, which is useful for low-light games where flash is easier to spot than tracer at distance. Dual mode runs both together for the full effect. You can switch modes with the unit mounted on the gun, no tools needed.

Green BBs only, not red. The Blaster is designed for green tracer BBs and water BBs only. Red tracer BBs won't register, so check with your field on what they require before a tracer event. Most fields standardise on green.

Battery that lasts. Built-in Li-Ion battery charges via MicroUSB in about 2.5 hours and good for up to 20,000 shots per charge. Automatic sleep mode kicks in after five minutes of inactivity so it doesn't drain sitting on a bench between games.

Fast fire, no missed rounds. The unit supports burst speeds up to 35 RPS, so it won't skip shots on a full-auto AEG even when you're letting it all hang out. The flame mode doubles as a muzzle flash reference for target ID when tracer visibility is limited by distance.

Size and fit. At 76mm long and 32mm diameter, roughly 2.5 oz without the converter, it won't upset the balance of the gun. Threading is 14mm CCW, which is the rifle standard. An M14 CCW-to-M11 CW adapter ships in the box, so it'll mount on 11mm CW pistol barrels too.

Before you buy. The unit is FCC, CE and ROHS certified, made in Taiwan. The manual covers the mode selection and charging details — spend ten minutes with it at home before game day so you're not fiddling with controls while everyone else is already playing.
