if you make the heavier wieghts i will use them jay.

i've always found that the relative cost of a tracer unit to the number of times most will actully show up to a lower light game is a huge factor. around here there arent all that many night games and people lack the availibility or willingness to play them for whatever reason. i use my tracers pretty much every chance i get..indoor, outdoor, it doesnt matter to me. if i have .12's, .20's, .25's...it's never really mattered to me since personally i'll just run them through which ever piece of my collection is appropriate for that particular mass off bb. that being said, ive found the average player out there isnt really looking to spend $150+/- on a tracer unit that they're going to use once a year. nubs and vets alike all love them when they see them used but it's generally not enough to spend the money on a tracer unit and the, typically, higher priced ammo.

to me the giggle factor and the "HOLY SHIT!!!" factor from those who have the multicoloured streaks zipping passed them is all too worth it. i'm an airsofter to be entertained and tracers (and various other goodies) help me reach that goal when i'm out there.

some might argue that tracers work both ways and will compromise your position...well...what does a flashlight do? all those die hard would be simmers out there really should be all about having a tracer and running some sort of mix since it would make it a closer simulation to live fire. those that use white ammo, and i'm not saying it's a bad thing by any means, essentially run tracers all the time during the day. how many of you can honestly say that you dont EVER walk your fire in by watching your rounds down range? i run black rounds primarily with whites mixed in as my daytime "tracer" mix specifically for that purpose. how's it any differant for a low light game?

i love it...i use it every chance i get...if you make it i will use it!
