6mm Badger shows what he calls as the best hack on a tracer unit, using the E-Shooter Flare Smoky BT on a Toxicant XM5 GBB... "This is hands down my favorite smoke tracer unit for airsoft — the E-Shooter Flare Smoky BT. In this video, I experiment with fitting it into different suppressors to get the perfect look and function.
I start by trying to mount it inside a PTS Dead Air Sandman, but it’s too long. Then I get an idea: use my Toxicant SIG suppressor! After a bit of trial and error (and some O-ring magic), I manage to make it fit — but there’s a catch. On my Toxicant XM5, the tracer’s too wide for the gas adjustment key, so I swap it for a slimmer replacement from Toxicant.
The video covers:
- Why the E-Shooter Flare Smoky BT is my top smoke tracer choice.
- The full step-by-step install hack.
- Swapping the XM5’s gas valve key.
- Final test with smoke effect in action!
If you love airsoft tech hacks, tracer units, or just want your build to look next level, this one’s for you."
