Exciter for red luminescent projectile

Abstract

An exciter is adaptable for use with airsoft guns to excite red tracer BBs. The exciter comprises a tube and an adapter for coupling said tube to the muzzle of the guns. The exciter also comprises a blue tracer light source supported adjacent said tube. The light source being arranged to emit light into said tube.

1 . An exciter, adaptable for use with airsoft guns to excite red tracer BBs to glow, comprising a tube; an adapter for coupling said tube to the muzzle of airsoft gun; and a tracer light source supported adjacent said tube and arranged to emit light into said tube, wherein the light source emits a peak wavelength in the range 430 nm to 480 nm. 
     
     
         2 . An exciter, adaptable for use with airsoft guns to excite tracer projectiles to glow, comprising an internal passage disposed through the exciter, a detector coupled to a controller and configured to transmit a trigger signal to the controller in response to detecting a projectile passing through the internal passage, and at least one blue light source, coupled to the controller and configured to excite the projectile when receiving the trigger signal from the controller, wherein the blue light source briefly emits light on the internal passage and emits a peak wavelength in the range 430 nm to 480 nm.
