What Is A Gel Blaster?
The next evolution in backyard fun! Gel Blasters are toy battle blasters that shoot non-toxic, eco-friendly, biodegradable Gellets.
Gellets® are small, colorful water-hydrated balls that pop on contact and immediately begin to disintegrate, leaving no stain, no mess and no clean up.
Does it Hurt?
Yes, but you hardly notice because you are laughing so hard. It feels like getting shot with a rubber band, a quick, minor sting.
Do they leave a stain or residue?
Gel Blasters shoot biodegradable, Gellets™. Gellets are made out of Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP), an all natural, non-toxic, non-irritating, starch-based material. Gellets burst on contact and immediately begin to break down and disintegrate, leaving no stain or gel residual. If you come back in 15 minutes...Poof...All evidence of battle is gone.
How far will they shoot?
The GB1911 and the GB Surge shoot up to 100 feet, although it is way more fun at close range. Gel Blaster rifles are great for sniper shots with a range of over 150 ft., but have a much greater sting.
Is this just like paintball or airsoft?
Less pain. Less prep. Less mess. Same fun!
Are Gellets™ Safe for the environment, pets, people, etc.?
Yes! The GB SURGE shoots biodegradable Gellets™. Gellets are small, colorful, hydrating balls made out of Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP), an all natural, non-toxic, non-irritating, starch-based material. Gellets burst on contact and immediately begin to disintegrate.
How do I hydrate my Gellets™?
Gellets must be soaked for at least 2 hours in water to fully expand in size. Failing to completely hydrate the Gellets may cause the Gel Blaster to function poorly. Overnight soaking is recommended.
Note: Gellets will expand 10x their size. Make sure you use a big enough container and plenty of water. A 1 gallon bucket works great for hydrating a 10,000k Gellet pack. You cannot overhydrate your Gellets. Store hydrated Gellets in an airtight container, away from the elements and direct sunlight.
How do I store my Gellets™?
Hydrated Gellets will last up to 2 weeks in an airtight container. Fully submerge the Gellets in water for storage of up to three months. Keep dehydrated Gellets dry until ready to us
How long do Gellets™ last?
Gellets last indefinitely when dehydrated, and up to three months when submerged in water.
Are Gel Blasters© Safe?
Absolutely. Gellets are soft and squishy, but they do travel at 150fps (Feet Per Second), meaning they will sting a bit when they hit you. We recommend wearing long sleeves and pants when playing to negate some of that sting, especially for smaller children, and ALWAYS wear protective eyewear. (Every Gel Blaster package includes protective eyewear.)
