Gel Ball Blasters: A Fun & Mess-Free Alternative
Gel ball blasters, also called gel blasters or splat ball blasters, are toy guns that shoot small, water-based gel balls. These gel balls, often called Gellets or Orbeez, are soft and biodegradable, making them a less messy and painful alternative to traditional airsoft or paintball guns.
History:
Gel blasters first appeared in China as a substitute for airsoft guns, which were banned in the Mainland since 2008. They quickly gained popularity in other regions with strict airsoft laws, like Australia and parts of Southeast Asia. In recent years, gel blasters have become increasingly popular worldwide as a fun and safe outdoor activity for people of all ages.
Description:

• Gel balls: These are small, water-based beads that expand when soaked in water. They are typically 6-8mm in diameter and come in various colors.
• Blaster mechanism: Most gel blasters use an electric motor to propel the gel balls. Some models may have a spring-loaded mechanism or even use compressed air.
• Firing modes: Gel blasters can have various firing modes, including single shot, burst fire, and full auto.
• Range and velocity: The range and velocity of gel blasters can vary depending on the model and power source. Some high-powered models can shoot gel balls up to 200 feet per second.
• Safety features: Most gel blasters come with safety goggles and may have other safety features like trigger locks or low-velocity settings.
  Popularity & Appeal:
  Gel blasters offer a fun and relatively safe way to enjoy outdoor shooting games. They are less messy than paintball guns, and the gel balls are less likely to cause pain or injury compared to airsoft pellets. The biodegradable nature of the gel balls also makes them more environmentally friendly.
  Important Note:
  Always follow safety guidelines and local laws when using gel blasters. Wear appropriate safety gear, and never shoot at people or animals.
