The Original Supersized Gel Blaster Surge XL - Splat Ball Gun 150+ Foot Range - Toy Gel Blasters with Water Based Beads - Semi, Full-Auto, Triple Burst Modes - Outdoor Games & Toys - Ages 14+

Fun to play with. We got it to shoot at hawks if they get close to our chickens. This will shoot about 40 feet in a straight line, after that, they start going in all directions for the next 20 feet. 60 feet is about as far as they will go. That auto setting is great fun. Spits the balls out fast, and with surprising force. Wear eye protection if you are having a shootout with other people!!

Very fun splat gun, have used for months gone thru about 200,000 rounds and never had any issues with the gun. Everyone loves the gun and wishes they bought this one.

Okay, so I started with a brand synonymous for there foam flinging blasters, but had actually heard of this one first for the gel blasting kind. It’s a fantastic and fun toy that the whole family enjoys. I have purchased several of each now for everyone, and have the XL for myself, to test. The added FPS over the N brand doesn’t seem to make all that much difference in range, accuracy, or felt pain. Not sure the larger hopper makes for longer play time either as in single fire mode, I still tend to see 2-3 fully sized gellets come out. 3-5 with the 3 round burst, and I’ll assume full auto is fine.Accuracy on it seems about the same as any blaster without a hop up on it, but I’d say still marginally better accuracy and range than an off the shelf foam dart blaster toy.Size and use is great for older kids or adults, however, the other branded one I have is convertible and in my opinion equally suitable for use in the same way.Where this blaster really shines is the fire mode selector and the trigger. While small, it only needs a finger tip to work and is as easy to push as anything. It also fires as fast as I can pull it. The other brand, it seems to have a better single fire, however the trigger is “mushy” and has a delay when firing. Single fire with the XL for the win, but the not really single round is a slight negative. I believe this has to do with how the sensor to keep the firing piston is oriented. With N brand, it is cycled to stay closed and the XL stays open. I believe this allows more rounds to fall in during play and get fired out. While some reviews out there have mentioned N jams and the XL doesn’t…eh, I have issues with them both. Seems inherent with gravity fed blasters. Maybe a slight edge to the XL, and I’d have to guess that has to to do with a fractionally wider hopper opening.Where this one has a whole category the other can’t touch is night time play. You can see the gellets during the day to help you aim, but at night, or let’s say even dusk, there’s no way to see them blast out. You will need and you will want some tracer rounds and only Gel Blaster seems to have that. Get the night version or at least the added part to charge up the glow rounds. They work very well and add to the play time and a new aspect of the fun playing in the dark.

This is a blast, with pun only partly intended. This Gel Blaster can be used on single mode, three round bursts, and full automatic. The ammo is a non toxic, I think/assume, gel beads about twice the size of BB's, costs next too nothing are frangible and explode into nothingness on impact to most objects. Beware the power on this is higher than what you might expect from a toy. The power can be adjusted from low to high with a special key that comes with the gun, so a parent can adjust the velocity of the gel BBs from low to high. It's highly advised to wear the included safety glasses which are also included if you plan on shooting at one another, similar to paintball. Though no worry of clothing getting all splattered with paint as again these gel beads that it shoots are really just 99% water. The gel beads are grown from tiny gelatin specks about the size of grains of sand. Do NOT let your kids shoot at any animals or wildlife as on higher power settings, there is more than enough power to easily injure or even kill small birds and wildlife. These gel beads could certainly severely damage a pets or wildlife eyes as well as your own. This is not a toy to be used by any younger children, say 12 or under.

Bought this rifle and the pistol for my seven-year-old and I to run around the yard with. Overall fun and safe. The silicate spheres are felt but don’t hurt when shot. Rifle easy to use. In single shot mode the spheres break about 20% of the time when leaving the barrel 80% make it to target. Or mode it doesn’t seem to happen as often. A worthy purchase. Only callout is the numbers the company gives. Full power with the rehydrated spheres, it came with distance to target with a slight arc 75 feet max the hundred 150 feet plus they talk about is never gonna happen.Said I would consider this a close combat style game with accuracy 30 to 40 feet.The pistol suffers the same tameness with accuracy at 20 feet but then again the pistol is only $15. At $50 you would hope the numbers would be correct for this rifle. But even with a slightly higher price point would still recommend.

It has a cool si-fi look and you know it's a toy gun and not a imitation gun and can't be mistaken for a real gun so you know it's safe for kids. It sold for $55 which i think is a good price for a good toy gun, nice packaging and 10 thousand ammo and accessories. It has a 'hopper' to store the gel balls on top means you have more ammo than if it was a 'magazine ' you'd need several magazines to store that much ammo. It's also so much easier to load the ammo on a hopper! The different firing modes from single, 3 shot burst, full auto is nice. Definitely a good present for birthdays or Xmas!I must say, for shipping; it would have costed me over $110 U.S in ebay not including tax and duties etc. To get it shipped to New Zealand! I'm so glad it had affordable international shipping that did not cost me an arm and a leg ($50 approx)

Love the gun the kids and I have plenty of fun it works great.
