Complete Guide on How To Use Gel Blaster Guns

Since more and more people joining the hobby of gel ball blasting, some of you may wanna know how to use gel blaster guns in a right way. This complete guide on how to use gel blasters will answer most common questions. For any gel blasting beginners, this article could be very useful for you guys.

 

How Does Gel Blaster Work?

A gel blaster is a toy gun that fires small water-absorbent gel balls. The gel balls are made from a polymer material that can absorb water. Before using this toy, you need to put these small spheres into a bowl with water. Then, they swell to a size of around 7-8mm when soaked for a few hours.

The gel ball blaster works by using a spring-loaded piston air pump to create air pressure. This air pressure is then used to propel the gel balls out of the gun's barrel. The muzzle velocity of a gel blaster is typically around 30-50fps, which is much lower than that of an airsoft gun. This makes gel blasters relatively safe to use, even for young children.

When the water beads hit their target, they burst and break down into small pieces. These pieces are water-soluble and will eventually dissolve in water. This makes gel blasters a relatively environmentally friendly toy.

Here is a more detailed explanation of how a gel blaster works:

  1. The gel balls are loaded into the gun's magazine.
  2. The spring-loaded piston air pump is cocked.
  3. The trigger is pulled, which releases the piston air pump.
  4. The air pressure from the piston air pump propels the gel balls out of the gun's barrel.
  5. The gel balls hit their target and burst.
  6. The pieces of the gel balls break down and dissolve in water.

Gel guns are a relatively safe and environmentally friendly toy that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to have fun and get some exercise.

 

How to Set Up A Gel Ball Blaster?

Here are the steps on how to set up a gel ball shooter:

  1. Read the instructions. This is the most important step, as it will tell you how to set up your specific gel blaster.
  2. Prepare the gel balls. Gel balls need to be hydrated before they can be used. The amount of time they need to hydrate will vary depending on the type of gel balls you are using. Typically, they need to be soaked in water for 4-6 hours, or overnight.
  3. Load the gel balls into the magazine. The magazine is the part of the gel blaster that holds the gel balls. There are different types of magazines, so make sure you know how to load the one that your gel blaster uses.
  4. Insert the battery. Most gel blasters use a battery to power the air pump. The battery compartment is usually located in the handle of the gel blaster.
  5. Turn on the gel blaster. There is usually a switch on the side of the gel blaster that you need to turn to the "on" position.
  6. Aim and shoot. Once the gel blaster is turned on, you can aim and shoot at your target.

Here are some additional tips for setting up a gel ball blaster:

  • Use a clean, clear water to hydrate the gel balls. This will help them to swell evenly and prevent them from breaking.
  • Do not overfill the magazine with gel balls. This can cause the gel balls to jam in the magazine.
  • Make sure the battery is inserted correctly. If the battery is not inserted correctly, the gel blaster will not work.
  • Wear eye protection when using a gel blaster. This will help to protect your eyes from the gel balls.

 

How to Assemble Gel Blaster？

Here are the steps on how to assemble a water beads gun:

  1. Gather your tools and materials. You will need a screwdriver, a pair of pliers, and the gel blaster itself.
  2. Identify the different parts of the gel blaster. There are many different types of gel blasters, so the exact parts may vary. However, most gel blasters have the following parts:
    • A barrel
    • A magazine
    • A trigger
    • A grip
    • A stock
    • A battery
    • A spring
    • A piston
  3. Assemble the main body of the gel blaster. This may involve screwing the barrel, magazine, trigger, grip, and stock together.
  4. Insert the battery. The battery compartment is usually located in the handle of the gel blaster.
  5. Load the magazine with gel balls. The magazine is the part of the gel blaster that holds the gel balls. There are different types of magazines, so make sure you know how to load the one that your gel blaster uses.
  6. Test the gel blaster. Once the gel blaster is assembled, you should test it to make sure it works properly.

Here are some additional tips for turning on a gel blaster:

  • Make sure the battery is inserted correctly. If the battery is not inserted correctly, the gel blaster will not work.
  • If the gel blaster does not turn on, check the fuse. The fuse is usually located in the battery compartment.
  • If the gel blaster still does not turn on, contact the manufacturer for assistance.

 

How to Charge Your Gel Blasters?

Gel blasters typically use rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, which provide the necessary power for firing. To charge a gel blaster, you will need a charger that is compatible with the battery type used by your gel blaster.

Here are the steps on how to charge a gelsoft blaster:

  1. Locate the battery compartment. The gel blaster battery compartment is usually located in the handle of the gel blaster.
  2. Remove the battery from the gel blaster. Be careful not to touch the terminals of the battery with your bare hands.
  3. Connect the battery to the charger. The charger will have a connector that matches the charging port on the battery.
  4. Plug the charger into an electrical outlet. The charger will usually have a power cord that plugs into a standard wall outlet.
  5. Charge the battery for the recommended amount of time. The recommended charging time will vary depending on the battery type and the charger.
  6. Once the battery is fully charged, remove it from the charger. You can then insert the battery back into the gel blaster and start using it.

Here are some additional tips for charging a gel blaster battery:

  • Use a charger that is compatible with the battery type used by your gel blaster. Using an incompatible charger can damage the battery.
  • Do not overcharge the battery. Overcharging can damage the battery and shorten its lifespan.
  • If the battery is not fully charged, it may not have enough power to fire the gel blaster.
  • If the battery is damaged, do not use it. A damaged battery can pose a safety hazard.

Should You Dry Fire Gel Ball Blasters?

No, you should not dry fire a gel blaster. Dry firing is the act of firing a gun without any ammunition. In the case of a gel blaster, this means firing the gun without any gel balls.

Dry firing a gel blaster can damage the gun. The firing pin can strike the barrel, which can cause the barrel to become damaged. The firing pin can also become damaged, which can prevent the gun from firing properly.

In addition, dry firing a gel blaster can be dangerous. The firing pin can strike the barrel with enough force to cause the barrel to break. This can send pieces of the barrel flying, which could injure someone.

For these reasons, it is important to never dry fire a gel blaster. If you need to practice your aim, you can use a laser pointer or a dry fire trainer.
