What are gel blaster balls made of?

Gel balls, which also is called water crystal gel or water beads or gel beads or orbeez, etc. Anyway, it's a gel thing that can absorb water. You may have heard it before, it used to be a deocration purpose water beads, but nowadays it's commonly used as an ammo in the gel blasters toy guns. Normally the gel balls are in a spherical form made of superabsorbent polymer, which is a kind of water-absorbing polymer. So a gel ball can aborb water and swell to its full size.

Nowadays, people usually use it for decorating, watering plants, especially in holiday events. They look really beautiful especiall mixing with various colors. They are fun, good looking and easy to use.

Specifically, they're fabricated from a kind of polymer named hydrogel, the equal type used to make contact lenses. A hydrogel is a polymer this is soluble in water however has reticulations. those reticulations save you the polymer from dissolving, since they maintain the macromolecules collectively, and lead them to swell instead while I am aqueous media.

 

How to make gel blaster balls?

Step 1: put the non-hydrated gel balls in a bowl or container, then pour in at least 2 cups of water for each teaspoon of gel balls. Gel balls need to be submerged in water, which means you need to add enough water to cover the gel balls. You could notice that the gel balls will start swelling gradually!

Step 2: Wait for around 4 hours.

Step 3: Dry the grown gel balls by using a gel ball sifter, then find a gel ball bottle or gel ball speed loaders to get the gel balls in. After that, you can easily reload magazines via the bottles.

There are different qualities of projectiles, the more "rigid" the projectiles will be, the more precise the replica will be, however, the impact will also be stronger. We find a classic diameter in most Blasters, it is the 7-8mm diameter. We say 7-8mm because the diameter of the barrel can withstand this difference there and depending on the marks we will have projectiles more or less close to one of the two values (for example, the most used, called "Milkies" because of their milky color measures 7.2mm in diameter).
