A Gel Blaster is a toy gun that shoots small gel balls (also called Orbeez). These balls are made up of 95% water, so they burst on impact without causing damage or mess. The result: realistic play fun without pain or danger. Gel Blasters are used worldwide for team games, tactical simulations, and outdoor fun.

Safety is a priority at GelGuns.nl.

Our Gel Blasters use biodegradable gel balls that are non-toxic and environmentally friendly. We always recommend:

• Wearing safety goggles while playing.
  
• Not shooting at animals or people from close range.
  
• Always playing outdoors or on private property.
  

This way, Gel Blasters remain fun, safe, and a responsible hobby.
