Guide to Using Gel Blasters – How to Get Started
Learn everything you need to know about gel blaster use – from preparing gel pellets to maintaining your gel blaster. Follow this easy step-by-step guide to ensure a safe and fun experience.
1. Prepare the Gel Balls
Purchase and storage
Make sure to buy original gel balls that fit your gel blaster. Store them in a dry, cool container to ensure quality.
Hydration
Fill a bowl with water and add the gel balls. Let them absorb water for 3-4 hours (or as directed on the package) until they reach their full size. This step is crucial when preparing gel balls.
Bottling
Once the balls are fully hydrated, pour off the excess water. Now your gel balls are ready for action.
2. Loading Gel Blaster
Open the magazine
Find the magazine on your gel blaster and carefully open it.
Fill with gel balls
Carefully pour the hydrated gel beads into the magazine. Avoid spillage for best performance.
Close the magazine
Once the magazine is loaded, ensure it is properly locked into place in the blaster.
3. Prepare Your Gel Blaster
Proper preparation ensures that your blaster performs optimally.
Charge the battery
If your gel blaster is battery-powered, fully charge the battery before starting. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to properly install the battery.
Check the blaster
Make sure all parts are intact and correctly assembled. Check for any visible damage before you begin.
4. Gel Blaster Safety
Use protective equipment
It is important to wear safety glasses or a mask to protect your eyes. Safety comes first!
Proper use
Never point the blaster at the face or vulnerable body areas – either yourself or others. Also, only use them in safe areas.
Respect for the environment
Only play with gel blasters in areas where it is permitted to avoid scaring or disturbing others.
5. How to Use a Gel Blaster
Aim and shoot
Aim the blaster at your target and slowly pull the trigger to fire the gel balls.
Recharge
When the magazine is empty, repeat the process with the load gel blaster.
6. After Use
Empty the magazine
Remove any remaining gel balls to prevent them from drying out or damaging the blaster.
Cleaning
Wipe your gel blaster with a dry cloth to remove moisture and dirt. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for a more thorough cleaning if necessary.
Safe storage
Store both the gel blaster and the remaining gel balls out of the reach of small children and in a dry place.
7. Maintaining Your Gel Blaster
