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.
