There is no minimum age requirement for using a Gel Blaster.

However, manufacturers do provide recommended ages, which may vary per model depending on power, size and ease of use.

Would you like to know the recommended age for a specific model? Feel free to contact us – we are happy to help you with appropriate advice.

Check:

1. Whether the battery is fully charged.
2. Whether the gel balls are properly hydrated; their diameter should be between 7 and 8 mm.
3. Whether there is any blockage in the magazine or barrel of the weapon.
4. Whether the on/off switch is turned on.

Is the problem still there? Then please contact us via the contact page.

After each use:

• Ensure that the magazine is completely empty.
• Clean the barrel of the weapon with a dry cloth.
• Ensure that the battery is at least 30% charged when not in use.
• Store the gel balls in an airtight container.
