- I don't think they're related, but it is interesting that Hasbro made their Nerf Ball announcement right around the same time these started hitting shelves.

Nerf will make actual firearms before they make a half length dart blaster.
Edit: Yes, I'm aware they did make one, but it took them HOW LONG? Plus they haven't made one since the Stryfe X and the Stryfe X is a terrible value.
Yeah imagine if this was a full auto half length blaster. That could make Nerf better than its competitors, but alas, Hasbro is just severely trailing behind the trend train.
This is firearm what’re u talking about?… well, or at least in Victoria state of Australia. 😂😂😂
@@NamelessPassenger oh those pour Australians
If you have seen the nerf ball thing from hasbro, it looks like they are already getting into half darts if I’m not mistaken.
But Hasbro HAS made a half length dart blaster. It just isn't available for commercial purchase, yet.
Why I'm not into gel blasters:
1. Prep time. Most of my blasting is spur of the moment office-wars or messing with the neighbor's kids or helping them mess with their own blasters.
2. Personal Preference/Mess. I just prefer to be smacked with darts or airsoft ammo than splatted. Don't want the gel/water in my face/clothes/skin.
3. Accuracy. I enjoy the feeling of nailing a well-placed shot. All the gel blasters do the 'accuracy through volume' thing.
4. Ammo types. In backyard games and such, we often come up with different rules for Mega Darts or shields or whatever for fun. Gel blasters only have one ammo type.
also you don't need to wait for amazon to play nerf
They're dumb, dangerous, probably illegal in a lot of markets. Go back to making dart blasters PLEASE.
You could use different colors of gellets as “ammo types”
@@exclusiveindustries3848 Good idea! Not as distinct as Nerf ammo types, but certainly something to try out!
@@Tyflighter ya I might have to try this too!!!
As an Aussie who only has nerf and gel blasting as options let me say, A. its hella fun and comparable to airsoft down here. add the right hop up and tune and its decent. B. most of our gels can last weeks in the cupboard or fridge so the "spur of the moment" game is still achievable and C. easy clean up and cheap as chips ammo.
Still a non-starter for indoor family/office wars.
@@stuponfucious7 never disagreed with that, just addressing other general comments
@@stuponfucious7 better I do indoor they haven't broke anything yet and hell of a lot better cleaning up
Sad that u guys cant have airsoft down there
Man me in malaysia only left nerf other gel blaster and airsoft were illegal 😢😢
I recently bought an UnlocX V2 and I really enjoy the performance. Similar rate of fire, but shoots over 200 FPS and is much more reliable at feeding due to the gearboxed magazine. Gel ball won't replace foam flinging for me, but it will be a fun alternative.
I not really knowledgeable on this when you say FPS you don’t mean frames per second right?
@@Prec1sion-Aim feet per second
This blaster is so much better with a soda bottle hopper. The shape makes it feed more consistently
This seems like a pretty well-made and good-looking blaster, albeit in a category personally less desirable. Thanks for the review Drac!
A lot of good points on this blaster that could easily be used on dart blasters. And if I remember correctly the included battery is very similar to a LiPo battery, if not an actual LiPo
Nerf "Pro" but we won't make high performance blasters like Dart Zone Pro.
Tbh, I think Nerf still thinks they set the trends. They don’t. Not anymore. Hopefully this gel blaster they made is proof that they learned their lesson
@@mrsoisauce9017 Or It brings back gelball. Even dart zone is acknowledging It
I'm not entirely sold on gel or airsoft because, like you said in (I believe) your Worst Of 2021 video, the big appeal of foam darts is the reusability of the ammo. I can collect all of my darts and use them again later after dumping a few magazines on a target. With gel or airsoft, I don't have that luxury.
The ammo is soooo cheap in gel that it's actually more price efficient than foam darts.
Not only that the exhilarating feeling of having foam darts wiz by is much more satisfying than air soft or gels. Airsoft and gel more or less, the bullets are so small you don't really notice them so there is little feed back of knowing if you are getting shot at
@@jasonschwartz9481 True, my only gripe is that you have to soak them for hours first.
To each their own; as much as I like foam flinging, I would honestly rather wait 3-4 hours to prep biodegradable gelsoft rounds than rummage around during/after every battle to pick up darts or foam balls.
My only real problem with gelsoft is that most of the blasters offered on the market are milsim/firearm replicas, which is really cool but can easily lead to a lot of misunderstandings, false alarms, and possibly even tragic accidents.
@@theoutlawking9123 yeah. If I'm going to play nerf or gel it's going to usually be with a group of friends or my kids. So, we'll plan out the night before in many cases. For me, gel can be used with half length nerf though. Basically, a different weapon class. We'll use the $50-$60 Nexus pro style as our base weapons. One player on each team will use a swift with the upgraded springs as a "sniper" class. And, one on each team uses a gel blaster as a support/suppression class. It seems to work. They have slightly less range than the base 140-150fps Dart Zone "pro" style blasters. But, can be tactically used if you get behind a good position or high ground.
I find them useful and fun. But, almost always exclusively with half length blasters too. If I use them alone, it's just with my kids and in a semi small area.
The battery for this is LiPo. Seriously. Hasbro. LiPo all your blasters. Release a cross-platform standardized rechargeable LiPo battery pack compatible with all the blasters. People will pay a bit more for it. Stihl makes yardwork tools that run on battery packs, and the same battery can be used on all the power tools. People buy the tools and then a few batteries to run them and have some extras on hand to charge while others are in use, and Stihl makes some decent money that way.
Great shell design, collapsible stock, and overall ergo.
Yep.
That's what I got.
10:54 Drac says "swell up some balls"
I got an amazing deal at Target $26.99 for one and picked up 4 for my family, excited to try these out!
I like seeing my ammo flying to the target, then picking it up and using it again. Rinse and repeat. The technology is cool, but GB just doesn’t feel like sustainable fun. Great review however.
Bro this comment is so on point. I feel like Nerf is doing whatever it can to stay in the spotlight. Like grasping at straws. I feel like even their new “Pro” half-length blasters will have limited FPS to pander to the casual crowd. 👎
💯
@@foamtastic what's annoying is that Nerf can stay in the spotlight if they get into the friggin half length high performance blasters. I have no idea why hasbro is so scared of going into the high performance half length!
I'm not picking up anything that lands on poop 🤣
@@Crunkboy415 lol
I think this makes more sense than the hyper ammo/ hyper line. I also like the look of it and dig the quick swap battery but wish it had a magazine option even if it was P90'ish.
For people here wanting to know if it hurts, I can tell you it still leaves marks. It feels like a less severe BB gun
Thank u
Mine is def broke then
@@bldshd189that was a year ago and i might of been overexagerating. Its good enough to have fun if u play shirtless and then it would hurt and you also have to make sure the gel pellets get enough water time so they are harder and thats when they would hurt. Other than that its like mid and there are better options for gel blasters.
I’m all in on it. No clean up is great. And I’m actually a fan of the lower fps. It makes playing with kids more realistic. Drac, I would totally buy mods for this. Please make something that helps the feeding which is my only complaint.
I like seeing a comment that specifies exactly why you have your opinion.
I feel like these types of blaster will make a mess if you play in your house. If you play outside then sure.
I am more positive on this because for the holidays both a Walmart and Target sold it for $60, so fun to play with
I recently picked this up at a thrift store for $0.50 (yes the Nerf Mythic was going for $0.50).
It was so cheap that I couldn’t really complain of the inconsistency.
$80 is understandably hesitant, but $0.50 is undeniably an instant buy.
bro wtf?? $0.50!!??
I'm predicting that since nearly every single firearm design is copyrighted/trademarked, Nerf is gonna release the goofiest strangest and most misshapen airsoft gun of all time if they ever decide to get into the airsoft market. Nerf is falling off hard now that there's actual competition from other companies, and stepping into a new market they have no experience with is going to make things worse for them.
IDK how I ended up here, but I'm glad I did! Super interesting even as someone who hasn't touched a NERF or airsoft gun in over a decade. I could see that useless bottom rail being a good place to mount a custom sling attachment. Would have the gun hanging at the perfect angle to grab n go whether you've got it on your front or back. Good backup gun.
Oh boy you should go back and see some of his OG content, hella nostalgia vibes from those for me
In my experience with the SplatterBall SB1200 and reading a couple of things, the gearbox does not complete its cycle if there are too many trigger pulls in semi auto. This can cause jams and ultimately breaking- like my last SB1200. What I'm getting at here is I'm guessing the reason why they decided a slower rate of fire on semi auto is for the gear to catch up and the trigger pull to not interrupt it.
It feels like nerf is experiencing the same pressure to perform from Hasbro as Wizards of the Coast
If you sand down the inside as well it helps with feed cone it down is all
That hopper design is a travesty. Also yeah so many better options at a fraction of the price. Hasbro does it again!
can someone mention one of these other options for someone who thinks these things are cool, but knows nothing about it? Wouldn't mind picking one up to mess around with
Didn't drac put it backwards though?
hey drac why not try to make like a p90 hopper mag for that that will be awesome and will give it a nicer profile
I got one as a gift and I found out that by rigging a soda bottle on top instead of the stock hopper, it makes a difference in how well it feeds. Mine used to have feeding problems all the time but now it doesn't jam as much because of the new hopper being more of a funnel shape I recommend if you buy this replace the stock hopper with a funnel shaped one.
Good to see that Drac is still making content always enjoyed your vids man so I’m glad to see you still make them ☺️
in Australia these are considered a firearm in every state besides Queensland
If I had the know how to do it, I'd make a custom agitated hopper for it cause it looks sweet for a Hasbro blaster, but with so many hiccups in the hopper system I feel like it's a requirement
He put it backwards lol
Just got one , they definitely don’t burst on impact , half of them get clogged and they barely shoot any distance and. Or much power behind it at all
Disappointed by the lack of actual accessible tactical rails. Shame they didnt even use an old Nstrike or Rival rail system. Let allow for barrel attachments.
Also why they dont have Nerf branding all over the eyewear is mind boggling.
Can’t wait to see people turn these into something completely different
An agitated hopper at the very least. Such is common in paintballing at higher volumes of throwing paint.
real steel upgrade kit when?
@@nickmason1775 i mean you could probably stuff a Zip 22 in that thang
@@thesimplerooster lol
'Bout time they got into the gel game!
You have the mag backwards which might be part of why you are having feeding issues
Thank you so much
Fun fact... In Australia, gel balls are classed as firearms ammunition... You can go to prison for possession of gel balls without a firearms licence...
This gel blaster could also be considered an actual firearm also. Gel blasters that look like a real firearm are illegal and you can also end up in prison for possession of one.
For memory, there are only 3 countries in the world where gel blasters are illegal one being Australia and another North Korea... So we are in good company.
Is there a reason why a gel ball that barely hurts anyone is considered as firearms ?
Is it because of many gel blasters being gun replicas or was there a case where gel blaster killed someone ?
@@phj9894 because gel blasters look like real guns to most people, and in Australia, if it looks scary, we make it illegal. No shit, we have a law banning "zombie" knifes.... Just exactly what a zombie knife is, I'm not sure, but they are fucking illegal!
@@buggiesandboars my country south korea also has quite strict laws about airsoft for being firearm replicas, but nerf blasters and gel blasters are not illegal no matter how powerful they are.
And anyone can buy slingshots and bows with no issue...
South korea is okay with anything as long as it doesn't look like the real gun, no matter how dangerous it is.
Only if you live in one of the states that has or recently had a super conservative state government. Here in Qld, they took a sensible approach and we still all own our gelblasters.
To be completely honest, I do not like Gel blasters, the ammo at least. They do not reduce the mess, they just put it off. and worse, they make all that chemicals based gel get into where ever you play. Likely playing outdoors, you harm the environment with the gel, worse if it's still dehydrated. Idk if the toy Gel ammo has changed in recent years, but Orbeez have caused enough issues in the past.
Most gel balls and BBs are biodegradeable nowadays.
literally non of that is true , stop lying
@@timothyscott1951 Have you NOT seen the guy who filled his bath tub with Orbeez and caused his whole house to have clogging issues and the orbeez getting into local waterways, causing even more issues? I even admitted that the ammo gel may be different from the Orbeez, but this event DID for a fact happen.
Why go with a gravity hopper when most of the sought after gel blaster's have magazines? I bought an full size MP5 with laser sight, torch, stock, magazine and sight for £49.99 on Amazon. It's an amazing accurate gun.
Nerf are good, but need to add something like this to it's Adult LTD range. It's mostly adults who buy these things, regardless of what anyone thinks.
Great review Lord Drac.😉🖖
Hasbro and con just seems to go together
Hasbruh is and always will be the biggest con artists in the toy industry.
That's modern takara because those masterpiece figures are getting worse than the main line figure
May be a dumb suggestion….
But what would happen if you take a LIGHT spray of vegetable oil/cooking spray to some of those gel beads?
Also, may be unadvisable, but is there a denser liquid that gels could absorb for more positive (but still exploding) impacts?
I actually tried this experiment and gel beads will not absorb oil
Wow, for $80 we get paint on _both_ sides!
The shell looks good, but it sounds like you can get much more bang for your buck elsewhere.
Thanks for.the honest review
i'd prefer a shell that looks like a more well known firearm like an ak or mp5/ump45, rather than a nerf unique shell
@@nickmason1775 I like the toy look, not keen on having a toy that looks like a firearm.
@@noneyabizz8337 tbh i dont really care if it looks stupid as hell if they release something with an hk slap or something i'd be fine with it
Learning why all paintball went to electric hoppers
I don't see myself getting into gel blasters but if I ever thrift one of these things for fairly cheap I guarantee I want to do something foamish with the shell.
Benchmarking this line, see if I can make one out of Legos and have it be the smallest profile elctric blaster possible. Not sure.
9:54 Nerf actually painted both sides!!!!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Thank you for the shout out to Coop. I've been wondering how he is doing. Take care.
No way he just mentioned death the kid
interested to know what are the best performing ones at that price range. You mentioned that there were some
You got the hopper on backwards , that’s prob why it’s not feeding the right way
Sure, this category has higher capacity or performance or whatever. I would still lean towards this for the shell. Not only is it slick and handsome, it is also very clearly Not A Real Gun. A few too many gel blasters are modeled on actual firearms and without orange tips for my comfort. This thing, I could actually feel comfortable taking it to a park.
Splatterball is also probably a good pick, I've just seen too many that are just a Skorpion with a drum mag and not much indicating it's a toy.
With like an insane toy camo on them yeah
With like an insane toy camo on them yeah
It looks like they shrunk the MX9 shell from black ops 4, and I love that
Whose genius idea was it to give the hopper a flat bottom?
Thanks!!!! This video totally helped me to decide which blaster not to buy my son for Christmas!!!
Will you be a doing a "Best Gel Blasters of 2022" video? I love your year end videos.
Excuse me but this blaster is completely unacceptable, How dare they put paint and logo on both sides of the blaster!!!
it's just crazy how far behind nerf is with the whole gel blaster thing. i recently bought a couple of SUPER CHEAP (15.99)gel blasters off Amazon.Totally expected them to be Trash but looks like the same that Nerf is putting out here for 3-5 times the price
they're probably gonna release a weird looking airsoft gun in a few years that's got the most unusual shell ever since anything else would be trademarked and would cost 600+ dollars
Lemme guess.... They don't use the standard 7-8 mm rounds are completely proprietory.
Also are they even full auto?
My god a gel blaster ad popped up and for a good 3 seconds I thought it was part of the video
Seems like Nerf failed in the gel blaster world 😩
Another absolutely phenomenal Review from Drac
Made it here after buying a MrBeast Nerf Pro Gelfire
I believe nerf made additional hoppers that you can put on the bottom rail.
A sealable door flap on the back of the hopper would've been better. Who wants to carry around a funnel?
Gel balls are 98% water and 2% polyacrylamide. Polyacrylamide is a polymer that is formed from units of acrylamide, a known neurotoxin. However, Polyacrylamide itself is not considered to be toxic, but is a controversial ingredient because of its potential ability to secrete Acrylamide. Polyacrylamide is of low toxicity but its precursor acrylamide is a neurotoxin and carcinogen. Thus, concerns naturally center on the possibility that polyacrylamide is contaminated with acrylamide.
It looks like a disaster waiting to happen to me.
it's an attractive package. the feeding problems, and amount of wobble in the ammo container is completely unacceptable at that price point. still very unsure about this entire product category. my thoughts will be massively swayed by what the gellets are made out of, if they're non-hazardous throughout their entire life cycle, and if they decompose readily
He has the hopper on backwards, with it on correct it doesn't wobble
When the stock is collapsed it almost looks like the alternator from Titanfall/Apex from the side.
Time for a paint job??
It kinda reminds me of the pp2000
I dont know about nerf Planet eclipse has the PAL system that agitates the hopper by tapping on it every round.
I think this gun can have a similar system too, tap the hopper from the bottom everytime you fire. Like bump over a groove or something.
Warning, modifying the splicer in any way is unlawful and punishable by law
This product may be mistaken as a fire arm used by law-enforcement officers or others
Altering the coloration and or markings required by federal law regulations so estimate the product look more like a firearm is dangerous, and maybe a crime
Brandishing or displaying the modified product in public because confusion, and maybe a crime
Mr. Beast's version is way better looking with its sleeker designed hopper.
I’ve got some kids next door that have been shooting these all over my backyard. Just want to know if I should worry about my dogs eating them?
Do they dissolve after it rains?
Can you review a Cosmoxtoy gel blaster, sirius cost the same amount, holds 1500 rounds, better reliability, hits 220fps and has 13 rounds per second, aquanant costs 30 dollars less, has same rate of fire, better velocity st 160-170 fps and better reliability
Honestly it's not too bad of a blaster it's really just the price that's the problem. If this thing was 30 or 35 dollars it wouldn't be so bad but 80 is too much to ask
i can tell you that for small soft air bb and gel plaster bbs you need a crono like the once the refs use on field small but small round ball reading
In Australia we need a gun licence to own a gel blaster, I kid you not.
I live in Queensland and I don't need a gun license to own a gel blaster. But then I am guessing you live in South Australia, so you can blame your previous state government for making ALL NERF BLASTERS a firearm.
@@ComradeJehannum I know something who now has a fire arm offence on there record because they owned a gel blaster, our state government will bleed u dry any way they can, even our spending fines a 4 times that of other states.
Man where i live there is always a war vs airsoft and orbeez
Nothing comes out of the gun. And when it does they break inside the barrel. The gels don't have any length coming out of the barrel. Is there something wrong or ???
Need to make a version that uses either a slanted hopper or something so iron sights or a sight can be used.
Mr beast made one for the same price
These things are painful as hell
Gel guns have existed for years.
Yeah like if nerf darts weren't that disposable...
"and then goes out, and means, that you can go from SMG, to something with a shoulder stock, like, *SMG with stock, SMG* "
that mug full of balls looked like something you see on forbiddensnacks
put a little peanut butter on the threading of the hopper and screw it on
Looks cool but not as good as others I either want a splatterball or one of the Chinese ones I saw a rlly cool looking black ice mp7
I got a dazzling 90 FPS on a different gel ball reader with the Gelfire
I wanna see the first mom who’s kid thinks it’s perfectly fine to fire 10k gel rounds indoor and has to clean that mess up.
I was very surprised and impressed it included a LiPo rather than the usual Li-Ion
I'm here for Caleb's video.
So the sale, import or ownership of any of these products into Victoria is classed as a major offence and you can face up to $3000 fine or small amount of jail time from what the police document's on what is classified as a lethal weapon law has as punishments.
got it in 50 on amazon on BF, nice piece, very nice piece
No way this is just "gel". The blasters in that Pro Promo sure looked half length.
that makes no sense 🤣🤣🤣🤣
And under some laws, because of gel blaster laws in Australian states...this is classified as a firearm 🤣
Do the x shot gel bullets fit the nerf guns they cost so much less
I'd probably buy it for some sort of cosplay because it looks like a Halo SMG
Where are kids supposed to use these gel blasters? Outside only?
I think we were all right to expect very little from this. I don't think anyone even expected this to hit the averages in performance, design or even consistency. this is the second review I've seen now that's said, "Yeah it looks cool but don't pick it up. it's too expensive and under performs". I expect them to lose money from this and I'm jut hopinf we don't get more half assed and foam flingers like we saw in ultra and elite 2.0.
I also don't expect gel ball blasters to catch on becuase they are illegal in a lot of areas. I have shot gel blasters as they seemed very similar to airsoft. I shot one that were replica firearms and functioned pretty much the same. I found it really cool but it was somethign with fleeting excitement. I also keep hearing stories about police confiscating and arresting people with them.
Considering I got a Splatrball sub package on clearance from a big box store and the orange model with the stock I think I have all the gel blasters I want aside from accessories for the two.
Rocking the Detroit gear my dude I love it. As a local in the metro Detroit area, represent🤘🙏
looks like a gun straight from borderlands :D
Try milky gel usually do well with all gel blaster
Nerf will do anything to not make half length darts and half dart blastets.
If i'm honest i feel like blaster like this don't fit with nerf as a whole, i rather have foam darts or balls(not hyper) or discs than gell balls one need to load up every time with water...
And for 80 it's just not worth it knowing in some countries these are forbidden by law to be sold...
The hopper may benefit from something like an oring
