NerfPro Gelfire Raid Blaster, Fire 5 Rounds at Once, 10,000 Gel Rounds, 800 Round Hopper, Eyewear, Toys for Teens Ages 14 & Up

There are only 2 blasters like this on the market and I think this one is going away. Stores are clearancing it out as has been Amazon and I will be sorry to see it go. The alternative is one from "Gel Blaster" brand that fires 6 soft gel balls at a time (the Nerf does 5) but it does so poorly and anemically and wildly, because it uses only 3 barrels with 2 per barrel fired at once. Soon that will be the only option, and this WONDERFUL Nerf one will be gone. So I recommend grabbing one NOW if you want a good one.It does require some priming (cocking) force because it's a strong spring about to fling 5 gel balls simultaneously. The loading is easy enough into a big hopper that fits ALL OTHER NERF gel ball blasters. Yippee!!! No small chamber to dump the balls into. EASY!And the feeding is pretty good. Almost every shot does send 5 gel balls downrange, and at equal speeds and in a nice V-shaped dispersion pattern, and giving VERY good distance - I almost wonder if there's a hop-up buried deep in each of the 5 (five!) barrels that spins the gels to achieve such good distance. Dispersion of shots at long distances is perfect because at least 1 of them will tag your target. This thing is FANTASTIC in a gel ball contest against other humans, ALL WEARING SAFETY GLASSES, PLEASE.It never jams and while it's a bit difficult to prime, it won't be for a 14+ year old that it's rated for. I've seen 8 year olds use it well and as long as they're supervised I think they can handle it. The blaster is HEAVY PLASTIC that's extremely strong. You could hammer nails with this thing. It's just DURABLE. Everything about it is SO WELL MADE.I think this is a one-of-a-kind thing that cost Nerf a small fortune to design and manufacture and it just didn't sell well enough at $59.99 where it started, and now it's less, until they're gone, and that will indeed happen. I don't recommend the alternative by Gel Blaster brand as it's creaky and thin and feels cheap, kind of like their other blasters which rely more on celeb endorsements than on quality.But NERF made a winner here, and I think you'll love it as much as I do. Wonderful blaster, great fun, and don't forget the SAFETY GLASSES and ADULT SUPERVISION so it's a good time without mishap. RECOMMEND HIGHLY!!!

My daughter recently introduced the whole family to the fun to be had with gel blasters. Wanting to diversify my arsenal I seen these at a box store on clearance. I was excited to find the same one even cheaper on Amazon. Aside from the family wars, I use these as a fun and valuable tool around the house and property. While this shotgun does bite a little harder than most of the other guns we had, that definitely comes in handy for wasps and carpenter bees and the 5 balls per shot gives me the additional coverage I need when taking on stinging insects. So far, I've killed over a dozen wasps and several carpenter bees as well as a hornet. I used to leave them be because the are pretty quick to detect the source of the threat and quickly confront it but as long as I have plenty of ammo in the hopper they are welcome to try. I have also pulled 3 wasp nests down, one as far away as about 8-10 yards after easily clearing its residents off. If you plan to use it like I do I strongly recommend getting fast and proficient because once they know you're out to fight they gladly oblige. Sometimes taking 10 to 15 shots to pull them out the air and end their rage fueled rampage. Works way better than the salt gun which wasn't bad but didn't have the range. Does a number on crane flies and mosquitos and house flies and horse flies as well as those green ones that live to hang out on dog poop. Check your local regulations regarding hunting over bait before you set up on a fresh dog turd. It will also do the trick on palmetto bugs and spiders. This gun seems to be close to the top speed you can achieve while maintaining accuracy. We have a faster one that seems to curve the balls flight path at a out 15 feet or so. I assume it's due to the lack of rifling and the raw speed of the projectile. I've not seen it with this one. Can't speak to accuracy in regard to the sights as I shoot it instinctively. It comes with some pic style rails that we made little lights we can clip on for hunting mosquitoes and palmetto bugs in the evening. I did find that not all gel balls perform as well as they should out of this platform. We have some glow in the dark ones that are seemingly engineered to be a hair smaller than the others which work great in it's intended platform but them and the regular ones if not allowed to fully expand will roll out the barrel. Not a gun issue at all, an ammo or operator issue. I have enough of these now that everybody I'm the family has one and can use it to defend our way of life. Be careful shooting around flowers and garden plants as it effortlessly rips through all of the plants that bugs like to hang around. Happy hunting.Edit- I have never done this before but wanted to stop in and say this thing and the 3 other identical units I have are still going strong. My wasp count is nearing 50 for the season, while not all fell to the scatter gun a majority have. Also caught a few more carpenter bees in the act of eating my garage and a host of palmetto bugs from the tops of the sewer drains at sundown. It has also claimed the lives of leaf eating garden agitators. The ammo hopper on a couple became a little loose after dozens of reloads but can't really complain with the usage they've seen. A single wrap of tightly wound electrical tape on the threads remedied the issue. We now make point to walk the yard several times a day. No clue who all these wasps belong to but if they care about their well-being they will keep them out of my air space. Got a bunch of them big flying ants landing on me and my welding project as I type this. Time to thin the herd.

Purchased for my grandsons birthday, I soaked the beads ahead of time, needless to say we played for hours, I bought 2, we went through 5000 of the beads, they come 5000 per package, the guns are quite big, nice bright colors, we had no jamming or clogging, we're very accurate considering they shoot 3 beads at once, my grandson is 6 and found it easy to use and they are a nice sturdy quality. So for the worry warts about gel beads, as I was one of those worriers, as soon as these beads made contact w anything the literally fall apart into pieces you couldn't pick up if you tried. Once my grandson had to get a bath my son and I started playing with them ourselves, now to an adult the beads don't really hurt unless your closer than 10 or so feet, we had the kids shoot logs and targets. They do shoot really far and came with safety glasses. Have fun.. so worth the money
