Gel Blasters are available in a range of different styles and models, including manual, gas and electric blasters. If you’re unsure which you’d like to buy, this guide will break down the pros and cons of each style so that you can make the best possible decision, taking your gameplay to the next level!
Manual Gel Blasters.
Manual Gel Blasters require the player to manually cock and reload their pistol after each round is fired. This emulates the experience of using a real, manual pistol, bringing great authenticity to gameplay. Sometimes referred to as Spring Gel Blasters, they’re most often used by beginners who are finding their footing in the world of gel blasting. This is because they are relatively simple and easy to use, allowing you to get up to speed quickly!
Pros:
- Easy to use, especially for first-timers or beginners.
- Low maintenance and easy to take care of.
- Cheaper and more cost-effective when compared to other styles.
Cons:
- Typically less powerful than gas and electric blasters
- Require manual reloading and cocking
- Slower firing rate
Best Manual Gel Blasters.
We have a wide range of manual gel blasters available on our websites, catering to all levels of experience, preferences and budgets.

If you are looking for a more high-end model, you’ll love the Desert Eagle 50cal Extended Rail Metal Manual Pistol Gel Blaster, known for its hyper-realism in terms of both design and functionality. With a 3kg weight, it is also the most substantial manual gel pistol on the market.

In addition to this, placing an order today also means that you’ll receive a free pack of 10,000 gel balls!
Gas Gel Blasters.
Gas Gel Blasters typically use compressed air (or gas) to fire the gel balls from the blaster itself. Again, this lends itself to a certain level of authenticity due to the fact that gas gel blasters boast a realistic recoil, which allows you to become a little more immersed in the gameplay. They also allow for impressive accuracy, which means they’re great for both competitive and tactical gameplay. While you can quickly get to grips with using them through practice, they are often favoured by more experienced gel blasters as opposed to beginners.
Pros.
- A realistic aesthetic, recoil and shooting experience
- High-performance rifles known for exceptional accuracy
- Impress firing rates (often above 300 FPS)
Cons
- Harder to use than manual and eclectic gel blasters, meaning they are not really suited for beginners
- Require a higher level of maintenance than other models
- More expensive than other models, both in terms of the initial purchase and ongoing fees (gas canisters)
Best Gas Gel Blasters.
We have a wide range of Gas Gel Blasters available on your website, whether you’re trying to improve your skill level or have been saving up for a high-end model for some time. Again, we’ve worked to cater to a wide range of budgets and styles.
For example, if you’re looking for a more cost-effective gas gel blaster, you’ll love the CO2 Full Block Back AKS 47 Gel Blaster. Priced at just $679.99, this gel blaster is known for its incredibly impressive firing rate (300+ FPS), which is sure to make you one of the most envied (or feared) players during your next gel blasting session. After all, it means that you’re able to pair high precision and accuracy with truly unbeatable firing speeds.
If you’d prefer a more high-end or custom model, we’ve got you covered there, too. For example, the Custom M4 Import Extreme Tactical Gas Blow Back Rifle Gel Blaster is the perfect combination of both style and precision. For example, this one-of-a-kind gel blaster rifle has a firing rate of 320-350+ FPS, something which is difficult to find!
Electric Gel Blasters.
Electric Gel Blasters are a little different from the other styles included in this list because they do not need to be reloaded during gameplay. Once the trigger has been pulled, the next round of gel balls are ready to go - which means that you can fire numerous shots in quick succession. For this reason, they are arguably the easiest form of gel blasters to use, making them a great choice for beginners or younger players.
Pros
- Automatically reloads when the trigger is fired
- Relatively low maintenance
- Inexpensive when compared to other models
- Reliable and accurate firing
Cons
- Less realistic or authentic when compared to the styles listed above
