Gel blasters/surge can really take over the Nerf gun market only thing holding them back is they need to make more gel blasters that look like this or toys cuz at a glance people can instantly tell it's a toy and that helps for safety concerns of parents. That's one of the main reasons Nerf gun sale so well
Oh I think they’ll always be room for both. Gel is fun but super inconvenient and not for indoors. I do like more toy shaped gel blasters, Gel Blaster and Nerf and UnlocX had great non-forearm or sci-fi options :)
very sweet! I saw the glow version in a local Target. I was very tempted 😂 Again, I still haven't made the jump to any gel blasters. I'm thinking maybe I'll be able to get them cheaper in the winter. That's when I'll pull the trigger. (pun intended 🤣)
Thanks! I even actually say in my full review coming soon, I’ll always be a Nerf guy, but I’ve grown to appreciate gel and it has a time and place where it’s fun!
You could just shine a flash light right up to the hopper to get the glow in the dark balls charged and than shoot if you didn't want to get the activator.
I still like the magazine fed gel blasters as apposed to the big pod on top. I have the one put out by prime time/dart zone actually have 2 the little Pistol springer single shot which is also really cool for a single shot. Anyway yeah I can't stand the gawdy pod on top...just my preference though other than that pretty cool, BUT HELLA EXPENSIVE!! Like $140 at Target!!! I'm sorry buy I'll take my Dart Zone gel blasters!!
Whoa, that’s expensive, but right now Walmart and other places online show 89 US and 99 US for the one with the glow activator which is decent I think. I also love the pulsar. The springer Dartzone one I have has never fired well, the gel explodes. I keep meaning to mention that to them, it might be defective
What I’m really impressed with is features, I want to see these in more… everything. 3 mode select fire, adjustable power and LED battery level indicator?! Pretty cool.
@@maritimefoam what a lot of people don't know is the spring is fully adjustable in their gel blasters to make them really snappy and more powerful. This makes it easier and it's a selling point for me but the Pulsar Pro spring I believe is in the grip and fully adjustable from the bottom of it. Which is one of the reasons I like that one too.
Honestly, I love everything in this blaster except ONE small thing - the shell. Seriously, consider me crazy, but I don’t like how the muzzle is much thicker than the center of the blaster I get that it’s made to look like a bigger version of the original Surge, but I wish they designed it in a different way I am a pretty aesthetic guy, that’s why if I am not satisfied by the looks of the weapon, I am not likely to buy it… What do you think on that?
I get it for sure! I don’t mind it if I put myself in a fallout video game head space haha, but it’s not maybe the choice I would have made? Easy for me to say :) it’s different and stands out I’ll give it that!
@@maritimefoam yea, this is the only one which has 3 firing modes at the same time and adjustable power, and I agree they must be given credit for that ☝🏼
Nice! I gotta try and come play sometime if you do! It can be turned down to the same FPS as the surge, but even 200+ with Gel isn’t that bad, but would make my kids grumpy close range haha
@@maritimefoam We would love that, remember, if you’re ever in our area again, you’re more then welcome at our house! Ya, maybe for myself, I would use it for sure, but for that money, sorry kiddos!
Is it normal for the surge to not even work on single shot? Like it will only jam if it’s on single and full auto doesn’t even shoot every one it jams half of them. I returned it
It's cool I can't deny that but it's still a gel blaster so I wouldn't be able to buy one for myself I have a dog that already tries to eat my Nerf I don't need her to try and eat the gel
I picked one of these up today at Walmart. It was on sale for 80 bucks and came with the glow in the dark attachment. Complete steal and it's so powerful!!

You know it’s powerful when it’s lowest fps is the original model’s highest.

id say the same thing abt splatrball ngl they also do not have enough guns

I like the way it looks besides the hopper, but it’s pretty complex to have mag fed gel ball blasters and they can be more prone to jamming
Just ordered one! It’ll be my first gel blaster, can’t wait!
same!!
I just bought my son one for his birthday. He loves it.
It's awesome.
That’s great!
Gun looks super dope👍🏼👍🏼. Not super into gel blasters but u made it seem super cool🆒✨

Thank you! You usually don’t have to wait long lol
YES MY MAN, WE OUT HERE WITH THE GEL BLASTER GANGGG. I have the STARFIRE XL!!!
Haha, nice! It’s very fun
Alright you got me! I'm gonna go buy a Gel Blaster now! 😆
Haha, they have their place. I’ve come around them for casual fun on a nice day. Still a Nerf guy for life tho :)
This is AWESOME!
Can’t disagree. I was impressed!

Agree, the smaller, cheaper ones do pretty much the same thing…

I also love the pulsar. The springer Dartzone one I have has never fired well, the gel explodes. I keep meaning to mention that to them, it might be defective
This one is definitely a lot higher FPS than anything but the UnlocX and the Pulsar, but, agree definitely not a must have in order to enjoy Gel :)
And totally get the mag preference, I’ve just have bad luck with feeding on bottom fed cheaper blasters. The Pulsar and UnlocX mags work well.
The Surge XL, I forgot what this was called but I was checking it out at Walmart. Love how it looks.

@@m00k61 um… I didn’t know that lol. Take away my RUclipsr card! Well, good on GelBlaster for making it so obvious!
@@maritimefoam just glad to pass it on. Buddy of mine loves the Pulsar and modded his a bit. Showed me some cool stuff about it.

Yes
That's pretty cool.
I’m pretty tickled by it
@@maritimefoam I will pretty much buy anything that glows in the dark or is black light reactive LOL.
I Saw these at Sam’s on clearance for 17.99 early last week.
Good price!
I got it for Christmas
nice
Yikes! That’s a Gel Blaster! I’m starting up a Gel Ball league in my area this summer, I think this is a little to much for that, still cool!
Nice! I gotta try and come play sometime if you do!

Seems annoying that the hopper is right in the sight picture
It is, but, the capacity is so high you end up tracing a lot of fire. With both eyes open, eh, it's ok to aim :)
Is it normal for the surge to not even work on single shot? Like it will only jam if it’s on single and full auto doesn’t even shoot every one it jams half of them. I returned it
Certainly not normal
Shaddap an take my money!!!!
Ha
If it had a drum mag are clip it would be better I might get it
After trying many many many gel blasters I prefer this hopper style but I get that
It's cool I can't deny that but it's still a gel blaster so I wouldn't be able to buy one for myself I have a dog that already tries to eat my Nerf I don't need her to try and eat the gel

Yup! Pretty fun!
The whole starfire is cheaper than the surge so the starfire is the best
It’s my birthday today
Happy birthday!
Bro its 120 doller
Is it a gel made by nerf 😐🤔
This one isn’t, Nerf makes one called the Mythic. I’ll be reviewing at some point soon.
Shoot I can kill mice with my hydro strike pulsar pro
:(
@@maritimefoam it is really effective and is quick up to 10 ft roughly
My box came with the starfire attachment is not supposed to do that
What is that?
@@maritimefoam I meant starfire
@@Mister.purple ahhhhh, there is a “day and night” version of it, maybe that’s what you got!
170 is still hard💀
Ha ha, yeah, it can be at close range! Full face masks recommended!
@@maritimefoam your average nerf gun shoots at 70 to 100 fps
@@scoobydoo6591 I am…. Aware :D
The top feed hoppers are awful.
Well, I dunno that I have had much more luck with other types of hoppers.
