Holy cow, this thing has some power to it!! It's awesome! My 14 year old son loves it, but it's a bit too much power for my 8 year old only because he can be less than thoughtful on what he chooses to aim at. This is definitely an older kid toy, or a dad toy. ha. I love that it doesn't eat batteries! It's rechargeable. It does sting a bit when you get hit, if you're too close. So wear layers and definitely have eye protection. And know that the hydration pouch only holds 500 beads, and they take 4+ hours to hydrate fully. This can be frustrating but it also limits how quickly kids go thru the water beads. So I'm not complaining. Having only 500 at a time keeps the toy fun and they never bore of it. You could always hydrate beads in a bowl. There's 20 packets of beads included. Also note that the glasses are only necessary if you're also being shot at, or in a room where beads could ricochet. But I'm glad they were included because we plan to get more of these so my son can play with friends. There are two things I'd change about the design: 1- offer it in different colors so siblings can play together and not argue over whose is whose. 2- provide a small funnel because pouring the dehydrated beads from a flat packet into a small opening for the hydration pack can be frustrating. We made a funnel with an index card. Over all, it's awesome. It's like paint ball, meets nerf hyper, meets water guns. It's such a great toy to keep my older kids playing outside and off video games!

Eye protection. Looks fake

I received this gun for free in exchange for a review! Wow, this gel blaster gun is so much fun! We have four children ages 10-18 and we all enjoyed playing with this, lol! Instructions we're easy to understand and as a parent I love that it is rechargeable and we don't have to buy batteries. We mainly used it for shooting at a target since we only have one. It's not the most accurate but super fun to shoot. I did let the oldest two kids shoot at each other... they said it stung a little if they got to close. It's very powerful which is what makes it so fun to shoot. Just don't aim at people's faces. I really like that this came with safety glasses. I definitely need to get a second one so they can battle properly. And more beads. I would definitely recommend this gel zone pro!

I received this product for my my kids to enjoy outside, keep them out the house. They were so excited to play with this, my 10 year old got it out together and put in charger. He said it was easy. They are ready to have endless fun!

I received this complementary in exchange for my honest review! It came with instructions that were easy to understand. This blaster was a lot of fun for my kids ages 12, 14 and 18! The kids mostly used it for shooting at things in the yard since we just had the one. You do have to prepare the beads ahead of time but it super easy to do. I definitely recommend this product for older kids!

I received this gel blaster for my kids and they honestly love it. Its super fun and it exceeded my expectations honestly. I loved the gel beads, the shooting mechanism is intense but fun. Great toy!

I knew my son would be excited when I received this Gel Zone Pro Hydrax gel bead blaster in exchange for a review. He and his friends got into playing with gel bead blasters last summer and this gem is an awesome asset to his small arsenol of gel bead guns. Great color combination of teal, orange, and black. The brightly colored decal on the side makes this gun stand out amongst others. Because safety is extremely important when it comes to toys like this, I love that it has a safety switch and also comes with eye gear. Everything you need for hours of fun comes with this set. The battery is rechargable and comes with a usb cable charger. I love that it comes with a hydration pouch so you can easily, without any mess, hydrate the gel beads. My son was also quite impressed that this blaster comes with 10,000 gel beads. This gel blaster is a fun way for your older boys to engage with their friends and get outside to play!
