RIFLES

What Are Gel Blaster Rifles?

Gel blaster rifles are toy rifles that shoot water-soaked gels or very thin superabsorbent polymer water beads. They are lifelike toy rifles without the weight of real rifles. The gel balls inside are fired through an air pump inside the gel blaster.

If you don’t know what a rifle is, it’s basically a gun with a long, spirally-grooved barrel that’s intended to make a bullet or bullets spin and have greater accuracy over a long distance. Most rifles are fired from shoulder level. 

If you want the feel of real-life rifles, you’ve come to the right page. TacToys gel blaster rifles were designed to have the look and feel of rifles for maximum enjoyment of the players.
