Nerf Gelfire Mythic MrBeast: As mentioned earlier, this Orbeez gun is a must-have for collectors who appreciate unique and special-edition toy guns. It offers the same performance as the Gelfire Mythic but prioritizes a stylish look over ammo capacity. Yes. As you can see, the environmental hazard posed by gel balls is pretty low. You can still mitigate the risks further by playing a bit responsibly. Here are a few tips that I’d personally recommend: The Nerf Pro Gelfire Mythic? It’s like a treasure chest of value for your money. The unique design and cool features alone make it worth every dollar. And even though it might not be the most powerful blaster in terms of performance, it more than makes up for it with its customizability and ease of use.

However, I came across a curious problem. There were a relatively high number of double shots during testing – firing two gel balls still gets velocities over 100fps, but the range and accuracy is hindered. This occurred around once every five or six shots, but seems to be based on how fast you prime the blaster. Slower primes will leave the path from hopper to barrel open longer, leading to that extra round loading. Internals Honestly, I didn’t set my performance expectations too high, given the Gelfire Mythic’s initial muzzle velocity of below 150 FPS. It’s not in the heavyweight category like the Gel Blaster Starfire XL or the SplatRball SRB1200 in terms of firepower. But here’s the twist – it outperformed my expectations during the tests. One screw holds the gearbox down in the shell, and you’ll have to remove it before a full disassembly is possible. Inside the blaster, you see all the things you’d expect: a main board with a three-position switch, plugs for the battery wires and the motor, etc. There is a cycle position switch, for stopping the system in the rest position after you let go of the trigger. Depending on sunlight and other factors that affect the pace at which the splatter balls break down, the process can still take two to five years. Don’t Waste Ammo: Avoid wasting ammo when playing with gel blasters. Choose your firing modes wisely and work on your accuracy to reduce waste. If you have a Gel Blaster Surge XL or Starfire XL, you may use the triple-fire burst mode to conserve ammo while maintaining a high fire rate.But there’s a little hiccup – the Orbeez gun sports a 7.4v 500mAh rechargeable battery. It’s not the most impressive when you consider that some cheaper blasters offer higher battery capacity. We managed about 1.5 hours of playtime, which should suffice for most missions. However, during extended gel blaster parties, it might just run out of ammo. High-quality paintballs are filled with polyethylene glycol, which is biodegradable. Cheaper paintballs, however, sometimes use oil-based paint. Not only is it bad for the environment, but the way they are produced isn’t very eco-friendly either. The polymers used to make the gel beads cannot be recycled. Once you are done playing, you’ll simply have to discard the used gel balls. Once again, the gel beads are made of a biodegradable superabsorbent polymer. While it does take some time (several years), they still break down much faster than other types of polymers. Hence, you won’t be leaving behind plastic waste in the long run. 3. Easier To Clean There are two Rival/Hyper rails on the blaster. One sits under the barrel, the other is placed at the bottom of the grip. We have yet to see a use for them, though. At some point, I’d hope Hasbro made attachments to go with the product line. Spare hopper holders, for instance. The safety sits under the trigger.

Hence, gel blaster balls are completely free of potentially harmful chemicals. Rest assured that you won’t be poisoning the environment with toxic chemicals when playing with a gel blaster. 2. Biodegradable Ammo As per FDA, sodium polyacrylate does not pose any significant acute toxicity to aquatic species like bacteria, algae, daphnia, and fish under USEPA toxicity classification guidelines. They even suggest that sludge containing adsorbed or precipitated sodium polyacrylate (concentration 0.6 mg/kg) may be landfilled or used as agricultural fertilizer. While gel blasters are not bad for the environment, I should also mention that there are some of reasons why their ammo aren’t 100% eco-friendly. So, now that you know that gel blaster balls do have a few downsides, you might be wondering if it’s best to get a different type of toy gun. Well, let’s compare the environmental impact of gel blaster guns with that of other toy guns popularly used for similar games. These are hands down the most eco-friendly toy guns (even more than gel blasters) you can get since they do not use any form of ammunition at all. Instead, laser tag guns shoot beams of harmless infrared light that are detected by receptors on the gear worn by the players.

As long as you do your best to mitigate the ecological impact the way I explained, there’s nothing to worry about gellets. NERF PRO GELFIRE BLASTERS: They fire hydrated rounds that burst on impact and deliver high-performance blasting to ignite your competitive advantage. Ages 14 and up As young kids tend to ingest everything due to their size and texture, most gel blaster brands make sure that these beads are 100% non-toxic and free from acrylamide.
