It is so fun to shoot these gel blaster. They are powerful and up close may potentially cause harm. The one I initially recieved worked for a day and then stopped working the next day. However, it was so easy and fast to get a replacement. Now it is working great and I literally have shot over 5 thousands rounds.Lots of plastic to it and sometimes seems as though it may just break apart on you. But handling it with some care will eleviate that concern.Overall, fun to shoot.This blaster was easy to assemble and shoots great. The range and power are excellent, this blaster also come with bonus accessories. One problem is that the switch or writing for safe and semi are in the wrong place. Other than that this blaster is okay.Best plastic Orbeez gun that I own. Shoots fantastically and has thicker plastic than other gel guns. I compared it to my friend’s orbeez gun ( SplatterBall) and it was a little bit slower like .05 seconds. The instructions, the video explains everything. But overall it is a great gun.This was our introduction to the new Genre of tactical play. We have experience with paintball and airsoft and were curious when we saw some social media around this new type of sport. We figured we'd give it a shot and here is our experience with it.The box we received everything in was a plain no labeled box which is fine for us. Everything was packaged well and nothing arrived broken. We laid everything out on the table and the assembly was really simple and straightforward. Per the instructions, we charged the battery and placed one package of the orbeez in a bucket to soak. It took 4 of the 4-6 hours to reach the 7-8mm orbeez size required for the unit to function correctly. We used a digital caliper to ensure size and took a random sample pool of about 5-7 orbeez.Once it seemed everything was ready we connected the cylinder lipo battery behind the rubber buttstock and slid it into the stock covering with the rubber end so it wouldn't fall out. Provided was a "funnel" that appeared should be attached to a container as it had a threaded end like a cap. It served its purpose though as a funnel and we loaded the clip through the opening per instruction. Here's a tip, use a finger on the hand holding the clip to cover the round hole (Feed hole) and shake the clip to settle the orbeez in them. Sometimes you believe it's filled but a quick shake settles everything allowing you to load more. we loaded the clip and were on our way!As others have mentioned, there is no semi-automatic mode shooting on this, there is only fully automatic. The "Safety" operates on two of the 3 positions. It shoots pretty well but any real accuracy is completely out of the door. These are not precision instruments but entertainment and it served that purpose for us. We had fun shooting at the provided target. We were very skeptical about the 60ft distance rating but with a small arch, we were actually reaching those distances! Sometimes it takes a few seconds after a reload to actually start to shoot and sometimes it required a small shake to get going again as well. Don't worry, you will see some breaks in the barrel but it should clean up quickly. We love that the targets pop up automatically but please be careful with the targeting system. If you accidentally interfere with its operation, it will mess up. My son accidentally kept one of the targets from rising and we had to open it up to reset everything to work correctly!The detail on the gun is fantastic. Don't expect it to hold up under heavy abuse as it is completely plastic. The sites are useless but much appreciated for the aesthetics of the Rifle. Please always use the orange toy indicator tip and be mindful about your children and having this in public. Be responsible, have fun as it was intended, and have a great time. These orbeez ammunition is not nearly as painful as airsoft or paintball but will sting at close distances of about 5-6 ft and remember they are small enough to cause eyesight damage so wear protective lenses at the very least.I hope this review was helpful and I think this is a fun alternative to nerf-style play. This is probably the top 2 of my favorite style of guns I've seen and the target is fun to play with. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Happy Deal Hunting!It does work and pretty well at that, but it's not perfect. It has a safety switch on both sides, like it is ambi but it isn't, only the left side works. It lists as semi, auto, and safe but it's only auto, there is no semi. Also on the one I received, safe and auto fire and semi is actually safe which won't fire.It does have a front and rear sight but they aren't that great, the front is fixed but the rear is completely adjustable but is so loose that it doesn't really work. In having said that, it's a gel blaster so accuracy isn't really a thing anyways.It's fun (maybe a little expensive) but not for kids or those that are hard on things. The plastic is not that durable and this can easily be broken. Now normal use it won't/shouldn't break but one good drop on pavement and it will most likely crack if not fully break, so not good for younger kids even with supervision.I wasn’t expecting the blaster to be so big! I’m 5’2 in height so my arms aren’t very long… but I wasn’t able to properly hold it without removing the stock piece. The power on this one is for sure stronger than the ones meant for kids. It has a nice sleek look as well.Extremely detailed. This “blaster” is fun for any gun enthusiast who likes to shoot in their backyard. Very powerful and fast. Shoots water gel beads vs foam darts/pellets/BBs. Shoots pretty accurate-Target is pretty cool, resets after hitting. Overall a very nice product.
