Gel blasters are designed as a safe toy. With a few basic rules, they're significantly lower-risk than airsoft, paintball, or even frisbee. Here's everything you need to know.
Rule #1: Always eye protection
Gel balls are soft and break apart on impact, but they still don't belong in your eye. Protective goggles are mandatory for every player and any bystander nearby.
Every Blastero blaster includes goggles in the box. If you need more, you'll find them in accessories.
Rule #2: Don't play alone
Always play with at least one other player who knows what they're doing. Solo backyard fun is fine, but full battle scenarios require at least two players.
Rule #3: Set ground rules
Before every game, agree with your crew on:
- Field boundaries — where in-play, where out
- Minimum engagement distance — we recommend 3 meters for frontal shots
- The "out" signal — how to call a hit
- No face shots at close range
Rule #4: Age-appropriate
EU regulations recommend a minimum age of 14. Younger children can play under a parent's supervision — we also carry smaller blasters (like the Deagle Skull) designed for younger players.
Rule #5: Respect the environment
Our gel balls are fully biodegradable — they break down in a few weeks. That doesn't mean you can leave them anywhere:
- Never fire at animals, birds, or into ponds
- Don't play on someone else's land without permission
- In parks and public spaces, respect local rules
And finally — have fun
Safety rules aren't there to kill the fun. They're there to make sure the fun lasts. Stick to the basics and gel blasters will become your favorite backyard sport.
