Gleetoy Electric AKM47 Gel Blaster Gun

My boys extremely likes this gun! He shoots it all the time and is extremely safe and gels are very kid friendly. We’ll worth the money.

Our old house was perfect for Nerf battles. We had blinds set up and dozens of guns and ammo stashes around the house. But we moved, and the new house just isn't well suited for indoor Nerf play. No problem, move everything outside, right? Yeah, until the first time I ran over Nerf darts with a lawnmower and made foam snow. Time to rethink our family battles.

This is when we discovered gel blasters. After doing tons of review reading, I settled on the AKM47 blasters by Gleetoy. I honestly couldn't tell you how much better or worse than other blasters they are, because I've never shot any others, but I like the aesthetics. I can say that they are impressively accurate, very consistently functional, fairly priced, highly rated, and an absolute joy to play with. We've never run the batteries completely down in a single session, and we've played with them for hours on end.

I really like the blowback action and high rate of fire. Our family often shoots firearms, so it's not easy to impress the kids with toy guns, but these stand out as well-designed and realistic (for something that is obviously designed to be a toy). They can be used with or without the stock, and the hopper is held in place by a removable adapter that slides onto the rail. I do wish the hopper didn't completely block the sights, but the mag/drum-fed gel blasters are just not rated very well, so I'll take something that actually works. You just can't beat gravity, as any paint baller well knows.

My other favorite feature is the removable battery. With these things getting daily use, I'd rather not have a pile of guns on the counter constantly recharging. The fact that I can keep all the batteries topped off with a USB multi port charger is fantastic, and keeps the wife very happy, which keeps us all very happy.

We've gone through tens of thousands of gel balls, and rarely had any issues with jams. Usually just shaking the gun a little clears things up. Only once did we have a broken gel ball that got stuck right before the firing mechanism that we had to push down into the chamber to clear it (we used a toothpick). Otherwise, all four of ours have worked flawlessly and are incredibly fun to play with.

The biggest problem is that I'm probably going to have to buy more. All the neighborhood kids want to play with them and there aren't enough to go around!

I bought 7 of these for a birthday party. I had bought a couple extra of other brands as backups but never needed them. They all worked perfectly and the batteries lasted the whole 2.5 hours (they stopped briefly to eat and again for cupcakes, but they hardly spent anytime with food before going right back to playing). They fit in very well with our group of big kids. Most wore hoodies to minimize stings, but many ditched the long sleeves eventually. The glasses are definitely a must, so it is great that they are included. We soaked about half the beads in open coolers over night and had more than enough ammo. So much better than paintball- hurts less, you’re not out when you get tagged, and there is ample ammo.
