GEL BLASTER ACCESSORIES AND CUSTOMIZATION
Can gel blaster guns be modified?
Of course, gel blasters can be modified, and many enthusiasts enjoy customizing them. The most common ways to upgrade gel blasters are to improve performance, enhance their aesthetic appearance, or add safety features.
But before customizing your gel blaster, make sure to take the following factors into consideration:
-
Comply with all relevant local regulations to ensure your customization doesn’t violate any laws.
- Customizations can potentially increase the power of your gel blaster, making it more dangerous. Always ensure safety standards are maintained.
- Modifying your gel blaster may void the manufacturer’s warranty, so weigh the benefits against the potential loss of warranty coverage.
- Ensure that the upgraded components are of high quality and compatible to avoid damaging your gel blaster or causing a malfunction.
- High-powered customizations may require enhanced protective gear for safe use.
What accessories are available for gel blaster guns?
Accessories for safety purposes
Before considering any other type of customization, always prioritize safety. Customizing your gel blaster experience begins with enhancing your protection and that of other players, while ensuring compliance with safety standards. With that in mind, here are the key safety accessories to consider:
-
Tactical Goggles, essential for protecting the eyes from gel balls during gameplay
-
Tactical Balaclava and face masks, to protect face from direct impact
-
Tactical Gloves, to protect hands from abrasion
-
Tactical Vest to protect vital areas from impact
Accessories to improve performances
Some of the most common accessories available for performance improvement include:
- Higher-quality or metal versions of the gearbox to enhance durability and efficiency.
-
Batteries to boost firing speed and power. A high-capacity LiPo battery can improve the gel blaster's overall performance by providing faster trigger response and more consistent firing. However, before upgrading the battery, ensure that the gel blaster's internal components can handle the increased power to avoid damage
- A barrel to enhance accuracy and range. A tighter barrel provides better compression, leading to more consistent shots, while a longer barrel helps stabilize the gel ball for longer distances.
Accessories for aesthetic customizations
The most common customization is painting, as it can give your gel blaster a unique look. Of course, always ensure that the paint is non-toxic and safe for the material, humans, and the environment.
Other external accessories, such as foregrips, or holographic sight, can also enhance your gel blaster's personalized appearance.
