ARE GEL BLASTERS SAFE FOR KIDS?

At Briliantz, we believe that gel blasters can offer an enjoyable experience for individuals of all ages, including kids. But while they can be a thrilling way for kids to enjoy outdoor activities, it's essential to prioritize safety. 

Many manufacturers offer models specifically designed for younger users, featuring reduced power and lightweight construction. However, even these kid-friendly options pose potential risks, particularly to the eyes, and proper supervision and safety gear are recommended. 

Here are a few factors to consider when deciding if a gel blasters are appropriate for kids:

Supervision

To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for your child, always supervise them while they are using gel blasters. Keep the toys out of reach of other children and pets to prevent accidents.

Key supervision guidelines

• Constant supervision is crucial to ensure safe and responsible use.
• Store gel blasters in a secure location when not in use.
• Prevent access to the toy guns by younger children or pets.

Safety

Our primary concern when it comes to gel blasters and kids is safety. Of course, parents or guardians should also assess their child's maturity level before allowing them to use a gel blaster.

From protective eyewear to ergonomic designs, even if the gel blasters we offer on our website are designed with safety features to ensure a secure and enjoyable experience for users of all ages, please review the following  key safety guidelines to minimize the risk of accidents and injuries during play:

• Eye protection (goggles) is highly recommended since the gel balls can still cause injury if they hit the face or eyes.

Toy gun for kids: Gel Blasters vs. Paintball vs. Airsoft

Gel Blasters are toy guns designed to shoot water-based gel balls. They're a safer alternative to paintball and airsoft because the biodegradable gel balls are softer and break apart on impact. They're great for kids who enjoy outdoor activities and want a fun, less painful shooting experience and easier to clean up.
