How long does it take for splat balls to soak?

  • The recommended age is 14 and older.

  • In the case of the SRB400, in full-auto mode, up to 8 rounds per second are sent downrange at a velocity of up to 200 fps. Hydrated beads can vary in size from 7.3 – 7.8 mm can affect fps.

  • 1 Use with 500 pack of ammo 2 Pour in and fill full of water

    3 Takes 3-4 hours to hydrate to size ½ – 1-inch balls

  • Our SplatRBall products have been tested to be used with our SplatRBall certified ammo. Using other ammo that is not SplatRBall certified might damage the blaster and will void the warranty.

  • There is a pin in the magazine that keeps the beads from falling out. You will need to remove the pin to unload the beads from the magazine. The magazine has a wheel that pushes the beads up when the beads are in the tube. If beads are not in the tube but are in the magazine, it will not advance. You would need to refill the magazine again to push beads into tube to start it advancing again. When done shooting, unload after each use.

  • There are several reasons that your SplatRBall Blaster won’t shoot. One is that the ammo was not left to hydrate in water long enough. Let ammo hydrate for four hours minimum. Another reason the blaster is not sending ammo downrange is that the magazine gear is clogged. Look through the semi-transparent magazine to check for ammo fragments around the gear. To clear the clog, grip the magazine at the bottom and sling it in a downward motion (don’t drop it!). Ammo fragments should fall out.

  • Turn the blaster upside down and locate a small hold in the bottom of the pistol grip. Insert a 2mm hex allen wrench into the hold and tighten.

  • Check for bead fragments inside the gun, not just the magazine, if that doesn’t clear and correct the issue please contact us through the form on splatrball.com or by calling (479) 621-4200.

  • Do Not Use the battery. If your battery or wires show any wear or decline in performance, it must be taken to a battery disposal facility and you will need another. If the gun is under warranty, please call (479) 621-4200.

  • We are sorry that your item arrived broken, please contact us through the form on splatrball.com or by calling (479) 621-4200, press 1 to speak to a customer service representative. We stand behind our products and always take care of our customers.

  • We recommend that you do not use any other ammo other than orange SplatRBall beads. Utilizing any other ammo can result in damage to the product which will not be covered under warranty.

  • If you keep the beads in water in a sealed container, they will stay hydrated indefinitely. If they are in the magazine it can take several days before dehydration begins, same as if they were left out on the counter. We recommend that when not in use they stay hydrated, but they will remain hydrated for a good while before needing to be rehydrated, and you can rehydrate as many times as needed.

  • If the ammo isn’t hydrated for the full 4 hours it’s possible that they will bounce off of target and not explode on impact.

  • The MINI 375 uses a gravity fed hopper, because of that hopper, the blaster will often not fire unless it is in horizontal position. Aim up or down, and if the reservoir is not full, it might not fire. This is inherent in all gravity fed hoppers.

  • Yes, the battery falls well below the battery watt limit set by the FAA.

  • 30-day warranty – manufacturer defects.
    Any modification to the blaster, like spray paint, taking it apart, abuse, tampering with the battery pack/internal gears, being used with non original SplatRBall accessories or others, will void the warranty.

    Q. What are Gel Blasters?

    A. Gel Blasters, also known as Soft Gel Guns, and Gel Ball Blasters are plastic toy guns that shoot hydrated water Gel Balls.

    Q. What are Gel Balls?

    A. They are non-toxic, environmentally friendly, water beads, which are also called jelly beads, water orbs, hydro orbs, polymer beads, and gel beads or Gel Balls. When the tiny hard plastic balls are placed in water, they can grow up to 200 times their size.

    Water crystal gel or water beads is a gel which contains a large amount of water. Water gel is usually composed of a water-absorbing polymer such as polyacrylamide (frequently Poly(methyl acrylate) or Sodium polyacrylate). Sometimes referred to as superabsorbent polymer (SAP).

    Q. How long do I soak the Gel Balls in water for?

    A. Gel Balls must be soaked at least for 4 hours in water to fully expand to size. Failing to completely hydrate the Gel Balls will cause the Gel blaster to not function properly. Overnight soaking is recommended.

    Note: Make sure, that the Gel Balls are prepared in an adequate sized container (Gel Balls will expand 100 times their size).
    – For instructions see the “Gel Ball Hydration 101” page

    Q. How can I store Gel Balls?

    You may store your hydrated Gel Balls in an airtight container, away from the elements and direct sunlight. They will last around 2 weeks in a container. Store in fridge to prevent shrinkage.

    Q. Are Gel Blasters the same as Airsoft?

    A. Gel Blasters differ from Airsoft by the way of ammunition, fire power and internal firing mechanism. Airsoft shoot plastic pallets over 350 fps and typically uses compressed air.

    Gel Blasters are typically spring powered, battery operated plastic toys. They shoot soft gel projectiles up to around 250 feet per second.
    Airsoft in any form is illegal throughout Australia and its states and territories.

    A. Gel Blasters are legal throughout most of Australia. Customers are advised to consult local state laws regarding Gel Blasters.

    Q. Do I need a license to get a Gel Blaster?

    A. No license is required to purchase or own a gel Blaster as they are just toys.

    Q. Does it hurt if I get shot and will it bruise?

    A. It depends on which model you get shot by and the distance at which you get shot from as they vary in power.

    The pistol gel blasters don’t shoot as hard or as far as the rifle Gel Blasters. In most cases being shot by a gel blaster pistol will feel like a quick pinch and possibly resulting in a red temporary mark.

    If shot by a rifle, it will result in significant short-lived pain and welts that may last a day.

    Gel Blasters will NOT cause significant damage or piercing to the skin and are safe to use with friends and family.
