Gel Blasters are toy guns similar in design (some times very similar) to real guns. They shoot harmless super-absorbent polymer beads that explode on impact without stains, unlike paint balls. We have many gel blasters for hire as well as 4 blaster fields and military simulations to experience. We are home to the South East SA Gel Blaster Club and we also run blaster events like The Winter Wargames. As a firearms license holder, we are authorised to have and let you play with our gel blastgers.
