All items are in stock unless stated otherwise. Demand is high and if we are sold out it's best to pre-order so you go in the queue to secure your blaster. If you want to be the first to find out about new products, and re-stocked items, follow us on social media below:

When an item is out of stock we open pre-orders (purchase before the item arrives).

In this time, more stock is on the way and we give you the chance to put a pre-order through so we can allocate the stock to you. Once you pre-order, the item is guaranteed and is secured! We don't sell it to anyone else. If you want the item, we definitely recommend pre-ordering as stocks do sell fast and often times sells out before the items even land in Australia! 

We definitely recommend using your gel blaster ONLY in your backyard/house or in designated fields and arenas. You can find Australia's leading gel blaster club and access all fields in Australia for $10 at www.gelblasterclub.com.au

If you require technical help and wish to make an enquiry about a potential issue you may be experiencing, please send us through an email to contact@tactoys.com.au with your order number and attach a video showcasing the issue and the process you go through to use the blaster.

This would include (where applicable): filling the mag with hydrated gel balls until full, connecting the charged battery to the blaster, priming the blaster/magazine, firing, and then finally removing the mag to see if any gel balls fall out.

The video will be reviewed by our tech-team, who will then advise the next step. All technical enquiries must be made in writing.

Yes! All gel blasters purchased through TacToys come with warranty. Please make sure to read the Use & Safety Sheet which comes with all gel blasters for information on warranty. Some gel blaster models (like the M24 Sniper Rifle) will also come with a blaster-specific instruction sheet outlining use/care.  

If you require technical help and wish to make a warranty-claim for a potential issue you may be experiencing, please send us through an email to contact@tactoys.com.au with your order number and attach a video showcasing the issue.

Any modifications to the gel blaster or tampering/disassembly will void the warranty.  If we find evidence that the blaster has been tampered with, or that the issue being experienced with the blaster is a result of improper use/force, warranty will not be applicable. This means any costs involved in repairing the blaster, including return postage costs, will be billed to the customer.

Unfortunately, TacToys is no longer offering modification/installation services for internal or external gel blaster upgrades.

Please remember that all gel blasters are toys, so experiencing some jams is normal. One of the main causes of jams in gel blasters are the gel balls. This can be attributed to inconsistencies in gel ball sizing, or to the softness of the gel balls.

We would recommend trying with a fresh batch of hydrated gels (preferable the milky white gel balls). Please make sure to follow all hydrating instructions, and to fill the magazine until full through the trap door prior to use.

If the jams persist and you feel the cause is blaster-related, please make sure to email us at: contact@tactoys.com.au with your order number and a video attached showcasing this.

Please keep your gel blaster concealed at all times. When transporting your gel blaster in public, we would recommend using a rifle bag or carrying it in a box.

Do not carry, display, or use your gel blaster in public spaces. The public may perceive your gel blaster as an actual firearm, which could lead to penalties and charges from the authorities. The severity of these charges may vary by state. 

Charge times depend on how depleted/low the battery is prior. Both the standard 7.4v and upgraded 11.1v batteries can take approximately 1-2 hours to charge (sometimes longer if almost fully depleted). A green light will display when your battery is fully charged.

Once fully charged, disconnect the battery and turn off the charger to avoid over-charging. Please remember to never leave the battery unattended whilst on charge. 

The main difference is the density or how much force it takes to crush the Titan gel balls in comparison to standard gel balls. The Titan gel balls have a higher threshold, meaning they hurt more when you are hit by them.

If you are wanting to take your gel ball game to the next level, we would definitely recommend using the Titan gels.

The gel balls arrive to you dehydrated in a small packets of 10,000 balls. Add the gel balls to water for at least 4 hours and the balls will grow to 7-8mm. One packet of 10,000 will grow perfectly in a 3L bottle. 

When the gel ball is shot from the gel blaster, it explodes on impact into small pieces like jelly. The gel dissipates after a short time and leaves no mess to clean up! It is also non toxic. Please make sure to hydrate the gel balls for a minimum of 4 hours and drain the excess water from the gel balls when loading your magazine, otherwise your magazines will be rusted and un-usable. 

We recommend hydrating gel balls for the 4 hour minimum, then draining the water and leaving them in a sealed container until you wish to use them. For long term storage, put the gel balls in a sealed container or bottle in the fridge. 

Failure to place in an airtight container will result in the balls shrinking back to their original size, or an un-usable size. If the balls shrink, you can hydrate them again however it won't be as firm as originally experienced, you may also encounter feeding or performance issues. Please make sure to also empty the magazine and clear the chamber once finished using the gel blaster, to avoid blockages.

Yes, 100%! Gel balls are completely non toxic, environmentally friendly and leave no mess, residue or stains.
