Dart Blasters

What are darts blasters?

Dart blasters, such as those from Nerf and XSHOT, fire foam darts, and occasionally discs and arrows too. Once fired, you simply use the other darts which come with your blaster or pick the ones you’ve fired back up and reload.

What are the darts made from?

The darts are made of a soft foam material, making them safe for younger children to play with and aim at another target. We always recommend avoiding the face area.

What are gel blasters?

Gel blasters are a softer, kid friendly alternative to paintball, allowing for the same level of tactical gameplay and teamwork without the impact.

Do gel blaster pellets dissolve?

Yes – gel blaster pellets are designed to dissolve and disintegrate after impact. How fast they dissolve depends on the brand and type of pellet. They are non-toxic and completely disintegrate, ensuring no mess or remnants.

Do dart and gel blasters hurt?

No, dart and gel blasters don’t hurt, especially when used responsibly and following each blaster’s guidelines and safety instructions.

What age are toy blasters suitable for?

In terms of age suitability, dart blasters are typically best for 5 years and up. However there are options for 3 to 5 years. And, alternatively, some dart blasters are only suitable for 11 years and beyond. Gel blasters are for older children and are suitable for children aged 14 years and up.

Are they safe for children?

Yes. To ensure accidents don't occur while playing with blasters follow our reminders below:

• Never aim a toy blaster at someone’s face.
• Play with toy blasters in big and open spaces.
• Keep the projectiles away from the mouth to prevent choking.
