As good as they appear to be, I really can't stand having those giant hoppers blocking the line of sight. It's not going to matter if you're just spraying full auto everywhere, but having accurate single shot and burst modes isn't great when you can't see your target. 🤔
During gel blaster wars, I use the surge xl quite a bit and the hopper honestly isn’t too big of a hassle. If you really want to aim, just lean it sideways a little bit and aim it down the side. But the blaster is very good and I understand that seen people prefer magazine fed blasters
I also thought it was a reskin at first and thought it was going to be a waste of money but I ended up getting it to make a video and was really surprised at the end by the performance
That's awesome to hear! Did you have it turned up all the way at first? My friends kept complaining about how inaccurate it was until I showed them to just turn down the FPS and it shoots so much better
Here's something I discovered about the Gellets that come presoaked in the hopper. I bought the Version 2 Surge that came with the 800 Gellet hopper with presoaked Gellets. I poured them into a bowl with water and after 45 minutes tried to get them all back into the hopper. I got all but around 38 of them back in, so they definitely got a bit larger. And while the hopper did have a small amount of water in it with the Gellets, it wasn't enough for them to expand fully. I would suggest that anyone buying a Gel Blaster that comes with the presoaked Gellets to soak them again out of the hopper, because if they don't fully hydrate then they will be smaller and let too much air pass around them in the barrel, which means they will have a lower velocity.
You can do that, but I already had a ton of pre grown ammo so it didn't seem very necessary to wait and so so for the video. But if you want when you get the blaster, you for sure can.
Just got an amazing job at a nerf and gel blaster arena and we use the white and green surge xl... I'm gonna get the starfire 2 xl for the different color
The first time that I got the Gel Blaster Barracuda, I dumped the included bag of hydrated gellets into the hopper. Long story short, a lot of water came out of that Gelblaster, damaging it. I was sent a replacement, by the company, but I wasn’t going to take that chance again, by just dumping the bag of gellets out. It is very annoying when that happens.
I didn't have that problem when I unboxed mine, I usually never use included gellets straight out of the box unless I don't have extra ones to use because they're always too small or have some sort of problem.
I made a video called the 10 best gel blasters for Christmas 2024 where I go through a list of blasters, in that video I explain which is better than the other. I highly recommend you go give that a watch because I go highly in depth on why one is better than the other
thanks, i bought the surge xl because of how much you liked it. i really like it a lot. would like to find the 2 xl. please let me know if you can find where to buy. thanks and keep up the with the great videos, always informative and i like when you tell the truth when something is sub par!!!
Why do you prefer the Surge family blaster? Many hardcore players prefer metal/polymer realistic gel blasters such as the cyma M4, etc that are easily upgradable + have many spare parts readily available + have higher performance.
The reason I prefer these more is because I have experience and don’t need to try to look cool on the battle field with a fancy blaster. I’ve tried a ton of realistic looking blasters that shoot really good but for gel blaster wars, they just aren’t good at all, I’ve tried so many different blasters on the field and the surge xl and starfire xl are by far, one of the best blasters, high fps, rps, ammo capacity, and so much more, they’re a lot easier to use and carry around and I’ve easily defeated friends with one of these while they were using $200-$300 blasters
Yeah, it was a pretty long video and I don’t blame you for taking a break, just make sure to come back and finish up the video and let me know what you think!
I never noticed it too much that way. I just noticed that the ammo is a lot different consistency wise which is why it flows out of gel blaster depot buckets differently.
During normal wars and just having fun with my friends, around 4-6 hours of battery life during gel blaster war scenarios, probably can shoot 12k-20k bullets on a full charge

Ngl I thought it was just a reskin of the originals but I was very surprised of its preference. Very cool vid
I also thought it was a reskin at first and thought it was going to be a waste of money but I ended up getting it to make a video and was really surprised at the end by the performance
Thanks for the tip on lowering the fps. My Surge XL shoots much straighter now👍
That's awesome to hear! Did you have it turned up all the way at first? My friends kept complaining about how inaccurate it was until I showed them to just turn down the FPS and it shoots so much better
It was turned up all the way before. My shots were curving like crazy!
@@makulit75 same thing as the test!
Great review they are so cool
Thanks! These blasters are really awesome!
bro is underrated asf

Just got an amazing job at a nerf and gel blaster arena and we use the white and green surge xl... I'm gonna get the starfire 2 xl for the different color
That sounds awesome! I've always wanted to host a war for my friends and I at one of those
4:54 this happened with my surge xl. The pre-hydrated gellets often have water inside.
Yeah, it happens with most Gel Blaster products
When will they release more starfire 2 ?
I have absolutely no clue
I’m thinking of buying a gel blaster but idk what to get either the starfire xl 2 or the surgefire xl what’s the blaster ?
Go watch this video where I go over the best option between the 2: th-cam.com/video/BGMfM4hRaEM/w-d-xo.html
I like the vid it is my favorite vid of urs :)
Thanks so much for the support! I worked really hard on this video!
Have you ever shot and reviewed the gel zone pro Kratos bottom feed?
I’ve shot the gel zone kratos before, basically the hydro strike pulsar pro but a different body build and tracer unit
I saw the starfire 2 pistol for like 19$ at Walmart
Check out one of newest TH-cam shorts

Test the fps and rps for the surge xl day n nite and the surge 2 xl
The FPS and the RPS of the Surge XL is in my newest video while the Surge 2 XL FPS and RPS are the exact same thing as this
Is the starfire 2 XL/Surge 2 XL better to use than the Faction Havoc?

@oakleyentertainment awesome
looks like they came out with a surge 2 xl. any idea of where to get one
I saw that too a while ago! Still got no clue where to buy it

How does this compare to surge 2XL?
They're the same thing, just different body color/styles

@@oakleyentertainment forgot to say this but the video was fire 🔥
Also, what is your favorite gel blaster. Mine is the Hydro strike Kratos.
Surge XL for sure
Is it the same as surge Xl 2
It should be except for maybe what it comes with and the surge 2 xl probably won’t come with a built in tracer unit or flashlight
Yes
Yes
do the twist shot and nightfall uproar
I have filmed both of those reviews and plan to edit and release both of them within the next 2 weeks.
@@oakleyentertainment can you do the twist shot because it’s cook
I’m going to try to release it really soon
How many fps it halfway?😊
About 200-210
@@oakleyentertainment
E
Please compare them to the old ones!!
Ok!
Maybe try using harder gels? I heard they usually are more painful and accurate
They are but I ain’t paying $50 for them😂
@@oakleyentertainment true, they are not cheap 🤣
Can somebody link the harder gels plz?
Cool
Thanks
I’ve noticed the glow in the dark ammo doesn’t get as big as the normal ammo so it misfeeds a lot more so I stopped using them
I never noticed it too much that way. I just noticed that the ammo is a lot different consistency wise which is why it flows out of gel blaster depot buckets differently.
let’s go
Oh yeah!
@@oakleyentertainment Yea my target sells those new packs of ammo individually
Oh I’m sorry, I thought you meant the box packs, not hats awesome though!
@@oakleyentertainment yea they had vortex blue, electric green and even the star fire ammo
how is the battery life?
During normal wars and just having fun with my friends, around 4-6 hours of battery life during gel blaster war scenarios, probably can shoot 12k-20k bullets on a full charge
the Starfire two basically the nova
Yeah basically, except a tracer unit is internally installed and it has a 1000 round hopper
I got the star fire 2
That's awesome! How do you like it so far?
Where
@@Madbull104 Walmart they have it normally in store
I can't find the star fire 2 xl
Have you even watch the video at all? I mention many times where to get it
Cant get them here in my state.
Let me guess, California?
@@oakleyentertainment nope Michigan
Wow that's surprising. Do you know why?
@@oakleyentertainment I can get the surge xl an the surge but my Walmart doesn’t have star fire 2 yet
Have you tried using the online link?
The first one broke In 10 minutes I hope they fixed it buy you said nothing changed
The first Surge/starfire blaster they had was I will say, not that great at all
peanut butter
Yes, very peanut butter
jelly
Yes, very jelly
aluminum frying pan
Is it really still only 1,000 round hopper if so why is it called 2xl ??????
Because it's a version 2 of the XL, not a double XL
I got the $48 for big discount for $15
I got 3 of them for $20 each
@@oakleyentertainmentwhere
You prob got the surge 1 model for that price
@ nope it’s the gen 3
man...its just the same thing. i like the color though.
Did you not watch the video?
@@oakleyentertainment i just did XD i did not expect it to be that good i might buy one.
I’m glad you were able to realize what I was able too😂
$50 says these are Walmart Exlusive and someone is gonna pick these up at Target
I feel like there going to be resold on Amazon too
Can i have one for my birthday please i am a big fan of you
You should ask your parents to put it on your birthday list! 🎂
Pls compare
First comment to request it! Thanks for paying attention!
gettin pretty tired of waiting for the surge 2xl
Me too
Do you like chicken🍗
I like chicken🍗
Depends on the chicken
NGL bro, I love my gel blasters too, and I hundred percent want to cop this. But it’s just a re-skin.😭😭😭
If you actually watched the video, you wouldn't think that
I did
Yeah they changed the trigger, but it’s still the same gun
