I never thought that I would want a gel blaster before lol. Having the feature to change its power is super useful when playing with friends whose blasters don't shoot as hard which allows everybody to have fun and enjoy gel blasters.
Very nice. Consistant, lots of features, clear thought put into the overall design, AND it has a cool sci-fi rifle shell instead of being either a clone of a real gun or yet another pseudo-AR.
I enjoy your enthusiasm. I have never liked the inherent inaccuracies of the gel system. Full or burst are necessary for any hits. But I was trained by an old hunter so single well placed shot got drilled in.
So I couldn't include the footage because there's issues with my digital target (they factory reset somehow), but in 3 sets of 5 on single shot it was stacking shots on top of each other. They can be accurate. I still have the footage somewhere, I may do a short.
@@Eulemunin As was my experience. It was in single fire to be fair, but since I don't think there's a hop up It might have just been because of the high velocity and short distance.
I got the Surge XL Day Night Edition on clearance at Walmart today for $39. It came with the Starfire attachment for use with the glow in the dark gels.
I got one today at Walmart. It came with the attachment and a pack of the Starfire gelletes. Hoping it works better than the Nerf one I bought last year.
Hearing the dual 3 shot bursts I imagined setting up an ambush and just "talking the guns" from the woods. With the "tracer" glow rounds, that'd be such a fun scene in the dark.
ngl i always get suspicious when review videos are sponsored but i was very impressed with just the listed features and the performance consistency. while i'm not impressed with the aesthetics everything else about it checks out. thanks for always making credible reviews.
You should take a look at HGOC's lineup personally I have there AKS-74U which comes with two magazines a speed loader 60,000 gel balls of course safety glasses and a 7.4 volt lithium battery all for $60 only problem I have mine is the latches for the folding stock or not strong enough it's an easy fix though now if that doesn't do it for you they also have an AR-15 style gel blaster that has a pro variant they are also bright colors they can be found on Amazon
Lasers don't make any sound because light doesn't make any sound. Unless you count the cooling mechanisms or transformers on really high powered lasers.
The performance on this is excellent and the adjustable fps is great...but can they do something about that hideous feeder bottle? Imagine this performance package with the form factor of the SPLATRBALL SRB1200 and its drum magazine. That would be absolute perfection.
It looks good, and apparently shoots reliably, but as with many gel blasters, the huge hopper spoils it for me. It means you can't sight down the barrel. Not a problem if you're sparying full auto, but for single shot and burst modes, it's a negative.
I agree, but the performance is way less. Gel balls are far less accurate, travel not even close to as far, and the velocities are a lot lower. That said I love them as an in-between for nerf and airsoft.
@@prismrefractrb4691 unfortunately, they do. I have yet to find any brand of gel ball that is actually biodegradable, the industry just isn’t big enough for people to notice it yet.
I'm not in the market for gel blasting, but that looks like a more satisfying blaster than Nerf's Mythic or whatever, and it's not really that much more expensive.
I have to admit when Maritimefoam reviewed them it really turned me onto the idea of Gel Blasters now that you liked the same blaster I am intrigued more haha
I grabbed the Day n Nite pack at Walmart that comes with the extra activator light and gellets. Cool so far...but I need time to actually *play* with it. So hard as of late.
Imma be honest with you, chief. I'm conflicted. The child in me wants to buy two and duel wield them. However, the adult in me wants to grow two extra arms so I can wield four of them.
@@OwenGallagher-ye4np You make a good point, however, counter point. If I go General Grievous mode, I can rotate my wrists meaning I could shoot in a 360 degree radius all at once without turning.
Hi Walcom, Could you please think about taking a look at the Dart Zone Max Dictator, It's like a conquest but I want to know if it is a good buy for Christmas. That would be great. Love your video's and can't wait to see more content, I love how you are adventuring out of foam-flinging and taking a look at Gell Ball Blasters!
Just bought the Surge XL Day and Night Edition. So far I have tried the pre-hydrated rounds and rounds I soaked for about 4 hours. Im running into an issue where it shoots 2 rounds per shot and occasionally 3. Any advice anyone could offer would be appreciated.
Gabe from the Gelblaster team, Awesome to hear your recent purchase! There should be a service hotline number included in your box Another piece of exciting news: Your Surge XL has some wireless controller tech build into it! We'll be releasing Surge and Starfire XL exclusive PC games soon
Did you experience any multi-round shots? I just got one of these and it hardly ever fires one gellet per cycle like it should. I assume my gun is defective at this point since new ammo does the same.

There is a difference. With sponsored reviews, or where the review products were sent for free, there is usually an agreement between the two parties that the reviewer will make an honest review based on their personal opinion, whether positive or negative. A problem arises when the reviewer genuinely likes the product... everyone assumes it's not a genuine review. Of course, some people are not immune to giving "good" reviews in exchange for money, but you can usually spot them over time.
Yeah but you could go online and get like Chinese orbeez and get like 100k for like 15-20 dollars plus shipping which you get way more ammo and I'd think it's cheaper than a 50 pack of nerf darts
If only there was a dart blaster like this that is not the colonel wasp 76. User friendly the whole way round, rechargeable, AEG, select fire, 200+ FPS. DZ, AF or Hasbro would be cool. 🤷♂️
So I've been seeing a lot of shorts with gel blasters and am wondering where do gel blasters fall into; are they a competitor/"safer" alternative to airsoft or is it a more "hardcore" version of Nerf? I used to play airsoft so this is basically new to me. It seems like the gel balls wouldn't hurt as much as airsoft BBs since they explode on impact, but would you even want to shoot gel blasters indoors like Nerf guns? I guess my age is starting to show.
Airsoft: LONG DISTANCE SNIPER MATCH OR REALLY LARGE AMOUNTS OF PAIN, Gel blasters: Same as airsoft except not painful Nerf: 30 feet, take it or leave it
Wonder if there's any possible way to modify a Turbine shell to fit the hopper and internals - don't own one, but it's one of my favorite designs visually

With a little bit of modding,this gel blaster could look like the Star Trek the Next Generation phaser from the series
Or even better: the Phaser Rifle from Elite Force.
Right? It looks more like the phaser than Nerf's alleged phaser.
MaKe It sO!!!
One that may actually be worth the price.
Now those gel blasters have my attention. These look and seem to work super slick. Geat video Walcom as usual.

Very nice - the $120 one with glow hopper at Target was very alluring too!
for pure performance the pulsar is probably better
This was funny as hell!!
"That was... Uhh, that was... Something!"
LoL dude got so much enjoyment out of this!
Very informative. Especially putting it through the chronograph. That helped me make my decision.
“I’m gonna go full auto, because fun.” 😂 nice touch
These took off in Australia pretty big as an alternate to airsoft as its illegal here. Our blasters are far more Milsim though.
This is the first gel blaster to really catch my attention. I look forward to watching this technology develop.
The sound of the gell blaster sounds like a laser weapon
Lasers don't make any sound because light doesn't make any sound. Unless you count the cooling mechanisms or transformers on really high powered lasers.

They're more of a friendly version of Airsoft. They really shouldn't be played with inside.
I mean, airsoft is often played indoors so this should be fine. Just wear ANSI glasses or a mask if you're doing it inside.
Alright, but is this better than the splatrball guns? Is it better than the splatrball SRB400?
fore being a young addition to the hobby, they got to the equivalent of the Regulator pretty quickly
they've been around since oct 2021
It's so weird watching this in Australia where our gel blasters are 250fps+ and look like real guns
The industry in the US is much larger. They’re being sold as toys and at lower costs.
Liked the video and enjoyed it, hope things are going well
Can you review and test the smaller surge gel blaster 3.0 please!?
the gellets that come hydrated already are weak and they break easy meaning before they blast out the gun they break in pieces inside
If he did this vs the hpg 700 that would be the battle of the century
