Why does my gel blaster only work upside down?

- How old do I need to be to purchase a gel ball blaster? 

You must be 16 years or older to purchase a gel ball blaster.

- The couriers have delivered my parcel to me, but why can't I see the gel balls I orders? They are missing!! 

The gel balls that you have additionally purchased on top of the blaster itself is place INSIDE the gel ball blaster box to avoid any damage from happening during the transit and handling of your gel balls.

Once your receive your parcel from the couriers, slowly slide the plastic tray that is holding up the gel ball blaster out, make sure you pull it out FULLY.

Then pick up the gel ball blaster box and swish it side to side and do a 360 rotation on it swinging it up and down, to ensure that there are no traces of small wrangling items left inside the box, as you may accidentally throw out the gel balls you purchased along with the blaster box due to being too excited to throw the box away into the recycling bin.

- I charged the battery overnight! It should be fully charged by now, why does it not work when I plug and connect it to the blaster.

At this point in time, your battery probably would have melted and self exhausted itself by now. These batteries are delicate items, please take good care of it. 

Please ensure you DO NOT charge the battery overnight. Watch four episodes of Demon Slayer, which is roughly 1-2 hours, and that will be sufficient enough to last you a while. 

- When I use the blaster the gel balls don't shoot far enough and sometimes doesn't even come out.

The gel ball size does matter. 

Please soak a batch of gel balls in its own container when you begin to binge watch a 16 episode drama series. If, however, you decide that you want to soak more gel balls AFTER the 16 episodes.

PLEASE DO NOT pour in a brand new load of dehydrated gel balls into the SAME CONTAINER. Otherwise, it will cause very uneven soaking of the gel balls, thus each gel ball will grow even more inconsistently than ever before. 

The best example was that we tested out the XYL 357 Python Pistol and these were the results. There were 3 sizes that we tested out.

1) The smaller ones that were only soaked for 1-1.5 hours seem to perform quite well as they slip into the loading barrel easily and smoothly. They shoot out but not as far as the medium sized gel balls.

2) The medium sized ones are the best as they fit the loading barrel nice and snuggly and shoot out straight and strongly.

3) The gel balls that were slightly larger in size which exceeded the 8mm mark are deemed to be overly swollen. When we put through these gel balls and fired it out from the Python, as soon as we pulled onto the trigger the gel ball exploded whilst it was in mid air and didn't travel as far as we thought it would have.  

- If I didn't use up all the gel balls in my magazine in this shooting session, can I keep the gel balls inside the magazine and continue using it the next time I pick my blaster back up again?

No, you cannot! After every shooting session you must empty out the gel balls from your magazine into the bin!! DO NOT pour these gel balls BACK into the container that you have the new gel balls soaked in already.

This is because the gel balls that had been inside the magazine are not in good working condition anymore. They would have depleted when rolling around the inside of the magazine, clashing into each other creating dents in one another. 

- Can I freeze the gel balls in the fridge so they turn hard and use them as my gel ball blaster ammo?

No, absolutely not!!! DO NOT FREEZE YOUR GEL BALLS IN THE FRIDGE.

You will destroy the interiors and key functions of your gel ball blaster!!

They frozen gel balls will self explode INSIDE your blaster when you shoot!

Why does my gel blaster only work upside down?

3.0 out of 5 starsGun is really good, other than a few issues..

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2022

My gun works really fine, although there are some things that make it horrible. Once I got the gun in the mail I was very excited I got it and I used it. When I started using it it would only shoot when the gun was upside down although this wasn't my main issue. The solution to that issue is to wait until the orbeez get bigger and I figured that out by waiting. Another issue I had with this product is how the magazine broke as soon as I used it. I was having fun, I went to go refill the magazine and it got stuck.. I figured it was because one piece broke off unfortunately and I couldn't get it out. After several tries, I got it out and I didn't want to use it anymore. I refunded it just a couple days ago so if I were you I wouldn't buy this.

An awesome team of students from our education program made this wiki.

When you pull the trigger, you hear the gun fire, but the dart stays put.

First, be sure that it is the blaster that is causing the problem. Some darts can become torn or bent, which can make them lose air or catch on the pin.

If you hear the gun fire and perhaps see the dart move, but not shoot, the first thing you should check is the pin onto which the dart fits. If it has become bent, it could hold the dart in place, preventing it from firing. If this is the case, try to gently bend it back into place. If this doesn't work, or if the pin snaps, you will have to replace the barrel. For this, you should consult our Air Blasters Tek Six Barrel Replacement guide.

When you pull the trigger, you hear the tension release, but not the sound of air being forced out of the barrel. The dart does not shoot, or travels a much shorter distance than normal.

If you hear the blaster fire, but the dart does not move and the pin isn't bent, it's possible that the plunger has lost its seal. This means air is escaping out the side of the plunger, rather than being used to propel the dart. Open up your blaster and check the plunger for leaks. You can attempt to plug small cracks or holes, but it would be easier to just replace it. Check out the Air Blasters Tek Six Plunger Replacement

The blaster reloads, but won't fire when you pull the trigger.

The best-case scenario is that the trigger has simply detached itself from the rest of the internal mechanisms. If you open up your blaster and the orange plastic trigger is not attached at the back of the blaster, simply reconnect it and reassemble your blaster.

However, if the plastic of the trigger itself is broken, you will need to replace it. Check out the Air Blasters Tek Six Trigger Replacement guide.

When you pull the slider back, it doesn't click.

If the slider feels loose and doesn't seem to be catching on anything internal, it's possible that it has become disconnected from the rest of the blaster's workings. Open up the blaster and reconnect anything that has come disconnected.

If the reload slider itself is broken, there is the risk of potentially cutting yourself on a broken piece of plastic. Check out the Air Blasters Tek Six Reload Slider Replacement guide.

The blaster reloads, but the slider on the top feels loose and does not return to the front upon release.

If the spring connecting the slider to the front of the blaster is broken or disconnected, the slider will not return to its default position and will feel loose, but the blaster will still reload. Open your blaster and examine this small spring. If it is disconnected, reattach it. If it has snapped, replace it. Check out the Air Blasters Tek Six Reload Slider Spring Replacement guide.
