This build was inspired by NightHawkInLight's series of videos making airsoft BB machine guns from basic parts and trash. SUPPLIES Soda bottle - 24 ounce or larger Barrel - Stainless Tube (7.5mm ID) Gel blaster barrels are usually 7.5mm ID. This will allow a gel ball between 7 to 8 mm to pass through. Most gel balls average about 7.5mm when fully grown. A gel blaster barrel would cost more than a simple stainless tube. I found a 7.5mm ID tube on Amazon, and they cost $15 for

Tutorial on how to replace the spider gasket on a pool filter multiport valve. Buy gasket for 2" pipe multi port valve here. The manufacture recommends using a Loctite adhesive (401, 403, and 416) that is actually cyanoacrylate (super glue). However, that is a very aggressive glue and is a huge pain to remove the gasket and clean out all the glue when it is time to replace. It is important to only apply a small bead of super glue to the bottom of the groove and not to the wal

WHAT IS GEL BLASTER HOP-UP? A hop-up for gel blasters is a device that is attached onto the end of the barrel and gives the gel ball a backspin as it exits. This backspin makes the ball rise in the air, counteracting the effects from gravity until the velocity of the ball decreases to the point it falls to the ground. When adjusted properly, the hop up will give the gel balls a flat flight instead of traveling in an arc. Also, applying the same spin to each ball will increase

If you think gel blasters are fun to play with during the day, wait till you do it at night with glow-in-the-dark gel balls. To make glow gel balls light up, you need a TRACER, which is simply a light source that illuminates and charges up the glow gel balls before they are shot out of the blaster. ▼ GEL BLASTER SURGE Watch this video to learn how to add a tracer mod to Gel Blaster SURGE using UV LEDs: Where to buy Gel Blaster SURGE. ▼ GEL BLASTER STARFIRE The Gel Blaster STA

The Lightning Blaster MRT is the house brand of GelTactical. GelTactical is the US arm of M4A1 Gel Blaster in Australia who have been in the gel blaster game since it first started. The Lightning Blaster is custom manufactured by WELL for GelTactical. It has some technical differences from normal WELL M4 gel blaster, like the barrel is standard 9.5mm OD instead of the 9.0mm OD that WELL normally uses. The gearbox also has hybrid metal/plastic gears. Utilizing metal gears in t

How to build and assemble the LONGER RAY5 10W laser cutter and engraver. I show every step in close-up detail of how to assemble this laser. Watch the video: ▼ ASSEMBLY TIPS AND TRICKS There are a few tips to building it that we're not mentioned in the instructions. 1. The inside corner brackets. Don't tighten the screws right away. Loosely tighten both screws first, allowing the bracket to move to the right position. Then fully tighten both screws. 2. Belt tightening. Loosen

The Moongoose Juneau is a lot of bike for the price. It can often be found for less than $300. The price on Amazon seems to fluctuate up and down. It will drop down as low as about $260 and then bounce back up to over $700. It's a very nice bike (for under $500), and it only gets better the lower the price goes. ▼ WHERE TO BUY ▶ Mongoose Juneau (Amazon) ▶ Thudbuster LT Seatpost (Amazon) ▶ ASSEMBLY Assembling this bike is very easy, and it comes with good instructions.

I get a lot of questions about what the best gel balls are to use, and can I use brands of gel balls different from the gel blaster manufacturer brand. Yes, you don't need to only use the brand of gel balls that matches your gel blaster. You can use any brand of gel ball that is the same size spec as your blaster, which is usually 7.5mm (or also reffered to as 7-8mm). Most gel balls that come with the blasters, or are branded for those blasters are of generic, medium quality.

There are several reasons why a MOSFET is a good upgrade for a gel blaster. Extends trigger switch life Faster response Programmability (3 round or more burst, Rate of fire adjustment, mag capacity setting and reload time out, etc...) LiPo low voltage cutoff to prevent damaging batteries The least expensive MOSFETs, like the JeffTron Micro Mosfet II have no programmability and are simply used to bypass the trigger switch. They allow higher current carrying capacity, and no ar
