gel gun
1 of 1nouna toy gun that shoots small water-absorbent gel balls as projectiles, typically used in recreational games similar to airsoft or paintball, but using harmless and biodegradable gel balls instead of paint or plastic pellets
A gel gun is a toy gun that shoots small, soft gel balls, often referred to as gellets. These guns are typically powered by either a spring mechanism or a battery-operated motor, which propels the gel balls out of the gun. Gel guns are often used in recreational games, similar to paintball or airsoft, but they are generally less painful because the gel balls burst on impact. The gel balls are made from water-absorbing materials, which makes them soft and safe for play. It is important to wear safety gear, such as eye protection, when using gel guns to avoid injury.
