5 Tips on Buying Gel Blaster Accessories Online

on

Buying Gel Blaster​​​​​​​ in a retail store will allow you to touch the product or test it. However, you will have to drive to the store, which might be inconvenient. Additionally, if you are shopping after hours, this might not be possible.

Shopping online might be more convenient, but you will not get to test a gel blaster or the accessories, so it is critical that you read the specifications of each accessory prior to actually placing the order. That said, even after you read the specifications, gel blasters and their accessories can be pretty technical, so you need to take into consideration a variety of operational information, such as best practices or usage recommendations. Finally, when you buy from an online retailer, each store can offer different equipment, upgrades, or accessories. Consequently, it is important that you make sure the retailer has something for your specific shooting and shipping needs.

1. Selection


Whenever you purchase gel blaster accessories online, you need to know that you can buy everything you need in one transaction. To make that happen, the accessories should include all the gear and support equipment you require.

  • grips
  • hop ups
  • batteries
  • travel bags or cases

Additionally, some accessories are made to amplify the excitement factor of blaster tournaments. Such accessories might not actually help in a firefight, but they make your blaster look much more awesome.

  • silencers
  • scopes
  • torches
  • tracer charges

In terms of firing capability, you should look for a selection that includes different sizes of magazines or hoppers as this will allow you to cram as much firepower into your gel blaster as humanly possible.

2. Website

The website you shop at should be a reputable dealer capable of supporting your purchase after you receive your goods. Additionally, prior to paying, you should have the ability to talk with a service technician or customer-service representative and ask questions about gear that might be in stock or accessories that are back ordered.
Finally, the website should describe in detail the exact gear included with the accessory. For instance, batteries are necessary for any gel blaster, but chargers are not necessarily included with a battery.

3. Specifications


Specifications for any accessory are important as they will let you know if your specific needs will be met. For instance, if you are looking for a hop up for your weapon, you should be able to easily find out if the hop up is a snap-on unit or if it has threads and must be screwed into place. Additionally, you should have information on the upper feet-per-second (FPS) speed limits of the hop up.

Because accessories are often limited in their compatibility, you should be able find specific information that outlines which accessories are compatible with which blasters. Additionally, some accessories are compatible with certain blasters only after adjustments to the accessory or blaster are made. This requirement must be clearly stated, or you will find yourself frustrated at receiving an accessory that does not fit your blaster or requires fiddling that you are not capable of doing.

4. Fulfillment

In the era of cyber thieves, you should only buy your equipment from a reputable site with a secure checkout. The checkout should be identifiable by the HTTPS extension in the URL. However, some browsers remove this extension and replace it with a lock icon. In this case, the lock icon should be locked.

Prior to finalizing the purchase, you should have the option of basic shipping if you need to save money. However, if you require your package for an upcoming tournament, you should have the option of selecting expedited shipping. In terms of tracking your order, the website dashboard should allow you to track your order.

Because gel blasters make excellent gifts, you should look for the option of discreet ordering, which will disguise the shipment.

5. Protections

Gel blasters are toys, but they are toys for adults. As such, they are often not very cheap. Because some accessories can cost a hundred dollars or more, you will want to make sure the website offers a clearly marked return policy that allows you to exchange the product or receive your money back. Additionally, each purchase should be protected against being delivered dead on arrival.
