I have been reading about gellet guns for a few weeks and finally "pulled the trigger" on ordering a couple for my two boys...okay and myself. There were plenty of options but I chose to go with what I understood to be the original after reading other reviews and watching some videos.
The guns arrived fully charged with an ammo hopper full of gellets, safety glasses, and 10,000 extra gellets. Within minutes we were at war! The gun has single shot and full auto settings. All you do is point and shoot. Being hit with these pellets at less than 30' will give you a good sting and all of us were left with little round welts on our arms, legs, and torsos. You definitely need to wear the eye protection! The battery life of these is decent and more than enough for a full hopper of ammo. It doesn't take long to empty the gellets on full auto so the ready made gellets were gone in no time.
The accuracy of these guns is not excellent, but it isn't bad either. You can watch the gellets occasionally sail off target which may be due to the gellet quality rather than the gun. I would not put it on the level of airsoft or paintball, but considering it doesn't cost nearly as much as those guns, one would not expect it to be.
To make more gellets is easy--one package in a gallon of water and wait two hours. That's it. I didn't get the gellet bucket that would probably make this much easier, but a standard rubbermaid container with a lid worked fine.
Final notes: We have used these guns indoors and outdoors and from what I can tell there has been no mess left behind. The gellets dissolve overtime leaving no trace. I have also found that the gun is good for keeping my cat off of the kitchen counter. It could also be used for a non-lethal deterrent for squirrels and other animals in the yard. This is a good fun purchase for kids and adults.
