HOW TO INCREASE THE RANGE OF YOUR GEL BLASTER?
Get More Distance, Accuracy, and Power From Your Blaster
Do you love your Gel Blaster but feel limited by its range? Whether you’re using a gel blaster sniper, an RPK-style rifle, or a compact orby gun glock, improving range is easier than you think. With the right upgrades and best practices, you can significantly boost both distance and accuracy.
Why Range Is So Important
A greater firing range gives you:
- Better accuracy during outdoor matches
- Competitive advantage in long-range engagements
- A more realistic feel when using advanced models like realistic orby guns
👉 Especially for sniper builds or high-FPS blasters, extended range can be the deciding factor in your next game.
Simple Tips to Improve Your Gel Blaster’s Range
1. Properly Hydrate Your Gel Balls
Under-soaked gel balls shrink or deform, causing poor range and misfires. Always soak them for the recommended time (usually 4 hours or more) for optimal size and consistency.
2. Keep the Barrel Clean
Dust, residue, and broken gel fragments reduce airflow and impact shot trajectory. Use a cleaning rod regularly to maintain barrel condition — especially important for orbeez sniper rifles.
3. Choose High-Quality Gel Balls
Premium ammo is more uniform in size and density, resulting in more stable flight paths and longer range.
Best Accessories for Extending Range
Precision Inner Barrel
A tighter and longer inner barrel enhances shot stability and velocity. Ideal for gel blaster snipers or anyone chasing long-distance performance.
Spring & Gearbox Upgrades
Heavier-duty springs and upgraded gearboxes increase power output (FPS), boosting range significantly. Many RPK gel blasters benefit from these mods.
⚠️ Always ensure your upgraded FPS stays within UK legal limits (under 1.3 joules).
High-Performance LiPo Battery
LiPo batteries offer more consistent voltage and rate of fire — keeping your blaster firing smoothly across long sessions. A simple upgrade with a noticeable impact on reliability.
Red Dot Sights or Scopes
These don’t change actual FPS or range, but they drastically improve target acquisition. Ideal for users of Briliantz / Brilliantz sniper-style blasters.
Maintenance Tips for Consistent Performance
- Store your blaster in a protective bag to prevent dirt and moisture damage
- Lubricate moving parts with silicone-based spray (never petroleum-based)
- Replace worn-out springs, barrels, or gearboxes with trusted spare parts
