It uses GellyBall Blasters – an easy-to-use gun that doesn’t use much pressure to shoot GellyBalls.  Unlike Nerf – where you have to constantly reload with ammo off the floor, a GellyBall Blaster holds 750 shots without reloading!!! Lots more fun!!!

However, we tell the players to shoot in “bursts” – just a quick pull on the trigger. The pod that holds the ammo is called a “Hand Grenade” – it holds 750 GellyBalls. The GellyBall Blaster accurately shoots a distance of 100 feet!
