NerfPro Gelfire Legion Spring Action Blaster, 5000 Rounds, 130 Hopper, Protective Eyewear, Slam Fire, Ages 14 & Up

It's really fun to use but I would recommend a few things. The first thing is that when you load and cock your blaster don't do it too fast. The reason I say this is because sometimes a little puff of air will push the gel orb out of the gun a little bit causing it to not fire correctly. The second thing is the slam fire mode is when you hold the trigger and pull back on the "hammer" and release it repeatedly. This mode fires more gel orbs at a time but makes it fire significantly less accurately so in my opinion I wouldn't use that mode since your ammo will also run out fast that way. The third thing I recommend is to use fairly warm water for the gel orbs which can easily speed up the soaking process to only 20 minutes, I would just say to make sure they have reached full size the orbs won't fire right if they're too small. Fourth and last, these orbs are nontoxic so dropping one in the house by accident isn't a big deal.

If you're looking for a fun, action-packed way to spend your day, the Gel Blast Nerf Gun is a solid choice. I’ve had hours of entertainment with it, and it definitely delivers on the promise of non-stop fun. The gel ammo is easy to load, and the gun shoots with surprising accuracy and power. What I really like is the sheer amount of ammo that comes with it—you're not constantly worrying about running out too quickly, which is a huge plus. Plus, the safety glasses included are a nice touch, ensuring everyone stays protected while they play. Overall, it’s a great option for both kids and adults who want a safe but exciting way to enjoy some backyard action. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to switch up their Nerf game! We have bought a few of these.

Not anything like I was hoping after reading advertisements. I was hoping this would be useful in scaring away wild geese that will come onto my backyard from small lake and end up causing huge mess. It doesn’t take much more than clap of hands or quick shout to get them moving . Was hoping the noise would at least be audible and any touch from or bouncing around the yard would be difficulty keep them moving off grass. This did neither! Big waste! Didn’t make noise and could barely see much less feel those tiny little beads of water ..WHICH WOULD GET CLOGGED UP AND NOT SHOOT about 40% of time. Huge dud for us! ( oh, and don’t store any extra of those orange ammo in drawer in our game room- they all melted causing mess!

We received the Gelfire Mythic over the holidays and enjoyed it so much that we went and ordered the Legion. While the Legion doesn't have a lithium polymer battery or pull-out stock to get excited about, it does feature the same gauge of build quality that should be expected from a Nerf product. The Legion is comfortable to hold and fire in a variety of different sized hands, but the spring loading mechanism can be difficult to engage for some, especially since the cocking lever feels like it could use more purchase to grab onto. Furthermore, the way the loading mechanism works makes it more susceptible to either non-firing or having the gel ammunition roll out of barrel. The overengineering that prevented as many misfiring instances in the Mythic just can't be found in the Legion. As such, loading the Legion requires some finesse: fully pull back the lever, but don't keep the lever back for too long, and keep the Legion as level to the ground throughout the whole cycle. Eventually the loading slide will jam. And that requires some fully grown heft to pull the slide back and release it to it's original location. There's a tiny window on the top rear of of Legion that fills with an orange plastic tab to let you know when the spring is engaged... if you find that helpful.From my own testing, the Legion fires polymer rounds faster than the Mythic, but that somehow makes it more difficult to aim. Orb shoters usually come with large hoppers and tons of ammo because they typically make up for their lack of accuracy with volume and rapid fire. In other words, the stream of orbs leaving the barrel will lead you on target. However, since the Legion only fires once for every loading cycle, hitting a target feels more like a matter of chance. That said, I've gotten pretty good at hitting targets at distance with the Legion, provided I use the barrel that came with the Mythic.Speaking of the Mythic's barrel, there's some online debate over what its effectual use actually is. Sure, it added some noise effect for the automatic fire of the Mythic, but I swear it helps with aiming. Regardless of my opinion, Hasbro are probably just as divided over how useful the barrel is, since it isn't included with the Legion, and I actually believe that's an unfortunate omission. To be clear, there's definitely a place to attach the barrel onto the Legion. Aside from a Mr Beast tie-in that I'll never purchase, it's difficult to gauge Hasbro's commitment to the ever expanding gel launcher landscape. An included barrel for the Legion would have, at the very least, shown that Hasbro had more confidence in the Gelfire line.Since we're talking about what didn't come in the box, let's talk about what did. The safety glasses are miles better than anything that came with any of the other non-Hasbro orb shooters that I own. Again, Hasbro engineered the safety glasses with a variety of different head/face shapes and sizes in mind. The Legion also comes with a packet of hardened polymer orbs that took roughly 4 hours to fully rehydrate and expand. After rehydrating and rinsing the orbs (to prevent sticking and misfiring), they were hand-loaded into the Legion's fun little hopper. The Legion's hopper is the smallest gel orb hopper I've ever seen, but since the Legion doesn't rely on volume to hit targets, it makes sense to have as small a hopper as possible... one that doesn't obscure sight of the target. It's also worth noting that virtually all of the Legion's packaging was flattened and chucked into the cardboard recycling. Aside from tape and a few bags, everything was recyclable and took up very little space in the disposal bin.I definitely went all in on the currently available Gelfire series as it's amusing to see Hasbro play catch up with a market that they ignored for as long as they did. That said, you can definitely tell that Hasbro have put a lot of engineering thought and consideration into their Gelfire releases, but the Legion is an odd recommendation--especially since the Mythic can be purchased on sale for just 20 dollars more. I personally prefer goofing around with the Legion and being the local deadeye who can knock Duxie cups off the coffee table at 20 paces, but my kids probably would have preferred another Mythic.

Got these for my sons after my dad had one over the summer visit. They love them! Target practice and gel beads. Harmless, safe, fun.

Bought this for my newphew and he loves it ! Very good price as well , easy to use and accurate

Definitely not made for rapid fire. It can shoot really far with a good amount of force. The ball doesn't burst, so definitely don't shoot at people or animals. The cocking/reloading is not easy to pull back, so not good for younger, weaker kids. Every 7-10 balls gets stuck and either just drops the ball or goes a very short distance.

These things have great power! The only con is that you have to be holding it with the barrel pointed up while cocking it, or the beads just fall out. Otherwise, great speed, and super fun.
