I Want to start out by saying these lasted all last summer and we loved the set so much we took it on our beach vacation. However you REALLY do have to wear the saftey glasses. It could potentially hurt you in your eyes badly without them. Other than that they were amazing for a summer activity. You also cant just use any type of water beads. It could clog up ur devises.
App is awful, Been waiting months for the android fix. Company is aware of the issue and has been doing nothing about it.

No support for Android devices. Try to update the firmware on the sentinel and it fails every single time

This toy is so much fun. Hours of entertainment. Perfect for literally any age 0 to 100 everybody’s gonna have fun. My favorite part of this toy is that it comes with the stand and a remote control to control it.
Kids love it

My children love this toy. They play outside with it for long periods of time. It’s nice to find something that works for different ages since there is an age gap between them. These are easy to use and the both know how to use it without any parental help.
So much to offer

So. Much. Fun. Fun for the whole family. Realistic experience with pretty loud shots. Has color changing gun with different shooting speeds too! Comes with many adds on and an app to follow. Many gel beads come with it and even has beads that glow in the dark. The one negatives is the beads do hurt and cause welps if you are too close. I would highly suggest wearing long sleeves and pants.
Fun for all

Both my husband and kids played this Faction battle system. Get. The. App. It’s worth the whole system. The different game modes and gps / shot feedback is most of the fun. 70% connectivity based on how far you get from the house.
Fun toy!!

This is fun. Don’t think it is an out of the box play, though. It takes about 3 hours for the gel beads to get ready and the device needs to charge. That said, we really enjoyed it! Just a word of warning, the beads do fire quickly and although they are soft, they still sting. So, be careful where you aim.
This is extremely fun!!!

This system is so fun my teens plus my husband love it. You can control it with the remote that works up to 100 feet away. It is easy to fill with gel beads. It is super easy to use and set up. It provides hours of fun. It is well constructed and built to last. It is easy to carry around as well. There is an app that you can change the color of the lights on it. You can use it with or with out the tripod stand. It's neat because the game server though the app tracks every player and every actions.
Fun for teens

Great toy for older kids. My 15 year old enjoys it. It shoots a bit hard and is loud for those who might be sensitive to that. It works better on a softer or rough service. If used on a smooth service it loses traction and slides around a bit. It's range of motion is a bit limited (not 360 or up and down) and I wasn't a fan of the gel bead clean up.
Great outdoor fun. Play safe with the goggles.

This unit is a little more compact than the larger gun and that can make play quicker and easier for newbies. The caveat is that the beads need to be soaked at least three hours before play and the three modes of shooting (burst, full auto and single fire) make play continuously different. And the glow in the dark beads make play unique at dusk.
Extreme fun.

WOW, this is so much fun. It comes with everything you need to have a great time alone, with kids, friends or family. It can be used with a drone, that is comes separate. You can download the app, to control it when it is on the tripod and target practice with the Beacon. Once paired you can use the controller that comes with it and move the gun all around and shoot. It comes with 5000 beads and then 500 glow in dark ones, that make night time use more fun. It is easy to load. The gun is rechargeable but however the controller runs on batteries. Would be so much more convenient if they all were rechargeable. Once we took it out of the box, we plugged it in. It was fully charged within two hours. Highly recommend giving this a try.
This is a blast to play with even as an adult

This is pretty fun to play with as an adult along with your kids. You can play off the grid or you can hook it up to the app and play with teams. The beacon is fun to shoot at when its the right color, the app counts your hits. It comes wirh everything you need so you're ready to go right out of the box.
Fun for all

This was super fun for the kids. The beads do take 3 hours to soak but the fun was well worth it. They seem durable as the kods did drop it a couple times and it didn't break. It also came with googles for safety.
Super cool looking

My kids were SO excited when they opened these up. It has a little tripod that it sits on that you can control with the controller and it is so cool my kids loved it so much. The gun is very loud and looks very expensive. The only downside is the tripod broke after playing with it for 2 hours or so. Besides that gun is still really fun and looks and sounds really good.
Getting kids playing outside again!!

This is an awesome toy to get kids outside playing again. It has the app / technology piece as well but you can play with or without it! There is some set up time required to charge and get the gel beads in water
Game Changing Gel Bead Blaster
4 out of 5 stars
MsSandPitts - 2 years ago
My 15 year old son is reviewing this product. "I recently got my hands on this unique gel blaster, and I must say, it's a game-changer! The fact that it doubles as a remote-controlled turret adds a whole new dimension to the gel blaster experience. The gel blaster itself is solidly built, and its performance in battles is impressive. The shooting range is commendable, and the accuracy is on point. I particularly love the ergonomic design, making it comfortable to handle during intense battles. The highlight of this gel blaster is undoubtedly the remote-controlled turret functionality. It's incredibly fun to set it up strategically and surprise opponents during games. The turret's movement is smooth and responsive, giving me precise control over its direction. Whether it's defending a position or ambushing the enemy, the turret function adds an exciting twist to gel blaster battles. Furthermore, the option to switch between using it as a traditional blaster and a turret is convenient and user-friendly. This versatility allows me to adapt to different game scenarios and keeps the gameplay dynamic and engaging. The gel blaster's battery life is decent, providing enough playtime to enjoy multiple battles before needing a recharge. The overall construction feels durable, ensuring that it can withstand rough handling during action-packed matches. However, I'm giving it 4 stars because the turret function occasionally experiences slight delays in response time, which can affect gameplay. Additionally, they could’ve added more options on how to control the turret rather it being in a 35 degree angle at all times with only a 300 degrees turning radius. In conclusion, this gel blaster with a remote-controlled turret function is an excellent addition to any gel blaster enthusiast's collection. Its dual functionality adds excitement and tactical depth to battles, making it a must-have for gel blaster enthusiasts who want to take their gameplay to the next level. With a few improvements, it has the potential to be a solid 5-star product."
Next level fun!

I was under the impression that we would be able to open the box, put some batteries in the bead blaster and beacon and only have to wait for the gel beads to hydrate. I was wrong. It was a time consuming process, that took around 3-4 hours before we were able to start. The bead blaster must be charged by using the provided charging cable. The adapter is not provided but I was able to use one we had from our phones. It took about an hour to fully charge. The dehydrated gel beads needed to be prepared, which took 3 hours as recommended. Filling the clip with the beads was semi-easy, although a few of them went rogue and bounced all over my kitchen floor. I put the beads in a rice strainer and used a funnel after too many bounced away using just hands. The blaster itself is easy to use and great accuracy. There is a little orange chat button where we were able to talk to each other since we have another blaster. There is an app to download which isn’t mandatory, but I did since it was highly recommended based on the instructions. The app was easy to start up and kept track of hits, we can choose a drone or a beacon as a target and had the ability to control some functions of the blaster. There are some items on the app that said coming soon so we couldn’t test those out. Initially connecting the blaster and beacon was easy but we had to close the app a few times and connecting them back again got confusing or we thought it was connected but it wasn’t so we had to start over by closing the app and shutting the beacon off. We had to keep the app open the whole time otherwise the blaster and targets were disconnected. Towards the end of playing with the blaster we just closed the app and used it with the beacon without. We could still tell if there was a hit or miss based on the color of the light band. Aside from the time from opening the box to playing, the only other complaint we had was the beads jammed up quite a bit but it was a quick fix. The tripod has motorized pivoting and the ability to use the remote control to fire the blaster or keep track of hits while on it. It is a nice addition. We have played with this for hours! This is fun for the whole family.

My boys have absolutely loved playing with this gel blaster. It was easy to load and shoot. Having several options for it made it even better. As a parent, the only downside I saw was that it wanted you to get an app on your phone to go with the gun. I want my kids to put their phones down and play not have to incorporate the phone into something that really didn't have to have electronics incorporated into it. But overall, my kids (the boys and the girls) and even my husband and I enjoyed playing with this.
Faction bead gel blaster set is fun all summer long everything you need in this one set.

Oh man, this turret gel beads gun is a blast. My daughter andd i went oyt in the back yard and spent about 30 minutes blasting the faction drone. This is a 2in 1 blaster. Both by hands or setting up on turret and controlling remotely. I found best range is about 70 feet away. There are multiple firing options fro single to full auto. It wasfun watching this in action. Me and te kids plan touse on our off grid property alot. Now i need to invest in more gel beads.
