Gel Blaster Gun

On Youtube and Tiktok, there are several famous gel blaster brands from China: Lehui, Jingming, SKD. But few people in China know about these companies, and there is no relevant information even online.

Gel blasters are considered illegal goods in China, and it is illegal to manufacture and sell gel ball guns.

Due to the relatively high power of the it, there have been cases of teenagers injuring others by randomly “shooting” with the gel ball gun while playing. So in China the gel ball gun does not meet the safety standards of toys.

Moreover, the appearance and color of domestic and foreign standard firearms such as water guns, 56-type submachine guns, M4 carbines are very similar, and they meet the “Recognition Standards for Simulation Guns”. Therefore, it is illegal to manufacture and sell gel blaster guns in China.
