This is a Nerf blaster unlike any you\u2019ve seen before. It doesn\u2019t shoot reusable foam darts or foam balls, but rather pellets of squishy, water-infused gel. Pellets so small you can fit 800 of them into this blaster, and so cheap it\u2019ll come with 10,000 of them right out of the box. It\u2019ll shoot them fully automatic with an included rechargeable, swappable 7.4V battery you can top up with a USB-C cable \u2014 just like a phone.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s called the Nerf Pro Gelfire Mythic, it\u2019ll cost $79.99 this November, and it\u2019s wild to see it exists \u2014 partly because it\u2019s such a departure from kid-friendly darts, and partly because it feels like Hasbro is finally conceding that it doesn\u2019t<\/em> need to reinvent the wheel to attract an older audience. <\/p>\n

After spending the better part of a decade searching for a way to make Nerf competitive with harder-hitting hobbies like airsoft and paintball, it\u2019s not attempting to create a brand-new kind of blaster with a proprietary new dart<\/a> or ball<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Instead, it\u2019s simply built its own entrant into the burgeoning category of gel blasters<\/em><\/a>, a category of toy gun that\u2019s proved particularly popular in China and Australia (though Australia has seriously cracked down<\/a> in recent years and the Chinese government has voiced disapproval) and, I hear, is spreading across the United States as well. They typically fire pellets that you have to soak in water for a few hours, which explode like a tiny water balloon when they hit your target and whose shells disintegrate into powder. <\/p>\n
