Water bead ammunition. A gel ball blaster, also known as a water gel blaster, orbeez gun, gel gun, gel shooter, gel marker, hydro gel blaster, water bead blaster or gelsoft gun, is a toy gun similar in design to airsoft guns, but the projectiles they shoot are 7–8mm (depending on the replica) superabsorbent polymer water beads (most commonly sodium polyacrylate, colloquially called gel balls ...
Biodegradable pellets are available, and are often required by outdoor fields where sweeping is not an option. Conventional pellets pollute the environment, as most non-biodegradable pellets have a mineral or petroleum-based center, coated in non-biodegradable plastics, thus ensuring they will stay in the environment for several hundred years if not collected.
The pellets, which are called BBs, are usually bought in bags or bottles of 2,000 to 5,000, but other sizes are available, such as a 250,000 round (65 kg) package of tournament grade BBs. Biodegradable BBs are a fraction more expensive than non-bio counterparts, but many fields require them. BBs are typically 5.95mm ±0.01 mm in diameter.

They are a special type of low-power smoothbore guns designed to shoot plastic pellets often colloquially (but incorrectly) referred to as "BBs", which are typically made of (but not limited to) plastic or biodegradable resin materials.
Superabsorbent polymers are not biodegradable. The use of gel blasters in external zones is damaging to the environment. 109.149.76.132 ( talk ) 19:42, 5 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ]
A new biodegradable gel has been developed to repair the damage caused by a heart attack. Experts at the University of Manchester, backed by the British Heart Foundation (BHF), created the ...
Airsoft is a sport in which players use airsoft guns to fire plastic projectiles at other players in order to eliminate them. Due to the often-realistic appearance of airsoft guns and their ability to fire projectiles at relatively high speeds, laws have been put in place in many countries to regulate both the sport of airsoft and the guns themselves.
Xploderz is a line of toy weapons made by The Maya Group to compete with Hasbro's Nerf Super Soaker line and marketed as a safer alternative to paintball. [1] The concept is based on Orbeez, a toy line also by The Maya Group that uses water-absorbent gel pellets, [2] and hence the toy line is sometimes referred to as "Orbeez ball shooters".
