If you want your gel blaster to perform at its best, regular maintenance is key. Many players overlook cleaning and lubrication — but that’s what keeps your blaster accurate, powerful, and reliable every time you hit the field.

Start by giving your blaster a quick wipe-down after every session to remove dirt and gel residue. Make sure the barrel is clear, and use a soft cloth or cleaning rod to prevent any internal blockages. A light coat of silicone oil on moving parts can make a world of difference — it keeps everything running smooth and extends your blaster’s life.

Avoid leaving gel balls loaded for long periods; they can expand and damage your internals. And if you’re storing your blaster, remove the battery and keep it in a dry place away from direct sunlight.

With just a few simple habits, you’ll not only protect your investment but also enjoy consistent performance shot after shot. Take care of your blaster, and it’ll take care of you in battle!
