Top Gel Blasters Australia: 2025

Whether you’re about to purchase your first gel blaster or looking to upgrade your arsenal for 2025, it’s vital that you choose the best available device.

With so many options to choose from, it can feel like you’re navigating a minefield before even entering the playing field. However, there’s no need to be lost in the pursuit of a great gel blaster. Here at GBU, our experts have shortlisted eight of the best to help you make an informed decision.

Top Seller: The M4A1 V8

No gel blaster has been sold more frequently than the M4A1 V8 and the 2025 model will help plenty of players dominate the playing field with precision and power. 

It shoots hard and fast, reaching distances of 20M before you’ve even upgraded the setup. Thanks to the quad rail for attachments, the customisation options are simply incredible. With a price of just $129.99, it’s not hard to understand the M4A1’s popularity. Some of the rifle’s top features include;

• Mag prime to gel balls are fully loaded into the magazine.
• Single, full auto, and safe firing modes.
• Fully adjustable butt to suit users of all sizes.
• Uses a 7.4V battery but can be upgraded to 11.1V.
• Extremely durable body and components.

Performance Rifle: HL Honey Badger V3.0

At $265, the Honey Badger 3.0 is pricier than the M4A1 V8. However, the phenomenal design and superior performance make it an ideal choice for slightly more experienced users.

Its 18:1 gears and internals deliver exceptional performances and a 20M range. Hyper-realistic engravings are combined with a nylon construction for a beautiful design and comfortable feel, which is supported by the adjustable size. At GBU, we also include a starter pack of 500 gels. The V3.0s key features are;

• Safe, semi, and full auto mods.
• Top rail for adding a sight accessory.
• Nylon magazine capacity of 220 gel balls.

Best New Entry: Maxim Defence MDX

Released towards the end of 2024, the Maxim Defence MDX is another high-performing gel blaster that has instantly forced its way onto the top table for 2025.

It’s a little cheaper than the Honey Badger 3.0. Available in black or tan, it is a well-crafted piece that looks simply incredible. Meanwhile,  the metal gears (18:1), trigger, and charging handle make it very robust. The rifle is ideal for both casual play and tournament events while its top selling points are;

• Single, full auto, and safe firing modes.
• Mag prime to feed gel balls with precision.
• Fires up to 260FPS.
• Full V2 upgrade compatibility.

Top Long Range Rifle: CYMA MP5 SMG

CYMA is one of the most reputable gel blaster manufacturers on the market and the MP5 SMG is an ideal long range rifle for casual or competitive play in Australia.

It’s also great as a CQB, featuring 18:1 metal hearts and an aluminium internal barrel. At a price range of under $280, it is one of the best in its category. While a small magazine may pose a minor problem, it’s nothing that can’t be corrected with a simple upgrade. Once you have done this, you can tap into the following features;

• Full nylon construction.
• Built-in foregrip.
• Very durable handle.
• FPS capability of 260.
• Full V2 upgrade compatibility.

 

Great For All Users: Double Bell “Value Line” M4SS

The Double Bell Value Line includes several great products, but the M4SS is arguably the best model it has ever produced. Not least because it’s ideal for beginners and veterans alike.

A thick and solid construction feels as great as it looks. The full metal gearbox makes it the highest-performing standard unit despite still sitting at a price point of under $300. Its precision and power are virtually unbeatable at this price point. While it can be modified, the out-of-box features include but are not limited to;

• Built-in aluminium hop up.
• FPS capability of 320-350
• Metal V2 gearbox.
• Metal magazine.
• Extendable butt.

Top Full Metal Model: Golden Eagle HK416D 

While the HK417D is bigger, it’s the HK416D that is our selection for the best Golden Eagle product on the market. It’s weighty, beautifully designed, and a great performer.

A quad rail handguard takes the weight up to 4KG and it certainly feels sturdy on the playfield. Its firing range of up to 30M is highly impressive and may be extended further with the right modifications, as can the 220 gel balls capacity. At under $700, it’s competitively priced for a very accurate full metal gel blaster while its top features are;

• Fire power of 350FPS.
• Very realistic and detailed body markings.
• Safe, single, and auto-action modes.
• Removable 20mm metal iron sight.
• Hop up included.

Best Licensed: Golden Eagle GBBR

The Golden Eagle GBBR is fully licensed and will make you look and feel like a legend at your next event. The Daniel Defence markings on the receiver, handguard, and grip look incredible.

A fire power of 350FPS underlines that the beauty is equaled by high-quality performance. As the latest release in the GBBR range, it also features a unique flash hider. There is an enhanced bolt on the side too, which reduces the threat of failures. It’s a costly model, but well worth the price for anyone who is serious about their gel blasting activities. Key features are;

• Available in tan or black.
• Extendable butt stock.
• Built-in hop up.
• Full metal parts with marking.
• Safety, auto, and single firing modes.
