SUMMARY: Gel blaster toy guns, popular for their bright colors and fun, can cause serious injury and dangerous situations when mistaken for real firearms. Police warn these toys have led to incidents where bystanders or victims, fearing for their lives, responded with real guns. In one case, a teen using a gel blaster triggered a real shooting after a man thought he was under attack. These toys, sometimes painted or altered to look realistic, pose risks beyond play, potentially leading to felony charges if used to threaten or harm. Authorities urge caution, emphasizing the importance of treating any gun-like object as real for safety.

Gel blaster guns, a popular toy among teens, have caused serious injury. And that isn’t the only danger. The gel blasters, when mistaken for an actual firearm, can lead to even more danger.
