This is the MP5-style gel blaster that comes in a bright yellow box as the Crystal Bullet Gun, part of a Water Bullet Gun series. It is a compact submachine-gun shape with a short stock, a curved magazine and a long black barrel extension ringed in green, and it feeds from a blue, grenade-shaped hopper on top. The crystal bullets of the name are water gel beads, the same ammunition Pakistani shops sell as orbeez.

Almost every surface is printed in a dense graffiti pattern of yellow, blue, pink and green tags, cartoon faces and lettering, with blue edging on the magazine and an orange tip where the barrel meets the body. It is a loud, playful look, and it reads as a toy from across the garden, which many parents prefer.

Before a game the beads need a soak. Dry crystal bullets are tiny and hard; left in plain water for a few hours they grow into soft, clear beads that fill the blue hopper. On impact a soaked bead splits apart and the pieces dry away, so there are no hard pellets to sweep up afterwards.

It is an electric blaster. The back of the box is a functional diagram that shows the hopper and barrel pieces being fitted and the battery being installed, and the front lists vibration together with a flash effect. The box also notes that its other barrel configurations are sold separately, so this set is the gun as pictured, with the long barrel extension.

The box is marked 6 and over, younger than most gel blasters, and the MP5's short length suits smaller hands. For children under eight we suggest a grown-up runs the game, and every player should wear glasses or goggles, which are not part of this set. Agree a no-faces rule and play outdoors.
