hello everyone my name is Brett and sometimes I wear a beret and I mustache you a question what
do you think about gel ball seriously because I have some mixed thoughts but for the most part
I haven't been very interested in gel ball blasters and that should be reflected by the
fact that I don't review any gel blasters on my channel I like foam dart blasters foam flinging
of all types one thing popped up that made it difficult to ignore gel blasters because Nerf
did it themselves the Nerf gel fire line or the Nerf pro gel fire mythic and I made a video about
that Blaster when it was first announced because I had some mixed feelings as I've said in the
title Nerf gel fire got me mixed and I rewatched that video recently to see if my opinions were
unchanged and for the most part yeah because a lot of what I talked about in that video was well gel
ball is not the worst thing ever but it's not really for me and I don't understand why Nerf
is going with it I'm not sure I understand them chasing what seems to be them chasing a trend of
gel blasters but well here we are the blaster's out as you can see behind me the Nerf gel fire
mythic is now in stores earlier than expected it was supposed to be out like November 1st and
it showed up at least a month before that but the true Twist of the century is Nerf called
my bluff for the first time ever on my channel Nerf has sent me a product for review purposes
and it is in fact a jail fire mythic it is a big deal for me this has never happened I do very much
appreciate it and it does sort of feel poetic I made some claims might as well check it out
and well it's um it's not that that's actually an empty box this is what I got pro gel fire hashtag
fuel your Firebox or what does it say on the bottom burst into battle get it because the the
gel things they they burst on impact which is not something that Nerf darts do so yes Nerf sent me
this product free of charge for review purposes obviously then I'm a little bit biased when it
comes to receiving this free product I do greatly appreciate it fun fact I got to test a gel fire
mythic a couple months ago at San Diego Comic-Con admittedly then too it was an early release
version and they said all those were prototypes and not the final release version but I'm gonna
say they were pretty much the same as what I've got now in this box I've got one more other thing
that we need to talk talk about but let's look at the Blaster first and what's all in this box
whoosh why are we still here just to suffer whoosh okay epic fail so let's actually look inside this
thing you got the gel fire mythic you've got the little description on top which is the same as
you'd get with the regular box but the blaster is exactly what I remember when I previously tested
it this is the gel fire mythic a relatively compact gel ball Blaster with a retractable
stock and a removable muzzle now this is not an N-Strike specific stock this actually is a
little bit smaller but the idea is about the same the special thing on this is there's a secret
compartment on the bottom so down here we've got a pre-filled hopper with gel fire rounds full of
water that says use the drainage cap found in this box to drain excess water from the hopper before
use you should not be using this full of water when you put it into your blaster that will not
go well there's some eye protection here charging cable for the battery the batteries right here as
well little instructions as well and then a few extra gel fire pellets the rechargeable Lithium
Polymer battery included is quite small because it's meant to fit into the handle of the Blaster
it will come slightly charged for storage charge so definitely make sure you charge
it before using it but it slaps in nice and easy into the Blaster then you just hit these two tabs
on the side to pull it back out it's actually quite satisfying to put it into the Blaster
like such I like the overall look of this Blaster I'm not gonna lie it's pretty compact which means
it works well for me the Stock's a good length for me when it's extended but at the same time
if you put it in like this I can also choke up on it and make it work really well at the same
time it's easy to point easy for me works really well with my height because I'm small the grip on
this Blaster is okay it's a little chunky in some ways because it does need to fit that battery but
overall it's not uncomfortable compared to a lot of other blasters Nerf has put out this one is
totally fine and those little bit at the front where you can put your secondary hand is also I
guess a nice inclusion I find myself often putting my hand up here because you would also use that
to turn the dial that is from off to semi-auto to full auto there's a tiny little rival style
picatinny rail up here which I don't really know what it's good for I suppose you could put like a
camera there but again you will need like a rival style Picatinny this is not regular picatinny rail
and the hopper goes right there we'll get to that and then there's a longer section of it down here
which I I just don't know exactly what you're going to put there it feels nice and solid this
is the nerve quality that we want to see on all blasters they did a good job with this design I
wish like others it kind of just ended like this unfortunately we do have to throw one little thing
extra on top of it though now I've got the hopper which I'm obviously holding upside down it has
the Nerf pro gel fire logo on only one side it is a sticker this thing is squishy plastic and
it is meant to be like that so that you can drain excess water out when you're squeezing this thing
definitely make sure you get excess water out of this Hopper before putting it into the blaster
so to insert it you will rotate to one side twist into place and it should be locked in
the amount of rotation needed for that to become unlocked is like what is that 45 degrees this is
where my limited knowledge of other gel fire a gel ball I'm always saying gel fire now gel ball
products comes in as a major disadvantage but I don't know I feel like there's an awfully High
chance of this becoming dislodged if I played a little too hard with it and now ultimately we've
got the full look of the gel fire mythic making it a little bit impossible to aim down sights
unless I do that high to operate the Blaster make sure the safety is off in the forward position
I'm going to extend the stock and now on the back you get your three firing modes
or I should say two firing modes one of them is currently off if you turn it into single
it will start to Blink blink it's in single fire and if you rotate it all the way to the
right it will show just one always on light that means it's in full auto because I like
you I'm gonna fire it a few times inside I'm gonna regret it immediately I'm also putting
on the eye protection that they included which I think is definitely the right idea because these
things are probably going to bounce back and I'm going to regret it immediately ah
man that sound was awful the sound of the Blaster firing is interesting admittedly when I've heard
it on other people's videos it's a little bit louder and when hearing it at Comic-Con maybe
it was just a confined space it was just very noticeable too it's not as bad in person I suppose
but I do imagine that firing this for an extended period of time that sound is either going to
grate on you or you're just going to be complete completely numb to it the sound that I just heard
was Joe fire rounds bouncing off my wall into a million pieces craziest thing was to see just a
pit of this at Comic-Con where everyone had fired oh man it's like uh The Unwanted snowstorm of gel
fire pellets the remains of them if you shoot the gel fire rounds onto a softer surface there's a
good chance they won't break and then you could possibly put them back into the hopper which again
to take off you'll probably want to flip it over then rotate and now you've got access they are
orange they're Nerf orange which you know good color choice I suppose the performance on this
Blaster is not too crazy high compared to other Nerf blasters yes it does fire a little bit harder
like in the 130s to 150s is what I typically see definitely some shots under that and that can be
due to the um you know the uniform size of the gel balls you will need three to four hours to
enlarge these which I'm assuming is typical for other gel wall blasters definitely use clean water
don't like dump them in a pool or something you'll not get those back when I first heard that this
Blaster was coming out and kind of the discussion about gel ball in general I was like I don't know
if Nerf should be doing that because I don't think Nerf should be getting into something that sounds
potentially dangerous and again I'm not super super well educated on all things gel ball I just
know that there are some out there that hit pretty dang hard and people are using them as if they
don't right like some people run around with like really low powered Nerf blasters and be like oh
that's fine and then they don't realize like what a high-powered Nerf blaster can do and why people
are always recommending eyewear eye protection for games or just any general play and when I
heard about gel blasters I was like oh shoot like definitely make sure you're being safe around
those ironically the fact that this doesn't hit very hard makes me feel that it almost does line
up more as a Nerf blaster it does seem to have some problems if you continuously fire it you will
have to give it a few shakes to get through this entire Hopper on Full Auto I've seen that as you
know something with other blasters as well other gel blasters on the market but others have also
rectified this over time with like magazines all this Blaster isn't claiming to do anything super
super crazy in the gel ball world for Nerf's first gel ball Blaster the Nerf gel fire mythic I guess
I don't hate it but I'm also not overly impressed and I really become a lot less impressed when I
compare it to other gel blasters on the market but I don't know if that's a fair thing for me to do
when I don't know all about them the quality of the overall shell is there but for eighty
dollars this is definitely a pricey entry point for gel ball blasting even in my quick research
if they are continuing down the gel fire route I'm assuming they're going to improve upon this
design the rechargeable battery is definitely a great addition I like the overall design language
it'd be great if they could do something a little bit different than this massive Hopper on the top
but for what it is I'm not completely disappointed in this product my main problem is that I just
don't have anywhere to play with this thing not the same way that I'd play with my other Nerf
blasters but I suppose that's more of a personal problem but okay you guys already knew that the
gel fire mythic was the greatest Blaster of all time I didn't need to make a full video for that
what else is coming out about this Blaster well in my last video I actually talked about something
that was teased on our favorite app Tick Tock my favorite app no Tick Tock is a place a place for
wonderful things and apparently Tick Tock is the place for Nerf competitions you didn't know that
well now you do and one thing that was teased last time we looked at Tick Tock was something from an
NBA star who actually shared a video of a gel fire mythic and something that was soon to come
and Nerf actually shared a little bit more about that too are you ready for the gel fire challenge

or person be nice to Nerf be nice to Hasbro submit entries from multiple Tick Tock accounts
don't do that again or submits an entry after the expiration of the contest period again if you miss
a day I think that means you're out you're out for the week you're out for the whole thing and then
there's a few more details down here but those are the big details that people should know if they
want to enter you should definitely read through this if you are considering entering this contest
and you're actually looking to put in the work to make 30 tick tocks for this competition Zoop
holy smokes this is a lot I know there are people who post like daily YouTube videos or who post
multiple tick tocks a day 30 days straight 30 videos about the gel fire mythic I'm a creative
guy I I'm comfortable saying that right I come up with a lot of ideas but 95 of the ideas of what
I have to do with this thing I can't make a video about because I think I'd get disqualified I want
to have some good goofy fun but it sounds like I've got to meet some pretty specific criteria in
order to stay safe in this competition because if I make a mistake for at least one of those entries
there's a chance that I might risk the whole thing and actually just going back really quickly to the
post there was one additional little clarification on the actual Tick Tock must own the Nerf gel Fire
Blaster used as part of your entry as of the start of the promotion to be eligible so going into this
video I will admit I was a bit ahead of the game I had three tick tocks ready to go because I had
some footage from Comic-Con and some other short style material that I was like yes I know what to
do and I'll make interesting tick tocks well after reading that description I don't think
they qualify because it wasn't using my gel fire mythic it was using a sample at Comic-Con and my
dog really is getting upset and given the stakes of this whole thing I don't want to risk it so I
guess I have zero cool when does the competition start oh good less than a week and I'm not going
to share a bunch of those shorts or tick tocks on YouTube as shorts though admittedly one of those
tick tocks will probably translate fine so screw it you're getting one of my recycled ones instead
I will not bore you or overwhelm you with all the things that I attempt to post on Tick Tock I tried
to be the Nerf CTO which failed spectacularly I tried for the Nerf hyper tournament which also
didn't go too well but thinking back to like the hyper tournament there were like articles about
this thing eight people who were able to win or get on teams and then compete for the grand
prize and you didn't need a hyper Blaster to then qualify with the people who did qualify got hyper
blasters and then were able to compete the only promotion for this seems to be on Tick Tock and
that Tick Tock in particular doesn't have that many views so I really don't know how many people
know about this one I haven't seen any articles about it and admittedly the more you think about
the tournament itself or the competition whatever you want to call it how many people are going to
enter this I can tell you less than five that I know are definitely going to be doing that one
of them being me and I'd also typically want a little bit more time before thinking about
making that many videos the hyper tournament I feel like had a greater window of time that you
could submit something and you only needed to do one do I hope to take at least one week away from
this as a Victor I sure as heck hope so because at the end of the day Nerf has given me the tools to
compete in this thing they're looking out for me they want me to compete they want me to make them
some interesting content oh yeah that's that's the point of it isn't it maybe in a month or so I will
return to you guys 30 000 richer so root for me follow me on Tick Tock if you'd like to see this
um interesting experience follow the hashtag or check in on the hashtag to see what other people
are doing maybe some people who I'm completely not expecting and don't know at all will come
in and absolutely take this competition from all of us Nerf enthusiasts and if you guys have any
thoughts or recommendations I'd love to hear from you in the comments section down below because
I'm so behind on this and I should probably be doing those right now making tick tocks instead
of making this video thank you everyone so much for watching thank you again to Nerf for sending
me this Blaster and very clearly challenging me to the Nerf gel fire challenge on tick tock
