FlankBlast Sidearm-C Compact Gel Ball Blaster
$49.99
Compact, pistol-style electric gel ball blaster with semi-auto fire, a removable magazine, and a permanently affixed orange muzzle marking. Goggles in the box. Ages 14+.
Safety & markings
This is a recreational gel ball blaster, not a firearm. A blaze-orange muzzle marking is permanently affixed and must not be removed, covered, or painted over. For ages 14+. The purchaser must be 18 or older. Wear the included impact-rated goggles — and require the same of everyone on the field — before the first round. Play only on private property or at a site where you have permission. Do not aim at faces, animals, or anyone who is not playing. Use only hydrated gel balls of the size listed below. Store dry and hydrated gel balls away from young children; they can be a choking hazard and are not a children’s water-bead toy. Keep a compact blaster in a bag or case when you carry it to and from the field so it is not mistaken for a real firearm. Follow all laws where you live and where you play.
Description
Small footprint. Quick to run.
The FlankBlast Sidearm-C is a compact, pistol-style electric gel ball blaster for players who want a smaller platform on the field or a second blaster in the loadout. Semi-auto fire, a removable magazine, and a grip that sits naturally in one hand. The look is clean and tactical. The orange muzzle marking is permanent, and it stays visible.
Because it is compact, the Sidearm-C is easy to carry between rounds and easy to store when the match is over. It uses the same hydrated gel balls as our full-size Ridge-16, so one refill pack can feed both platforms. A built-in rechargeable battery charges with the included cable — no separate pack to seat before a short game.
Goggles ship in the box. Eyes on before the first trigger pull.
Why the Sidearm-C
- Semi-auto electric action. Each trigger pull launches one hydrated gel ball. No pump stroke between shots.
- Removable magazines. Two magazines are included so you can swap and keep playing. (Exact capacity is listed in the specifications and should be confirmed before launch.)
- Built-in rechargeable battery. Charge with the included USB-C cable. A charge indicator shows when you are ready.
- Compact carry. Short overall length for a sidearm role or a smaller-stature player who still meets the 14+ age line.
- Two colorways. Black or Wolf Grey, both with the same blaze-orange muzzle marking.

Get it ready
- Charge first. Connect the included USB-C cable to a standard USB power adapter (adapter not included unless the final pack list says otherwise). Charge on a hard, non-flammable surface until the indicator shows a full charge.
- Hydrate the gel balls. Soak dry gel balls in room-temperature water for the time listed on the pack, then drain well.
- Load the magazines. Fill each magazine with drained gel balls. Do not force overfilled or dry balls into the feed lips.
- Goggles on. Put impact-rated eye protection on before you test the trigger. Everyone in the match should already have goggles on.
- Check the field. Private property or a booked site, with consent.
After play, clear both magazines, wipe down moisture, and store the blaster and leftover gel balls away from young children. If you transport the Sidearm-C, use a bag or case and keep the orange marking visible if the blaster is not fully covered.
FAQ
Is this a replica firearm?
No. The Sidearm-C is a compact recreational gel ball blaster. We do not brand it as a replica of any firearm, and we do not use firearm trademarks in the name or description. It launches hydrated gel balls only.
Is it semi-auto or auto?
Semi-auto. One trigger pull, one gel ball. If you want single-shot and auto on a full-size platform, look at the Ridge-16.
Does it use the same gel balls as the Ridge-16?
Yes, as long as both products are confirmed to use the same 7–8 mm hydrated size. One refill pack can supply both blasters.
Can I remove the orange tip?
No. The marking is permanently affixed and must remain visible. Removing or covering it is not allowed and may be unlawful.
Who can buy and use it?
The product is for ages 14+. The person placing the order must be 18 or older.
