Creator-Backed Toy Guns

MrBeast Teams Up With NERF For a Custom 300-Round Gelfire Blaster Gun

— December 6, 2022 — Life-Stages
YouTube’s most-subscribed-to channel is MrBeast, a variety content creator known for his extravagant and philanthropic projects. The creator recently teased a new MrBeast edition of Nerf’s ‘Pro Gelfire Mythic’ blaster in his recent video, and now official imagery of the collaboration has been unveiled. The limited-edition Nerf Pro Gelfire comes with 20,000 dried soft polymer projectiles that need to be soaked in water to be used. The toy weapon is decorated in the hot pink and blue colors of MrBeast's wild cat emblem. Additionally, its high-velocity, super-absorbent hydrated bullets don't need to be picked up since they explode on contact.

Attached to the blaster are a transparent 300-capacity hopper, removable barrel, extendable stock, protective eyewear, and an easy “slide-in slide-out” rechargeable battery. The blaster can fire up to 10 rounds per second with both semi-auto and full-auto modes. Hasbro Pulse, Target, Amazon, and other select retailers are currently accepting pre-orders for the NERF Pro Gelfire x MrBeast Full Blaster.
