Hasta La Gadget!

Xploderz are available in four flavors. Pictured is the XRanger 2000.

Paintball is fun, except for the painful bruises that remind you of that fun a week after the fact. And mega water guns like the Super Soaker are great, but… There’s just something so satisfying about pelting someone with actual, individual pellets.

Enter Xploderz, a (frankly mind-blowing) Nerf-styled, Super Soaker/paintball gun hybrid.

The ammo? Small balls made of an absorbent hydrophillic polymer composed of acrylic acid, sodium hydroxide, water and a little coloring. Although not as painful as being hit by a paintball, the balls could sting when they make contact. If one accidentally gets shot down your gullet, they’re non-toxic, but not recommended as a supplement to your daily diet. They could also pose a choking risk to children and the choke prone.

The guns are available in three models: the 11.5-inch, 50-foot range XBlaster 200; the 18-inch, 75-foot range XStormer 100; or the monstrous 36-inch, 85-foot range XBlaster 2000.

If you’ve got two kids, or want to make sure you always have an armed opponent, you can get a power pack of not one, but two XBlaster 200s called the Face Off 400.

With Father’s Day coming up, a family set of Xploderz could make the perfect gift. Dads love this sort of thing. Right, dads?
