What to Look for in a Gas Pistol in 2025

2025 is a pretty exciting time to be a gel blaster enthusiast, but there’s almost too much choice. Take a second to search online or browse the virtual aisles of GBU, and you might struggle to narrow down the options. There are some incredible gas pistols on the market today, so how do you choose? Key factors to look for and consider when shopping for a new gas pistol for your collection include:

1. Price

In an ideal world, budget wouldn’t be a barrier, but for most people, it is. Setting a budget can help you filter results and find a gas pistol that suits your requirements. If you have a price in mind, and you need advice about getting the best deal for your money, don’t hesitate to give the GBU team a shout. Generally speaking, we think the Double Bell Glock range is a great product if getting bang for your buck is a top priority. 

2. Performance

There’s a big difference between a good gas pistol and a top-end gel blaster that’s crafted for high-performance shooting. When you’re shortlisting, think about how important performance is to you. If you’re a novice or you’re in it for the fun, you probably don’t want to spend the extra on a pistol with all the mod cons. If perfection is key, you might be looking for the best of the best. For top-notch performance, it’s hard to beat the Golden Eagle Glock range. 

3. Modification and customisation

Some people live to modify and customise their gel blasters. If this is your game, look for 100% modifiable pistols that give you the freedom to run wild.
