Splatrball SRB400 vs SRB1200 Gel Blasters - What's the difference between them? Which one is better?

[@alexlopez3293]

My question is would it hold its quality long-term and not have any problems because I seen the comment of the gears messing up that’s what I am worried about if I wasted $100 on a gun that would break in two months

[@engineerable]

It's not a durable blaster. I haven't had a lot of issues, but many people have. I think a lot of problems are caused by shooting full auto for too long periods of time. So keep your shots in short bursts.

[@jadenr9671]

Loving the gel blaster videos keep up the good work!

[@engineerable]

Thanks 👍

[@Judge_Jon]

I almost commented that someone already tested the blue led's inside the gun and they work to get the tracer glow. Good thing I paid attention or I would have linked you your own video....

@@engineerable Does the splatrball gun shoot more accurately than the UnlocX gel blaster gun? And does it shoot more accurately ONLY in semi-auto mode or does it shoot more accurately than the UnlocX in auto mode as well?

[@engineerable]

@@qlixte1896 Splatrball sucks in semi auto. Before buying one, I thought semi auto would be preferred mode, but with Gel blasters, it's better to have it on full auto and shoot bursts. UNLOCX has comparable accuracy and FPS in pistol mode, which is cool because it's a much shorter gun.

[@maxridesbikes8466]

Old one looks better, hopefully getting one for my bday

[@tylerpham5609]

I have recently gotten an srb 400, and I think they have updated the battery To one more similar to the Seb 1200.

[@engineerable]

Good to know. My SRB400 was purchased around February, so they changed the battery sometime since then.

[@DennisSanner]

Both have had 7.4V 1800 mAh Li-Ion batteries since they started. Strain reliefs were added to 400 cable connectors later.

@@engineerablecan you take the tip off of the SRB1200?

[@villainous69]

I was able to constantly shoot 5 mags on the SRB400 before the gears stripped. I wonder if they'll upgrade to metal gears

[@engineerable]

That sucks! I doubt Splatrball will sell with metal gears. Gel blasters or airsoft guns that come stock with metal gears cost $200+ I believe that the reason the gears strip so quickly in Splatrball is that they don't have the motor adjustment screw that pushes the motor into the bevel gear for proper engagement. Here's my metal gear upgrade, but ain't for the faint of heart - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaCXo2hjjddsabc

[@ConnorStizzy]

I might be getting a srb 1200 probably later today but I wish they had a single shot mode

[@engineerable]

Tbh single shot mode sucks. It often shoots 2 at a time, which reduces accuracy. If I want to shoot one shot, I usually leave it on full auto and just quickly pull the trigger. It works better than single shot.

[@ConnorStizzy]

@@engineerable ya thats true I was thinking about that and if I'm in a fight or something with my friends im more than likely not gonna use a single shot

[@engineerable]

@@ConnorStizzy Plus with Gel blasters relatively poor accuracy at a distance, you need to fire bursts in the hopes that one will hit.

Does the splatrball gun shoot more accurately than the UnlocX gel blaster gun? And does it shoot more accurately ONLY in semi-auto mode or does it shoot more accurately than the UnlocX in auto mode as well?

[@qlixte1896]

@@engineerable So having the longer barrel attachment equipped on the UnlocX makes it less accurate, but taking that off so the barrel becomes as short as possible makes it comparable and similar to the splatrball gun in accuracy? Does the longer barrel attachment really reduce accuracy that much? Or can it be negligible?

[@engineerable]

@@qlixte1896 The barrel extension does reduce accuracy. The problem is that the extension has a much larger ID, and therefore the air can flow around the gel balls and the balls can roll along the wall creating an uncontrolled spin. The gel balls spin off all over the place when the extension is on. Cylinder volume to barrel length ratio, and gel ball spin (hop up) are the factors that affect accuracy more than barrel length. I will be modding the UNLOCX extension with a hop up, and that should prove accuracy.

[@qlixte1896]

@@engineerable Is the brand of the Gel balls I'm using for the Unlocx a huge factor that affects accuracy as well? Thanks to you, I now plan on getting 2 UnlocX guns but I don't know if buying cheap off brand Gel balls instead of the UnlocX branded Gel balls for my ammo will make the gun shoot the cheap off brand balls less accurately. Have you ever used off brand Gel balls? Is there even a difference in accuracy at all?

[@engineerable]

@@qlixte1896 Most of my testing has been done with the stock UNLOCX gel balls, which are average/cheap quality. Hardened gel balls usually improve accuracy, range and reliability.
