Gel blasters in Australia could be described as having a serious moment right now. With new tech, better builds, and a thriving skirmish scene, 2025 has been one of the biggest years yet for anyone upgrading their loadout. Among gas-powered gear, especially green gas gel blaster pistols, performance has leapt forward, and players are seeking out realistic recoil, premium materials, and the smartest designs.
In the middle of that evolution stands a remarkable piece of kit that is turning heads for all the right reasons - the already iconic Golden Eagle Blitz Grenade Launcher. Below, we break down what makes the Blitz such a monster, and run through the best gas-powered sidearms that deserve a spot in your rig this year.
Why Green Gas Gel Blaster Pistols are Dominating 2025
If you have spent time in the field recently, it’s likely that you have noticed more players holstering gas pistols or rocking hybrid launcher sidearms. There’s a reason for that. Well, in fact, there are several…
More power and realism
Green gas systems deliver a sharp, satisfying blowback and improved cycling - the kind of realistic feel that you’re just not going to get with basic spring and electric pistols, and something serious players value highly.
Better build quality
Gas blasters often use metal internals, alloy sides, reinforced nozzles and upgraded barrels. This delivers a reliable performance level you can literally feel, and it comes with greater longevity.
Faster follow-up shots
Gas systems reset rapidly and hit the target consistently, giving you a responsive, tactical edge that is invaluable in CQB where moments matter.
Heaps of aftermarket upgrades
Optics, slides, grips, barrels, mag upgrades, and much, much more besides. It’s actually easy - almost too easy - to fall down the customisation rabbit hole
All of the above makes green gas pistols and launchers the go-to category for players who are looking for that sweet spot that lies between realism, power, and pure fun.
Spotlight: Golden Eagle Blitz Grenade Launcher
Easily the most entertaining shooter you’ll bring to the field this year
The Golden Eagle Blitz Grenade Launcher isn’t just your standard pistol, and that’s precisely why it’s blowing up (pun intended or not, depending on whether you found it funny) in 2025. It’s compact, aggressive, tactical, and built for players who are keen to make an impact without the need to carry around a full-sized launcher.
Ambidextrous design
Whether you’re left-hand dominant, right-handed, or like to switch things up during close-in combat, the Blitz keeps things smooth. Its ambidextrous controls make it extremely user-friendly, even when the adrenaline is high and fine motor skills aren’t picking up the call.
High-capacity gel grenades
This is where the Golden Eagle Blitz becomes just flat-out fun. It is compatible with gel grenades that fire off 80 gel balls per shot in a wide, satisfying blast pattern that really makes a mark in close-quarters and room-clearing scenarios.
Less time for reloads, plus a bigger spread, equals a bad day to be getting in your way.
Built like a tank
Golden Eagle haven’t taken any prisoners when it comes to the build. Check it out:
- A full metal and polymer chassis
- Metal Picatinny top rail
- Velocity of up to 330 FPS
- Weighs 750g without grenade, 950g with
It all adds up to a sidearm that is tough, compact, and feels solid in hand. It’s more like a compact tactical tool than a novelty launcher.
Top-level performance
If they didn’t know you were packing a Blitz before, they will once they run into you. It delivers blistering close-range impact and unparalleled spread, typical of green gas-powered shells. The speed of firing is impressive, and when allied to the gas system you can look forward to consistent firing no matter what stage of the match you’re at.
You’re not dealing with a long-range precision instrument here - this is a tool for maximum destruction when taking out corner campers.
High-value customisation options
The modularity of the Golden Eagle Blitz speaks volumes about who designed it; it’s someone who actually plays. You can tell, because the customisation options are the kind of thing you actually want.
- Removable M4-style pistol grip: can be swapped out for whatever grip suits your hold.
- Swivel hook: Attach the sling of your choice
- Picatinny rail: supports a red dot or laser for style points (and easier target acquisition).
- Shell compatibility: allows you to stock up and cycle multiple grenades at speed.
All in all, the Golden Eagle Blitz is fun to use and satisfying to carry - and ridiculously effective. There’s been no need to reinvent the wheel here. They’ve just made the wheel better.
