What actually differs
- SplatRBall SRB1200 claims 210 fps against 150 fps for the Nerf Pro Gelfire Uproar, about 40% faster on paper. Faster shots fly flatter and sting more; for younger or mixed-age players the slower blaster is usually the better host's choice.
- The SplatRBall SRB1200 holds 1200 rounds to the Nerf Pro Gelfire Uproar's 400, so Nerf Pro Gelfire Uproar players reload 3× as often in a long game.
- Ammo runs $0.75 per 1,000 for the SplatRBall SRB1200 and $0.90 for the Nerf Pro Gelfire Uproar, based on each brand's own refill pack. Over 10,000 rounds of play that is $7.50 versus $9.00.
Which one to get
- Nerf Pro Gelfire Uproar: A first gel blaster that ships with a big ammo supply Watch out: Runs on 8 alkaline batteries (not included); Hasbro's own copy says AA in one place and AAA in another, so check the box.
- SplatRBall SRB1200: Long games: the biggest drum in our catalog (1,200 rounds) Watch out: Uses SplatRBall certified 7.5mm ammo, and battery runtime is not published.
