Why Are There Always Gel Balls Left in Your Gel Blaster Magazine?

If your gel blaster stops firing and you pull out the magazine, you may notice a few gel balls dropping out. At first, this can look like a malfunction: the blaster is not shooting, but there are still gel balls inside.

The small number left in the feed path cannot reach the chamber once the magazine is removed. Keeping the magazine properly seated, using consistently soaked gel balls and cleaning the feed tube regularly will help maintain smooth performance.
