I Tested FAKE Gel Blaster Surge and Compare It To The Real GB Surge Gel Ball Blaster Like Splatrball

Let's see if this Gel Blaster Surge FAKE COPY is as good as the real thing. I'm naming it the SCOURGE. I don't promote buying knock-off designed products. It hurts the inventor and confuses and disappoints the consumer. I bought this simply to test and prove why you should buy the real thing.
First of all, the real SURGE is not much more expensive, only about $10 more. It's not worth the price difference to buy the fake SCOURGE. The one advantage of the SCOURGE is the removable battery.

They are similar. I've played using the Fake SCOURGE against friends using the real SURGE. The slightly lower FPS of the Fake Surge meant that they could shoot further and hit me when I could not even reach them. Also, I have to use hardened gels, otherwise, it smashes a lot of the stock gels. I prefer the replaceable battery of the fake one, but I don't like to support fake products, so I would not buy more of these. It's not much cheaper and not as good.

The SURGE uses a gearbox-driven piston that is a typical design of gel blasters and airsoft. It is the same gearbox uses in the popular STD M1911. All the gears, piston, piston housing, and inner barrel are plastic. The motor is not a standard size that I could find. The motor is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Although this battery is not easily accessible, it uses a common connector, so it could be easily changed if it died completely. The circuit board charges the Li-ion battery through a USB C connector. Power to the motor is directly controlled by a micro switch.
The battery dimensions are 46.5 x 21.3 x 11.7 mm. The connector appears to be a JST-PH2 which are 2mm pitch vs the commonly used in RC Hobby JST-XH which are 2.54mm pitch (0.1"). JST-PH2 connectors can be identified by the single straight guide on the front, vs the JST-XH connectors have 2 barb-shaped guides on the front. A battery like this with the JST-PH2 connectors is less common. Also most 500mah 2s Lipo batteries for RC seem to be ~55mm x 30mm x 14mm which is a little bit larger, and will be a tight squeeze or require some trimming of plastic between the PCB and motor to fit. That makes me wonder if the 500mah rating on the Gel Blaster battery is true. The size appears to be more similar to 400mah batteries.
This is the closest battery I've found with the same size JST-PH2 (E-flite micro connector) connector. Dimensions: 48x29x11mm The wire looks shorter though, so not sure how well it will reach.

Ill bet the "knock off" is a test revision that was not used so the company sold it off. A lot of Chinese mold companies do this. They will sell off the molds that aren't used for real company's mass production. They will claim the molds were destroyed or tossed and someone must have recovered them "oh no how did that happen" but nah... they sell that stuff off. its expensive to make molds and just let someone else make them for you right?

Interesting that the scourge lights up with the surge doesn't... Usually the knockoffs go cheaper, so I wonder if that was originally planned by the surge and they scrapped it? I don't know if I've seen knockoffs where they try to one-up the original??? Sure definitely fires better so I wonder if the extra battery energy used to light up the deflectors in the front takes away from the firing power of the gun? Would be interesting to find out what happened with the surge and if they planned to light the deflectors up then abandoned those plans.

They likely have this manufactured in china and the company that assembles it either sold the design or has another assmebly line where they make the exact thing with a different name and sell it worldwide. In order to prevent this when you have a factory in china mass produce your product, you need a copyright in China as well otherwise they won't care if you have one in the USA. And the subtle differences are how they avoid lawsuits where the copright is applicable.

The made in china sticker on the box was a give away

@ryanokeefe12 Год назад

It clearly shows that it's made in china on the barcode sticker.. not sure how this was missed on the video. Copyright is pointless in China. Their Chinese governments do nothing to prevent it, and stopping one manufacturer only solves the problem for a few days, before another manufacturer sees an opening... I know of people that have gone oversees to confront manufacturers, only to be met with armed staff and police who escorted them off of the manufacturers property (the police are not copyright law upholders). There are only two ways to beat conterfeit items being made/sold (especially in China); 1) Be such a large company that the manufacturer wouldn't dare to make a clone of your product, putting them at risk of losing the contract to manufacture the original product, or, 2) Complete the assembly of the product locally with parts sourced from different manufacturers and always be ahead of the curve with new products or updates to existing products. Most people who deal with China for manufacturing won't be a giant company so they only have the second option. Keeping the assembly local and sourcing parts from multiple manufacturers stops any one manufacturer having the complete design required to make the product. Despite this, clones will eventually begin to turn up, but making sure your own product is either updated to make it perform better than the clones or you've already moved on to a different product means you're always selling something that has additional value and therefore, gives people a reason to source it from you, OR, you've already made a new product and that new product is not yet being copied so you maintain your market position at the top.

I have a 1/28 rc car that has a 400mah lipo. What you had in your hand looked very similar to that. Definitely over rated mah on yours. One more thing when a product is made in China it is no longer protected by copyright protection and it is perfectly okay for one company to copy another company without any laws being broken.

Right on, finally someone with some proper experience confirming false battery ratings.

@raohfan6256 Год назад

No. It is just the cost of enforcing the law. Did you see anyone faking Huawei or OnePlus phone in China? Nope bcs they have a team of lawyers who can kick your ass if you do that in China. Guess if someone fakes Huawei phone in the US, what Huawei can do? Also, as long as they didn’t patent in China, anyone is free to patent. Just like the patent thief case in the US as well. You need to prove you are the original author and they steal it from you. Again, the cost is what matters. If the Surge people are ambitious, they should patent it in China early on as well. Assuming the Surge is the original design and they patented in the US, it is just insane to assume the same patent will be automatically effective in China or the rest of the world. It’s different countries. What do you think China is? Part of the US? Then you guys will have Chinese President everything term then. Lastly, the product should not be imported into the US if there is a patent accepted by the US patent officer. The US custom is the one to blame by letting it in.

@@raohfan6256 when a US company has a product made in China such as Traxxas. The Chinese copy it...rebrand it and sell it . You can challenge the Chinese government but it seldom takes you anywhere.

@raohfan6256 Год назад

@@NBC_NCO Yes, I agreed with you on challenging the China government part. But that’s when you got people who already stole your intellectual property and patented it before you can. It’s too late to be honest at this point. What I would do, if I’m the supply chain manager of this company, I would advise the higher up management applying for the patent application in China before the product design and spcs being sent to the Chinese manufacturer. And I can easily sue the manufacturer for millions of patent fees in the court. Especially when you have a patent already, it’s a easy win. This is actually what the most of the US companies have been doing lately. And honestly, the patent/legal fees cost only a fraction of what the lawyer charges in the US. The Surge people should have patented it before sending it to manufacturing. Specially when patent theft happens everywhere with all the overseas manufacturers(India, Vietnam and China). If the Surge people want to be more successful, they just have to manage their supply chain better without keeping their mind on least spend possible.

Critical mistake to not shoot the other ammunition that was made for the knock-off

@engineerable Год назад

The ammo included with the knock-off is generic, cheap ammo. It wasn't "made for it". Better to compare using the same ammo.

@ogmog Год назад

@@engineerable made for, or not.. the makers put that ammo there to be used with it. I've never seen these shitty toys before so I don't know how different the ammo is.

@engineerable Год назад

@@ogmog @Kim Sandstedt Ammo varies widely in quality. The generic stuff included with cheap blasters is basically trash. The stuff I used in the test is a little better quality. Then there are high end hardened gel balls that have better accuracy and higher FPS. Once you run out of the included ammo, you have to buy more, and it won't exactly the same that came with it.

It's not 'fake' or a 'knockoff' This is what happens when you cut your costs by manufacturing in China. You allow them to just make your products but sell them for reasonable prices.

@dav1dgear Год назад

That is sooo true. I'm amazed at how company marked up their prices.

@stormevans6897 Год назад

@@dav1dgear It's so they can try and make a living off their design because it tends to be a lot more expensive to live in the US or EU than say China, in comparison to taking the design that someone worked hard on and selling it at a fraction of the price that the designer is selling it for because they don't need as much and they are not losing anything with the time and energy it took to design it. It's fucked up is what it is.

@stormevans6897 Год назад

They are stealing the design and taking from the original creators. It's wrong, shady af, its a shame because it's near impossible to get most things manufactured at a reasonable price outside of China, poor people dont have many other choices but to risk having all their hard work stolen from them.. Fuck reasonable price.. What are you saving, $30 or $40 bucks? I wouldn't feel good about that bargain but I also think about things.
