The NERF Pro Gelfire guns can come with upwards of 15,000 rounds of bead ammunition.

Three Rye 16-year-olds were arrested for allegedly shooting people with a high capacity, high velocity water bead blaster, according to Rye police.

Cops responded to Forest and Oakland Beach avenues at around 8:40 p.m. on Sept. 2 after complaints of teen boys shooting pedestrians out of a white SUV with bead blasters.

Two victims were allegedly shot at and filed police reports, the department said, but neither required further medical attention.
