What are Gel Blasters and are they legal in Australia?  These are two very important questions and we will explore them both in this article.   So what exactly is a Gel Blaster? A relatively new invention on the scene, Gel Blaster guns have captivated the shooting world in recent years due to their low cost and cleanliness. Technically-speaking, Gel Blasters are manufactured as ‘toy guns’ which allows them to navigate the legal issues associated with Paintball and Airsoft gun sales in Australia. They are often very similar in design to Airsoft guns, however, Gel Blasters differ from Airsoft due to their price, ammunition, firepower, and internal firing mechanisms. Gel Blasters are typically spring-powered and battery- operated shooting soft gel projectiles (Gel Balls) up to 250 feet per second.  As you may be aware, firearms ownership is heavily regulated in Australia, with Airsoft being totally banned. For shooting enthusiasts, the best choice really is to own a Gel Blaster, that being said however, there are still some legal issues that you must be aware of before purchasing one. Because Australia is such a huge country, the legalities do differ from state to state, so it makes sense to learn what the rules are in each region. That way you can always enjoy shooting whilst staying on the correct side of the law. So what does Australian law actually say about Gel Blasters? Well, according to the Department of Home Affairs Notice No. 2017/43 states: “A recent review of Regulation 4F means that devices that discharge soft and non-dangerous items such as soft darts and hydrolyzed super-absorbent polymers (gel balls) are no longer classified as firearms under the Regulations.”  Sale on Combo Packs Now On  Dismiss Privacy - Terms

2. That’s great news for shooting enthusiasts. However, the document also states:  “Where these devices resemble a real firearm, they will be classified as an imitation of a firearm under the Regulations.”  And this is where the legality gets a bit tricky because different Australian states have different approaches to this concept, especially as it’s fairly subjective in nature when you study the exact wording they have used.  To view the official Australian Border Force document and more details on whether Gel Blasters are legal in Austrlia, please click here. So, let’s look at the legal issues state by state to get a better idea of what you can and can’t do according to the law. We’ll start with the states that have the ‘good news’ first and then go work through to the more tricky states: Are Gel Blasters Legal in Queensland? 100% legal to purchase from reputable businesses, legal to own, and no license is needed. Woohoo! The Gel Blaster Law in South Australia Enjoying just as much shooting freedom as in QLD! It’s 100% legal to purchase from reputable businesses, legal to own, and no license is needed. Happy days all round!  The Laws In Northern Territory Classified as a ‘toy’ however, some Gel Blasters may be considered as an imitation firearm depending on their physical appearance. It’s advised that customers consult with their local law enforcement if they are concerned. To be on the safe side, if your Gel Blaster is all black and looks very much like a ‘real firearm’, then we would advise that you contact the police for further clarification…or you could simply make your blaster look less like a real firearm?  Legal In Tasmania? Same as in Northern Territory, they are classified as a ‘toy’ however some Gel Blasters may be considered as an imitation firearm depending on their appearance. It’s advised that customers consult with their local law enforcement if they are concerned about how legal Gel Blasters are in Tasmania. To be on the safe side, if your Gel Blaster is all black and looks very much like a ‘real firearm’, then we would advise that you contact the police for further clarification…or you could simply make your blaster look less like a real firearm?  Are Gel Blasters Legal New South Wales? Although generally classified as toys we have to advise that some Gel Blasters may be considered as an imitation firearm. It’s advised that customers need to consult with their local law enforcement, especially if your blaster is all black in appearance and looks very much like a ‘real firearm’.  Luckily, the NSW fact sheet regarding imitation firearms clearly states that: “An imitation firearm does not include anything that is produced and identified as a children’s toy”.

Victoria Gel Blaster Legality Okay, so the legal issues associated with Gel Blaster ownership are ‘quite grey’ in the state of Victoria. The best course  Sale on Combo Packs Now On  Dismiss of action is to check with the police first because ultimately you are dealing with subjective legal terms in Victoria.

3. (Plus, if there is a future legal issue concerning your Gel Blaster ownership then at least you can hold some proof that you checked with the police first). From the official Victoria Police website, this is what they state about Firearms Classifications: “Generally, if an item cannot be mistaken for a working firearm by a reasonable person and does not have the function of a firearm, it will be treated as a toy firearm or other firearm-themed paraphernalia and can be owned without a licence or other authority. However, items that have the appearance of a working firearm, even where they do not function as one, are classified as imitation firearms. As imitation firearms can cause public alarm, only people with a Chief Commissioner’s Weapons Approval or Governor in Council Exemption can possess, carry or offer them for sale in the State of Victoria.” Source: https://www.police.vic.gov.au/firearm-classifications Please be advised that you may wish to take extra precautions before purchasing in Victoria. Are Gel Blasters Legal Western Australia? In Western Australia the legality of possessing a Gel blaster gun is still being discussed by Parliament, you can read about that here. The wording however does not outright state that it’s 100% illegal, as it states: “The Western Australia Police Force advises that gel blasters are not legal in Western Australia. The Western Australia Police Force is reviewing the legal status of gel blasters, taking into account their status in other states and territories.” So, by analysing this terminology we can ascertain that it’s ‘borderline’ as to what the exact legal status actually is, especially as it is ‘currently under review’. However, we still recommend with extreme caution in WA, and if in doubt, we would advise you to check with your local police force for absolute clarification on what is allowed.  The fact that a 16yr old decided to bring his blaster to school earlier this year is certainly not helping matters in WA (massive facepalm). We would certainly advise that you never use your Gel Blaster in a public location, wherever you live in Australia, simply to avoid it being mistaken as a real firearm. A good rule of thumb is always approach its usage with the same care and respect as you would a real firearm! And like we have mentioned above for NT and Tasmania, if you’re really concerned then you could simply make your blaster look less like a real firearm? A bit of spray paint, some stickers, maybe some sci-fi themed tactical attachments; there are many different ways to skin this cat! So get creative. Here are 6 of our favourite Gel Blasters for 2020!
