Gel Blasting – Legalities
However, due to the incredibly realistic nature of a gel blaster gun, crooks and irresponsible players went and spoiled it for the rest of the gel blasting community.
In 2020, officers were called to 147 gel blaster incidents in Western Australia alone, while a blaster was used to hold up a pharmacy, resulting in a police operation that lasted several hours.
Police Superintendent Dan Trimble said that blasters were used to commit serious crimes like armed robberies, assaults, drive-by shootings, and home invasions in Victoria.
Moreover, Southern Cross station in Melbourne’s Central Business District was locked down in January 2021 after a man was spotted with a blaster and bystanders mistook it for an actual gun.
Most police officers were found not to be able to tell the difference between a gel blaster and a real gun.
As the list of crimes and disturbances climbed, several states in Australia have made it illegal to own a blaster without appropriate firearm licenses and registration documents.
Is Gel Blasting legal in Australia?
As of the end of 2021, the only state that you can go gel blasting without a license or restrictions is Queensland.
The only stipulation is that you have to conceal the blaster when transporting it and store it in a closed, secure location.
