In the wake of legislation changes in February this year, Police are asking owners of gel blasters to STOP and think about their use.

Police are aware of the alarm the appearance of these gel blasters can cause to members of our community and so wish to remind everyone of the rules and regulations in place for everyone’s safety.

Replica firearms, such as gel blasters, can look like regular firearms and can only be identified as gel blasters with close examination.

Police confronted with replica firearms are often placed in the position of having to make a difficult identification of the threat at hand.

If you own a gel blaster or you are thinking of purchasing one, make sure you’re well informed and are up to date with relevant legislation.

The video below provides a good basis for being a responsible owner of a replica firearm.
