Is a gel ball blaster gun legal in Australia?
For the state of Queensland and other states the answer is (mostly) yes. I wouldnt even bother with NSW some stocks and grips are considered prohibited items there.Due to the fact that Airsoft is illegal (considered real AUTOMATIC firearms due to our overlords) the sport of hydro blasters is starting to gain popularity.The issue is the technology is not mature and expensive as most sane country's (including our neighbor) develop Airsoft guns instead of gel guns.Although you are allowed posses gel shooters (at least in QLD). Importing them is another thing as customs have their own gospel. In general DO NOT try to import anything that can be “mistaken” for any type of “weapon”.Your best bet is to find a local online store or a trusted local eBay seller with product IN the country. Long as you dont go around in public you got nothing to worry about
How can I buy a gun in the UK?
ORIGINAL QUESTION:'How do I buy a gun in the UK?'Easy enough. For an air pistol, airsoft gun or air rifle (up to a certain power) simply go to a gun shop and buy one.For a shotgun, (Section 2 firearm) you will first need a shotgun certificate. This costs £79.50 and will be granted providing that you are a resident of the UK, have a gun safe and that you don't have a significant criminal record. Shotgun certificates can be granted to children aged 10. It takes a few weeks for the authorities to run background checks before sending your certificate.You can then buy as many shotguns as you like, including semi-automatics with a maximum capacity of 3 cartridges.For a rifle, (Section 1 firearm) which can be manual or semi-auto, you need a firearms license. This will be granted if you are a resident of the UK, have a gun safe, have no serious criminal record and can demonstrate a genuine reason for possessing a firearm. A valid reason would be target shooting (you are expected to be an active member of your local club), hunting or pest control. The licence costs about £80 and will take several weeks to arrive.You may not buy a hand gun or any of a range of firearms defined as 'Section 3'More here (in brief): Classic Gun Company UK and here (in detail): Firearms policy in the United Kingdom
