I live in the US and all I can say is , I'm Sorry and that's freaking ridiculous , keep up the good work and I will be waiting for your next video
Ikr this was my go to hobby cheered me up whenever I wasn’t feeling right got to meet new people and build a positive community and I owned thousands of dollars worth of gel blasters and all that taken away from me it sucks!
Thank you so much legend 🙏yes over here in Australia the laws are just getting more and more stupid it’s just annoying and messing up our fun love from Australia mate.
@@JohnGeary12453 I get it if y’all aren’t comfortable with so called assault style weapons, but the gun control herd didn’t just stop at guns but with (basically) children’s toys. This is why us yanks won’t compromise. Cheers.
Holy God man. I have been keeping up with your overall predicament via your videos, and while it always seemed like a very overbearing hassle, this really brings everything into a sharp focus. I am very sorry that you and yours have to deal with this level of hand-wrining bureaucracy. Good luck down there.
As someone who lives in Queensland, i am sad to hear this. If i lived in SA i more than likely wouldn’t bother. Too much mucking around.
Can i get a video on how to legally put my hand in a gun shape in south australia?
As an American i will never understand why they want to restrict gel blasters to such an extent. Seems like it’s almost less restrictive to own a firearm- almost
it's to get money pretty much, if you think about it there was about 60,000 owners in SA so if everyone goes through that process it they benefit from it a lot.
And the only pain in the game is from your laughing muscles. Guaranteed good times for you and your famiky
Never give up your blasters
This makes me extremely glad to be in the us. I can go and order from evike and have it sent to my house. What caused australia to do it this way? I know there is some other countries where you have to register airsoft rifles
Re the training course, I did A+B for sporting, paintball and hunting and it was still only a 1 day TAFE course. Pretty sure it's only class C & H that require longer than 1 day.
Also when you take your blaster into the police station, make sure it is fully unloaded including removal of any batteries/gas.
C class can be done at the same course the same day it just requires specific prerequisite. When I went for my training we had a couple fellers do a c class and they were all from cattle stations. H class you have to be part of a shooting club and do a simple club delivered course. You will have to wait 6 months before you buy a hand gun and must do 6 registered shoots per year to maintain it.
THANKS SO MUCH that will help me so much
I understand their reasoning of keeping people safe ( even if I don't agree with all of it) but wow that bureaucracy sure makes someone a lot of money.
All the best sa!
This is where blind obedience and compliance gets you.
My family threw away all the blasters we owned, about 3-4 thousand worth I think, including metal parts, replacements, gears, etc. Didn't want to hand them in because we assumed we could be in some sort of police record for it. We are a minority in Australia, so getting a police record and getting a firearm license is a big no no, we can't take chances and don't want that attention just in case, people think its equal for how everyone gets treated, but in very rare occasions it sadly isn't the case.
Also just the humiliating fact that you have to get a license for a toy, and all the stigma around it, definitely not going through with that.
The most fun hobby I ever had along with gaming, knew the workings of a blaster inside and out., same with airsoft. Now I have to go do some boring ass jogging if I want the health benefits lol, gel blasters definitely helped me get through university with my mental health.
Minority?
that's a sign to get out of australia lol
What a joke
Hey dude I love your videos I’m a local south Australian as well but I live so far away from battle of water loo
So glad I'm moving to qld
Jesus Christ… I live in Queensland and all I needed to do is ride on my bike to the store, and choose the kriss vector V2 then give the guy $250 and it’s mine. I’m surprised that it’s very different in sa
......and now completely banned in WA. The WA Government are so off the chart that they are attempting to kill off the industry in Queensland as well via lobbying the Federal government to ban the importation of all gel blasters.
They are illegal in every state except Qld. You can't get a licence for them in NSW even afaik. But you can get a licence for a real rifle. It's absolute lunacy
A bit of incorrect information in this video. Category A+B license holder here (real guns), went through the process last year so I know what I'm talking about.
The training course for a firearms license is not a 3 day course, it's a single day course. There is no reason not to apply for a Cat A+B license, with POU 1/2/3/4 for Cat A and POU 2/3 for Cat B (don't put in POU 1 for Cat B, that will require separate club training for that category) if you're applying for a license just for a Gel Blaster. It's still a 1 day course, and you still need to buy a safe. You just get the ability to purchase an actual firearm and go hunting/target shooting on private property if that's something you'd like to do in the future.
Also, Gawler Fishing and Outdoors are top blokes. Great choice for a local store. 👍
hey brad, I'm genuinely curious about this, how illegal is it to make your own gel blaster is a similar manner to making a nerf gun? (in SA)
Yes it would be manufacturing a firearm
Just got noked back again after appealing for my licence the first time, the firearm unit went above and beyond to not let me have it, they dug up so much dirt on myself and sent it all to me in writing after I appealed the first refusal.
Even though I work for SA HEALTH (GOVERNMENT) As a drug and alcohol councillor working with the vulnerable, having the same boss as SAPOL, you think my work would show I am a suitable, safe, productive member of society
Same with me, only thing is I just didn't get around to putting all my character references in on time....Im trying to appeal it tho..
excellent video mate, I've got some lingering questions though, at the start of all of this I shipped my gel blasters up to Queensland to stay safe while I waited to come of age to apply for my license, now that I've finished my course and I'm waiting on my temporary license, what would the process be getting them back? do I need to send them to Safari zoomer and just deal with them like any other or are there some things in particular I need to do? cheers
You would just get them shipped to any dealer and register them like any other blaster, yeah
@@BradleyPhillipsYT ok sweet, there are only a couple I want to bring home, so much has changed since the last time played, I'm really looking forward to getting back out to waterloo with my mates. Thanks for the help dude
Damn, the paperwork and costing sounds tough. Do gel ball techs in SA need to get like a firearms manufacturer licence or something? I'm guessing gel ball homemades aren't going to be a thing then, huh?
Yeah gel ball techs need a firearms dealers license. It definitely makes things difficult.
i really want too try this but here in nsw theres no fields or anything its ridiculous
Fuck me man, I knew it was bad... now I know to what extent exactly. So sorry for SA and the rest of the country who aren't in -Texas- QLD.
I know that this might be a bit of a dumb thing to ask someone from WA but do you know what the process is in Victoria?
Can't own them in Victoria at all unless they are not replicas of real firearms.
Anyone know how likely you are to be able to get a license for a gel blaster if you have a criminal record? I have 2 charges from when I was 18 and have been hesitant to even try applying as I feel like I'll get rejected instantly, they're non-violent crimes and neither of them have "victims" of any sort.
nice
Question:
These rules are stupid, but do you think they're gonna get changed for the better any time soon?
I highly doubt they'll change
@@BradleyPhillipsYT my condolences
"You can fire a real gun but for some stupid reason, You can't fire a Gel Blaster"
hahahhahahahhahaha that's governing summed up right there
Do you need a gun licence to own the nerf sniper rifles in SA that I've seen you review on your channel ?
No, you do not.
That’s next. After that you’ll need a gun license to own a basketball. 😂
Bro this is crazy
🤯
do you live in adelaide?
QLD here hoping that these insane rules get changed to the entirely reasonable rules here and that the rules here stay as they are. Also wouldn't mind some Airsoft but one thing at a time.
Yup just get the full license..
Oh, so thats what this all about! Money! What else is new?! 😂
Jesus how is the sport not dead with all that crap to go through. I'm from wa and they have been banned. If it gets over turned and we have to do all that I won't bother what a joke. Great video
because some people were over $5000 deep in it. we are not going to hand over that much value for free to the police. i had to spend roughly over $2000 to keep mine.
@@FluffyDiceCubes thankfully I'm only 1000 in when ban came in
@@FluffyDiceCubes At that point, I'd just hide them. I suppose that means you can't play with them (not at fields, anyway). That's what some of my mates did down here, when the look-alike blasters got made illegal. Paying the police money to get a license to play with toys is ridiculous and a scam. I don't think there are any fields in Tasmania, unlike on the mainland, so getting a license to play with them in Tasmania would be a waste since it all happens (and did happen) on private property.
Talk about a nanny state…
Yeah ... I hope it gets more lax in the near future for you guys. That is way too much even for a general hobby...
Talk about barrier to entry..
youve conviced me to ileagaly own them instead
Can I be under 18
How would I be able to legally own a gel blaster in n.s.w.
You can't currently
@@BradleyPhillipsYT thanks mate
in Philippines we have only a Gun Ban when election year arrives
after that we can play but dont play in the public locals
Sign every petition and get your Senators/Members of pariliment to make change.
OMG, why bother, too long, too complex, and to expensive!
What the powers-that- be in SA are hoping is that the process is so all consuming that most mortal human beings simply won't bother.
G'day from QLD.
Never should have given up your guns.
When you have to go through this much hassle and money just for a toy, you may as Well just get a real gun.
But it's not safe to aim a real gun at anybody else, is it?
@@davidtapp3950 yea obviously thats not safe but anybody who has some sense wont do that and i hope that the police would be able to tell that your that type of idiot during the application and training process but you didn't get what I'm saying dude, if I was to live in SA I would not be fucked to go through that much trouble and money just for toys, I myself would just go through the extra stuff to get a real firearm licence.
I will not be buying a gel blaster. I'll get a nerf blaster instead.
Nobody in their right mind would want a toy for target shooting (with any accuracy), hunting or self defense (or offence). And nobody in their right mind would want a firearm for playing skirmish games and shooting their friends without causing serious injury.
They are two different products for entirely different purposes. Also, even if you're a firearm enthusiast, there's a hell of a lot of toys that look like actual firearms you can't get even with a real firearm license, so... there's still plenty of reasons for people to be bothered going through the insane amount of red tape if they REALLY want to.
I agree that, if you have any interest in real firearms at all, you may as well get licenses for those too, seeing as they've practically made it the same level of hassle. Would be interesting to know how many people were originally only interested in owning a gel blaster who now have real firearms as a result of these overly excessive laws.
Honestly this video you made feels like an April fools joke or a prank
God same process in NSW except there are no gel blaster fields so there is no point
your legislators are eating lead paint and crayons daily.
I’m sorry for you guys. I hope you guys get your government and check in America. All you have to do to get a gel ball blaster is walking to any department store and walk out with it.
all this for a toy smh
blaster: $200
registration and everything: also $200
hmmm
Australia is an interesting place
the thing is that with nerf guns, as long as it has an orange tip it is fine but with gel blasters even the most innocent looking ones are illegal
This sport sounds awesome,easy,quick,cheap to start. Count me in,after I sell a kidney😂😅They really don't want people having fun with gel ball's!! Have gel blasters been used in lots of crimes over in SA??ThankQ.TkEZ>UK
They actually haven't been used in crimes here. A couple of people did drive-by shootings with them which provoked the ban.
It also gives everyone else young and old to gain the basic knowledge on gun safety not that there real firearms but the rules still applies no different from a wood worker protecting his eyes hand and feet.
Wow All This Fuss for a Toy? Our Australian law's are So Incredibly Silly Now!😆
i might get a 44$ manual glock 18 on my 14th birthday
Have you got it yet
Yes i did but it was trashhhh it broke within a week
stupis laws but helped heaps and going to be worth it
So you have to spend 2000 dollars including the guns, waiting months, and doin a course to shoot a toy gun
Orrrrrrrr, u could take a road trip 🚗 to Perth and smuggle your illegal toy back to SA in less 8 hours
Bro honestly I'm gonna die if the ban comes to QLD or the nation. If not, they souldn't be anywhere. There such shit rules.
Put the gel blaster in a gun safe bro I live in new zealand and I have ten green gas /hpa airsoft guns and a few electric guns and you just need to keep in the box burh that gun safe rule is so dogshi- and you can fire a 303 enflied at farm but you can't fire a harmless gel gun that's so dumb
Just get ur real fire arms license instead of paintball that's what we do here in victoria hate these rules
What a process..... =/
This is so ridiculous! For toys!!!
All this to play with toys????????
and if anyones wondering. the couse you have to do is a complete joke. the trainers dont even know how gel blasters even work...
Ridiculous! All i wanna do is shoot some toys geez
First
First what
Australia is loosing the plot.. can fire a real gun on your property but not a toy. Unbelievable on so many levels.
These laws on gelblasters are stupid they make no sense to me I myself think that gelblasters could have a positive effect on both the the Australian land and the mental and physical health of those that enjoy the sport plus the gellballs are biodegradable and cold possibly put moisture back in to the soil where it's dry and needed overtime something to think about.
“How To Own A Gel Blaster In SA” You can’t, simple as that.
This is honestly ridiculous
This is satire, surely?
Sadly not
All that for a toy. Can’t even have airsoft. Seriously what’s up with Aussie legislators?
It takes me 30 minutes and a background check and I can have almost any gun I want. I hope this nonsense doesn't ever come to the US
Sorry to annoy, but in South Australia, these “Toys” ARE “Real Firearms”.
And just as you can not Shoot on a Farm or even handle outdoors in your Garden, (because someone might get Threatened by the sight of your Firearm) Other can’t take a Handgun Hunting.
Agree or not, this is South Australian Firearms Law.
.....yep, S.A. beauracrats that pushed the firearms line are pathetic. And to not be able to use them on a farm is a glimpse into a totalitarian microcontrol mindset.
I see no reason why people on a sheep farm can't stuff around on their property......far from the woketards in North Adelaide or Unley. Nevermind the Department of Home Affairs told each state to handle gel blasters under their Weapons Control Act and not the Firearm Arm Act.
Wtf are you talking about?
