NEW rules have helped clear up uncertainty surrounding the fast-growing gel blaster craze.
Throughout Queensland, those who own gel blasters will not be required to hold a weapons licence.
The State Government ruled the toys would not be classified as a firearm or category of weapon, despite their realistic appearance.
Command Elite Hobbies Ipswich Manager Tyrone Graham said the news had come as a relief for most gel blaster enthusiasts.
“It’s awesome. People who have been unsure about buying gel blasters now can do so without worrying about needing to get a licence or losing them six months later,” Mr Graham said.
