25.01.2022 GEL BLASTERS This is not the outcome that many of our Members or the Gel Blaster community wanted. We encourage those currently unlicenced Gel Blaster owners to apply for a Firearms License in order that they can join in the sport of Shooting whilst retaining their Gel Blasters.... It is our understanding that venues will be accredited for the use of Gel Blasters similar to those which Paint Ball currently use. SSAA will continue to support and encourage the sport of Shooting and strongly resist any restriction on our use of legitimate firearms. SSAA SA

23.01.2022 GEL BLASTERS DECLARED REGULATED IMITATION FIREARM SAPOL have dealt with more than 180 reports concerning Gel Blasters over the past two years, including armed holdups, tying up hundreds of hours of valuable Police resources. Unfortunately due to the irresponsible and often criminal behavior of some, South Australia has now joined almost every other Australian jurisdiction, except Queensland, in making the ownership of Gel Blasters illegal without a licence. ... ... From tomorrow, 8 October 2020 gel blasters will be declared as a regulated imitation firearm. People who own a gel blaster will have to register their gel blaster, obtain a firearms licence within six months, or surrender the gel blaster as part of a firearms amnesty. The amnesty will take place from today until 7 April 2021. Officer in Charge Firearms Branch, Superintendent Stephen Howard said the declaration comes following investigations by police who have assessed gel blasters to be firearms as defined in the Firearms Act. The firing mechanism in a gel blaster compresses air to fire a projectile and therefore meets the threshold test to be defined as a firearm, he said. A gel blaster can easily be mistaken for a real firearm, with potential to cause concern in the community and trigger a police response that could involve the use of police firearms, or other tactical options. SAPOL estimates more than 62,000 are circulating in the South Australian community.

07.01.2022 SSAA SHOT EXPO 2021 CANCELLED The widespread effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are ongoing. As a result of government restrictions, events have been postponed an...d cancelled across Australia to contain the spread of the virus for the safety of all. SSAA NSW and SSAA National value the safety of our members, volunteers and staff above all else and have previously communicated the postponement of the 2020 SSAA SHOT Expo at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse in Sydney. With the lack of certainty around a solution for the virus, as well as the ongoing advice from government and NSW Health and in conjunction with SSAA National and the promoter of the event, it is with regret that we announce the cancellation of the 2021 SSAA SHOT Expo.
