Ah my favorite for an AR, Colt model 733.
Heat - Internet Movie Firearms Database - Guns in Movies, TV and Video Games
One of the best made shootout scenes in a movie bar none. Well I like it anyway for the realism.

Hello , I’m Elitium , A gel baller who likes milsim/speedsoft but my main focus was airsoft is banned here so the real firearms ( saw gel blasters as a cheap , safe hobby ) and now i’m a mediocre to good gelsofter that has a bit of info on this hobby
I use gel blasters for fun , destroying cardboard boxes or etc with them or , if there was a field , i would use them in a field for real ( there’s no actual field of these in my city , but in the country ? some fields are )
my new gel blasters are on delivery , so i can’t show y’all those

Hi all.
Very new to this group and Gel Blasters. Moved from NZ 6yrs ago where I had airguns/rimfires and centrefires both handguns and rifles. I had a go at paintball a few months ago and loved it but then found out I need a firearms License for paintball in QLD. Luckily I discovered these Gel Blasters that are very similar to airsoft we have back over the ditch so I thought why not check them out and here I am.
I like the team on team style games but am really a practical shooting fan. Loved IPSC and Service Pistol/Rifle comps and am looking to set up a few “practical” style comps in the near future when I get a blaster or two.
Any advice on blasters and upgrades or fields/arena that may suit my style of game please let me know.
Thanks all.
Hi there! Great to have you on this forum! If you’re looking for a cheaper option thats upgradable I would go for a Gen 9 or Cyma M4. I don’t really have access to Australian gel blaster stores, so yall have a lot more options. Personally, those are some of the better guns here in Canada, as there are almost unlimited upgrades. Typically, its hard to go wrong with any Jinming gel blaster, as if it breaks, there are no shortage of repairs or upgrades. I’m not as knowledgeable with sidearms, since I only have access to AEP’s.
Thanks James. Im seeking gas/co2 as I have a little bit of background in my younger years playing with crosman airguns and opening the valves to various levels of luck. I know nothing about AEG blasters really just the basics of operation (battery driving motor to compress air and then release). Seems Canada may have strange rules similar to us here? Does Gen 9 refer the the generation of blaster?
Thanks.
G’day there. I am also an ex IPSC pistol owner in the practical and tactical realm.
Just hunting doing vermin control these days with rifles, rabbits, foxes and goats to do with my business.
Have a search around this forum use the search thing top right. Lot of good info here
Yes Jin Meng. Gen 8 then they released the Gen 9

My bad, I got a bit ahead of myself 
. Jinming (and possibly other brands, I’m not too sure) has gearbox and receiver generations. A gen 8 is their first generation, and it is a gearbox that only has full auto. It’s heavily upgradable, can handle heavy springs, and has its motor integrated into the gearbox. As far as I know, only nylon gen 8 gearbox shells are sold - no metal. However, as I previously stated, it has hundreds of upgrades. Gen 8 blaster’s outer “shell”, or “reciever”, are in two halves that are screwed together, like most toys. They are typically a bit cheaper, made of ABS plastic instead of Nylon. A gen 8’s price is also typically 10-50 dollars cheaper than any other gen. The next level is a gen 9, also known as a v2 gearbox. Gen 9 gearboxes have full auto as well as semi. There are even more upgrades for these, as they are the more popular and modern generation. Since the design has existed for decades in airsoft guns, it is very reliable and well known. Additionally, a gen 9’s shell, or receiver, is made of a thicker nylon, which can be disassembled much like a real firearm, with takedown pins. A gen 10 (correct me if i’m wrong, gel blaster alumni ) has an identical gearbox to gen 9 blasters. The only gen 10 I am familiar with is the ACR, so I’m not sure why it was given its own gen number. As far as I know, gen 11-13 are Ak gearboxes (or v3’s), which are similar to gen 8’s, but have a slightly different size, as well as having semi. As for gas/co2 gel blasters, I have very little experience. As far as I know, they are illegal here, as they have full metal receivers, and will not pass customs inspections (they said that about all realistic gel blasters, so they might make it through , I have still yet to test). However, gas and co2 airsoft pistols and rifles are legal here (somehow ), so I’m a bit more familiar with those. Personally, however, for a primary, I would highly recommend an AEG, since the mags hold much more, they’re not as picky with gels, you have much more selection, and they have many, many upgrades and replacements. However, if you want something more realistic, go for a GBB. As for pistols, gas will definitely perform better than AEP’s.
Welcome to the circus! 
You’ll find plenty of diversity in here, for sure… the majority of us are Queensland based, a few from South Australia and Western Australia but quite a few internationals now, so some gear is a little unknown.
Some of us love to mod, some love to just collect, some like weird and wonderful frankenblasters, others prefer stock with accessories and cosmetic changes. Skills vary from pro tech level through to absolute newbie, so never be afraid to ask for advice, we have a “no such thing as a dumb question” policy. Whatever floats your boat in the way you engage with the hobby, you’ll find it in here.
You’re lucky to be getting into the hobby now… years ago buying a blaster meant it had to be modded and upgraded to get any kind of decent performance out of it. These days it’s usually not necessary… out of the box quality’s improved a lot, so maybe a spring change is about all you’ll have to do on most AEGs.
Gas blowback pistols have come a long way too since to days of the fragile Co2 Wells 1911s… some rippers out there that perform really well and look the duck’s nuts. Pretty affordable too. GBB rifles are still up in the stratosphere pricewise but if your wallet’s okay with it there are some great units to be had.
Best advice would be to find what appeals to you the most, then do a forum search to see what kind of experience people have had with it. If you can’t find it in a search, post up a thread, someone will help you out with it.
Great bunch of people in this forum… you’ll enjoy your time here.
Welcome @OldGreynGrumpy
Hope you can find information and entertainment you are looking for here, and feel free to ask anything there is a good amount of knowledgeable people here with a wide variety of experience.
@Jameskavanagh you got a lot right… but!
I have a stack of corrections for your statement!
Jinming gen 8 is their 8th generation… previous ones were very much disposable toys hence why you never heard of them.
Gen 8 was the first electric mag and upgradable version.
Gen9 is their follow up with split receiver and a V2 style gearbox… it is NOT a V2.
There are many blasters and manufacturers now with V2 gearboxes, much more compatible and swappable with actual V2 stuff. Gen9 is quite old and not bear as upgradable as the newer V2 based stuff.
The J10 was an ACR. Still gen9 gearbox. Nailed that one.
J11-12 were AKs, J13 was a gen8 boxed HK416c. Beyond that we never seen Jin Ming in Australia except the J15 which was a G36.
I do believe there was a j14 and 16… one was a sig ace… would have loved to seen it. (Old Jin Ming fan!)
My original gen9 is 8 years old now… still going though doesn’t get much use and has been resigned to a collectors item that displays gloriously on my wall.

Hey @OldGreynGrumpy, welcome to the forum.
Shit, I wish I had thought of that username years ago when I started. I certainly tick those three boxes 
Your welcome to use the name anytime you want, there may be a OGnG, OGnG01, 02, 03 etc. Heck we could start an old grey dogs team if enough of us. Thanks for the welcome HS.
Yes I have heard a lot about the painful rules and the lack of performance compared to airgun (lead) and airsoft guns. Also the differing rules or laws in each state took me back a bit. I will ensure I study the laws before I travel interstate so as not to get a charge against my name for what in many places are considered a toy. I count myself lucky to be in QLD. Plus the weather here is out of this world.
Thanks for the welcome.
Thanks Maiphut.
I loved IPSC, I was a bit younger and faster then but still the test of beating my previous scores in some kind of target running and gunning game beacons. I am considering a steel challenge/speed steel type of comp for gel blasters. It suits me as its limited running, just up my alley.
What division did you compete in? I shot a stock Glock in production. Cheap, robust and the best bang for the buck at the time.
