The GelSoft MP9 Skirmish Series submachine gun delivers everything you'd expect; there's plenty of power and a high level of accuracy all combined in this magazine-fed GelSoft blaster. This gun fires safe, frangible GelSoft ammo, the ammo is biodegradable and made predominantly from water ensuring no harm to the environment. On impact, the ammo 'pops' or 'bursts' with a satisfying splat of water, or just bounces off the target safely.
The P9 is a totally unique looking rifle which has a host of features including an all-nylon construction, a third-generation gearbox, a high-capacity magazine. The MP9 has a performance nylon gearbox and is powered by a 7.4V Li-on rechargeable battery and each rifle includes a USB charging cable.
Charge the battery for up to 3 hours prior to use. The battery is housed at the rear of the trigger guard. Slide the cover plate open and pull the connector out slightly (do not use force), connect the battery terminal, insert battery into housing and slide the battery cover closed.
Gelsoft guns are very similar to paintball guns. They fire water based ammo that pops/bursts on impact. The guns are not considered weapons because of this system and their comparatively lower power output. Compared to airsoft guns which fire fire hard plastic ammo, our GelSoft ammo is soft and squishy which means they aren't intended as weapons and are unlikely to cause injury.
The GelSoft MP9 is supplied with a high-capacity magazine, 7.4V battery and USB charger. and a handful of ammo pellets and a range of detachable accessories including a mountable folding red dot scope and a pair of safety goggles. The GelSoft MP9 is simple to assemble and does not require any specialist tools.
To purchase a skirmish version Gelsoft gun or rifle you need to be at least 18 years old. There is no age limit to using a Gelsoft gun, however, children will require adult supervision.
Using Gelsoft guns in your back garden, at re-enactments or at paintball or airsoft game sites is permitted under the 'Permitted Activities' as defined by the VCRA (Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006). You will need to confirm you understand this during checkout by ticking the relevant box.
You need to have insurance cover for the intended 'Permitted Activities' but don't worry as most household insurance policies cover activities like skirmishing at home, but you will need to double check this and confirm you understand this during checkout by ticking the relevant box.
What is it?
The Violent Crime Reduction Act (2006) (VCRA) is part of the UK legal system that covers a range of issues including alcohol, firearms and a number of other miscellaneous legal issues. For our purposes, we are focusing is on the Act's provisions for Realistic Imitation Firearms (also known as RIFs) and the legal bases for purchase, sale and ownership. It is important to understand this act and the measures we have in place to ensure that we are in compliance and that you have a smooth transaction with us.
Realistic Imitation Firearms
A RIF (Realistic Imitation Firearm) is any item which looks like a real firearm when viewed from a short distance away by a person without any specialist knowledge." This means that any item that looks like a real firearm, regardless of if it's working or not that 'could' be a real gun is defined as a RIF and falls under some specific controls and regulations. RIFs are possible to own and use if certain conditions are met
What are the conditions for buying, owning and using a RIF?
RIFs can only be sold if it is to be used for certain permitted purposes and activities. This includes historical re-enactment and skirmishing.
They must only be purchased by someone over the age of 18.
What are the conditions for selling a RIF?
For us to be able to sell you a Gelsoft Skirmish Series gun we have to inform you of the legal requirements and for you to confirm that you understand all of the conditions indicated above. During the checkout process, you are required to tick the relevant boxes to indicate to us that you acknowledge these responsibilities.
Permitted Activities
Permitted activities are the use cases for these items that comply with the VCRA (Violent Crime Reduction Act). The specific definition given in the act is as follows.
“The acting out of military or law enforcement scenarios for the purposes of recreation."
This is primarily intended to cover those who wish to engage in 'skirmishing' activities. This is where individuals or teams attempt to fire at the opposing team in order to hit them before they themselves are hit. Essentially acting out a military or police encounter, though, the rules on this can vary from game to game.
First, it's important to remember that RIFs can not be used or taken into public places, and must only be used on private land where you have permission from, or are the land owner. Using a realistic imitation firearm in public can and will get you arrested, is not sensible and is more than likely to cause alarm to the general public. As a general rule, they are best kept at home, at organised skirmish activities or re-enactments.
Gelsoft guns should NOT be used in circumstances where alarm or distress may be caused to others. Remember, it is an offence to have any type of imitation firearm in a public place without a reasonable excuse and you may be arrested. By purchasing Skirmish Series guns from Gelsoft you are confirming that you have read, understood and will comply with these conditions of sale and that these items will be used for permitted purposes in compliance with the law."
