Quick Answer: A WE-Tech M1911-style gas blowback gel blaster pistol, metal and nylon, in black with gold WE grip medallions. A few years old and used a few times, in good condition, with one flaw the seller has disclosed: the slide lock is a bit worn, so a slide racked back by hand won’t stay locked open unless you hold the lock. The seller says it doesn’t affect firing. Comes with one magazine.

Here’s the straight version. This is a gas pistol that’s a few years old and has been fired a few times, not thrashed. The seller says it’s overall pretty good, and the one thing wrong with it is a worn slide lock. Rack the slide back by hand and it won’t stay locked open unless you hold the lock with your thumb, and let go and it can slip forward. He says it doesn’t affect firing in any way, and the slide blows back when it fires. Nothing else disclosed, and he’s put it up front rather than leaving you to find it.
It’s gas-operated, so there’s no battery and nothing to charge the night before a game. The photos show it assembled, stripped down with the slide off, and with the slide held back by hand, so you can see the barrel, the magazine and the lock before you commit. More sidearms in the pistols collection , and if you’re local, there’s a page for used gel blasters in Ipswich .
What’s included
✔ WE-Tech M1911 gas pistol
✔ 1x magazine
Features
Gas blowback
The seller confirms the slide blows back when it fires. No battery, nothing to charge before a game.
Metal and nylon build
The seller lists it as a metal and nylon mix. Metal parts take the knocks and nylon keeps the weight down.
Classic 1911 looks
Black finish, checkered grips with a gold WE medallion and a skeletonised trigger. It looks the part on a belt.
Spares are easy to find
WE is widely stocked in Australia, with magazines, nozzles and outer barrels on the shelf at gel blaster shops. See parts and accessories .
Condition
Used and in good condition, according to the seller. A few years old, used a few times. One known fault: the slide lock is a bit worn. Pull the slide back by hand and it won’t stay locked open unless you hold the lock, and it can slip forward when you let go. The seller says it doesn’t affect firing in any way. The photos show the pistol assembled, stripped down and with the slide held back, so look them over (our used gel blaster buying checklist covers what else to check). Photos form part of the description. As with every used listing on RedSpear, what’s described is what you get: verified seller, and payment runs through RedSpear, not person-to-person.
Who this suits
- Rifle players who want a gas sidearm for CQB games at QLD fields
- Anyone who likes the classic 1911 shape and doesn’t need a mint one
- Players after a battery-free pistol with nothing to charge
- Pickup from Redbank Plains, 4301, QLD, or posted anywhere in Queensland
🟣 Match the mag to the frame before you buy a spare
WE makes slim single-stack 1911s and wide double-stack Hi-Capas, and Australian gel retailers sell a separate magazine for each. A spare bought for the wrong frame won’t fit, and it’s the most expensive thing you’ll replace on a gas pistol. Check the model name on the retailer’s page against the markings on your slide before you pay. If you collect in person, bring the spare along and check it seats at the handover. Worn parts or a leaking mag can be sorted by one of our approved Queensland gel blaster techs .

Frequently asked questions
What’s included?
The WE-Tech M1911 gas pistol and a magazine. Gas and gels aren’t included. Gels need growing before use (see our guide to growing and storing gels in Queensland ), and you’ll want eye protection before your first game.
Is it gas or electric?
Gas, with blowback. The seller says the slide blows back when it fires and no charging is needed, so there’s no battery to look after. Gas pistols like a bit of care: keep the magazine seals clean, and if it starts leaking or running badly, see the approved Queensland gel blaster techs .
What exactly is wrong with it?
Only the slide lock, according to the seller. It’s a bit worn: pull the slide back by hand and it won’t stay locked open unless you hold the lock with your thumb, and it can slip forward when you let go. He says it doesn’t affect firing in any way. Everything else is described as in good condition for a pistol that’s a few years old and has been used a few times. The photos show the pistol as it is, including a stripped-down shot and one with the slide held back.
Can it be posted, or is it pickup only?
Both. Collect from Redbank Plains, 4301, QLD, by appointment, or have it posted anywhere in Queensland with postage included in the price. Payment runs through RedSpear, not person-to-person, so the buyer is protected either way.
How hard does it shoot?
It hasn’t been chronographed for this listing, and gas pistols shoot differently as the weather changes, so chrono it at the field on the day. Queensland fields check against the FPS limits before you play.
Are gel blasters legal in Queensland?
Yes. Gel blasters are legal for adults aged 18 and over in Queensland, with no licence required, provided you follow the usual storage, transport and venue rules. See our Queensland gel blaster laws guide for the full picture.
Gel blasters are legal for adults 18+ in Queensland. See the QLD gel blaster laws guide . More used blasters on the marketplace .
