It looks like the debate whether airsoft is covered or not by the Philippine Election Gun Ban is now over. Whilst it was indicated in the COMELEC issued Comelec Resolution No. 10015 that replicas are covered, some airsoft players think they can given that airsoft has been excluded as firearm in Republic Act No. 10591 (RA 10591), they are exempted in the election gun ban.

It's "MASKS DOWN" in the Philippines where airsoft players from all over the islands will start to rejoice as the election gun ban ended last night at 2359 GMT + 8. This is according to the provisions of Comelec Resolution No. 9561-A as part of the mid-term Elections last May 13. With gun violence during the election campaigns happening, gun bans are put into place during elections.

One vibrant part of the airsoft world is back into action, no wonder there are group hugs all over the Philippine Isles.
