Over at Airsoft Chile (posted by Disajim in the forums) there’s news that Airsoft has been officially recognised by a governing sports body. I’m told the source documents and original news is here, however you’ll need a forum account at Airsoft Chile to view the post.
The text and documents are in Spanish and the news is also covered over at Popular Airsoft.
Whilst my own Spanish is somewhat limited to ordering beer and pizza I’m assured that the documents above cover the recognition of Airsoft in Chile.
If someone out there is happy to email me their translation and further explanation of the process and documents I’ll update this article for everyone. ;)
