The new breakthrough in paintball. The Barrel Condom, or BBD (Barrel Blocking Device), is a great jump for paintball safety. Much better than the traditional barrel plug, and are becoming far more popular. They were made mandatory by the NPPL in all their tournaments, and I think they should be made mandatory internationally. The IPPL (Internation Paintball Players League) needs to take action here and get these BBD's made mandatory. They are much safer, and even look cooler looking IMHO.

So...support BBD's at your local paintball field!!

yep, i have to agree. i use a barrel condom and i think not only do they look cooler, but they are lot safer. i've seen a lot of people forget to put on their safeties off the field and accidentally fire off their gun. with just the barrel plug, they usually end up shooting the plug out at someone. with the barrle condom, even if the gun goes off, the condom will stay on. just my 2 cents.

BBD's are the safest way to block an accidental shot. Even if you're dry firing you can shoot a barell plug out! You can dry figure all day with the BBD. I use mine everytime I go out. One day it was all BBD's, the other I was the only one with one, if you get the right people together you'll see what the safest thing to use.
