a cure to noobs

[bokraham]

well at least in the staging area. It's not very intellectual but extremely practical. As to date I'v been shot in the arm, leg, and chest(two inches below the neck) by barrel plugs on noobs guns. It hurts, but what I really hate is being taken unawares with my mask off. If AGD or any company could produce barrel plugs in mass production that have 2 inches of foam on the head, and sell them to fields I would greatly appreciate it. May even turn a little profit, who knows?

I'm sorry if this isn't in the right place since it really isn't intellectual.

Hey, you know what they need? How about a bag with an elastic, adjustable cord on it that won't come off when a marker gets fired into it? Man, thats a great idea. Oh, wait. Nevermind.

fields would be already using barrel condoms by now, but sadly they arn't.

Many fields are not allowing barrel plugs any more for that very reason. The issue is not about making a barrel plug that does not hurt when it flies out of the barrel, but one the does not come out when a player shoots his/her marker. And barrel wraps/bags/condoms do this quite well.

I see no need to produce a product that is becoming illegal on far too many fields.

Paintball Business Association Reps??

I don't know if anyone is involved with this group, but this is an issue I noticed as well. Barrel plugs aren't as safe as condoms in my opinion.

Both here and on PBN there have been reports of a player being shot in the eye in the staging area

Plugs and mask enforcement can always be improved.

Maybe the PBA should consider making condoms mandatory instead of plugs?

Just some thoughts.

How can they make better mask enforcments? Make you where them in the staging area? The only solution i see to this problem is barrel bags.

WHat about the Paintball Insurance company? They could regulate this. At both my local fields, barrel plugs are outlawed; only condoms. If you don't have one and you want to play, you have to buy theirs for $5 at the air-fill station. I'm glad; the first time I used the barrel plug that came with my Spyder, the o-ring broke and it fell out of the barrel without be doing anything.

The field i work at now has started to do this a couple of months ago.before, I tried and convince the owner and the other manager that they should just invest in barrel bags and then only allow them. they said there was not a problem. And then, one of our empoyees shot a customer in the leg. And HE had the idea to start using barrel bags. But now, our insurence company is pushin it.
