I know about 5 years ago at the local rec feild a M98my friend was using shot the barrel plug out and hit my wife in the leg when he set it down on the table. I like barrel socks if only becouse my infant daughter was there and less then a foot from where my wife got hit. Coulda hit her in the head and hurt her badly. Just my 2 cents.

The barrel socks need to be made good in order for them to do a good job. I've had ones were the sting has pulled, past the neoprean... so yea.

Quailty just like anything still comes into play for safty.

I called it!

I say we horde 'em all now and control the market.
Peeps collect goggle straps? I'll sell them my old rubbery UVEX straps for a bargain LOL!

Seriously though... I think I still have my old JT Whipper Snappers and Snapper Elite gogs somewhere.

That would be a safe bet. You should have seen the tests we did. LOL We had paint spewing through the wraps but NO failure. And these tests were done at velocities FAR above what is legal on fields.

No doubt. I'd much rather have a barrel plug than a WalMart JT barrel sock. The one I got, anyway, was GARBAGE.

Field Owners Perspective

We started using covers on our rentals about 4 years back and required that players use them as well (we rent them for free, just return them clean).

Pump guns we let slide if the cover doesn't fit.

Insurance is putting the squeeze on the owners to remain 'indemnified' and so as the saying goes 'paint rolls down hill' (or something like that).

Now you know the rest of the story...
(for those of you who are old enough to remember that...)

Blessings

Indeed they do. Check this out. Beware, it's PBN. If you find yourself getting angry at the world, simply leave the site and come back here for a sanity check!
