Weapon safety bumpers
Soft protective bumpers for the front of the barrel: they protect players in close contact and the optics from knocks. In bright colours, they also mark the teams.
How it works
-
Fit it
The bumper slides onto the front of the barrel.
-
Protect people
Soft thermoplastic elastomer cushions collisions between players.
-
Protect the gear
It covers the most vulnerable part, the optics, and saves the body from scratches and chips.
-
Mark the teams
Bright colours act as team markers, so clubs need no extra kit to tell sides apart.
