Details

This tutorial explains the proper way to use a barrel cover. Players slide the cover fully over the barrel, then tighten the retention strap until it stays in place under light pulling.

Players perform simple tension tests to ensure the cover doesn’t slip when bumped. The guide reinforces safe pointing habits by keeping the muzzle aimed downward or toward neutral ground, even with a cover on.

Trigger discipline is treated as a companion skill fingers remain clear of the trigger whenever the barrel cover is in place.

Together, these habits prevent accidental paint discharge and improve overall staging safety.
