Thread: Tape over muzzle?

I find it funny that if you were to ask the same question to a US group they would all tell you to put a condom on the end of your barrel.

Yes they do...ask the question in a facebook group etc and you will see pictures of condoms over the end of barrels secured with rubber bands etc..
Im not sure who would think that was a better idea than tape but most american's will advocate to use a condom and not tape. Strange eh.

In Vietnam, condoms were issued for that very purpose. They fitted easily over the birdcage flash hider of the M16 and could be secured with tape or string.

I have taped my rifles for many years, about 6" of tape down the side of the barrel and the last inch stuck over the muzzle. Often the column of air ahead of the bullet will flip the tape open. Having the long piece down the side means there is always more if you shoot the end off. Very handy in Westland and Fiordland.

Yeah +1 to taping over the end and dangling dental floss for a wind indicator

This probably started from deployed troops asking their family's for boxes of condoms...."To keep debris out of the barrel"..... But they didnt mean rifle haha.

Then people started using them on rifles after hearing about the requests back home
