1、Designation: F2271 10An American National StandardStandard Specification forPaintball Marker Barrel Blocking Devices1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2271; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the yea
2、r of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis standard is intended to outline basic performance requirements for barrel blocking devices,commonly known as
3、 “barrel plugs.” A barrel blocking device is a critical piece of safety equipmentused in the sport of paintball.Paintball is a sport that, like all sports, has intrinsic hazards. These hazards include being hit bypaintballs. Protective equipment cannot eliminate all injuries but will substantially r
4、educe theirseverity and frequency. A barrel blocking device is an additional safety device that, when meeting thisstandard and properly used, can substantially reduce the severity and frequency of injuries. Paintballmarker barrels are not all the same inside diameter, thus necessitating performance
5、specifications forbarrel blocking devices that match the barrel blocking device to a barrel diameter. This specificationis written within the current state-of-the-art of paintball marker barrel and paintball barrel blockingdevice technology. The intent is to revise this specification whenever substa
6、ntive information becomesavailable which justifies revising existing requirements or adding new requirements.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers paintball barrel blocking de-vices that may be inserted or otherwise function to prevent apaintball from leaving the muzzle or the confines of the barrel
7、blocking device intact.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The inch-pound units given in parentheses areprovided for information only.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of
8、the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory requirements prior to use.2.

Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 Paintball Marker Terms:3.1.1.1 auto-triggera trigger which, when held in thedischarge position, will automatically cause the paintballmarker to discharge when the pump or bolt action is manipu-lated.3.1.1.2 barrelthat portion of
10、 a paintball marker throughwhich the paintball is discharged.3.1.1.3 barrel blocking devicea safety device that pre-vents an intact paintball from being accidentally dischargedfrom the muzzle of the paintball marker or leaving the confinesof the barrel blocking device.3.1.1.4 burst mode markera burs
11、t mode marker maydischarge two or more times per trigger cycle or may dischargetwo or more times with the pull and release of the trigger.3.1.1.5 discharge modea mode that controls the numberof paintballs discharged per trigger cycle.3.1.1.6 enhanced trigger mode markera paintball markerthat at some
12、 point discharges more than one paintball pertrigger cycle. This includes markers that “store” the number oftrigger.3.1.1.7 fully-automatic mode markera marker that dis-charges when the triggering device is actuated and continues todischarge until the trigger returns to its reset or recycleposition.

21、al use of barrel blocking devices in paintball markers.5. Conformance5.1 Barrel blocking devices shall not, either by label or othermeans, indicate conformance with this specification unlessthey conform to all applicable requirements contained herein.6. General Requirements6.1 PerformanceUpon any di
22、scharge of a paintball from apaintball marker with a barrel blocking device properly in-stalled according to the manufacturers instructions, the barrelblocking device must remain inserted or over the muzzle andprevent an intact paintball from exiting the muzzle or theconfines of the muzzle blocking
23、device. Tests shall be con-ducted in accordance with 7.2.6.2 All barrel blocking devices shall completely cover orblock the exit orifice of the barrel.
