What is the purpose of Clear Barrel Indicators (CBIs)?

Clear Barrel Indicators (CBIs) serve the important purpose of indicating that a firearm is unloaded and safe to handle. These indicators are inserted into the barrel of the air rifle, providing a visual cue that there is no live round in the chamber. This enhances safety during training and handling by ensuring that everyone present can quickly and easily verify the condition of the firearm.

By using CBIs, shooters can maintain a higher level of safety awareness, significantly reducing the risk of accidental discharges. This is particularly crucial in training environments, where many individuals may be handling firearms simultaneously. CBIs contribute to a culture of safety by making it clear to all that the weapon is not only unloaded but also has been inspected and is in a safe condition for use or transport.
