GTREast didn't ask 4343 to cover their shooter wheel either. 4343's shooter uses an AM Pneumatic wheel, the exterior side of which is completely unprotected by any guards.

I would also hazard a guess that either inspectors have been doing a bang-up job catching unsafe shooters before they hit the field, or the fear-mongering from earlier in the season is largely unfounded. I haven't heard of a single incident of a shooter wheel(s) coming apart/ejecting balancing material on the field.
