Re: Shielding the Shooter

I think a barrel would probably count as shielding in itself, but dont take only my word for it. As long as the actual mechanism that is providing kinetic energy to the ball (fly wheel, piston, etc) is shielded I think you'll be fine.
As to how to shield it, a polycarb/aluminum/wooden case would work, and so would a "rollcage" or something of that nature.
