johnny... that’s a very Brit term. But same same.

A rubber is a standard piece of naval issue.

Has been since WW1. 

“Once deployed over the Barrrel of a standard weapon... be it Lee Enfield or Styre carbine, it protects the Weapon from water ingress.

The first round fired destroys the water tight integrity requiring the “rubber” to be 

re-applied after the first action to retain effectiveness.”
