penalty box for shooters

The Idea of the Cooper Tunnels was to keep a shooters head and body crouched while moving. = could be like keep your head down, when running between cars and trucks to shoot back at Bad guys.

So with a two low walls say 4.5 feet tall +,or - set parallel louse 1x4 or 1x2 or even as big as 2x4 would be put resting on top. If the shooter did not crouch down to mover through they would hit the board with their head, and that was all the penalty needed to say 'Hey keep your head down'

Now most baricades are just an obstical and a cooper tunnel set low is mostly just used as a way to 'slow' a shooter down

Later with ruels a penalty was added if the shooter knocked a top pice of wood off.

Stand up two 4x8 sheet of plywood on the 8ft side down parallel 4 feet apart and lay 1x2 from plywood to plywood and try to duck waddel under them, yo now have a Cooper Tunnel.
