Its basically the same thing as PRO FLEX athletic tape that we use on injuries, and it would be harder id imagine on a pump gun, i only got it cause i didnt want to paint that benelli in fear of ruining it, and its a semi auto and i could cover that forend. in the future id love to get it dipped in either Mossy Oak Obsession or Break up or something but that tape is excellent on those guns and when you take it off at the end of the season it doesnt leave a mess. I also have it on my Encore Pro Hunter for good ol Yotes Ha.
