Get the dick-barreled mug.In the game, "Call of Duty", is the act of "no-scope" sniping while the barrel of the sniper rifle is touching or nearly-touching the opposing player. If the barrel of the gun is 3 or more feet away from the opposing player, it is not considered a "Barrel Stuff". Barrel Stuffing is considered the "noob" way of "no-scope" sniping.
