Ballistic Facemasks
 

Just a quick question about these.

Were these ever issued/purchased and used?

Those are cute!
 

We don't do "horror movies"......

lol thanks, just wanted to make sure. I really didn't expect ya'll did, but just wanted verification.

All that armor just breeds cowardice.

That's an interesting though I really hadn't considered.

I remember learning somewhere that while the helmet marginally protects from shrapnel and pistol rounds, the benefit truly comes from the feeling of being protected.

Do you feel there is a tipping point where self-preservation and belief in equipment, outweigh the 'killer' instinct?

I really think that you got an answer and this thread is not going anywhere productive.

If you wear a mask, how are the bad guys going to get scared when one of our guys makes his war face?

What are the thoughts on ballistic shields for CQB?

I apologize if that came across as a smart ass question, but that was an honest one. Completely didn't mean to strike a nerve like that, I just found what Max_tab said to be very interesting. Maybe interpreted what Max said wrong so again, don't mean to step on toes was just an interesting thought about technology.

You didn't, I thought it was an honest question

Maybe they should just issue Pelosi masks! or Evie Hudak masks!

I've seen some women who back up a mule or turn a locomotive off its track, but those two would turn bullets.

I lol'd hard on that one

Sorry R.L- Sometimes we can be a little insensitive...

Are you referring to RedLeg's appology or MR2's Polosi comment? :D

Pat

Yes!:D
