😮Face shields equipped with level 3A armor are not capable of stopping high-powered bullets.
🩸Gunshots to the face shield cause significant deformation and backface trauma.
🔫Wearing a face shield alone does not provide sufficient protection against gunshots.
🚫Face shields may offer some level of protection against low-powered rounds, but not against high-caliber ammunition.
🔁Further research and testing are required to develop effective personal protective gear against firearms.
Can a face shield protect against gunshots?
—No, face shields equipped with level 3A armor are not capable of stopping high-powered bullets. They may provide some protection against low-powered rounds, but not against high-caliber ammunition.
What happens when a bullet hits a face shield?
—When a bullet hits a face shield, the shield experiences significant deformation and backface trauma. There is a potential for serious injury even if the bullet does not penetrate the shield.
Can I rely on a face shield for protection against firearms?
—No, wearing a face shield alone does not provide sufficient protection against gunshots. It is important to use proper body armor and follow other safety protocols when dealing with firearms.
Are there any face shields that can stop bullets?
—Currently, there are no face shields on the market that can reliably stop high-powered bullets. Further research and development are needed to create effective personal protective gear against firearms.
What are some alternatives to face shields for bullet protection?
—For bullet protection, it is recommended to use properly tested and certified body armor, such as ballistic vests and helmets. These are designed to provide enhanced protection against firearm projectiles.
00:00Grant Thompson introduces the topic of testing whether face shields can stop bullets.
02:20Grant explains that face shields equipped with level 3A armor are often used in certain countries and raises doubts about their effectiveness.
10:00Grant starts shooting the face shield with different firearms, including a 22 caliber, 9mm, 45ACP, and 44 Magnum.
11:56After each shot, Grant examines the damage and deformation on the face shield and provides commentary on the potential impact on a person wearing it.
12:42Grant tests the face shield with buckshot from a shotgun and observes the results.
13:08Grant concludes that while the face shield offers some protection, it is not sufficient to stop high-powered bullets. He advises against relying solely on face shields for personal protection.
