I think those are more for shrapnel and maybe some small blunt force stuff, think of someone protester throwing a rock at your face an so on.

Any projectile unless you mean shit like a 22 would have enough force to either take a couple of teeth / break our jaw or literally kill you from cranial trauma if they don't penetrate it to begin with.

>>33002408

Only no gun fags suggest that shit. The most excited I got over that book, is when I used it to start a bon fire in the backyard.

>>33002228
I would probably use part of one if I had the care to make a juggernaut suit.

Cut part of the top off and bracket to a helmet. Add a few layers of ballistic goggles over the eye slits.


However the end suit would probably be over 200 lbs and 25k thus impractical for anything but a breach man and only made to fit one person.

They should give them to soldiers with facial disfigurements from combat, assuming that's all that's wrong with them. Once prosthetics match human limbs they can form The Faceless, a regiment which specializes in breaking enemy morale.

>>33002514

Well, I guess it is one way to commemorate the 100 years gone since 1917 when men were men and British tankers were terrified of sitting in moving tin cans where every hit meant a spray of British steel splinters. And the only part of their bodies covered with more than cotton was their head.

It will be very painful.

As far as i know that type of mask can stop a 9mm from punching through.
And by stopping i mean that your face absorbs all the force behind said 9mm, which definetly isnt something you want to experience.
As other people in this thread have already mentioned, its made to protect you from shrapnel coming from any sort of explosive, such as a grenade for example.

All regiments have to deal with civilians at one point, and making them scared is the last thing you want.

Learn to read nigger, 22 is the only thing that wouldn't fuck the guy who got shot in the face.

Anything bigger would either break teeth / bones or literally kill the guy.

>>33007352
You are dead wrong. Have you ever been hit with a bug while riding a motorcycle going 70? Now imagine a solid lead bug but going thousands of feet per second.
It's going to fuck your face up and your entire face will be bruised, fractured, and decommissioned. You might be alive but you're not fighting. And all at the cost of wearing some heavy bulky piece of shit on your head that won't even let you get a cheek weld.

The curves on this mask add a lot to its survivability. A flat pieced of Kevlar would get fucked up but the curved surface deflects very well. If the mask had more of a snout it might work even better.

They can stop a .44mag without breaking any bones though.
So it's ducking handy for not dying if you take a pistol round to the face.

They hold up surprisingly well but your face is going to get fucking eviscerated. I guess it's a better alternative to getting brained at least.

"Zombie apocalypse" is school/mass shooting happening.

>>33014069
You're right, they're not equal. The bullet hitting will have less force because of air resistance.

>>33014416
What sort of "school shooting" involves needing a fortified compound in the woods with many months of food and ammo?

That's not preparation for a school shooting. That's preparation for civil conflict and deterioration of social order. "Zombies" are just so that they don't need to think about the unpleasant reality of such a situation. Few people want to dwell on something so distasteful, but they feel compelled to prepare for it because some part of them senses it coming. They feel the dread on the horizon.

>>33014242
>>33014242
>>33014242

>>33014471

Really, people don't realize it on conscious level but "Zombie apocalypse" is mass shooting.
- dehumanization of "targets". Yesterday they were normal people but today its ok to shoot them because day Z happened. Often in "zombie action media" "heroes" could even recognize former humans but now its "zombies" it is ok to kill them. Oh, my former boss, drooling retard now, get shotgun blast in the face! Cheating former girlfriend? Chop her to pieces with an axe! Oh the irony!
- "survivors" vs sea of enemies. "Survivors" are absolutely outnumbered by "zombies"
- zombies are not armed.
>incomprehensible nature of happening by itself. Suddenly people turn into zombies? How is even possible? What explanation? Well... What happens in mind of mass shooter flipping the switch?
Rings a bell?

Overall it is manifestation of ordinary man suppressed and angry wishing to revolt against limits of everyday life. Whishing to "drop chains" at least for day. You can trace in many cultures tradition of festivals and orgies when for a period people done such, abandoning rules for time and fully indulge in the things they unconsciously desire most. Gun is huge part of american culture but its full use is obviously suppressed in the ordinary life. Chained. ""Zombie apocalypse" is orgy with american accent. Orgy of guns.

Things about compounds, preparations etc. People don't realize true nature of the unconscious desire but like everything they try to analyse it consciously. "Virus this Virus that". Appears lore, rules and this starts to live by own life of folklore. "Slow zombies, fast zombies, special zombies" . So incomprehensible day Z starting to get "logical" explanations and "logical" preparation acts. But this is just people preaching to totems logical (give magical thing food get treat in return, sounds logical ) and incomprehensible at the same time (what? fairies exist? wew...)

In a standard "zombie apocalypse" fantasy, the zombies come to your home/compound and you are forced to defend yourself. It's not about you setting out to kill, it's about you being forced to kill, to defend yourself and your family from the barbaric hoards that civilized society no longer holds back.

>>33015115
>It's not about you setting out to kill
It is self-deception to get excuse for killing from your own brain and set of morals. No humans would ever behave like "zombie lore" tell us. Storming unarmed into compound burying defenses under the weight of bodies and ignoring pain and fear completely. Realistically unarmed crowd under fire would run for their life.

But their behavior better clicks into place in the mass shooting scenario. Stupid-confused, easy targets for shooting but may be dangerous at close range "jumping and swarming to bite survivor". Don't running away (because no place to run actually) staying in classrooms and "drolling".

>to defend yourself and your family
Another interesting bit of "zombie lore". Everyone can turn into "zombie", even family and closest friends and only way to "cure" them is bullet to the head. "Survivors" may align into groups with distant unknown people. Completely random. Again not very realistic happening but completely in line with mass shooting scenario.

>>33015688
I think it is self-deception to excuse their problematic fear. They fear the race war, but on an intellectual level they could never even admit that race war was a possibility. To them, that is a horrible thought that is un-American to even consider.. but they still fear it at a primal level. At numerous times in history uncivilized masses have exterminated a civilized minority. The slave revolt of Haiti was the embodiment of a zombie apocalypse.

>>33015688
>Another interesting bit of "zombie lore". Everyone can turn into "zombie", even family and closest friends and only way to "cure" them is bullet to the head. "Survivors" may align into groups with distant unknown people.
Furthermore this is likely a lore-recognition of the consequences of civil wars, where brothers fight brothers.

>>33015938
Revolts are gun fights. Look at any place that falls into anarchy mode nowadays. They are ruled by gun armed mobs. Unarmed people are exterminated and/or fall into submission. "Preparations" for fighting hordes of unarmed humanoids fighting till they can move are completely unrealistic.
