- How safe is your eye protection really? We know it's important to keep our eyes protected but what happens when we put a range of options to the test, and can we make a recommendation about what is and isn't safe? Destruction included...

Eye protection is the only place not to compromise even if on a budget, it makes a world of different if you have a decent pair of googles. and its your freaking eyes you are protecting, why would you ever skimp on that,
the gear makes a hobby, and can be replaced, but eyes can make your job for that hobby, and cant be replaced. would you rather a good gun or eyes?
What about the gun?
BUY A HIGH END PAINTBALL MASK WITH THERMAL LENSE!!!!!!!
demon GH so you would rather have a nice gun and permanent eye damage then having an ok gun and not go blind
Your hitting the nail on its had
You can probably use the first mask for nerf
Yes
Playin' with the Brothers Jones na it’ll break through
I’m joking
You can use sunglasses for nerf
do you even need a mask for nerf?
Playin' with the Brothers Jones no shit Sherlock
Realistic vs unrealistic scenario shouldn't matter. Accidents happen. Point and case, my friend ran out of a corner a week ago and took friendly fire from an LMG that was firing across of the corner. Point blank in the face from 3ft. He just walked in front of it by accident. You can't replace your eyes, you can't control accidents, you can't control what other people do and what BBs other people use. Don't be a fool, use ANSI rated full seal eyepro.
lowalkoroc Can vouch, was shot in face. LMG gunner hadn’t heard the “friendly coming in” calls like we thought he had and ripped a burst right as I turned the corner. A couple BBs bounced off my full seal eye protection, and another 3 or 4 chewed up my face just below it. I shudder to think what might have been if I’d skimped on eye protection, and I don’t think I’ll play without some kind of face (or at the least, teeth) protection again.
that is horrifying mate.
E House - Gun Gamers similar situation here, was playing a field game when I first started , friend Mia Ali rated his hopup and shot me in the teeth with his 500 FPS sniper. 6 inches higher and it would have gone under my safety glasses and hit my eye. Went out and bought a full mask the next day.
True fact with regards to eyesight.
As I always say, the doctor can do more to save you from a real gunshot wound to the stomach than a plastic BB to the eye.
Simon Kunze I don't know at wills eye hospital they fixed my eye when if got cut open by a can lid my eye was flat and cut open but they fixed it and I can sorta see in my right eye now. the can lid was throw in the air by my brother just to clear things up
“Survival game” is what the game of airsoft is called in Japan. Japan has a quite strict 0.989J limit for airsoft guns, but even with that it would probably break. Most fields are banning those kind of meshed masks here.
Resume:
Don't buy mesh, never.
Don't buy replacable googles.
Don't buy cheap and general polycarbonate.
Buy stuff that works and is made to support bbs
Big resume:
Only buy stuff that will protect your eyes, no matter the price
If you’re using mesh mask than I recommend wearing safety goggles behind them
Also, READ REVIEWS. People sometimes post pictures as well detailing wear and tear for both good and bad, or I could be mistaken.
So buy a dye mask
Buy a full clear 1cm thick plastic mask that cost more than $100
Milspec Revision goggles have replaceable lenses, that's a bullshit criterion
I just saw two Silo's videos where a guy walked in front of a Sniper and was shot in the face. In another one the unfortunate victim almost lost a tooth, bleeding like hell. Shit happens, I believe this guy when he says to not underestimate accidents.
The amount of people in the comments here that don't seem to realise that this stuff *does* happen amazes me honestly.... Some people are very happy to be carefree with their eyesight :(
Cheers for the comment and now I can go find those vids and link em whenever someone decides to call it stupid.
There they are: /watch?v=gNXMGNGjSyw 0:47 Sniper in the face. ouch. /watch?v=pxjYdHNCe9U 6:41 bleeding guy wearing only googles. Double ouch.
Thank you sir! And yeah... I don't get why ppl don't feel the need to wear lower face pro. Apparently looking operator is more important than having teeth!
The first mask is what my airsoft field gives to noobs 0_0
You better start shutting it down
Noob culling
Who stays and who goes, only the shitty masks can tell who really want to play airsoft
@@elbinopaper4629 Ah yes, I would also like to lose a eye. Because Y'know, if I'm too much of a pussy to lose a eye or two then I'm too much of a pussy to play airsoft.
What a fucking joke.
CQB or outdoor, if it's CQB that's fine
Disregard anyone who says “Yeah well, that’s extreme rare scenario.” If it’s possible in a test, it can happen and you can never be too careful.
I was sniping and my teammate walked in front of me while I fired a shot, luckily he wasn't hurt and it was fine. But if I hit him in the eye and he had shitty googles and it broke through it could have been a bad day for him.
Well yeah but a plane crashing on your house at the same time as you getting hit by lightning is possible but it's never gonna happen
@@yourmom1302 how do you know it'll never happen
I had bb shatter on mesh once
I was extremely lucky it bounced off the sides and missed my eye
Tadhgro that must’ve been so scary
Edge case demonstrations are essential because eye protection *is* edge case protection- ideally people aren't aiming for your eyes, doesn't mean you don't want to be protected.
Exactly man, I hope people take it the right way and don't just think it's a stupid test... that stuff can and will happen eventually, even if it's rare!
Im a paintballer, never even played airsoft. But. Thats a MUCH larger projectile moving at similar speeds (285 is legal limit here in my part of the states) and i've taken god only knows how many hits directly to the lenses of my mask. I dont even want to think about what that could have done to me with inadequate protection. Safety is nothing to skimp out on
I was shocked to see the results of the testing. That is because i have the cheap mesh mask that got destroyed so easily. I bought it from an airsoft retailer, I would have never thought that they are so flimsy. I'm happy that I was lucky enough to avoid accidents this far. Anyways thanks for the warning!
Well, when you are hiding and peaking out, what is the only thing that the enemy can see? Your head! They will shoot it. I'd say 1 BB out of 10 that hit me is in the face. Good eye and face protection is more important than your gun. Also, goggles that don't fog is also a thing to look for, foggy goggles can ruin a day.
AGrumpyPanda ya but I mean no one will be point blank with a sniper so
14:20 that music and the gun sound match perfectly
I think that was intentional
Well it was edited to do so, certainly a sniper doesn't shot so fast
@@TheGameIsFunny yeah but the point is its statisfying
Best airsoft video I have seen. Not: "look at my awesome gun," or "Look at how good I am at this game." Instead: "This is how to be safe and have fun at the same time. Kudos
Cheaper/crappier bb's can shatter even in lower speeds. You start to think about your eye pro choice after you spit bb peaces when kid opened full auto to your lower face mesh. I have eyeglasses so i'm bit safer, but still i would not recommend mesh for eye protection, lower face sure and even there braided mesh every time!
For those who have eye glasses ESS land ops fit least with my glasses, are tested up to 180m/s and those are pretty old model so those are bit cheaper today. Do fog a bit, but removing top and below foam and using anti fog liquid makes problem go away even for heavy sweater like my self. Price is roughly 80$ where back in the day those were close to 120$ and you can find ones used, though do inspect and test them before use (least look for indentation from sniper point blank shot). Always test eye pro with most powerful gun allowed at the field and point blank range.
Good advice here, and the thing I should have mentioned as an alternative. I wear glasses myself but can thankfully deal with using contact lenses, for those who can't I've only heard good things about the ESS Lands Ops mentioned and they support most glasses and are fairly cheap for goggles that are properly compatible with specs. Good contribution man :)
quick question what do you think of this airsoft gun
ua-cam.com/video/MMY_SUuobww/v-deo.html
180 m/s with what weight BB? :)
ESS are great stuff! I got some ESS Profile NVG as well as Wiley X Spear. The last place I'm going to save money is when my eyesight is concerned.
It's likely possible to fix fogging issues with the Land Ops by using thermolenses, they're available for Profile NVG so likely for Land Ops as well.
Hey! Sorry for replying here to get your attention but I was wondering if you could tell us the power of the sniper used in the video? For someone not in the UK I don't know what the limits are.
Where I play (Denmark) the typical limit is 3.5J for snipers with MED 30 meters, so that's 615 fps / 187 m/s with 0.20g. Anything below 1.69J is zero MED.
Limit here is 2.5J with a 30m MED for bolt action aka 500fps with a 0.20g BB.
I always thought acceptable standard eye protection would cost a lot more.
At £25 for a pair that can eat a sniper at two feet, there is no excuse to wear garbage.
For your safety:
Never ever get mesh goggles.
Always test your goggles with your be gun once. Too much damage, then don't wear these to a war cause maybe they'll break through. The goggles should survive a realistic amount of shots.
Here's an idea for the balistics gel; fire different weights of BBs at a variety of fps and see how far each penetrates.
Good idea
“That is fucking scary” is exactly what I was thinking when I saw how deep it went in the ballistic gel
Think im going to check out whats local because i just found a new hobby, and the perfect channel for advice.
Don't go full bore and buy a full military style setup at the start because if you find out it's not for you you've just wasted a ton of money. All you'll really need for your first game is a gun that you can rent from the site, some good eye protection, sturdy boots ideally with ankle protection and preferably some sort of mouth protection and a helmet. If you find that you do like it that's when you can start looking at purchasing a plate carrier, camo uniform and your own guns.
thanks for the tip.
just watched w4steds Starting out with Airsoft: The Basics so i thing i have a good idea what to expect.
OMG finally I found this video again! I searched it for hours like 6 month ago and couldn't find it anymore. Thanks to the UA-cam recomendations I have it again. Great work, and very nice video! ♥
TL:DR Don't be a moron and go for flash or cheap. They are your eyes. Blindness isn't fun.
MFW one kid comes to off zone with chemical spill protection glasses from dollar store (essentially you could poke a hole with your finger) and start to head into field. Haven't seen game master go that apeshit on someone since one moron decided it was good idea to take his eye pro off middle of fire fight.. Lucky we catch him before kid was able to start playing...
FYI: you cant read video :P
pedant
Actually, you can read the video if you switch the subtitles on.
I like ^that^ pedant.
If I wasnt wearing good eye protection during my first game, I wouldve been blind on my left eye. Sniper got me dead on the goggle.
It was from relativly far away but still. Made me happy about my investment. It was a Bolle, you can still buy them. Just not that model. Dont wear mesh in general. They obscure your vision and there is a chance the BB breaks and you get schrapnel in your eye.
great content.
but many skilled players, and anyone who served in army woul;d say "NEVER TRY TO SAVE ON PROTECTION and FOOTWEAR"
Maybe not my favourite video, however it certainly got my attention and got me interested. Looking forward to what the next episode will be
So I'm already into Nerf, and use those mesh goggles for that to avoid steaming, making the move into Airsoft now and I'm so glad I've seen this video! Thank you so much for making it, and helping me be able to watch it with both eyes! I'll have to just deal with fogging!
Wish something like this was available when I started airsoft. Would have saved me some cash long term.
I'd also add with eye protection it's worth testing the frames. I've seen glasses style protectors where the bridge snapped when they were hit.
Usually older players check new players gear by glance and if something is not right (like cheap looking eye pro, that is not from trusted manufacturer like Bolle or ESS) they tell them to go test it. Game masters then take top velocity gun (170m/s sniper) and point blank test shoot it in the lens and if frame is questionable, again to that. Test is optional, but you are playing if eye pro witch is not tested. Bolle and ESS eye pro models has been tested so many times that its pretty redundant already.
Our field demands head band for all glasses style protectors, so those wont fly off if you fall etc. Bridge snapping is excellent point though, but i really dont see benefit on using such eye pro anyways, unless you have masochistic tendencies towards fast moving bb's.
omg, i've got the full face 'protect' mask (the first one that u tested) and after this video i am so happy that i'm never played with this on a field! Hope this Video is growing big that every small or big dude saw what's trash and what's nice 2 protect the eyes. Thank u so much for this vid! And sry for my bad english xD
Great video, really useful. I love your series of airsoft videos and your presenting style. Getting back into airsoft after a looooooong time and feeling like a newbie again so it's great to have some common sense, friendly information that's UK based and so well presented. Thanks!
I've spent quite a bit on eye pro over the years and it took me a while to find what's right. This is great video for beginners and if you are new to this hobby, if you're gonna skimp out on anything please don't let it be protection
Very well made and quite interesting.
I may not have any plans of ever trying out airsoft, but it is interesting to see these toys being put to the test in various ways. Still looking forward to the comparison of the two guns you bought, if you manage to get some useful footage from that in the end; the teasers looked promising.
I may have wished for a few non-edge case shots at the different gear just to see what kind of inertia dropoff there is, but it isn't very important since the protective gear is there to save your eyes when things go wrong.
The main reason I really wanted some shots from different distances was to see how much of an edge case it is to be shot from 20 cm away -- how much farther away do you need to be to make the bad gear at least non-awful/not break? The idea is not to legitimise the bad gear but to give an idea of _how_ bad it is in stead of only having a binary good/bad stamp.
As always, keep up the good work.
Sounds like a follow up idea to me man :) Never a bad thing!
I have the first mask :/ so now i gonna buy a better mask THANKS :D
very refreshing to see an honest good opinion of a product...…...you have my like sir
Thanks for the safety advice. This is a very good demonstration for airsoft players, new and old alike.
As many pointed out, extreme cases do happen. I had one quite some years ago. I had the Bolle X500 goggles, which were perfect for wearing glasses underneath. One trade off is that there is a opening for the arm of your glasses. It does not completely seal to your face.
Granted, you have the goggle band going over that opening, so there is only a really small angle from which BB can enter directly.
I was shot at from the side, and one BB managed to enter into my goggle. I wasn't hurt, but it is extremely scary to see and hear a BB bounce inside your goggle when you are getting shot, and my scream ended the game with people coming over.
That lucky (or unlucky) shot probably hit the band, bounced inside my helmet and ricochet into the opening. It lost most of its energy, so it didn't hurt my eyes.
That is a one-in-a-billion shot, and I am now much more picky with what goggles I use
Yeah, if you play long enough eventually you will see one of these edge cases happen, and when you do it teaches a good lesson. Hopefully people will take the advice in advance rather than having to experience it firsthand!
Is the 'Starting Airsoft: The Best Starter Gun?' series still in the works? Just found your channel and enjoyed that first episode but can't see a continuation of that series yet. Cheers!
Yup, had a bit of a break (unintentionally) but am back on task now :) Recording more next weekend
Excellent, glad to hear it! :)
w4stedspace ugcc Cd frd
your a very bad man Mr W4stedspace now I really wanna dust off my old airsoft gear (if any of it is salvageable) and see about a local site... Boo Hiss. make more of this sort of thing
Stephen Hurley Do it man! I just got back into the hobby myself. It’s just too much fun and new AEGs are so much nicer these days for very reasonable prices.
Rybonator
You're energy makes this video fire
An interesting test for sure, hope you guys agree.... hit me up with any suggestions for future testing :)
If you're new to the channel, checking out my Airsoft guide playlist here: ua-cam.com/play/PLTlpO3Ief-8HdDCPtUUb5ZFesd_CVjzNP.html
Did my best to up the quality a bit, with mixed results.... some of it looks great, some of it I probably made worse by trying too hard.. but hey, forgive any dodgy shots :)
The promised day has arrived!
"Survival Game" was the name of paintball. So that's even worse.
I'm just starting out and the first thing I bought was a pair of Valken Sierra goggles. Since they were a trusted brand and used by many airsofters, I knew I could trust them. They fit my flat face very well too.
Unusual scenarios mean they're rare--BUT THEY HAPPEN, and we should prepare for them. Get good eye protection; you can only see once.
I noticed you had a mesh lower face protector laying about with a dent or two in it (coincidentally it's on the 'not safe' side). Do you have anything to say about the mesh face protector; or is it more or less the same story as the mesh goggles? I'm interested because I personally own an identical protector, but wear a rather thick scarf/bandanna under it for the sake of shrapnel protection. Great video as always, thanks! =)
We did test that quickly also yeah, but decided it warrented it's own video where we look at things like shemaghs etc. We did manage to break it with the sniper yes, think it was 3 shots again even though the mesh is much thicker, think it's a weaker metal overall. More info to come soon :)
Id rather loose a tooth than an eye i think we all would plus if you swallowed a fragment of bb or it hit your tooth its not going to cause more damage than an actual bb hitting your tooth straight on which has lost me 3 teeth now i wear a mesh mask and i dont mind if they come through.
THREE?! Three teeth?!
Mesh is not essential, in fact many UK airsoft sites do not require it on site. Only eye protection is needed at all sites. It allows breathability and sound to pass through, and doesn't cover your whole face which is ideal. Some airsoft sites do require face protection but this form qualifies for it.
Love this vid but can u try this at a bit farter range ( with the sniper) and also novritch's goggles
Your house from the outside is so cool. I live in Cali and we have nothing like that unless you go to Beverly Hills, or the country side. I’ve been to England one time and it’s great. I had a good time there, and I can’t wait to come back and maybe play airsoft there
Brilliantly made and entertaining, great production value, kudos!
wut
If you dont know i would recommend looking up the International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA) Z87+ standard
We did some testing with these on a building site with Nine inch nails, none of the goggles worked some LESS THAN others. Just Like You Imagined Everyday Is Exactly The Same , Still it seemed a solution was Something I Can Never Have. but then we realized ear protection is what you need for Nine inch nails.
Diego Guerra thxs bro
This is why there’s engagement rules
Some people are dumb tho
I watch you and Spitz doing Space Engineers and come upon this video to find you are also into airsoft. Pretty cool fact. Earns my sub :)
thank you so much im a starter at airsoft and i came here looking for which eye pro i should get and you have saved my eyes again thank you
People who play specifically milsim should buy military grade oakleys they are great
Only thing i'm ever putting in front of my eyes are military issue revision sawly's. Maximum protection
ForestPhantom 37 same. got a deluxe set with the tinted lenses and everything for $5 at a goodwill. best buy ever
ForestPhantom 12 your a fuckin legend
Yay more airsoft content! Could you place the ballistic gel behind the mesh googles so we can see what damage the paint and bits of BB would do?
When I first started airsoft, I had a $400 budget for everything. I spent 1/4 off it on face protection. Better to start off with a mediocre gun and definite safeness than a good gun and blindness.
Smart dude
Well I have proper military ballistics goggles so I think I’ll be fine
Ive got wiley x goggles but airsoft is ilegal in my country
Should think about making a second channel just for airsoft
Thing is Steven, my top 2 vids on this channel are Airsoft ones... and UA-cam seems to promote those above everything else I do atm. Not saying I'm stopping gaming, but it doesn't make much sense when YT already seems to promote this channel as an Airsoft chan
I see your point there but thanks for the info on the mask just got into airsoft not to long ago
really love the work you put into your videos
I just bought the Pyramex I-Force Sporty duel pane anti-fog goggles. I sweat a lot too and these I had no issues with...as a matter of fact I just ordered a second set with the tinted lenses for those bright sunny days. Great vid !!! take care of your eyes folks
or just a pair of bcgs combat glasses or as the us military calls them birth control goggles cuz its impossible to get laid while wearing them
at this stage i'm wondering why anyone would use mesh.
plastic just seems superior.
I'm guessing its because mesh can't steam up.
You've convinced me to invest in a pair of ESS goggles. I currently run a mesh full-face mask and after seeing this video I'm not feeling at all safe anymore. If you solely wanted to put a good message out there, mission accomplished I'd say.
Wiley X is also worth considering. I own both ESS and Wiley X, both are great and perfectly safe.
This video just makes me happy that I picked up a nice pair of Revision Desert Locust goggles. I'll probably have to link this to any of my friends that are still using mesh goggles.
I got ESS goggles from my dad that he wore in Iraq, I'll trust those to hell and back haha
misfit Yeah I’m actually planning to buy some
Hey W4sted, what goggles are good to use with glasses?
I've struggled with finding a good pair of shooting glasses to wear over prescription lenses for years. There aren't many options out there, and wearing a second pair of goggles or glasses over glasses isn't very comfortable for extended wear.
Currently for work applications I use the ESS Crossbow, I previously used the ICE, which can be purchased with a RX lens insert option for ANSI rated goggles at work. It's not cheap after you add in the price of lenses, but you only have two eyes and one pair will last you a long time as the exterior lenses can be replaced cheaply. I recommend them for good protection and comfort. They also have full goggles if you want even more side protection, but the ICE and Crossbow both offer adequate side protection in my opinion without being as prone to fogging.
Thanks Texfire!! Will look into them, never thought of RX lenses.
The RX insert works with the V12's with a replacement clip, the clip SHOULD come with the RX insert if bought new. but sadly the V12's have been discontinued by ESS at some point
www.esseyepro.com/Cortex-Clip_155_detail.html
Seems Ess do a line directly for Airsoft, can get the RX inserts.
@@nunzionuk very late but if you still care guard dogs evader 2
great video, W4stedSpace! it really clears everything up!
THIS IS SOOO HELPFUL! As I'm turning 16 in 2 months, i can start airsofting this year. This video goes to show why it's smart to do some research, before playing airsoft. Thank you so much wasted! I feel alot safer, knowing that I'm getting proper eye protection, and not the other crap that's out on the market.
I mean you can go to an airsoft field under the age of 16..
10% or 20% Gelatine?
(10% is inadequate)
We're not testing body penetration here. Even 1, 2 or 3mm can screw up an eye. It really doesn't matter.
Try skying googles because some of them are really good (i saw a video where a skying person fell on a sharp rock with his googles and the googles survived)
Sebastian Ray did his eyes
@@TheRealHalolad unfortunately the google's were so strong that transferred the impact force from the Rock and smashed the guy skull
D gmpdc thanks for the info
You have saved a LOT of people from going to the hospital . Good job.
good video wasted i like that someone finally did a good eye protection video
A really good video, but too much stretched in length. It's hard to stay concentrated, because most things will be repeated three times or more. But anyways, thanks for sharing your knowledge and tests with others, so they/we can stay save.
I'm way too verbose :( Working on it! Glad it was appreciated nonetheless but hopefully I'll nail the length in future :)
Yeah, that's nothing bad, but can lead into, that people jump trough the video, lost some important things or break the video up, because it's too much. Maybe do first a little explain, then make the test with a small of information and in the end, you can easily do a comparison, after that, you're free to give so much information, like you like and it's fine. The people have the important things and if they like more, they stay, if not, they go, but you reached your goal and haven't to cut your way to make your videos. Just my two cents which reached my head right now :)
moral- if you are poor dont do airsoft concentrate on ur job
True true. Airsoft is expensive
Lmao
If you're on a really tight budget try the all time classic Uvex s1179 (in Patriot scheme preferably), they're around 10 bucks and it provides pretty good cheekbone protection and the apex on the side deflects shrapnel/bbs for days.
W4sted great video and really informative keep up the great content
Wow, really informative. The metal mesh surprised, I was going to get a pair, not anymore; I really appreciate the testing.
Yellow lenses offer better vision in low light or rainy conditions also much less glare from any light sources or reflections so they are pretty handy tbh
Loved the video. The only thing that would kind of flaw this test, is that both the pistol and the rifle are fired at point-blank range whereas if it was a battlefield situation they would be much greater distances and the BB's would lose energy and slow down, therefore resulting in less force on impact
I was waiting for this video for so looong :)
Well done sir! I hope this managed to help someone. keep up the great work!
In the Netherlands mesh masks are forbidden to use in airsoft by law so you have to use the full "glass" eyepro and when i played a game with rental gear we got the same kind that sparky is using
Thanks for pushing for better safety for new players!
I'm using Oakley Ballistic M-Frame ever since. I know these are on the expensive side but one day those saved my left eye by just bouncing of three bbs from a pistol less than one metres away fired upon.
I would recommend, for the smaller budget, ESS Crossbow ballistic glasses. They're around 40ish Euro. I had one of these too, but somehow lost them, at least can't find them anymore.
A little tip to starting players; get a pair of strata dirt biking goggles... Almost all are antifog,
In the Army, we use ANSI Z87 rated eye pro. Little more expensive but worth it.
Totally agree about the comfort of eye pro. Mine give me a headache after a couple hours of use, can’t really adjust them enough to fit my apparently fat head. And they fog up constantly.
darklyt750 get yourself a pair of Bolle X1000’s...they are $65 but they are legitimately firearm ballistic rated and never fog up. They fit my massive melon and my head is 24” in circumference.
Brilliant!!!! I have a pair of the ESS V12’s ... So once I start airsoft I’m safe!!
Whoa it's finally released! But seriously nice vid, useful for the future
It would be interesting to see the sniper shots hit the balistic jelly from differend distances ( up to 60/80m), because it would indicate how much force is left after that. Also it would be interesting to see how the hopup affects the force at fixed distances, like 10/30/50 m.
Woo! airsoft video!
Hope you do some gameplay soon. You are great to watch/listen to.
Accidents always happen. Once I was helping a friend adjust his hopup as it was his first game and he pulled the trigger by accident and shot me in the hand from less than an inch away. Sure it wasn't my eye but these kind of things happen so be prepared
My idea of a good airsoft goggle would be a thick glass and a plastic layer in the back with a few milimeters of air inbetween. Tempered glass isn't expensive, really hard to break, but in case they do break, the plastic would catch all the fragments.
omg ive been using the big green mask for years and those bbs went straight through thats terrifying thanks fo rht evideo imma get new ones
Thanks man! I am trying airsoft for the first time tommorow. Now I will know what to chouse of protection.
I have bought my googles based on your review . Happy that I had some guidance .
Great vid. Do more Airsoft videos in the future, please. Still waiting on part 2 of the beginniner gun purchase video you did a while ago ;)
I use industrial grade protection glasses ive tested pointblank fire against with a gun with 10m safety distance.
(Might i add the glasses are rated for protecting against smaller iron peices being thrown around 2250-3000 m/s)
Watching this is giving me some design ideas.
With mesh it doesnt have to go through to cause damage, the paint on the back chips off and can go into your eyes
Just wanted to say thanks, the video helped a lot. but also raised another question. What would the effects be, if the polymer glasses, had stress concetrations due to ventilation holes drilled into it. So I tested it and thought you might like to know the results of that test. Note, I tested this with normal workshop safety glasses and with a CO2 pistol (4.5mm steel BB's at 400fps). With the the added stress concentration area and aiming directly at that weakspot, it took about 8shots point blank to crack it in the same manner as the one you tested.
Great video, thankyou. Should be required viewing for everyone.
I have mesh goggles and they took a lot of direct hits from strong airsoft guns in CQB but they barely had a scratch on them, but then again, I have the more high quality stuff.
i always say this... money should not be an issue, because even if they cost $1000 that is a small price to pay for keeping both eyes.
