Do bulletproof masks actually work? Ballistic test. - Summary

Summary

The video is a demonstration of the effectiveness of various face shields in stopping bullets. The narrator, who is also the host of the video, tests different shields using a ballistic dummy to simulate the effects of various shots. The shields tested include a Level 3A shield, a 22 caliber shield, a Glock with Norman ammunition, a Heckler and Koch USP 45 tactical with a suppressor, a 44 magnum, and a fal.

The video begins with the host stating that he has no idea if the face shields will work, but he plans to test them anyway. He discusses the importance of safety, especially when testing weapons, and makes sure the weapons are pointed away from him and the dummy.

The host then tests the shields using a 22 caliber round, a Glock with Norman ammunition, a Heckler and Koch USP 45 tactical with a suppressor, and a 44 magnum. He finds that the shields do not stop these rounds, but they do cause significant deformation, suggesting that they could potentially stop a bullet, but would also likely cause injury.

The host also tests a fal, a common weapon in South America. He finds that the shield does not stop the fal, but it does cause significant deformation.

In conclusion, the host states that while the shields do not stop the rounds, they do cause significant deformation. He suggests that if someone is shot in the face, they would likely die, regardless of whether the shield stopped the bullet or not. He then advises against buying these shields, stating that they are "cringe larping gear", and instead suggests training and getting good armor. He mentions several armor manufacturers, including LTC, RMA, Hesco, and Bear Solutions, and encourages viewers to save up for the correct armor.

Facts

1. The video is about testing the effectiveness of different face shields, particularly those designed to withstand rounds from various firearms.
2. The face shields being tested are Level 3a, which should theoretically be able to stop a round from a 44 Magnum.
3. The test is conducted by shooting at a ballistic dummy with various firearms, including a 22 caliber, a Glock with normal ammunition, a Heckler and Koch USP 45 tactical with a suppressor, and a 44 Magnum.
4. The face shields are found to deform significantly under impact, potentially leading to severe injury or death.
5. The video ends with a recommendation to invest in high-quality, certified armor rather than gimmicky gear.
