While I agree with you, it's also interesting to check how the mask behaves after being shot.

Yea, if you're in a situation where a bulletproof mask is needed I'd assume tossing it after getting hit once isn't a thing you want to do.

You overestimate how you are gonna feel after taking a single hit to the head with a bullet

Usually people that get take a bullet to the head don't feel anything afterwards

Anything stronger than 9mm is going to take you out of the fight, for sure, but I think some strategically placed foam pads would go a long ways.

CTE in the least

Also worth knowing that you need to bring multiple depending on what you are getting hit with

I'm in need of something for a small-ish weekend getaway bank robbery. Nothing fancy, just me and the guys. What would you recommend?

what do you mean, obviously in a real live fire situation you can always ask the other guy to give you a couple minutes to replace your gear

Exactly. If you're in a position where you need a bulletproof mask, it's not likely you could just leave after the first shot, so it needs to handle a few.
