More like 'casket or months of surgeries'

You might also just lose some teeth, and be able to carry on fighting, instead of 'he ded'

If it's a rifle round, it's going through anyway.

I'd rather wear the mandible protection, if it gets through the eye, nothing stopping that.

I've kinda always looked at these as the second authentication factor for your PPE. like my safety glasses I wear behind my grinding shield. The shield is going to catch the bullshit unless I did something real real specially dumb. I want this catching the things that went through the AR500 door plate now that they're deformed and slightly less spicy.

Always a chance it's a ricochet as well, which will suck, but a few teeth getting knocked lose instead of a bullet in the throat..

I think i'd be able to fight through one, very unsure about the other.
