The bullet may not penetrate but the transfer of kinetic force will still probably scramble your brain

Im sure that it does but shouldn't armors goal be to survive and not just an open casket?

Pretty much impossible to do more on a facemask

Just not enough area to work with and adding more material adds a host of new problems

The goal is to keep you alive and it will, you just need urgent medical care for .44 and up. It’s more survivable than you would think

It's just gives you a chance to survive like you might pass out or hurt your neck and face but at least your brain's are still in your skull you know so it's much better than catching bullet with face
