B.P.R 2,798 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Decided to approach things a little 'safer' when practice shooting.... More so for my lads benefit than mine.... he has a few 'misfires' which sends the ammo in every direction.... One thing youll never get back is your sight.....so thought best i led by example... and make him wear them.... So.... already had these balistic glasses (also have goggles i use for drilling etc)....they have interchangeable lenses... dark... yellow and clear.... Now, these work...for sure... A mate had shrapnel all over his face... and the area where his glasses were... was clear.... Ross (RM)...came over for an hour today... and we decided to shoot at an older lens.... see how much abuse it could really take... the position was unnatural...splayed out on a bit of wood which woukd immediatley put the lens at a disadvantage.... We fired a few shots at it with 12mm steel... and not so much as a scratch.... and yes...we did hit it! ... We twatted it with a few more shots... 14mm lead and EVENTUALLY.... a small piece cracked off.... A few more hits...and we were bored .... So..yes, these do work.... and ill keep using them.... be worth their weight in gold... should they save you a shot to the eyeball 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sheffield Catapults 71 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Nice post, I've been after a pair of those for a while. Just been too tight to fork out for any as I would probably only wear them when filming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
