fencing mask
« on: January 09, 2004, 09:25:55 PM »
quick question.  i'm also a fencer (any airsofters that fence and want to get together for some bouts, pm me!  im seriously out of shape)  and i was wondering about using my fencing mask as part of my eye/face protection.  testing it, i discovered that at short range with my springer bb's turn into a fine mist of plastic shards when hitting it.  not good.  but at about 20 feet, the bb bounces properly.  a set of side covered shooting glasses inside to catch any spray, and it should be perfect.  theres a higher footprint from the eye than a goggle, but not much, and the added visibility and lack of fogging should make up for it.  also, you can camo paint the mesh, and not block your vision.  whadya all think?
