Covering the Face
 

We All know the chances of getting hurt I've seen people where belclava's and i want to know if there just as good as your standard paint ball mask or no thses are the three types i was looking into. http://www.armynavymilitarysurplus.c...roduct/932.jpg

SERIOUSLY DUDE. WTF are you asking? If plastic is as good as fabric?

A BB will stop on a PB mask and not stop with a balaclava. A thick balaclava will
protect you but is very hot/stuffy. I took a shot in the face while wearing a lighweight
hatch nomex 'clava and lost part of a tooth.

Now I just wear a mouthguard. Afterall, the balaclava was to protect my teeth in the first place.

no ive seen people where them but never came around to asking if there just as good. i've used paintball masks and there abit bulky through my eyes i just want somthing just as good as them, my friend said belclava's where a good option i'm simple asking for more advise before i go purches one or even think about get one that's about it.

use the search function

you still goin to feel bb's hittin yo face but it stop yo skin from breaking

A friend of mine (Chuck D*) uses Saran Wrap and says it's just as good as a paintball mask. He wraps two layers snugly around his face and seals it tightly with duct tape around his forehead and neck, so BBs can't get in under it. Don't cut any holes into it for eyes and nose the way you would for a balaclava since that will compromise the surface tension and pretty much ruin it's ability to stop BBs. Don't worry, the Saran Wrap is perfectly clear and doesn't obstruct vision.

* The D in Chuck D stands for Darwin.

LOL! That's terrible.....

I'm crying from that one.

wtf?

yea those things are going to make you uncomfortably hot, even in winter time maybe with all the moving around and running you may do in game. the one with the visor looks retarded if you ask me
you should just pick up a helmet and goggles and maybe a shemagh
getting hit in the face stings as much as getting shot in most places but not nearly as much as you would think. i know, ive had bbs hit me in the neck, cheeks, and eyebrows and it really doesnt hurt as much as i think youd expect it to. a bb to your scalp will hurt 5 times more and bring tears to your eyes. be more worried about protecting eyes and teeth than feeling pain

p.s. im talking from ranged distance experience not cqb

thats me in full gear

Jimski.... Are you seeing anyone, presently? I'd like to take you out to Burgerking sometime.... Let me know....

LMFAO!! stick with the wrap dude :P, btw u realli shouldnt worry bout pain as Dusti69 (:S) said, u should worry bout ur eyes being shot, afterall if ur fully covered and dont feel the pain, it just takes away from the experience of the game, chances are if the shots dont hurt u as much u wont try to aviod them as much (that and theres another factor.. the ppl u play with.. if ur covered up they might all corner u and keep shootin at u :P)

haha i do that too. like when they were running around with leather jackets and motocross roost deflectors on, i shot them everywhere but on their "armor". mostly in the ass. sorry bro ya shoulda wore a cup or you wouldnta got shot there either
