I had some extra bucks now and I was wondering if a Lexan (polycarbonate) face shield like this could help me against rubber bullets. The ones that cops here use are Fioacci 8mm rubber bullets that travel at 220m/s or around 497 mph. The lexan faceshield is 1mm thick and it has the EN166 norm. Also does a common hard hat protect you from rubber bullets too?
I was thinking of the faceshield as more of an added protection, since I already have ballistic goggles (NVG Profile) and a gas mask. But I thought that those things, combined with a shield and a faceshield, could help you against threats like rubber bullets and tear gas.
definitely
