This video tests the ballistic resistance of a "bulletproof" face mask against various calibers, from .22 LR up to .450 Bushmaster and 12-gauge buckshot. While the mask prevents penetration, the testing reveals significant blunt force trauma and backface deformation, especially with higher-powered rounds, indicating potential for fatal injury despite stopping the projectile. The content is presented by a firearms enthusiast, demonstrating knowledge of calibers and safe range practices.
