BALLISTIC MASK!! New Gear!!

This video reviews the Maxilla ballistic face mask by Tardigrade Industries, highlighting its Level IIIA protection against common handgun calibers like 9mm and .45 ACP. The mask is presented as a crucial piece of gear to protect the face, which constitutes a significant portion of the head's surface area and is often left exposed even with a helmet. The review emphasizes its ease of integration with existing tactical kits, including plate carriers and ballistic helmets, and discusses its comfort and field of view.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of the Tardigrade Industries Maxilla face mask against various calibers. The mask, rated to Level IIIA, successfully stopped .22 LR, 9mm, and .45 ACP rounds with minimal damage. While not rated for .223 Remington, it also stopped this round, though it resulted in a visible dent on both sides.

This YouTube Shorts video features a IIIA rated ballistic face mask, posing the question of survival. The title highlights the ballistic protection level of the mask.

Garand Thumb, a recognized subject matter expert in tactical equipment, critically assesses the effectiveness of ballistic face masks. The video details rigorous testing using realistic ballistic dummies and various firearms, from handguns to rifles, to measure projectile stopping power and backface deformation. The conclusion highlights significant risks associated with these masks, primarily due to severe deformation, suggesting they are often 'gimmicky' and less effective than traditional head protection.

This guide details the installation of the Safe Life Defense FRAS (Flexible Rifle Armor System), a hybrid body armor solution offering enhanced flexibility and protection. The FRAS is designed to be compatible with all Safe Life Defense carriers and provides increased body coverage compared to standard rigid plates. It offers a balance between the flexibility of soft armor and the threat resistance of entry-level rifle plates.

Lenny McGill of Glock Store Performance and Custom Shop demonstrates a non-tactical ballistic backpack designed for everyday use, particularly for students. The backpack features a Level IIIA ballistic panel, which was tested and shown to effectively stop rounds with minimal deformation. It offers practical features like padded pockets, reflective accents, and multiple compartments, available in various sizes and colors.

This guide details how to create DIY 'AR Fast Mags' by coupling two AR-15 magazines using a Zyn tin as a spacer and Goon Tape for adhesion. The process involves securing the spacer between two magazines and wrapping them tightly to create a stable unit that allows for faster reloads. The video demonstrates successful insertion and function in an AR-15 lower receiver.

This guide details how to create a 'Triple Flip Mag' for an AR-15 using readily available magazines and Goon Tape. The modification allows for a rapid transition between three loaded magazines, enhancing reloading speed in tactical or competitive scenarios. The video demonstrates a practical application of this accessory, showcasing its functionality with an AR-15.

This guide details how to create a coupled AK magazine setup using Goon Tape, a technique demonstrated by MuzzleBroke. It emphasizes proper alignment and secure taping to ensure reliable function for enhanced reloading speed, particularly useful for EDC applications.

This video demonstrates the functionality of AK 'flip' magazines, debunking the myth that rounds will fall out when inverted. Using a Romanian RPK, the creator shows that coupled magazines remain secure even during rapid fire, aided by a Forced Reset Trigger (FRT). The demonstration confirms the practical application of this magazine configuration for enhanced reloading efficiency in certain scenarios.
