This video features Granger Smith of Yee Yee Life testing a 'bulletproof' Chinese face mask against various firearms, from .22 LR to .450 Bushmaster. The mask, made of Aramid/Composite with elastic straps, demonstrated impressive resistance, stopping rounds from handguns and rifles. While it prevented penetration, significant backface deformation was observed, especially with higher calibers like the .44 Magnum and .450 Bushmaster, indicating it's not truly bulletproof against all threats but offers some level of protection.

Quick Summary

The Chinese 'bulletproof' face mask, made of Aramid/Composite, was tested against calibers from .22 LR to .450 Bushmaster. It stopped handgun rounds but showed significant internal deformation with .44 Magnum and .450 Bushmaster impacts, highlighting limitations against high-powered rifle threats.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials is the 'bulletproof' Chinese face mask made of?

The Chinese 'bulletproof' face mask is constructed from Aramid/Composite materials. It features elastic straps with buckles for retention, designed to hold it securely in place during wear and impact testing.

How did the Chinese face mask perform against different firearm calibers?

The mask showed resistance against .22 LR, .380 ACP, and 9mm rounds, preventing penetration. However, higher calibers like .44 Magnum and .450 Bushmaster caused significant internal deformation and cratering, though the bullet was contained within the mask layers.

What are the limitations of the 'bulletproof' Chinese face mask based on the test?

While the mask prevented direct penetration from the tested rounds, it exhibited substantial backface deformation, especially with powerful calibers. This indicates it is not truly bulletproof against all threats and should not be relied upon as primary ballistic protection.

What firearms were used in the ballistic test of the Chinese face mask?

The test utilized a 1911-style pistol, a scoped rimfire rifle for .22 LR, a Ruger Super Redhawk revolver for .44 Magnum, and a scoped bolt-action rifle, likely a Ruger American, for the .450 Bushmaster rounds.
