Dr. Airsoft, Practical Testing: Classic Army Safety Goggle

[dandan832]

Those are shooting glasses, you're not meant to be shot at with them on

0:53 made in china ?

@NJblackops

You are correct. This is a violation of any field's minimum engagement distance, but it happens. Most documented eye injuries occured at short range (Kratz A - Am J Ophthalmol - 01-JAN-2010; 149(1): 37-44). One incident occured within 4 feet at a Fort Ord game. It is documented in NAM magazine, issue 11. These injuries should never happen. Using gear that can take a close hit is the way to prevent the most common serious eye injuries

[VinceNYCRapper]

Thanks dude,every time you do this kind of videos,i feel safer and i would know what to use :D

[VinceNYCRapper]

too bad it has no ear,it cant support the goggles on the face XD

[superpeep12]

ALIIEEN

[derekpua]

hmmm well Classic Army is a Hong Kong brand, and over here our guns are limited to 2 joules, anything over that is illegal and considered a firearm.

Also, there are many sites here that enforce a lower limit... However, you are right these glasses are pretty shit..... just like a lot of Classic Army stuff =/

USE GOGGLES. I wanted to be a Navy SEAL when i got out of highschool in a year. So much for that. 2 months ago i got shot from 5 feet away with a kwa. We werent having a war, just shooting a tree, so we didnt wear goggles. My friend turned around, waved his gun and said "lets go inside". All i heard was "POP". And from that point on ive been through a bunch of crap. I went from 20/15 in my left eye to 20/100 at the best. I beg you, wear your goggles.WEAR THEM!

@DakotaLynnMartin =(

[Ficawl]

My glasses titled and i got shot in the corn of my eye...

[Kekkon3n]

Also id say that Shooting with snipers at close range is usually not recommended and some times also against the rules.

[LeeIsBoobs]

Whilst I only use high quality goggles, this is a bit OTT, especially for UK as most skirmishes are 328fps with 0.2g, so 500+ with 0.43g is ridiculous and not worth even doing. But I do realise this is USA, whats the common fps over there?

[auburnmedicalgroup]

@LeeIsBoobs

We have games allowing that speed with 0.43 gm bb's. Even with rules about engagement distances there have been point-blank hits in games at two locations in my state. This should never happen, but I want players to know what products can take this kind of energy if they choose to protect themselves from this possibility.

[JoshuaTheAirsofter23]

@LeeIsBoobs hey mate in the uk depending on your site is can be 350 fps for aeg,370 for aeg sniper/dmp

500 for bolt action/gas snipers

[SmallxTaylor]

You shot him point blank in the face! OFc it is gona break thats why airsoft players have range rules

[auburnmedicalgroup]

@SmallxTaylor

Please watch the other Dr. Aifsoft videos for products which pass the test and prove to be safer to use.

[RailocSTC]

@SmallxTaylor Accidents still happen, even when you're following the rules. I got shot in the lip at ~5 feet by a rifle when I surprised a guy who didn't have his pistol ready. I'm lucky my teeth were ok, but it could have been a lot worse.

[taofledermaus]

I just did some testing of the 3M Sporties using an 800 fps pellet gun. I hope you can use my video as response. Very impressive results from inexpensive safety glasses.

[auburnmedicalgroup]

@taofledermaus

Thanks. It looks like they would be adequate for pinking at targets in the backyard.

[TACSIM1]

You should also try the ESS ICE glasses.

[NallePu83]

Those are shooting glasses not game play glasses

[juanatcville]

u should do ur tests from a farther distance nobody is standing still in an airsoft war when ther is a gun a foot away from their face

[auburnmedicalgroup]

Most documented eye injuries occured at short range. One incident occured within 4 feet at a Fort Ord game. It is documented in NAM magazine, issue 11.

@auburnmedicalgroup tell me, who uses a gun that shoots at 550 fps? thats abnormally fast. In a realitstic situation, a gun shouldnt be firing over 400 fps. Also, your shoot at, what looks like, a foot rather than 4 feet. This is the EXTREME of everything, extreme range, extreme velocities, etc. If you insist on testing them under these conditions, i recommend doing another test with more realistic dimensions like 350-400 fps and 5-10 feet. that would be much more helpful in my opinion

[BronzeOrwin]

@auburnmedicalgroup And that's what rules and safety kills are for.

[RichyYoung]

Shooting glasses are perfectly safe, the gun you used to shoot these glasses, hits with 5 times the amount of joules a normal upgraded aeg would hit with. For instance, in order to simulate what happened, a fully upgraded VSR would have to shoot me a point blank range in the eye. id like to see results at 5 m, 10m and 20m. That said oakleys can take a shotgun blast so clearly theres better quality shooting glasses out there. Keep up the interesting work.

[krnr]

some people do uppgrade thier wepons some snipers have the FPS of 700.

[TACADD]

It looks like the Save Phace Masks would be a good alternative to the JT's as well. But those Iron Faces, and Bitter Ends look like they could fulfill the roll of great face protection.

[TACADD]

Yeah, I can see how the visibility would be an issue, probably better to just get a good pair of goggles, and they might have a separate face shield that can cover the mouth.

[auburnmedicalgroup]

I am doing testing on two products you might be interested in. The Hakkotsu Iron Face and the Bitter End lower face masks. The Hakkotsu Iron Face has already arrived, and I have played with it. It only costs about $10. I have not yet tested it or the accompanying X-Eye goggles to see if they can take a direct hit. I have found that the Hakkotsu Iron Face fits very nicely with the ESS Profile.

[GrayArcAirsoft]

This is what people need to see. They need to see this and be aware of the risk.

People with shooting glasses, or workshop/wood shop glasses...these just arn't safe.

I love these videos. I'm adding it to my list of faves. 5 stars as well

[TACADD]

Would wearing shooting glasses underneath a mesh eye protection be a good combination, or is it still dangerous?

[auburnmedicalgroup]

I would think that it would protect against eye trauma better than either one alone. I have a concern about visibility with the combination. There is a theoretical rincrease of isk of collision or falling in a hole with the mesh masks. The decreased visibility is compounded by wearing both together. I don't anticipate testing combinations of items in the near future because it is so much easier and possibly safer to wear just a single item.
