Eye Protection. Saftey Glasses instead of Paintball Goggles.

If you are looking to wear safety glasses/ballistic glasses, I recommend you try them out first.. like i did!!

I got a cheapo pair of saftey glasses that hydro issues all of its linemen (i got a few pair when I was working out on the lines..) They are stamped PI Z87 and CSA Z94.3 from a company called SEI in Taiwan. Now, I know a few people on these forums will tell you they don't work, infact the lady who helps run Wasaga beach paintball told me that they are unsafe and even a paintball gun could EASILY shatter the lense in these puppy's and that they had tried this before. I refused to believe that garbage.. So without further wait: a few videos and pics maybe?

So.. without posting every single video I took (lots!! as you can tell by all the marks on the lens that shot full auto 400fps AEG fire @ pointblank from my ak47...) I am just gonna show a couple demonstrating the "heavier" firepower that I used. being bored by how useless .2g ksc ammo was out of the AK on the glasses, I decided to break out my pellet rifle. This thing is old but she shoots really mean. On the chrono it puts out around 750fps and at 65 feet, it blew a hole CLEAN through a 7up can while it was still full of liquid. Regardless, I figured this could do some damage to the glasses.

Turns out I couldn't.. Shot the lens, shot the frame.. nothing. Anyways, heres a couple short short videos if you wanna watch:
