Face protection gear from Adapt Armor, NovaSteel Mandible Gen 2 is put to the test in this video... "The NovaSteel Flip Ballistic Mandible, Gen 2 is a flip-up facial protection module designed to add practical ballistic coverage at a light weight, and without the scratching, fogging, and optical distortion of transparent visors. It uses a sealed hinge for quiet, one-handed, free-stop positioning at any angle, and mounts to an integrated point on the dedicated Combat Circlet Gen 2 without consuming rail space.

In this video, we hit the Gen 2 Flip Mandible with two shots of .357 Magnum FMS (PPU), which is a very tough test for any helmet, and six shots of 9mm 124gr. FMJ to show multi-hit behavior and what real impacts look like on a close-fitting, low-profile mandible design.

No other system for facial protection offers this combination of light weight, close-to-face profile, flip-up practicality, durability, low backface deformation, and multi-hit performance."
