Air rifle .22 caliber bullet test 2mm polycarbonate Ansi-Z87.1 safety and other type tests on sunglasses with strong lenses and not so strong

My doctor says it is strong because the material is soft and absorbs the energy of the impact instead of shattering

It's hammer time !

Nice try man, but that is Edge eyewear, not Spy sunglasses. 2 completely different companies.

You posted 3 videos of a completely different product and made it seem like it was the product you were talking about when you first brought it up. Everyone knows you went somewhere else on the web and dug that up. We can see the other companies logo numerous times throughout the whole video. Who in the hell do you think you're fooling? Definitely not me! :nono:

LFAK knows least .....and gives too much FLAK....on KF

Now here taken from Spy Optics website:

Our shades ANSI Z87.1 are certified for lens retention and high impact resistance.That means if something hits you in the face (or if your face hits something),the lenses will resist ejecting,
they won't shatter, and the frame won't break. One test these badass optics endured is a 1/4 inch metal ball blasted at them at more than 100 mph.
The other a 1.1 lb pointed projectile dropped on them from more than 4 feet up.

And we both knows that shatterproof lenses are like the 11 herbs and spices -- there's only one company that knows the secret! :lol:

So where's the part about the rifle bullet not being able to penetrate? Did they forget to put that in there? Or have you been feeding us horse manure this whole time with those fake videos? :rollgrin:

From the moment you opened your mouth and told me those glasses were bulletproof I already knew it was a bunch of crap. But you made that fake story up to try to prove me wrong, and it backfired. :nono:

From this moment forward, i'm going to pretend like I didn't hear any of this. This is so stupid that I don't want to even think about it. Now get out of this thread before you make yourself look any worse than you already do.
