It should....

Well what's the lens material? We can't just know that it's okay from a picture. Seriously.

If it's polycarbonate lenses then it's perfect, most safety glasses are polycarbonate

Mr. G36! · September 12th, 2007, 22:04

Shoot them.

Drake · September 12th, 2007, 22:05

I'd worry about how much side coverage they provide.

Otherwise, what are the lenses rated for?

Just because they are safety glasses doesn't mean they are impact resistant enough for airsoft. Perfect example is those safety goggles you buy in Home Depot. I'v shot one to test them, BB cracked it and went through.

I never said If it's Safety glasses then its perfect. I said if it's POLYCARBONATE material. THEN it's perfect. Gosh, please, read.

no

ThunderCactus · September 12th, 2007, 23:55

if they are safety glasses, they should have Z78.1 on them somewhere, and of course, shoot them before you use them

[Lithium] · September 13th, 2007, 00:10

even if theyre have appropriate rating, you sure you would want to use something that little side protection?

sry i took so long to reply. I havent been to the station in a bit so i didnt get the chance to ask them but i do know they are certfied for use with emergency services mine are similer but they do have side protection it meets csa standards so it should work but we dont really use them for much more then keepin shit from gettin in ur eyes durin forest fires well i got like three pairs i think i will take mr g36's advice

FOX_111 · September 23rd, 2007, 19:26

I would not use them. They don't have enough side covera and they don't go up and down enough.

If you get shot from high or low angle, the BB could bounce on your cheek, rebound inside your glasses and impact your eyes. Not to mention, if they move a little, they won't cover your eyes anymore.

Bowers · September 23rd, 2007, 19:27

yeah also i kinda stepped on one of my pairs this mornin so if my foot can break em im not trustin a bb i got some old paintball masks in my closet anyways i think now ill jus shoot those to test lol

Regan.S · September 24th, 2007, 00:06

Shoot them. If they crack buy better ones.

Bowers · September 24th, 2007, 00:20

well not sure how reliable it is but i gave it a pop with my lil crappy tire crosman stinger p30 (clearsoft FTW lol) and well it bounced back and pinged me in the neck (i was about ten feet away) the goggles dont even have a bump im gonna have to retest it obviously when i get a real gun i got tons of time before i need eye protection anyways
