BBs are hard and brittle objects. they transfer energy through a tiny area of contact which PB goggles are not designed to take. this is why PB goggles can crack and even shatter when hit by a BB. it's unfortunate that PB fields require airsofters to use PB goggles. we should be using full sealing ballistic goggle with an ANSI Z87.1+ or better rating.this will only happer after someone gets hurt when their PB goggles fail and they loose an eye.

I was surprised when i was told i couldn't use my ANSI Z78.1 sealed goggels at flagraiders, i had to rent a pair of JT goggles that smelled like balls... >.<
