and on that face shield, it is not safely rated for airsoft.
It's rated Z87.1, which is a common rating for face shield, and let me tell you it doesn't stop shit, nor is it rated to. As far as I know it just means it's a lens that stops dust and debris to no specific joule rating.

"The current edition of the standard is Z87.1-2010. In the standard, eye protectors are either non-impact or impact rated devices. Impact rated protectors must meet the established high mass and high velocity tests, and defined, continuous lateral coverage. The following “high” impact tests apply to lenses, as well as to the frames or product housing:"

The "+" sign indicates the lens is impact rated.
Z87.1 NOT SAFE
Z87.1+ SAFE
