Face Protection

So I have a G&G m4 cqb s with a tactical scope mount (scope riser) and a 1-4x scope and my paintball mask cheek protector gets in the way of looking down the scope.

my question is this:

If I were to remove the cheek protection (cutting or otherwise) would I still be able to use it in games

As long as you do not touch the actual goggles you should be fine

I've actually gamed with a guy recently who's done that. He simply just cut the right side off so he can cheek his gun.

Awesome thanks guys, it's an $90 mask so I didn't want to mod it until I knew.

Most of the places I've played don't even care if you have face protection, just eye pro. Unless it's a serious CQB environment. I know lots of people who run with just gogles, or some use mouth guards to protect their teeth.

Either way, I cut my paintball mask so the part that protects my face kindof looks like a skull. I like it.

That's what I'm planning to do, I've been playing paintball for 8 years and due to the cost and having a giant grapefruit hang off my gun I've switched to airsoft, I didn't know if airsoft's face protection was as strict as paintball so now I can mod my mask thanks to everyone's input.

An even better thing to do would get a separate pair of goggles and some face mesh.

However if you don't feel like spending money of a good pair of Smith Optics or ESS eye pro and a $15 face mesh, then what was mentioned above is valid.

Personally I just run a mouth guard and my SO OTWs. "Some people call me a wild man..."

There are prescription inserts for a lot of goggles and shooting glasses. The inserts mount behind the actual polycarb lens.

Revision makes an insert to fit into their goggles. You send them your latest prescription and they ship it to you.
