Taiwan has just inaugurated a somewhat disturbing costume for its special forces. Yes, it is true that the soldier there is reasonably protected from anything that is not capable of exterminating human life within a few kilometers. However, what stands out most is the new ballistic mask. Or, more precisely, the effect on someone outside such a mask.

After all, bumping into what seems like an effective marching out of someone's nightmares, it is likely - as the RocketNews24 website put it - that the enemy simply throws himself into a fetal position, calling desperately for his mother. Should he decide to fire, however, the mask there is designed to withstand even a .44 Magnum shot.

It is worth noting, however, that unlike a bulletproof vest, the mask divides the pressure exerted by the bullet over a relatively small area. Turning to kids, that means that most likely the surviving guy's face will end up very similar to Slot from the movie "The Goonies."

As the website also recalled, the United States has even used bulletproof masks, particularly during operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, these were small teams, so one can imagine the effect of a whole detachment of shadowy Boba Fett clones marching heavily through the streets.
