steakandpotato Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 So apparently SISU mouthguards are strong as sh*t and very good for milsim events when you want to keep a lower face profile. Just wondering if anyone has any experience on them and how good they are at stopping the pearly whites from getting blasted out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Druid799 Posted March 19, 2018 Supporters Share Posted March 19, 2018 They are a good make , but you can’t talk for s**t and your still going to get your lips burst like an over ripe melon if you get shot in the pie hole ! why I use a mesh lower face guard .

Supporters Tackle Posted March 19, 2018 Supporters Share Posted March 19, 2018 While I appreciate nobody wants teeth knocked out/broken etc, being a former boxer/rugby/ice hockey player I often wore a guard, but the idea of wearing one for a whole day sounds daft, you'd be gagging on it after a couple of hours, & as Druid has pointed out your lips (& lower teeth) aren't protected, get a mesh guard, lower or full face will do the job.

Supporters Gepard Posted March 20, 2018 Supporters Share Posted March 20, 2018 Do not use mouthguards for Airsoft. They are not designed to get hit by a projectile going 340+ fps. They are built for impact sports - to protect your teeth from hitting each other. If you want to protect your lower face go with a half mesh mask.

Fumps Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I have a sisu mouth guard. As an ex boxer I wouldn't recommend it for Airsoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost my fitted one for a game and had to play with a boil n bite one and my i couldn't breath, speak or even keep it in my mouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Tackle Posted March 20, 2018 Supporters Share Posted March 20, 2018 I'm sure your right, I'm an old git so back when I was a serious athlete we didn't have much to choose from, lol I can still "taste" mine now, not pleasant . that said, in airsoft, teeth shot out is rare, I've prob only seen it twice in 16yrs of playing, got to be better to protect the whole moosh, otherwise what next, pads for every joint & exposed area, we'll all look like juggernauts or robocop ?.

steakandpotato Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Damn it. I really thought I was onto something here. I literally care 0% about getting a BB stuck in my cheek or nose (I'm aware it'll hurt like a c*nt) but losing a teeth is something I'm staying VERY far away from. Maybe one day there'll be a strong enough mouthguard or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Tackle Posted March 20, 2018 Supporters Share Posted March 20, 2018 How bout a bb going THROUGH your cheek & rattling around in your mouth ? im not kidding, some scumbag snuck a 650fps sniper in to ft Amherst, which is a small site, & went through a guys cheek .

What a c*nt. Hope they banned him. Stuff like that should become a punishable offense by law. Technically, that is a firearm and in the eyes of the law, no different to a genuine gun.

Supporters Tackle Posted March 20, 2018 Supporters Share Posted March 20, 2018 It was about 15yrs ago, the guy running site was a bit of a mong, player deffo got banned but it was played down as the adverse publicity would have caused the moody landowners to close the site to airsoft (which they did a few years later). but yeah, even with the legal issues, what a Cnut sneaking it on, the fact he hadn't chrono'd it tells you he knew what he was doing, thank f()ck it didn't take his eye.

steakandpotato Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 People like that genuinely need to have some further repercussion other than just a ban from one site. Yes, I understand that eventually you would run out of (at least) local sites, but still. No real repercussions. Also - at any of the sites I've played at, I could very easily have faked 'me'. No ID is ever required, all I need to do is write down some details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
