not too bad, I made some clay masks one time, it didn't mess it up too bad, and it was a lot thicker than those masks.
hoorahforsnakes
really, cus all i can think is that taiwan may be led by a supervillain
RelevantForOnce
It's funny that you imagine this through the eyes, so to speak, of the guy under the mask, instead of imagining being attacked by those guys

Well, this isn't something out of a cliched dystopian story at all.

Intimidation to deter is 100% why they do this.

Except this is the military, and these guys are the Navy Seals/Green Berets of Taiwan.
dogsi
lol, yeah, "navy seals"...
StrawberryPrincess92
oh good, I was a little worried.
Flyndaran
But with proper training they won't freak out and gun down children holding Skittles, or pellet guns... at least not unintentionally.
solkahn
Well they are soldiers, meant to fight enemies of the state. Making them friendly looking is counter productive.
ForgetItJakeItsChinatown
And how are "enemies of the state" declared? Isn't Edward Snowden technically an enemy of the U.S.? What does that say about our military.
RCSlyman
It says nothing about the military, since they weren't the ones that declared him an enemy of the State.
ForgetItJakeItsChinatown
Touche, but my point is military power is often misused and oppressive, especially when it grows in size. Like the US's has.
Wankley
Yeah man we Americans have it bad, with the military dictatorship we live in.
ScramblesTD
Granted, I'll bet you any amount of money that they don't wear this gear in actual combat situations. It's great for intimidation though.
Harkoan
Clearly, you don't know the people in charge of Taiwan. For example, their incumbent president faked getting shot to get sympathy votes
IMadeAnAccountJustToWriteThis
Most of what the US military does involves talking to civilians. They are specifically trained to be LESS deadly.
solkahn
A standing military isn't always fighting (thank god) so they do interact with and train allies. But at the end of the day, the job is clear

IMadeAnAccountJustToWriteThis
Point was that you can't just say "oh its the military they don't need to be friendly
solkahn
Our policies in the military is probably pretty different from Taiwans, but I'm picking up what your putting down.
whitter86
Well maybe in a perfect world that's how military would work but some are not run that way are they? Some are there for suppreson.
climber42
Its bad when the good guys start to look like bad guys
ATSword
Appearances can be deceiving. *shrug* Is it good when the bad guys look like good guys? Seems like we just want things to stay obvious.

Looks like something from Army of Two.

You mean the Army of Tao

I was thinking escape plan.

HermitSweater
It would be kinda cool if they let them paint them
Azated
I think the point is that they're all uniformly terrifying. Letting people paint them adds individuality instead of apparent cohesion.

Without badass flames on the masks.

they do! i dont know why but army of 2 is one of my fav games to kill an hour or two with

i put on a pot of pasta and started playing while i waited. i came back to very very dry and salty pasta. about 2 tablespoons of water left.

Ikr for having such an Arcadish game style it's an awesome game

We wear our masks so the shadow man inside can go to battle, and leave our self intact.

I think we can all agree that the masks were a good idea, but they could've been done better.

I guess Black Mask is in charge of Taiwan now...

I want a Mos burger

I was hoping I wasn't alone on the love of Mos Burger!

I too was craving Mos Burger after seeing the sign
PedanticYetEarnest
I was wondering if anyone else was gonna mention Mos. So delicious.
Kaislikethewind
I had Mos Burger in Japan summer of 2005. Now I want one so bad. Damn you for pointing out the sign, I missed it the first time round.

The have zero peripheral vision in those masks. You just have to attack them from the side.
hijack122
The masks do serve a purpose. The are ballistic masks so they stop bullets, fragmentation, etc.
KyleBeach
yea but these guys are special ops, typically meaning they will be sent in, middle of the night on unsuspecting targets. If these guys do th

So... anyone wanna invade Taiwan with me? I have a LOTR replica sword and went in a gym once, so I'm basically a killing machine.

Your credentials check out. I'mma fast track you into a General's position in my army.

I have people like this at my school, this kid thinks he's a master swordsman XD

I believe your sarcasm sensor requires an update

He legitimately believes it. He practices the samurai technique adapted to a long sword and "does 3,000 thrusts 200 slashes and 50 1/2

+1 for blacking out the eyes
skelitor120
Those masks are made from harder material than is in bulletproof vests. Its meant to stop the penetration of most bullets, up to magnums.
BeardedBum
No. Just no. If the material was harder, they would use it in vests too. Also. Do you know if it is ceramic or metal?
eldorel
It's usually a metal+ceramic layered composite. And it is harder than the vest plates. Vest plates are designed to deform, not deflect.
BeardedBum
I'm not convinced the deformation is design/feature. Its just what happens when they try to absorb the energy.
BeardedBum
But metal and ceramic plates are often used in military/special vests and that was what i was talking about. Not the softer, lighter ones.
skelitor120
The reason we dont use it in bulletproof vests, is the movability. IF we used it in vests, you wouldnt be able to breath or stretch.
BeardedBum
Are you talking about soft vests?
skelitor120
Masks are made to protect from fatal headshot wounds, vests are made to balance protection with maneuverability.
skelitor120
No, im talking about any vest. The mask is 100% rigid, and vests are usually moveable materials with plates over it. (1/2)
BeardedBum
And those plates are not weaker than the material in that mask. The masks are about the same as helmets. Plates are stronger.
AnotherExhaustedMillenial
But what if you get shot in the eye?
TheEvilDrF
shoot back aiming with the other one. quickly for a preference.
Featureddaman
More like what if they are behind you with the gun?

Then you become deathstroke.
terribleinternetpunsfirstborn
More or less the same as getting shot in the eye without a mask on. Pictures end up all over the internet and your parents throw you out

I don't think you are following this the right way....

SergIsSuchHumbleSoAlwaysMuchBeautiful
Thank god I wear glasses
MtDew
That's a risk we were willing to take.
LuckyTrouble
You die.
chickenwingking
They're asian so the eyes are a smaller target, so less chance of getting shot at. (PS I'm asian)
DetectiveJohnKimball
downvoting not for perceived racism, but for an unfunny joke
chickenwingking
Well, I tried.
DetectiveJohnKimball
i'll give u an upvote here anyway to even it out :D

Thanks, I should just go back to becoming a doctor.

You make a Deathstroke mask.

We may not have any peripheral vision but we will scare the shit out of you

No wonder Storm troopers can't hit anything.

This is some serious Army of Two type shit here.

Seems like they'd learn to compensate for that during NVG training anyway.

Show me one thing that doesn't yell "style" in this picture, I mean.. Purple smoke???
DuneMafia
They were disbanded.
Wesugi
I'm not scared if they really use SA80's. Those are just terrible guns...
quintusfontane
Well, they WERE until H&K fixed them for us. Then we had to redesign our marksmanship evaluations because they were so accurate.
Volcanuz
Range bump or grouping change?
quintusfontane
Couldn't tell you the specifics about the changes to grouping, but there was also a huge overall reliability fix, too.
Wesugi
well if thats the case: I haven't said anything :)

We'll they didn't have any peripheral vision to begin with, so no loss there.

What if you shoot them in the nose? Will it ricochet into their eye?

Probably a small chance but what if you shot him in the nose in a regular mask, instaded
WhatStinks
Also the MAC-10s SMGs they are carrying have horrific accuracy; couldn't even hit the broadside of a barn if you wanted to.
BendOverHereItComesAgain
For clearing rooms and other close range urban combat situations that weapon can actually be quite effective.
MichaelAmerino
Those aren't MAC-10s

MAC-10s in the first photo, I believe. Different weapons in the others.

I think it is MP-5 on second picture
