Losing teeth?

Airsoft safety discussion. Post here with questions about laws and safety concerns.

I guess I'm just one lucky SOB. My teeth have been shot on at least 2 separate occasions with no effect. One of those times was within 65ft. I've been lucky so far but I'd prefer not to be shot in the teeth rather than continue to be lucky.

Custom mouth guards is the way to go. http://www.customguards.com/ I love mine and no longer worry about getting shot in the mouth. Well worth the money.

Don't sweat much, do you? Anything fogs on me if the lenses are solid.

Some of the older gas masks are total crap. I have a relatively new one, absolutely no fogging because of the way that the air intakes and one way valves work.

Like I said earlier, I've worn all types of gas masks. Some just take longer to fog than others. Eventually, my skin gets hot and moist enough that the lenses get dewy, then fog.
