Hi all,
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is this head/face shield being worn in this photo? I've been searching all over google but can't find any info on it. It looks like a paintball mask. Just curious as to what it actually is/what it's purpose is.

It is worn when combat arms train with paint filled plastic ammunitions. They change the upper part of the c7 to fit a special magazine. The round itself is like a real obe with powder and cupper case but the bullet is replaced with a plastic shell filled with paint. I train with those in 2004 when the rounds were 9mm. I think thwy now use 5.56mm rounds and will get the 7.62mm eventually if they dont have it yet.
 
Go figure it'd be exactly what it looks like! Haha. Thanks for the quick responses guys.
