Am I a representative of UVEX? No. UVEX is the company that is making the claim that their product is a "safety/ballistic eyewear" and earning dollars off that claim.

In fact, Oakley, ESS, UVEX, WileyX etc. have their glasses benchmarked by the US Army under the MCEP and to be listed under the APEL. In order to qualify on the APEL, the glasses in fact had to be shot at with a 0.15 calibre, 5.85g pellet at 640-660 FPS at a minimum so as to considered as appropriate ballistic protection.

But have I shot a piece of 1mm polycarbonate with a 400FPS gun? Yes. What people can infer from that (and there is a lot that you can infer) is up to common sense and persona risk-reward matrix.
