1988 Press Photo Bulletproof face visor shot with three bullets New Berlin

Three Bullets were fired at the mask from seven feet away, but none of them penetrated the shield. New Berlin may become one of the first departments in the nation to purchase a newly developed bulletproof face visor that stops bullets from nearly all size of pistols. The visor, developed by a European company, was tested by the department several days ago and stopped bullets fired from several types of pistols, including a .44-caliber Magnum.
