In real life getting shot in one of these would probably induce BFD enough to crack the orbital bones or even your skull. still better then taking it in the face though !
Maybe, I didn't test it, I used the data in this video as well as commercial claims of it being NIJ IIIA equivalent. 55 grain FMJ 5.56 is certainly not something it's rated against. Mask failures, backface deformations, are all embedded in the varied GURPS dice. For example, 7.5" AR-15 would deal 3d+2 damage. That's 5(min)-12.5(avg)-20(max). So if you or enemies roll good, they can bust through the mask.

Here's the video.
