SESTAN-BUSCH VISOR VB2 Βαλλιστική Προσωπίδα

The Sestan-Busch Visor VB2 is a high-performance ballistic face shield manufactured by the renowned Croatian protective equipment company Sestan-Busch (often in collaboration with specialized optical armor firms like Veplas). It is engineered specifically for military, counter-terrorism, law enforcement arrest teams, and special police units to provide heavy-duty facial protection against high-velocity fragments, blunt impacts, and direct ballistic threats.

Core Specifications & Protection

The “VB2” designation refers to the specific geometry and radius of the visor, meticulously engineered to seal tightly against the curves of modern tactical helmets (such as the ACH/MICH or high-cut ballistic helmets).

• Ballistic Rating: Built to satisfy NIJ Level IIIA requirements. This means it is certified to reliably stop standard pistol calibers, specifically up to .357 SIG FMJ FN and .44 Magnum SJHP rounds, alongside standard 9mm threats.

• Fragmentation Resistance: Complies with strict military standards (STANAG 2920). Depending on the exact variant’s thickness (typically ranging from 19.5 mm to 21.5 mm), its $V_{50}$ fragmentation rating—the velocity at which a fragment has a 50% chance of penetrating—ranges from 725 m/s to 825 m/s.

• Advanced Material Layout: Constructed from a high-performance layered matrix of transparent PMMA (Polymethacrylate) and Polycarbonate (PC) bound by a highly specialized structural interlayer.
