Can anyone point me to posts on eye protection equipment for the army. Are goggles, sunglasses, or something standard-issue?

believe it or not this is the kind of design i've been having in my mind since quite long i.e. AR+AK mixture, with AR bolt face and overall AK-like bolt carrier structure,
seeing someone finally making it gives me lots of joy (and a bit of sadness too that i//we couldn't do it here due to 'reasons')
albeit the gas system on this one hhmm looks interesting to me for now, i think it's short stroke (tappet like system, i.e. without spring) but couldn't see anything like a 'stop' on that piston so *could* be long stroke too ? but in video that bloke mentioned that he didn't feel like a heavy mass moving forward when it's fired i.e. signature thing of long stroke gas piston system so most likely it is a short stroke gas piston system,
and the gas tube doubling as charging handle idea is also neat,
so full thumbs up :thumbsup: from my side, let's see how it could fare in this highly competitive market...

p.s. someone from our side in defense field, Tonbo or Armasen or (hate to say it but still) SSSD, try to do a JV with these guys if possible...

however i don't like the way buttstock is used on this one,i mean Cz-805 pattern design where upper receiver parts are held in place by a verticle section of buttstock, this thing necessiates extra part for keeping everything together when someone doesn't desire a buttstock on it (in some cases we see here, you know)...but let's say still manageable at least it's not a gizmo like thing that we may see with many current gen rifles.

Which year is this pic from, cause Maj Jacob had retired in 2017 and was in 11 PARA SF at that time. And as far as I think the above pic is of 9 PARA SF
2015 probably
Indonasian Kopassus with 9 para sf . They have exchanged weapon Kopassus are with uzi pro and para are with p90.

In above picture 9 th para with Kopassus gear

PARA SF operators with their old PASGT helmets & P90s borrowed from some other unit.

The Para SF operators in the Nagrota encounter also had eye protection
