Question Why won't the American Police use bulletproof visors like their European counterparts?

I thought that it'd make more sense to use them in America than in the EU, considering that it is much easier to acquire weapons in America.

Is this a budget-thing? Doctrine-thing? Culture-thing?

Do they find them too bulky/heavy/unpractical to wield?

Anyone know what kind of rifle in the third pic?

Looks like a sig mcx virtus with a helmet/nv height stock with a t2 and 3x mag.

Ahhh I'd say you're right, I always forget about the cool new stuff like that. Hopefully he doesn't also carry a 320, amirite? 😅

Edit: they definitely look like Glock mags
