This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Fair point, even with guns there's spall that can get you if the bullets hit something hard, but the fact that we don't use this kind of design kinda highlights that it's not worth the trade off of visibility vs protection.
