There's one observation I'd make about face masks from my own experience last weekend at the Mall: I'd use one of those mesh masks before at the Mall (when the FPS limit was 400 fps) and using my AK105 (with a scout mounted T-1 Micro dot sight) I was able to aim properly: but last weekend, using my CQB M4 (with M2 red dot) I found it impossible to get a good enough cheek weld to aim properly and ended up holding the gun funny and adjusting my aim by following the BBs. I ended up ditching the face mask after the second round.
IMO the inability to properly use sights/optics creates a much more dangerous condition than the risk of face shots. Overall I'd say it may even be preferable to just wear a mouth guard and no mask as the risk of a face shot will make people think twice about what they're doing (a bit of a hockey argument, i.e. more protective gear is leading to more violent hits).
