Ballistic visors with an NIJ 3A rating are used in a wide range of settings, predominantly by military personnel, SWAT teams, bomb disposal units, and private security professionals who work in high-risk areas. Their use extends beyond ballistic protection to scenarios involving blunt force trauma from riots, where officers may face not only bullets but also rocks, batons, and other potentially dangerous objects.

For military applications, the visor is particularly valuable for protecting soldiers in situations where they might be exposed to sniper fire, ambushes, or active shooter threats. It is equally vital for law enforcement officers handling hostage situations, gang violence, or drug raids where handguns are commonly used. Additionally, security forces working in riot control or protests may wear ballistic visors to shield against rubber bullets, tear gas canisters, and other projectiles.
