You very rarely see depictions of soldiers wearing bullet resistant face masks. I understand that these only protect from small caliber weapons but wouldn’t you take all the protection you could get?

You could argue the same about any type of PPE in most industries. Why isn’t everyone wearing steel toed boots, hard hats, cut & heat resistant gloves, reflective Nomex, fall restraints, splash resistant goggles etc… all the time? Because they are annoying and if the risk isn’t worth the inconvenience, people would rather not wear them.
Heck, even when there is a legitimate risk people still refuse to wear PPE unless it’s forced upon them. Kind of like when seat belts first became mandated and everyone lost their minds…
