My neighbor is a current SWAT sniper and another good friend is former SWAT. I asked them, "Why do you cover your faces?" The answer: "Intimidation, pure and simple."
I guess that makes sense, but personally, if some dude approached me with his face covered, I'd be prone to shoot. My friends had a response for that, too. They said, "You wouldn't have time. We'd be coming at you too fast. That's all part of it...intimidation and move quickly."
