  • Kevlar helmets offer little to no blast wave protection. Metal helmets reflect the blast waves so in that respect metal helmets are more effective.

  • @TheRealTaco87

    Metal Helmets are not.

    Metal is a to weak material for the blast of an impact or an Bullet.

    Metall helmets have been used,bevore kevlar helmets where issued because of an better impact protections.

    METAL HELMETS ARENT MADE TO COVER A SOLDIER FROM A BULLET OR FRAGMENTS JUST FROM DOWNCOMEING STONES AND OTHER SMALLER IMPACTS WITH AND IMPACT ENERGY OF LESS THAN 50JOULE

    AND M16 Round Has About more than 1600Joule.

  • @ELBadBoi we been hyperteticle btw...

  • what will happen if a soldier gets caught up in ambush and drops hes helmet and enemies get ahold of the helmet...?

  • , it is not too weak, it is too heavy, make the steel as thick as the kevlar and temper it properly it will withstand alot more than the kevlar helmet. The old steel helmets were made from rather thin sheet metal that was actually designed not from just stones, but from fragments caused by rounds being fired at them. Modern kevlar helmets are designed to do the same thing, they are not designed to take a direct impact from a bullet as even if it does not penetrate , you will be dead.

  • Holy shit, one more thing to do in country. I wonder if it'll record the impact of me smashing my ACH against various objects as I'm waiting in line for three hours for the download that only lasts "seconds". I can see an entire FOB waiting on line at 2359 on the last day of the month trying to meet this requirement. And holy shit, what are we to do in February? This will be a bullet statement on someone's OER.

  • @TheRealTaco87 MY HELMET IS VERY BULBOUS AND ONCE ITS INSIDE THEM IT MAKES THEIR FACES GO RED

  • Ops-core has better helmets than both MICH and PASGT.

  • in the future the helmets will plug directly into you brainstem and will transfer data back and forth between command and the ground so if they want they'll be able to move you with a joystick =Dq

  • @TheRealTaco87 no metal helmets arent, there hevier, and are less effective in stopping bullets, id rether be protected from bullets than some stupid shockwave.

  • wtf is the sensor supposed to do?
