Cool. That is your forum right? If so, its looking good.

It looks kinda goofy but hey, as long as it gets the job done. Id walk around in clown shoes if it made me safer. Just wondering, how well can you hear out of that thing?

Russian equipment has always looked odd by western standards. It usually is simple and functional though.

OT, do they issue socks yet?

Looks cozy warm in there. Looks like a helo pilot's helmet but for infantry!

We haven't tested different calibers for safety reasons

While wearing it on your head? Can you say Darwin Award candidate? Also why would you destroy a very rare piece like this?

very nice... doesnt look as simple as other helmets, but with the way its designed, it seems that it can adjust to all head sizes, which is alway snice, but... i do wonder, how does it hold up to various rounds hitting it? anyone have pictures or info?

This looks like a shot from a thriller -

May be that's how Screamers were supposed to look. After all the basis for the book was written about the war in Europe.


The spheres always looked goofy to me, until I saw Spaceballs.

Cool, a helmet that fits like a glove!
