Thanks, some really nice stuff, really.
So they're more issued to JSA/DMZ guards...
Any idea when they'll start making appearances in the conventional infantry?
The helmets? Some units have it, some don't.
How to get your unit to bayonet charge the enemy: Launch chocopie behind the enemy.
What's payload?
Did they get any Tech transfer from the Vodkas
Will it enable ROK to kickstart a domestic space industry.
Seems like whoever's issued those new helmets depends on how hard the CO works to get them supplied to them.
Chocopie + Cold Mastar = Powerup.
Heat + Mastar = absolutely disgusting.
Of course we know about Mastar's other secret.
That and the occasional drink we get that we've never heard of. 3rd party stuff.
No designation/name for the helmets?
the army ordered 24,000 from DSM Dyneema bout a year ago...
To obtain the optimum combination of fragment-stopping performance and light weight, the Republic of Korea has selected protective helmets, which feature DyneemaŽ HB26 material, for its army. The 24,000 helmets, manufactured by Samyang Comtech in Seoul, offer up to 20% weight savings compared to conventional aramid helmets, together with a higher ballistics performance when using the v50 test.
This significant program is a volume milestone for Dyneema HB26 in a helmet application and demonstrates the acceptance of the material, based on its excellent fitness for use in helmets. To support growing demand for its ballistics protection materials, as evidenced by the South Korean Army’s large order, DSM Dyneema is on plan to significantly boost capacity for Dyneema UD (unidirectional) composites used in life protection. Additional capacity in both yarn and UD (unidirectional) material has been brought on stream at its Greenville, North Carolina, facility. DSM Dyneema is on target to double global capacity for UD in 2009, as part of a $450 million investment announced earlier.
yeah... I hoped they would replace the nylon M-1s.
As an afterthought, aren't the British PARA helmets made of ballistic nylon as well?
Actually this would be the unofficial MREs.
Chocopie is heroin.
Well there are other official combat rations. I heard there's a new one, I've seen the photos but I have to call it the Jesus ration. Everyone's heard of it but no one's seen it.
This was my field combat ration:
