    Default US Navy helmets. This looks odd

    This looks like a 'Fritz' with no bulges. Or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

    I think he is giving some instructions. It's a big caliber if you see the links lying on the board.

    Okay, just for the record, when I said "this looks odd" I meant the helmet.

    guy in the rear is wearing the newer style navy ONLY issue kpot, and kevlar vest.. the gunner is wearing the older (80's) issue helmet and flak vest.

    the gun is 20mm.

    It's NOT a version of the K-pot or the MICH / ACH / TBH. The green helmet in the picture is the new issue Navy Mk. Gunners helmet. The suspension is that of a hard hat. You can see the crank at the nape of his neck.

    I hadn't noticed the size adjusting knob before. Very interesting. Is it a ballistic helmet, or just an impact helmet like a hard hat?

    It may just be a Marine Corps thing, but we usually shoot at targets...

    Yes it's a ballistic helmet. About the same thickness as a standard Kevlar helmet.

    Uncomfortable as HELL. trange sliding chin strap as well.
