  • Proposed New British Army Helmet

    This one is getting the citizens on Arrse very exercised....

    British Army troops will soon be wearing new state-of-the-art helmets that will give them greater security on the battlefield - while looking like iconic Stormtroopers from the Star Wars films.

      At just under 1kg, that's basically expecting someone to carry out their duty wearing a modified motorcycle helmet on one's head. Hope it comes with a neck brace for those troops who are mechanised.
      For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

          You do realise it is not a modified motorcycle helmet? Motorcycle helmets aren't exactly designed to stop small hard pointy things going thru the helmet...
          Everyone who's ever loved you was wrong.

            Actually, you'll find they are.

              what helmet with decent ballistic protection weighs much less than 1Kg?
