HSD Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 These look like the East German military helmets. At least it will be better than rolling around with no protection. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HSD Posted February 18, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 Looks good enough, the chin strap might not be suited to those with large beards though. A ridge on the front would help with head butting opponents in cqb. Someone should distribute these in the West in a few different colors. Might have to get myself one…. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
