This armored mask featured very small eye slits, a cut away to get a cheek weld on a rifle, and a bend at the bottom to prevent spalling from striking it’s wearer.

    So what does it do? Like old school safety glasses?

      I asume that it’s there to prevent them taking bullets to the noggin… or rather to reduce the damage. Bet it would ring like a damn bell, but thats better than the alternative.

        Yeah I was wondering what it’d feel like to get shot in the head wearing this thing. Skipping off the top, which is probably best case scenario, maybe not so bad. But a direct hit would be like…having a giant jab you really hard in the face with all their strength by a hot, dull stick. Would the indentation left (assuming the bullet doesn’t pierce) actually travel right through the head like the bullet would, but only as far as the limit of the metal/length of indentation on the helmet itself? Like, just make the bullet duller and the entrance wound be all? Or would it knock the person out?
