Ermm....what?
A FAST helmet really doesn't make that much difference to the size of your head. What are you concerned about?

Things I wish that I'd of known....
1)How useless mesh masks are. they may protect your teeth but restrict you from looking down the sights as you would normally which really ruins the day for me (no longer use anything, looking into dust masks but I reckon those may also be a hindrance).
2)how serious some people take it and also how big it is, like full on international mil sims lasting a few days/week.
3)Avon skin so soft face cream. Anyone who plays in woods will understand.
4)which shops to give a wide berth and which sites offer the best gameplay for your money and location.
5)most importantly, especially for new players - talk to as many people as you want, have fun, go solo and sniper, follow a highly regarded team and learn/tag along, try anything you wish, don't feel you have to conform to the rest as they're not always the best.

I learnt yesterday that people with LMG's will not follow the sites 1 second burst rule in anyway shape of form.

How true is that :/
Related learning point: if someone is new to sniping with a high fps set up they likely won't know what 30 metres is for their minimum engagement distance. Expect some very painful hits from very close ranges.
Learnt this from experience when a young lad (~13 years old) shot me in the head from 10 metres away. After I stopped cursing a marshal was informed and the lad had to ditch his rifle when he couldn't prove that he knew what 30 metres was. He was disappointed but the safety rules are there for a reason.

Use a riser mount for your scope, dont get any issues with using a mesh mask then and you dont end giving the dentist £500.

Hahaha
I don't know the team name or individuals but it got so bad that almost half of the blue side went home at lunch
I do remember one of the red side was wearing black & another was in an almost PMC loadout, these were the guys who refused to acknowledge my hits even when they were a blatant 50/50
Plus both my rifles were playing up in all morning with misfires but were fine in the afternoon

To be honest I don't get rules like that. Either allow LMGs or don't. The whole point of a support gun is continuous suppressive fire. If you're not allowed to do that then why even bother?

Yep, the actual issue is overkilling anyway. Who cares if you are shooting nothing or someone not taking their hits for 5 seconds?

Avon cream repels ticks & mosquitos from what I've been told so I've ordered a bottle
I've been playing nearly a year now but yesterday was the worse case of non hit taking that I've ever been involved in, I was on the blue team & I'm glad I wasn't associated with playing on the red team

It's true. The body wash is quite often vaunted as an effective tick and flea preventative for dogs. Makes you wonder what the hell's in it!

This isn't a myth peddled by the avon sales reps is it - like when the Cif stand in Aldi told me that Cif by the pallet load could also de-spider your garden, and leave it smelling lemon-fresh to boot?

Expect to be hit more than once even if your hand is in the Air and you are screaming "HIT!" Try not to swear too loudly folks, it's just a game.
