cavninja Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 On the subject of helmets, I've just ordered this http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/121368405158?cmd=VIDESC For my Emerson multicam FAST PJ helmet! Whoop whoop!
Dan88 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Looks decent. I can't imagine I'd use it much though.
cavninja Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 True, maybe on a night game or CQB with lower light, once the shooting stops!! Lol but, just like a suppressor, it looks very cool!! Lol
jay83 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Ya i had one without the wheel it was awful could never get a comfortable fit
Dan88 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 I wear a hard hat all day, so maybe I'm just used to having something on my head. I think the one with out the wheel is fine.

airsoftwarrior147 Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 I want to recreate this but with a black Nvg mount and black Nvg arm www.americanspecialops.com/photos/view.php?i=/images/photos/force-recon/force-recon-pistol-shooting-hr.jpg&r=/photos/usmc/force-recon-pistol-grip.php
Supporters jcheeseright Posted July 15, 2014 Supporters Posted July 15, 2014 that NVG mount is a Norotos AKA2, I think there's an airsoft replica of it made by FMA. As for the helmet, standard Mich 2001 with some sticky back velcro and goggle retention straps added. The marine in that picture has also added an ops-core x-nape too, but that'll just have been for stability when using NVG, if you're not going down that route the standard straps are fine.

BOOYA! yea im 40yoa and a big child ok! You'll have to let me know what that camera is like, I've been looking into getting a go pro but they cost like a million pound. And I'd only ever use it to record skirmishes.

Dan88 Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Looks a decent camera like. Might have to order one and give it a go
Supporters jcheeseright Posted July 15, 2014 Supporters Posted July 15, 2014 A note on that helmet barry, do NOT use the visor in it as eye protection, they're not rated for any kind of impact at all and BBs at 300fps fly straight through! i just got this off ebay (getting it tomorrow hopefully) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261508479950 Also got a camera to go with it for videoing and here is that also http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181395272213 CANY WAIT!!!

BOOYA! yea im 40yoa and a big child ok! I could be mistaken but if thats the helmet without the twisty-worm system, you could have been a little ripped off. Same helmet, postage included for £25 http://www.shootercbgear.com/product_info.php?products_id=7781
cropzy Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Could anybody reccommend a good (but not too expensive) helmet for a bloke with a massive head? I really want one.
two_zero Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Friend was gonna throw away 3 old Swedish army helmets.. so I got them laying around now... HEAVY! Guess you hear if you get hit in the head if you'd wear it haha! kinda want to get an airsoft helmet, mostly so I can mount my pov cam, but also because I am tall, clumsy and hitting your head on concrete can suck. Thinking of respraying an old inlines helmet that I got laying around, haha!They DO look rather like some of the newer tactical helmets!(neither of the pics are of my actual item, cant take pictures of them atm!) cavninja 1
cavninja Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Don't they do a purple one!!!??? It could be a team name?!! AirsoftTed and P1K3Y 2
two_zero Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 purple tactical inline helmeters? I'm all for that!I'm sure you can find a purple one, the one I have is metalic blue cavninja 1
cavninja Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Awesome! we used to have an old fashioned crew guard in the Recce in Germany, painted pink, with appropriate markings on for the biggest D*ck of the Day on Gunnery camp! Oh how we laughed! Unless you were wearing it!
cavninja Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 I think Steel helmets for everyone in airsoft could only improve the game!! Just imagine the satisfying ping as you double tap someone in the head?! No need to call that one mate!! JamesAirsofterAgent 1
Supporters Lozart Posted July 17, 2014 Supporters Posted July 17, 2014 This thread interests me. I want a helmet because I usually just wear a baseball cap (backwards mostly to protect my neck) but keep getting hit in the D shaped hole where the adjuster is (I swear people aim for it!). Thing is I have a MASSIVE head and I sweat like a paedophile in Mothercare so....what's the airiest helmet that's still worth wearing? cropzy and ItsAJ 2

Thing is I have a MASSIVE head and I sweat like a paedophile in Mothercare so....what's the airiest helmet that's still worth wearing? Having worn Mk 4s (yes, I'm that old!), Mk6s and crew guards, the Emmerson one I bought is as comfy as a cycle helmet, has air holes to allow some circulation and brings you closer to your diety, because every time a BB pings off your head you'll be thanking him like a MoFo!! I got the FAST PJ advanced on Evike for $56, I'm a size 60cm and it is snug on me, snug but comfortable. I guess too amny holes/too much circulation and you'll just get shot in the head all the time?! Lozart 1
two_zero Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 I usually just wear eye & lower face protection.. sometimes a piece of material, partly for camo and partly because I once got shot straight in the ear hole at a very short distance with a gun I suspect was hot... not something I would recommend. cavninja: yea... you can wear a steel helmet, glhf XD j/k cavninja 1

I feel your pain, I do the exact same thing and come out with red marks from the D shaped hole. Problem is, I have a massive head, I would rather try on a helmet that would fit snug, if not I just want one that somebody can recommend who has a big head too.
AirsoftTed Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 the one I have is metalic blue I'd go to the doctors and get that checked mate! Also, where are the skate helmets you linked from? They look very much like the old pro-tec delta bump helmets!
