Mk6 Ballistic Helmet

[Macsforfire]

I've recently purchased the MK6 ballistic helmet, these are the previous model to the one currently being used by UK armed forces and mine has a manufacture date of 2009. It's made of several layers of moulded ballistic nylon (similar to Kevlar) I paid £28 on eBay including postage and it came with a dessert cammo cover (although I've removed mine so it's just black) It is a solid helmet, not too heavy it both looks and feels the part and for £28 I wreckon its a prepping must, after all what use is all that canned food if somebody hits you over the head on day 1 of SHTF. Plus it's got the obvious advantage of being able to protect against a variety of firearms which is definitely welcome. I wreckon I'll be getting a few more at some point in the future in different sizes for the Girlfriend and other family members.

It could carry about 2litres of water I suppose....

Bear in mind that just like Motorcycle helmets, if dropped, they'll need replacing.

Dont think the drop it replace it counts for ballistic helmets as its not a shell with polystyrene glued to it. Also its good for stopping bullets not much else. If someone smacks you over the head with a 2x4 you will still be knocked out
