Glancing blows are also an indication the helmet is working. Non-direct hits glance and are survivable.

The Garand "ping" myth was even regurgitated on the History Channel and the Discovery Channel.

WOLVERINES!!!!!!

I bought a National Ordinance 1903a3. Someone on reddit mentioned that those are a "big pile of repro poo" and are considered by many to be unsafe to shoot. Does the information you provided apply to those as well? Or are they a different story entirely? From what I understand, National Ordinance took some old parts kits to make reproductions of the 1903a3.

Salt melts ice. Am I wrong?

Now this is a dream come true seeing you make this camos on PASGT helmet covers ! I’m curious if you ever have plans on making a helmet cover in urban woodland ?

If this was the actual speed, you could sell these through a drive-thru window.

damn, nice.

Looks like a pain in the ass 😩

Beautiful

Nice

World war II history and reenacting always gets his hands on some of the best pieces I've ever seen especially when it comes to uniforms

Nice rifles, I have two m96 rifles love them

big fan mike b I agree with your burger king oder

55:10 Not only did he make a fucking memorial, he spelled Hitlers first name wrong on said memorial :')

I was able to go to Dragonman's this summer and take the tour. I don't know nearly as much as you guys about the historic details of all this stuff. But it was still super interesting. There is so much stuff and the tour is 2 hrs. He doesn't actually give the full tour. There are 2 or 3 other guys that do most of it. You think the German room was creepy, you should see the Desert Storm room! Some weird stuff. But the weirdest is that he has his mom and dad's ashes and mannequins with the cloths they last wore with a bunch of their stuff set up. The guy has tons of just stuff, uniforms, radios, lights, gas masks, medical gear, vehicles, etc. He's a big Elvis fan, so he has 3 huge rooms of Elvis and 1950's stuff. I'm sure you've seen videos of all of it. I guess what I'm getting at is I appreciate you all taking the time to point out some of the historical inaccuracies. As a person that loves history, but doesn't know WWII to the details you guys do, it was still super interesting and worth the tour, to me. Even if some of the stuff is reproductions. Keep doing some more of these, I learn so much from you guys.

They are the reason I fell in love with French history actually, I am now a huge Hundred Years War/Napoleonic Wars/Franco-Prussian/WW1 French fan. Also, where’d you get the uniform if you don’t mind me asking?

The ECH is the new metagame.

Super video, Mike. Does help to identify the differences in a simple way. Most valuable information for the collector, keep up the good work. All the best from the UK.

Many thanks for the great film. I own an M1917 , but always worried about no washer behind the lugs. Reassuring yours is the same. Mines the star of my collection. Keep up the good work.

It’s cool that I see the helmet I bought and know “yeah a lot of people liked this video.” Thanks for the helmet Mike! It’s gonna sit in my helmet collection nicely!

I always thought the problem with UCP wasn’t the pattern, but the palette. Although, I think the pixels should be enlarged. It’s like they made it look cool up close, but up close doesn’t matter. At distance, the colored pixels just blend together, defeating any disruption the pattern has. Larger pixels would keep disruption at distances where it matters. Also, the cut of the uniform sucked. Looked baggy in all the wrong places. Needed to fit more like the Marines.

You make covers for M1 steel pots? Just asking.

You could have saved a few seconds by saying “just about every European PASGT Clone”

Есть еще шлем СШ-60Н. По имеющейся информации, на предприятие вместо оговоренных к модернизации СШ-68 привезли по ошибке партию СШ-60. Производителя это не смутило. Так появился новый шлем СШ-60Н "Заготовка", произведенный для МВД. Я приобрел такой. Есть еше СШ-68М, армейский вариант. У него подтулейное устройство (линер) как у СШ-68 с другим вариантом подбородочного ремешка.

ROKMC ~ 대한민국 해병대!!

Great pattern 👍

The bolt on my m91 is pretty smooth as well. Honestly the only thing slowing me down with mine are the dang clips. I always have issues with rounds nose diving or trying to point straight up. Sometimes they'll stick. I need some clips like yours.

There was nothing wrong with woodland and desert. If the Marpat is the best, all services should have it.

thanks for you knowledge

Beginners...buy a stick...then sharpen the tip...your welcome😅

Looks amazing man! Hope we can see some more livestreams soon.

mmmm yes these look like helmets

Who filmed you and what was the following conversation after shooting this? “Oh shit this take sucked, do it again Mike, gotta be more dramatic”.

Any idea how up armor helmets take ceramic tile broken ceramic tile shards you take a bunch of duct tape make the duct tape strips and you take the sticky part of the strip and you put on a non sticky part of the strip first you make sure your home is clean first you clean the surface did you take strips of duct tape and keep on gluing it onto your helmet shards what this way to do is made a mess of a strike face on your helmet for steel helmet if a bullet strikes it what happened is a slow itself down or break up so much be able to take a hit from maybe one hit from a rifle round no it sounds a little goofy and something like you might see a MacGyver play weird enough it might work is military helmets are designed to stop fragments in front door anyway

Does your Mauser shoot high?

Why did the last ones look like tanker helmets?

I can confirm your Blumentarn cover fits the NVA M56, US PASGT and Russian 6B47! Not often you come across such a universal helmet cover! Might i recommend 32 Battalion, SADF Nuteria, Omani DPM and Austrian Kampfunzug (KAZ58) next.

Also for the stereotypical fudd: shaped like an Egg, at least over 70 years of age and is probably your great grandpa.

Where do you find the ammo for it?

Can someone educate me on why almost all German surplus I get is dated with 1998?

I taught myself how to run a modern Ruger American fast, think I was able to cycle through 6 rounds in 8 seconds. Impressed some guys at the range with it. Helped that I was using a red dot on it, as soon as I switched it over to a scope it slowed me down a lot. Can probably still shoot it faster than most people though.

got a same pattern helmet, that backface deformation is kind of scary but pretty good for a shell that thin.

The German uniforms from 1916-1918 almost look sci-fi, they were truly the army of the future.

Excellent combat seamstress 😊

I stick metal together for a living. Can confirm a lot of folks in the industry being puds. I'll keep at it until I can pay off the house. Then Arby's here I come!

I love the East German surplus that you have, its brillant
