Life saver *kevlar helmet*

[DnA]

Royal Marine Eric Walderman from the British Army‘s 40 Commando wears a bullet-riddled kevlar helmet on Wednesday. The helmet saved his life after it was hit by four bullets during a firefight in the assault on the southern Iraqi port of Umm Qsar.

I wonder if he was shot at for making himself a target by not wearing a shirt.

One lucky guy, I had a masterjack on my BMQ/SQ course who had taken a ricochet into his helmet and luckily he wasn't injured but he still uses that same helmet

You want to read old and dead threads fill your boots but please shut up and don't resurrect them.
