helemets in wars were never meant to stop bullets(unfortunately), they were basically used for shielding against grenade shrapnel

Helmet don't change any thing. But when you got a head shot, you have 20% more dmange. Sometime you kill popele with 3 ruger shot. That is because you hit enemis feet not head.

Helmets don't provide camo, invisible heads provide camo. Of course, I would never use that... :long nose smiley: :flaming pants smiley:

and the invisble head things works
but then the guy has more leeway then he can see :)
think about it...
if in real life you were wearing a helmet...and some guy shot you with an pistol right in the head....do you really think the helmets gonna stop the bullet from goings straight into your forhead?!!?!? I DON'T THINK SO...dumb asses these days

so what?

When your health drops below a certain point, you lose your hat/helmet. It doesn't protect you.. it's just for the look.

The helmet doesn't fall off when the health falls below a point.

BTW the helmet protects against one shot from a machinrgun.

If it was true it would be sutch a minor difference, you wouldn't notice it...

In reply, yes, they do stop bullets. the military helments provided(assuming theese are the same as the ones given in USMC basic training) will stop up to and including a 5.56mm NATO round ( .223 for everyone else , and some shrapnel protection from fragmentations of explosives. The problem with most of them lies in the fact that most military/paramilitary organizations these days rely on the slower, but far more powerful 7.62mm ( .308 ) round. So that in mind, the deagles,mp5,steyerAUG,and the ruger77, to some degree ( it fires a .243, slightly bigger than a 5.56 nato round, somthing akin to a 5.54Ru ), the soccom, and combat knice ( if assuming it's a head shot) are null and void as far as head shots go..... Just thought I'd put in my 2 cents, not that anyone wants it....[:D]

IF Barret bullet or other comes, Helmet is as good as hat. but i think that there`s scrape shots, that makes damage, but very little.

IF helmet affects bullets damage, why in hell there`s "nothing on head" option.

Sticky
April 27, 2004, 8:45 pm
And how would that jaunty little bowler hat stop a bullet?
Helmets are as much use as the dog tags and gold chain. Or a chocolate teapot filled with lice.

I don't even try to make headshots i just shot at the guy.. lol.. usally dies with 3-5 hits... UNLESS lag interfears... (and thats usally often)

I don`t try to shoot to head. IT`s too small. You have very good luck if you hit head when you want.
Helmet or hat, they are only ornaments!!!

I only aim for the head on static people, although I use deagles so it's usually a 2 hit kill anyway...

helmets CAN deflect bullets tho... just not when they're shot straight on...

I really don't see the difference with wearing a helmet or no helmet, if you get a headshot from a berret you're dead and from a ruger, again the same story there's no difference to me.
Also Dreds are cool, but punk's bettah.
