This armored mask featured very small eye slits, a cut away to get a cheek weld on a rifle, and a bend at the bottom to prevent spalling from striking it’s wearer.

What’s a check weld?
*I think it’s supposed to be cheek. You put your cheek on the stock.
Typo, I just fixed it. I meant ‘cheek weld’. But a cheek weld is when a shooter places his/her face on the stock of a rifle/shotgun to gain a more stable sight picture, which contributes to better accuracy.
You beat me…
Only by two minutes. To be fair I was also the one who messed up in the first place.
Cool post
a check weld is when you take two checks and staple them together, giving the combined value…
Cheek, I think maybe they mean to get ones cheek on, ‘weld to’ ,the butt stock. I could be way off, as well…

Yes
I don’t think so, if you have bad vision you can usually see further by squinting your eyes. If you look through a tiny hole you can actually see a small part sharper (but less overall)
So what does it do? Like old school safety glasses?
I asume that it’s there to prevent them taking bullets to the noggin… or rather to reduce the damage. Bet it would ring like a damn bell, but thats better than the alternative.
Yeah I was wondering what it’d feel like to get shot in the head wearing this thing. Skipping off the top, which is probably best case scenario, maybe not so bad. But a direct hit would be like…having a giant jab you really hard in the face with all their strength by a hot, dull stick. Would the indentation left (assuming the bullet doesn’t pierce) actually travel right through the head like the bullet would, but only as far as the limit of the metal/length of indentation on the helmet itself? Like, just make the bullet duller and the entrance wound be all? Or would it knock the person out?
So would you be able yo use this lying down?
