harteman 155 Posted September 19, 2014 Anyone else notice they slow you down while running? Or am I that high? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matte (DayZ) 7 Posted September 19, 2014 It does? I found the protection glass-thingy for the helmet so was looking for one... :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leviski 2152 Posted September 20, 2014 Too bad the helmet offers no protection from anything, and no you do not run slower. I was just with a group of 4 and I kept up fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harteman 155 Posted September 20, 2014 I'll be testing that out on the first guy I capture. I have a spare helmet and an AK, gonna see if a headshot is survivable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
curtwalt2 0 Posted September 25, 2014 Confirmed, Gorka helm with visor attached took a AKM 7.62 round straight between the eyes, only knocked him out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bad Company 140 Posted September 25, 2014 It simply varies. I've survived a shot to the head from a Mosin with one, but as you can see in the video below; a 5.56 killed this guy instantly.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RNa3A5ZgLU 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

belphegor_goatzombie 100 Posted September 25, 2014 Since it is kinda big, does it increase head "hit box"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sirwarriant12 94 Posted September 25, 2014 I haven't noticed a speed decrease while wearing them but i think it's really dumb that the ballistic helmet provides more protection and face protection to boot. Theres no visor option for the ballistic helmet so why on earth would it protect you more from a face shot. I really hope they add the metal combat visor down the road so that the gorka E helmet plus the metal combat mask offers the most protection but possibly a loss in some vision since it covers so much of your face and leaves a slit to look through.

Evil Minion 943 Posted September 25, 2014 All headgear protects the whole head - maybe this will change, maybe not. On 9/25/2014 at 5:22 AM, Bad Company said: It simply varies.

JokersWarPig 16 Posted September 25, 2014 Well I didn't see that coming in that video.I don't really care about it's ballistic protection, I wear the helmet/face plate for cool points and nothing else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sirwarriant12 94 Posted September 25, 2014 I don't necessarily think ballistic protection should really be added to the riot visor and if it does only protect against small rounds like .22 or maybe 9mm, but if they added<<<this version it should have quite a bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
