well a steel helmet can take a .22 or maybe even 9mm (at a distance) pretty well.
my old PASGT kevlar wasn't ballistic rated at all, it was just for shrapnel.
maybe a titanium helmet that had a kevlar and ceramic sandwich could take a couple rifle hits and be under 15 pounds. that's pretty light for a rifle resistant helmet.
>>28409625
>>28409625
OP, you do understand most helmets are just for fragmentation and bumps, don't you? Almost none of them stop rifle rounds. They can deflect every now and then, but direct hits are a bad day.
Didnt know anything. Sorry.
>>28409757
if you're worried about being shot in the head, don't be a target that exposes his head to easy enemy fire.
>>28409625
Microlattice steel.
You didn't specify cheap, so I guess this is what you're after.
>>28409625
first of all those don't exist. second of all why?
>>28409848
How? I get that the weight must be spread out super effectively but I would still think it would collapse the seeds. It still has weight to it, no matter how you disperse it
>>28410120
It's just that light. The crystal lattice structure is strong and flexible enough that it outperforms all current metals and uses just this side of no actual metal to do it.
You could almost say it's the hardest metal known to man.
Welcome to the future
>>28409775
People would try something nuts on me right now and i dont really care if i look strange with a crazy ass helmet so i dont get scoped
>>28409625
Helmets are not manufactured to be bulletproof, they are designed to protect against shrapnel, flying debris, falling or running into stuff, and MAYBE light pistol caliber.
As far as lightweight helmets go, they dont make one that protects against shit.
I know that the mich helmets that the army use are minimum 9mm point blank.

I fucking love nanomaterials, man. It's like having a second entire periodic table to play with, with all sorts of new shit to figure out.
hey guys, could I make a helmet out of 3/8 or 1/2" ar500 steel?
>>28411443
You could, yes. Post pictures on /k/ when you're done.
Minus the ability to take a few rifle shots.

>>28411448
how much steel do you think you would need to make a full iron man suit? they sell 14 square feet for $600. think like 3 of those? 4 of those?
>>28411546
I don't know, I'm just some guy on the internet. Go check Home Depot or something.
>>28409625
Take a motorcycle helmet.
Duck tape titanium plates and Kevlar to it that are strong enough to withstand at least 5.56 NATO
There, you got an uber retarded helmet that might be able to take 2-3 hits if you're lucky.
>>28411559
this is need to know information
how am I supposed to make an iron man suit capable of withstanding almost any common caliber if you can't even give me such simple information?
>>28411593
you dont?
>>28411593
It's not exactly light, but you get the idea... Now you just have to pony up $1000.
>>28409625
The only real life thing you're going to find is the Ballistic Face masks rated for about NIJ level III protection. You're still going to fuck up your face or neck though.

>>28409625
Take the lightweight part and get a bump helmet with a nvg shroud, just be real careful not to take shrapnel to the noggin or boolits
This is what you look for comrade.
Not light like pussy capitalist shit, but very stronk. Will take many hits of boolit.
>inb4 But toravich, is too heavy
Helmet not to heavy, your neck to weak, stop being little bitch man.

>ITT nogunz doesn't know that being shot is taking the force of being hit by a car and putting it in an area smaller than an inch
>>28412641
just wear a neck brace you pussy, why are you so afraid of getting shot in the face
>>28412641
My rifle doesn't exactly recoil like getting hit by a car
>>28412609
Can't see shit b/c of the camera
>>28412641
ITT people who don't understand physics
The energy a projectile hits with is essentially the energy you feel in the recoil. The difference is recoil is absorbed by the weight of the rifle and distributed over a much wider area. The actual physical force (as in its ability to move things) of a bullet is far from the impact of a moving vehicle. Hell, it doesn't even have enough to knock a man off his feet most of the time. It's the fact that the force is applied to such a small surface area, giving it penetrative power. Shock is typically why people collapse immediately upon being shot.
Kinda like how stabbing someone with a screwdriver might break skin but won't get deep, but the same force stab with a long needle would go balls deep. Thus the lethality of stiletto knives.
Getting shot in the head as far as physical force goes would be like putting the butt of the rifle against your head and firing. Would not feel good, might knock the shit out of you if it's a full sized round, but won't break your neck or anything like that.
>>28411546
look up how many yards of cloth it takes to make a suit for starters.
>>28413145
Not energy, momentum.
>>28409625
>Im looking for a lightweight helmet that can cover the entire head with the ability to take a few shots from a rifle
Just ban guns in your AO. That's lighter than any helmet and is guaranteed effective.
>>28413145
most people don't understand the difference between momentum and kinetic energy
including you
>>28412641
The average sedan going 50kph has almost 3x more kinetic energy than a 30mm from a GAU-8 does at the muzzle.
>>28411089
>Yfw
>>28409625
Yeah, let the army know if you ever find one.
>>28412878
Your rifle is also accelerating that bullet over the length of the barrel. Your body is stopping that bullet over (as far as rifles are concerned) a length much shorter.
>>28409641
ECH is already a thing. Level III, weights the same as the modern kevlar pots.
Just not available anywhere, yet.
>>28409662
the military ballistic protection wasn't rated for the longest of time. The old PASGT pots are still around NIJ level II, according to many civilian tests performed just recently.
>>28414615
It still does not work like that.
You won't "snack your neck" if your helmet manages to stop a rifle shot. You won't fly five meters backwards if shot by .308 point blank.

Simple physics, 101.
>>28412605
why don't they just make a shoulder brace for that helmet to take off some of the weight?
>>28413580
that should be a pro gun tshirt

What exactly can't you see? He shot the thing in the face dead on at 25 feet with 7.62x39 and it was easily survivable
>>28409757
The best way for your helmet to take a few shots from a rifle is to leave it exposed somewhere, and go to a different vantage point.
>>28415182
Sorry but the hardest metal is Dragonforce.
Christians: 0
>>28409625
A shot to the head is liable to give you brain/spinal chord damage, even more so if a helmet stops the bullet.
>>28415346
Why not put a layer of soft padding in the helmet to spread out the force ?
>>28415138
but practically everyone in america uses and relies on cars every day for work and general living. it would be a lie to say the same thing about guns.
also cars are already regulated harder than guns so its not really a good argument.
>>28415365
>cars are already regulated harder than guns
There's already enough bullshit and misinformation in this thread, thank you very much.
Assuming we're talking about the USA (and we are 'cuz 'Murrica)
Motor vehicles only require regulations (license, registration, inspection, insurance) if you're using them on public roads. Otherwise, there is no government involvement in the acquisition or ownership of the motor vehicle beyond the taxes at point of sale.
Firearms, on the other hand, are only as readily available through the private sale of longarms. Most every other instance of legally acquiring a firearms involves the government's requirement of a background check with certain firearms requiring registration and tax to the federal government. At point of sale, firearms are more regulated than motor vehicles. After sale, motor vehicles are more consistently regulated by state governments, but firearm regulations range from state constitutional carry to outright bans on weapons not approved by the state's government. Effectively, the post-sale regulations are reasonably comparable.

Wowee OP, it sure is 4th grade in here.

Fund it!
Well stepping back for a moment from the obvious fact OP is either a twelve year old or mentally deficient in some manner it would be possible to build body armor that could take a few rifle hits. It wouldn't be lightweight by any standard but with some judicious use of HGH and other 'fun' steroids and a strict strength building routine he should be perfectly fine
To keep this little exercise feasible for our mentally challenged friend I'm basing all the ideas off the World War I era body armor experiments. The chest and the head could be fairly well protected by a slightly modernized replica of the Brewster Body Shield, the original could stop .303 British at close range and a modern version could fairly easily be built from AR500 type steel. The downsides of course being the Brewsters considerable weight of nearly 40lbs and the inability of the wearer to see much more than a 90 degree cone in front of him.
Cont.
>>28409625
the bullets in black ops aren't real bro, you're safe.
>>28415346
Have the helmet mounted to a frame on your back and not actually touching your head.
>>28416055
Now as anyone can easily notice the Brewster has the notable lack of any protection for the arms of the wearer. This can be solved by a recreation of the US Army Experimental Light Body Armor that was developed in 1917-18, it has arm guards that while only proofed against grazing rifle fire and direct hits from extreme range it was largely sound against shell splinters and pistol caliber rounds. The arm guards were built out of the hardened steel with a sponge rubber backing and secured to the wearer with leather straps. A modern version would be built largely the same, simply exchanging materials where needed. All said and done you could probably build a fairly complete suit of relatively resistant armor and it would only weigh in at about 60-70lbs or so. So not lightweight, comfortable, practical, or really something anyone possessed of a rational intellect would build but it is possible.
>>28409625
There isn't
>>28416143
what about this? is this ever gonna be implemented?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28owOOPt1Gs
Then make it super heavy. As long as my whole head is protected, i dont care.
>>28418616
Except for the fact that sometimes its better to have mobility than to be more bullet resistant.
>>28410307
>hardest metal
That's not diamond
>>28413145
While it's an exaggeration to equate a rifle round's energy to that of a car, that isn't the point. Modern materials such as Kevlar just aren't strong enough to disperse the energy from a rifle round without being unacceptably heavy and cumbersome.
>>28413145
>The energy a projectile hits with is essentially the energy you feel in the recoil.
except it's not. I'm just going to assume everything else you said is just as dumb as this statement.
>>28412605
>>28412613
i is spetsnaz and can confirm too
>>28419155
Diamond =/= metal
However you're correct, strength to weight has nothing to do with hardness
>>28419155
>diamond

Stay in school.
>>28419402
>>28419415
Due to extensive research done by the University of Pittsburgh, diamond has been confirmed as the hardest metal known to man. The research is as follows. Pocket-protected scientists built a wall of iron and crashed a diamond car into it at 400 miles per hour, and the car was unharmed. They then built a wall out of diamond and crashed a car made of iron moving at 400 miles an hour into the wall, and the wall came out fine. They then crashed a diamond car made of 400 miles per hour into a wall, and there were no survivors. They crashed 400 miles per hour into a diamond traveling at iron car. Western New York was powerless for hours. They rammed a wall of metal into a 400 mile per hour made of diamond, and the resulting explosion shifted the earth's orbit 400 million miles away from the sun, saving the earth from a meteor the size of a small Washington suburb that was hurtling towards mid-western Prussia at 400 billion miles per hour. They shot a diamond made of iron at a car moving at 400 walls per hour, and as a result caused two wayward airplanes to lose track of their bearings, and make a fatal crash with two buildings in downtown New York. They spun 400 miles at diamond into iron per wall. The results were inconclusive. Finally, they placed 400 diamonds per hour in front of a car made of wall traveling at miles per iron, and the result proved without a doubt that diamonds were the hardest metal of all time, if not just the hardest metal known to man.
>>28419415
fucking newfags
>>28419444
This man speaks the truth. Can confirm, was at ground zero when four hundred diamond hit per wall at hour.
