The Great Debate.
It doesn't really matter, but in principle the ideal is a high cut with a small muttonchop coming down in front of the ears and 3A panels on the outside shell of the earpro. Dont think such a thing exists tho.
>>65043353so...you took an hi cut to make it into a low cut,, yo urealize how stupid that soundif you start to think a bit more you should have just said get a mid cut like the TC2000
>>65043358>tc2000fuck i meant the tc2002
>>65043358All the trappings of a highcut with the ballistic coverage of a low cut, best of both worlds. Midcuts are shitty compromises. What Im advocating is something like an IBH, with all the benefits and accessories associated with a modern high cut, combined with headset on AMP arms, with the outer shell of the headset being ballistically rated. Its not that hard to understand if you arent retarded.
>>65043344Imagine even slightly compromising your immaculate brain's protection just so you can hear other people's opinion better. There's no debate whatsoever.

>>65043353>>65043377Ballistic ear covers have the problem of being unconnected and unsupported by the helmet shell, which means that 1) ballistic/structural strength is compromised and 2) the edge area of said ballistic panels is drastically increased, making the risk of projectiles blowing out at lethal velocities far greater. This problem can be mostly solved by having like 1/2" of overlap between the ear panels and the shell, but between the added material and mounts, the weight and cost of such a helmet would be substantially higher than a regular low cut helmet. Also, most ballistic ear covers (including the design closest to your idea, made for the Team Wendy exfil) completely ignore this problem and straight up have gaps between the shell and panels. There's really only two advantages this has over a slightly wider conventional low cut (or just wearing one a size larger), the first of which is that you can't use most existing side rail earpro/comms mounts on them, but that can be remedied by bolting or molding mounting brackets on the inside of the shell, or simply using the rear section of rail rather than the top, like with the AMPs. I can recall at least 3 examples of this, including an AMP mount for the IHPS, a chinesium one for Comtac Vs and the ACH/ECH, and some anon's custom build for his ECH he posted on /bag/ back when that was a thing. The second is that if your ear panels are connected to the arms or are on hinged mounts, they could give the earpro enough space to unlatch like on a regular high cut to relieve pressure on the ears. That would actually be really nice but it's of limited utility relative to the added cost for militaries or poorfags. Also>muttonchopsgreat idea that frankly should be universal for high cuts but helmet manufacturers in the US are apparently retarded.
dudes... bullet proof earmuffs
>>65043682Chad take>>65043398Chad take>>65043911armor autist take
>>65043398
>>65044325We got a winner.
Something like >>65043822 with the ear flanges even more pronounced so you can fit a low-profile comms headset or active ear pro under it.
>>65043344Which one stops bullets?
>>65043344Amateurs
>>65044758
>cram some electronic earmuff components into it>swap the snaps with a NVG mount>improve the ventilation while not compromising much of the paddingAside from material, weight, and paint, why shouldn't something like this work?
>>65043344High cut for ear pro and nvg mount. I wouldn’t die for Israel so I would never be anywhere near explosions going off.
