Good luck taking a round to the head even with this thing on.

Ford also manufactured the B-24 Liberator for the Army during the war.

Very storm trooper

"Steel, leather, felt, canvas, bronze, pigment, sawdust"

So exactly like an F150.

This thing looks like it was designed and manufactured in 1518 not 1918.

It could stop shrapnel from shells. Artillery was responsible for the majority of casualties in WWI, not guns.

Fair point, even with guns there's spall that can get you if the bullets hit something hard, but the fact that we don't use this kind of design kinda highlights that it's not worth the trade off of visibility vs protection.

That must have been like wearing an oven after a few hours.

R u sure this one isn't involved the user to mastering swordsmanship or something similar?

So did Mercedes for the German Reich.
So what? You won't buy any car now?

Basically every major manufacturer was involved in some capacity.

The design was taken from knights' helmets.
