Sell it.

It's not worth keeping.

The Germans lost for a reason.

I'll sell you my large kevlar PASGT helmet for $90, it is after all a design inspired by the german stall helm.

>>
>>34893502
Depending on where you live I might ask for you to pay shipping. It shouldn't be too much. I'll send you an email probably tomorrow. I still have work to do.
>>
>>34893502
holy shit, are you a geezer or something. Why the fuck are you using America online for your email. also what the fuck is that name, jesus.
>>
>>34893593
Cool.
>>34893614
Its a really old address that I can confidently use for spam, or in open forums.

Also, in conflict zones ak47's often fight against m16's.

Get an East German helmet. It's a Nazi design that was rejected because it didn't look iconic enough.
>>
i have a pasgt helmet for sale also. it doesnt have a chinstrap though. you could probably drill some extra holes in it and use a ACH chin strap. i also have some 3A plates

Get this helmut hed outta here
>>
>>34893270

I guess you could put a kevlar lining in it. Maybe a more comfortable and elastic chin strap.

And if its repro you might as well have some fun painting it.
>>
>>34893342
>Helmets
Too insignificant to measure
>Machine guns
Not heavy machine guns. They had nothing to compare with the M2 or Dushka
>Tanks
A good tank is one that you can easily produce, move, supply and maintain in large quantities.
>>
>>34893270
Stick some playing cards and cigarettes to it. and paint a peace sign and maybe a bible verse on it.

Also line it with fiberglass for protection
>>
Germany wanted to replace the Stahlhelm because it was SHIT but Hitler decided against it because it was "too foreign." It was developed into the M1956 helmet the East Germans used.

Good luck with that, it might make any potential head trauma even worse.
I don't get why the American far-right is so in infatuated with the trappings of nazism.
Why co-opt another country's fascism when you can make your own more nationally relevant form? It seems to defeat the purpose of the whole "Blut und Boden" bit
>>
>>34894241
>retard
Ironic and autistic.
>>
>>34893270
attach stuff to it, make it look 'modern'.
>>
Helmet is fine. If want modern, put big rubber band on helmet. Store cigarette and bullet under big rubber band.
>>
>>34893300
Yeah. They lost because their helmets were shit
>>
>>34893270
Just put a camouflage cover over it and call it a day.
>>
>>34894939
Pretty sure Hitler was quoted in his bunker as saying "Fuck!! If only we had better helmets, shit would have gone better. Look this shit doesn't even work!" Then he shot himself in the head.
>>
>>34895388
88 dubs confirms it.

You're not going to make it combat ready for the modern day. It wasn't combat ready 70 years ago, it's meant to stop fragmentation from bombs, grenades, artillery, and mortars reaching your head, not bullets. Maybe add some soft lining or pads to the inside to make it more comfortable to wear? If you seriously want something that'll protect your head in real modern combat get a PASGT or a newer model of american helmet. Surprise surprise, 2017's helmets blow 1935's helmets out of the water.
>>34893659
Commie german helmets makes it look like everything above your shoulders is just a giant penis.
>>
>>34893270
Add some camouflage
>>
>>34893270
Picatinny rails on the neck guard so you can mount a kevlar aventail.

A big sticker on the front with a funny caption, maybe something like "Anime is gay, JK!" with your favorite raifu next to it.

Paint it in camo, like a good camo maybe, something like urban digital or desert Kryptech.

That and be sure to put a /k/ somewhere on it too so other /k/ommandos can see it.
>>
>>34894074
Literal untermensch.
>>
>>34893270
Judging from the chinstrap you have a surplus Spanish M/79 Modello Z.
>>
>>34893270
Sell it and get a modern russian helmet instead
>>
>>34893300
Antifa GTFO, you know nothing about good weapons.
>>
>>34893342
German here, the B2 helmet (later known as the M56) was much more superior to the M35, but it did not went into production because of muh aestethics.

With tanks, while the panther was probably ONE of the best tanks around, the bigger is better mantra of the tigers was just stupid. Also they are fandomized, emaning they where not as good as claimed (fun fact, a sherman had more or less the same effective armor as a Tiger 1, because what is armor sloping?).
>>
Sell it and buy a better helmet. If it's a reproduction then it's crappy steel.
>>
>>34893342
The T-34 was the best tank of WW2, wehraboo.
>>
>>34899361
not him, but...
at being destroyed, prove me wrong.

That's not how you say Sherman, you filthy slavaboo

Pick one.

You're better off wearing a skateboard helmet.
