These arent on the civilian market as far as I know but there are actual military style helmets used for this. These helmets used for simunition arent rated by ASTM for regular paintball projectiles which are .68 caliber.
Yeah, and when the opfor puts their ammo in the freezer, it teaches a lesson to those who think that we are "just" simulating combat.
