You wear one of these. OK, it’s not that funny. (It is, in fact, Revision Military’s IHPS small arms helmet. “The helmet’s optimized shell design contours the shape of the wearer’s head, increasing their area of coverage and protection while reducing system weight and unneeded space. The system weighs less than existing combat helmets and includes upgradeable mandible and visor protection. It also features an innovative retention and netted suspension system with dial-in comfort settings and high-impact ballistic padding. The suite includes modular ballistic armor plates that can be applied to the helmet’s exterior for an increased level of protection.”) Show me how it’s done. Finish the sentence properly . . .
…you win a gun battle at 60 mph from the back of your motorcye.
Only in Battlefield. lol
a must have riding a motorcycle through chicago
…until your size 44/26 78-pocket digital camo cargo pants arrive from Amazon.
+1 bravo!
You win!
No Master Chief visor? I’m insulted.
They also make that as well. Actually looks pretty badass.
Garza didn’t lose his Kevlar, he was testing a new helmet!!
(Points to whoever gets the reference.)
Generation Kill?
Where do I redeem these points?
Amazon probably.
Can’t wait. Gonna get me one of these:
Edit, aw image didnt work. Anyway it’s an MP COMMANDO Muscle Costume. Sort of alieny and sort of IHPSy.

“THAT HEMMET WASN’T YOURS TO LOSE!”
You know all the words to this song… http://youtu.be/bIVWSjgHUkQ
… until the accessories on you AR outweigh the rifle and you can re-enact every Carnik Con video. Operator as f#@&!
Until… You upholster your car interior and furniture with MOLLE.
Until… You own 15 cans of tactical bacon.
Until… You double the weight of your Bushmaster with $20 ”upgrades”
Until… Your rails have rails.
Until… Operator becomes the most frequent word you say.
I might be a bit into mall ninja territory, but there isnt much of a difference.
Came here to post “until your rails have rails”, left satisfied.
For when you need back ups to your back ups:

Best. Promotional. Video. Ever.
Lol on the rail comment
Wow I had to look up tactical bacon and of course cmmg makes it in a can with a 10+ year shelf life. Also found unicorn meat on Amazon.
Ironically, I just got a rail for my rail … It’s a 45-degree adapter for an Insight WRL light from Haley Strategic. But, as a Marine, I reserve the right to think I was tacticool before I had a rail for my rail.
INFORCE WML light … Not an Insight light. I also reserve the right to be wrong from time to time. Crow tastes delish!
Add those beer can holders with the straw dispenser and I will buy one tomorrow…
and the operator is completely incapable of hearing someone sneaking up behind him.
probably hears better than most with the integrated peltors.
… you refer to a firearm as a “weapons system.”
… or a dry fire as a “tactical press.” Seriously, wtf?
^ this is hilarious.
I imagine a “tactical press” is a reloading press with accessory rails on it.
I thought it was lifting weights under fire.
Sounds like innuendo to me.
Put talon grips on your iphone for greater purchase, and carry it in a thigh holster since you have honed that drawstroke to the point where it is greasy fast.
Seem logical that the military would want a helmet that protects the soldiers face, plus a heads up display would be a great asset to infantry soldiers if the obvious technical hurdles can be overcome. Now the psyops people need to figure out what to make look like so that it instills fear into the hearts of as many of our likely enemies as possible.
My retinas are my heads-up display
Throw a little Hot Rod Red onto it and make it look like Iron Man.
I’d be all about increased protection from having my face shot off.
What to make it look like to instill fear?
Feinstein.
Mental image of U.S. infantrymen going into battle wearing Feinstein helmets just induced a fit of laughter.
… everything you own has a picatinny rail equiped with laser, flashlight and vertical grip.
Including your wife’s mop
… you wear the IHPS small arms helmet on your nightly neighborhood watch patrol.
You own all the “operator” accessories but still operate a Chevy Citation.
Is this how the last sentence should read?
“The helmet includes modular ballistic armor plates that can be applied to the helmet’s exterior for an increased level of protection.”
….Your EDC pocket knife has a laser, flashlight, 1 point sling, night vision and bipod.
Do you even tacticool bro?
I take it your a level 100 Colonel?
LOL!
I had to google that.
When you have tactical laser pizza cutter.
…you buy this to go with your picatinny-rail-infused rollerblades
This 15-year old boy was more tacti-cool than the readers of this blog, or American cops, will ever be.
Words are cheap; walk the walk!
Kid’s a damn hero.
Clearly cared enough about his mates to do whatever it took to protect them.
Why, that would make him “tacti-cooler” than you, “Anony-wuss”.
No one ever said the kid wasn’t, but thanks for being today’s “TITPB” (Turd In The Punch Bowl)!
A warrior. A hero. A martyr.
I’m going to buy one of these for my son’s ocularist, and replace the night vision goggles with his magnifying headgear. He works near Detroit, might come in handy.
In July 2012 Leonard Embody was questioned/detained/arrested by some of Metro Nashville’s Finest. The video is on YouTube. Leonard can be seen wearing a ballistic vest and can be heard saying the reason he is wearing the vest is because he has a history of having police officers point their weapons at him. Honesty, I like it. So this is Leonard’s next purchase…. Stay tuned to his next video from Legislative Plaza wearing said new helmet.
Check that. It was July 2013. My mistake. The rest is all true… for the most part.
The helmet can also be equipped with external reactive armor to defeat shaped charges.
“Trick or treat!”
NECK STRAIN. That’s all I’m saying.
…your AR weighs more than you do…
. . . Magpul sends you a Christmas card.
Pair with Revision Military’s Crosman Urban Mission Airsoft Kit [http://www.airgunwarehouseinc.com/py-2545.html] for the ultimate tacticool experience.
Di I get one for free if I join the Borg Collective?
… you are ready to be shot out of your own canon.
… you stand naked in front of the mirror, admiring the 6″ rail you just superglued to your junk, and say, “bring it.”
Does the 6 inch rail match the chrome barrel extension and hydraulic pump?
Dude, puhlease. Nothing but hard chrome with a nitron finish for the true operator. Hydraulic or pneumatic is acceptable. And so what it’s only a six inch rail… True Operators don’t give a F*CK what anyone thinks because they are stylin’ via IR and night vision all the way to the bed.
LMAO.
Win!
…you pee your pants.
If peeing your pants makes you tacticool consider me Miles Davis
Billy Madison!!!!
O’doyle rules!
… you pee your pants because you will not willingly disarm yourself to unzip the fly and have at it. Why? Because F*CK YOU! Operating here!
You deploy with Gecko45…
…HK thinks you’re cool, and kinda likes you.
YES!
…you have a rail mounted bottle opener
Still waiting on a Dune style “still suit” for desert combat. Or just an exo suit with a Gatling gun on the in of the arms.
Ppffftttt that’s so last week. Gecko45 has one infused into his skull.
Does it come with a supersonic helicopter?
The only reason for the face shield is because of the threat of IEDs.
That thing would be hot, heavy, and prevent you from getting a proper cheek weld with your weapon. I have no idea why anybody would want to have one of these.
True urban operators in any American metropolitan police force… They are less concerned with cheek weld and more concerned with getting the crap beat out of them by the side of the MRAP they are hanging onto the outside of as they wheel to the future crime scene.
…you can wrap a shemagh 9 different ways for every occasion.
Chuck Norris’s shemagh wraps itself.
Cheekweld isn’t necessary if that display links to your weapon’s optic a la the Israeli CornerShot, and the military loves that type of thing. It beats sticking your head around the corner and biting lead.
Your AR has so many tacti-cool add-ons your bipod has wheels on the bottom to push it around.
That is stupid. I guess the idea is to make the enemy die laughing. I hated wearing reg Kevlar much less a fancy dirt bike helmet.
Dorky pass on that as much as the current Nazi style helmets they use.
I will take this one.

I would have loved one as a gunner though….
Nearly Darth Vader style!
My corpsman instincts tell me this will complicate BLS
Would be nice if it was DOT approved, but that would add way too much bulk and heft to be a practical future combat item, also all I see is exposed neck, I wont feel bullet proof until i am bulletproof.
How are you supposed to get a good cheek weld with that jaw protector?
…Your knife has an ACOG.
