Blurring Together

You will not go far wrong saying that a 20th century steel helmet is about 3 lb and gives DR 4.

But...

GURPS normally likes to put stuff in chronological order, alphabetical is better for when you're getting it organized.

I'm not sure how many more I need.

But I've found some interesting things.  The British Helmet, Combat, General Service, Mk 6 is not made from Kevlar.  It's made from ballistic nylon and barely gives better protection than an M1 steel pot from the same era.  It's barely lighter, but a lot more comfortable.

There's no "comfort" stat in GURPS. 

I am also finding that many GURPS books simply got the weights wrong.  I noticed this when I weighed my Finnish M1916 helmet.  Now that I'm actively checking, I'm finding lots of disparities.

But some of these books predate the internet.  Nerds and geeks are weighing their militaria and putting their measurements online now!

Even so, I have averaged a couple weights because they come in several sizes...
