From the article: "The SAS is the UK’s answer to the Navy SEALs." The SAS was founded in 1941 as a regiment, and later reconstituted as a corps in 1950. SEALs the first two teams were formed in January 1962. |

I don't know what a "Boba Fett" is, but, I read about these Devtac ballistic helmets a year ago. Looked like a really cool idea, but, no information at that time when they were going to be available. The only deficiency about the ones that I read about was that they used soft, ballistic Kevlar pads that velcro-ed onto the helmet. The problem with Kevlar is that it is soft (like police chest worn body armor) and a shot to the head might still kill the person wearing it by the resulting skull fracture. Seems like it would have been better if they produced a helmet with a hard backing to the Kevlar as well as a hard shell frame for the Kevlar pads to attach to, that would absorb the blunt trauma from the shock of the bullet striking the Kevlar. It's still an interesting idea and may be more effective than the full face ballistic armor masks which only protect the face and not the head.

They've also experimented with hexagonal blocks of ceramic armor material. They've posted pics and testing up to .44 mag. No point in testing rifle of course. They are shipping. IIRC, about a 6 month lead time from ordering, it's $1500 for a basic non-ballistic version, and $3000 for the ballistic one. |
