WE'VE BEEN OVER THIS. MILITARY HELMETS DO NOT USE HYDROGRAPHICS. THEY ARE COVERED WITH A PIECE OF CLOTH.

Thank you! Someone actually has some sense!! I do hydro graphics on a lot of things, and I can say that the film would not hold like cloth

LokiKingOfJotunheim
As a veteran, I can confirm this from first hand experience...

This is a generalisation, but regular military uses cloth covers, SOF-soldiers use painted or dipped helmets, e.g. Ops-Core FAST.

And grenades have opposing springs to produce a timed effect.

On the 2nd one, do you know how long it would take to do that to all of the helmets. And have to do 3x-4x more for the different camo..
bl1ndseer
Are you referring to the gif, or what I was saying?
aykyle
The gif. If that's how they put camo on helmets, it would take forever to do every helmet. And there are multiple types of camo.
bl1ndseer

Actually military helmets aren't pre dyed it's a cloth cover that the soldiers have to put on themselves.

ObiSeanFlurNobi
Actually we have reversible cloth covers we put on them. Desert one side, woodlands on the other.
jsnen
And this dipping thing is probably worse, because it's still a smooth and shiny surface. Shape, sheen, etc.
LurkMasterP
It's the perfect camouflage if you have to hide in dirty water with camo film on top.

Well, yes and no. Military helmets have cloth coverings with the camo. If I remember correctly, that paint thing was just a demo/art project

No, that is not how its done.

It's called hydrographics. Lots of things are painted that way, especially camo since it adds a little more randomness to the pattern.

That's definitely just plastidip. Military most likely does not use plastidip.

It's not wrong, it just doesn't apply to a thing you've experienced. To get random patterns on a hard surface, that's how it's usually done.

Yup. Although it is accurate as far as hydrodipping goes.
suihcta
everytime i see this gif, i just wonder how they get that pattern painted so perfectly on the surface of the water
BeerIsProofThatGodLovesUsAndWantsUsToBeHappy
Not sure if you're serious or not. If you are, it's a film that's laid on top of the water.
Nize426
Pretty sure he was serious, and I wondered this also, but that makes sense. Thought it was some sort of inkjet printer that printed on water

IamNotAshamed
afaik camo is generally not something that would be applied "randomly" like that. It has a very specific fixed pattern.
ejstheman
It's not random. The water is very still, and a machine prints non-water-soluble ink on its surface. You can reproduce any image.
stuffyoudontcareabout

BitchButcher
Yeah, that procedure seems irrational.

This is a generalisation, but regular military uses cloth covers, SOF-soldiers use painted or dipped helmets, e.g. Ops-Core FAST.

Does camo actually help or is it for show now? Unless you're a sniper or it's night I can't see camo making a difference. Then again...
gooseduckbutt
It's not so much for hiding as it is breaking up your silhouette/shape iirc.
ANGRYBATMAN
Although this is U.S Army standards. Could be different for other countries
NorthKoreabestKorea
It wouldn't make sense to have a $600 helmet be usable in only one environment. I'd be very surprised if they did that.
LordZant
US, Canada, France, Britain, Denmark, Russia and basically everyone else. Cheaper and easier to replace then having to paint them all.
ANGRYBATMAN
makes sense
Lasion
can add Norway to this list aswell.

Hydrodipping is also expensive as fuck, no way the army would spring the cost for no reason.

Most of the descriptions seem to be at least slightly inaccurate.

Many people posted this, I'm actually glad to know the truth though. I'm tired of the military industrial complex controlling people! haha
theJPU
No you are not partially wrong. Some SOF units do use hydrodipped helmets. They are not common but they are used.
Thatirishbastard
Agreed. Every k-pot I've ever been issued was either grey or green and we had to velcro it on. (The US army is held together by velcro now)
Euryos
And also true...
thetonestarr
Thankfully we ARE moving away from Velcro again! New uniforms now use buttons for sleeves and cargo pockets, 1/2
thetonestarr
and they're supposed to be switching to zippers for shoulder pockets. Hopefully soon, Velcro will only be for patches.

I'm fine with that for everything except the cuffs of my blouse. Button cuffs are a pain in the ass.

We (US Army) have fabric covers that velcro on. Our helmets are normally gray without it.

he had an anaphylactic reaction, and the swelling both made him look hideous and rendered him unable to talk. Thus, he joined the circus (2)
