LOL, that was a good one, for a second, I thought you mean those junk U.S. rifles oh btw, I love tv here, I watch the military channel ALOT, they showed the whole process once on making the stahlhelm, very interesting. oh yeay they did the top ten personnel body armor, the German steel helmet was #7, pretty good considering all the stuff they make for soldiers now
