This thing might HELP your cheek weld, these days. Put a little depression on the rifle's butt, and add a magnet to the mask which mates to a magnet on the chin piece . . . instant cheek weld, no training required! Once again we have a case of life imitating art (in this case, science fiction). Does nobody remember the Storm Trooper? More to the case in point, how about the Master Chief helmet? From Google Image Search: http://www.mjolnirarmor.com/news/AwesomeMasterChiefHelmet.shtml http://www.unquality.com/?p=264 We will eventually end up with a full body suit of armor capable of level IV protection, which a man can actually wear while moving about and performing routine duties.

Im guessing your face will shrink from the heat and if the enemy cant see you im sure they will smell you from a mile away with that kind of sweat. I for one would probably never wear this useless piece of armor. Good for Riot cops maybe, has almost no military application though.

And like primo capo has mentioned, I bet there would be a fair bit of customization which I'm sure would further endear you to the indiginous population. ;) Nothing says ‘hearts and minds’ like covering your face with a mask.

What is behind your face is very precious and I for one wouldn't want to go where bullets fly with it completely uncovered like most soldiers still do...
