    This WWI helmet may outperform modern ones against shock waves

    Any helmet is still better than no helmet, but at least one World War I-era brain bucket designed by France is better than your modern design in protecting against overhead blasts.

  • Textron showcased its two prototypes for the NGSW program at the 2019 Maneuver Warfare Conference (U.S. Army photo by Markeith Horace, Maneuver Center of Excellence, Fort Benning Public Affairs Office)
    The Army just got a peek at Textron’s entry for the NGSW program

    The NGSW-AR is the successor to the now-defunct Lightweight Small Arms Technologies machine gun program. Textron’s submission for the NGSW-AR appears to be a reworking of its LSAT prototype, albeit chambered for a new caliber with a few visual differences, including a new stock.
