Remember, a lot of these are terms that have been distilled to modern parlance, and as such probably have a preconceived notion. A plastic is just a synthetic material that can be folded into a solid object.
Helmets have the same purpose as they always have. Protect the skull, face, and neck from penetrative and blunt force injury.
I'm secretly a little old man and this youngin' talk is suspect to me. When I hear "fiber" I think of breakfast cereal.
Now, you two (being Puzikas and Austrasien) seem to be up to date with everything and I'm curious as to what you both use for combat helmets? I don't need to concern myself with the design too much but if steel is being phased out, I'm obligated to be technologically up to date (turns out, banning religion is great for science but is bad for me. I wanted to be an underdeveloped and economically defunct communist state, but the issues have been FAR too kind to me). To me as an individual, modern tech may as well be future tech but I'm trying to get better.
That being said, would animals in service of infantry sections, platoons, etc be considered part of the infantry section's, platoon's, etc's kit like bomb sniffing dogs? Or, the question in a shorter format, can a puppy be considered "Infantry Gear"?
Post this in the new thread to get more answers
I use the Russian Army's newest series helmet ICly, 6B47V.
IRL my helmet is a 6B27.
Dogs and other working animals are usually a much higher asset. Like Bigade or Division level.
