Man sounds like the friendliest SEAL ever
Kill em all
Most special forces guys are cool as fuck.. we did a training rotation at JRTC at the same time as an SF group and crossed paths with them a ton.. talked to a bunch of them, all were extremely down to earth guys. You'd never know they were SF if they were out of uniform.
I agree. Seems like someone I would like to hangout with.
@@nickc4076 same experience. Former college professor of mine was former SF as well. I could tell he had a presence about him, but he was also a cool guy who was always down for a chat, super smart guy too.
whitenight369 why?
I was going to high school when you were in BUDS. I know because your Father was my Drafting/tech drawing teacher and he mentioned his son was in training to be a SEAL. He was a great instructor by the way!
Independence High School freshman year 86/87. tell me if im wrong but I'd never forget that name or the fact that he was really cool. Small world.
Easily the coolest story in all of TH-cam’s comment section is this one
@@xx_mysticwolf_xx1492 I agree
I love that poke at airsofters at the end😂
nah not really even a poke at us just a tip to look cool from a seal :)
@@Bruh-rn6rh
He was uh.. he was being sarcastic
@@vladfedonkin4731
Let them think they look cool 😎 🤫😂
@@Bruh-rn6rh I SERVE LORD TACHANKA AND TACHANKA ONLY, TACHANKA FORVER
@@vladfedonkin4731 People are now saying airsoft is actually a great practice for civilians. At least the Milsims are. Lucas from TRex arms says so anyways.
That mich is looking DEEP into the camera, like "Ah yeah Iraq, good times."
OIF days haha me and the boys back then'
Really love the historical reviews
Me to its cool to see how far gear and wepaons and atachments have come
You're an underrated channel by far, id like to see your following increase
Its going to, worry not. Look at the people they have in their team and the amount of work they put in.
You and me both! Thanks for the comment!
Thanks! Seems like TH-cam throttles down a lot of firearms videos these days. Others were fortunate to start before the 'shadow banning.' But, we will continue to do what we do!
@@TacticalHyve Absolutely. Thanks for sharing the knowledge and education, I've been learning alot from the quality content you guys output.
@@topeteperez Yeah, it'd be pretty cool if Larry Vickers made an appearance.
Operator means taking a high cut desert camo helmet and putting everything you can onto in
I duck taped level 4 plates to mine. Now I don't worry about getting killed, because it'd put me out of my misery.
@@manictiger because who needs a neck, right? ;)
@@manictiger,
I lol’ed so hard!
Coch is the man! This was a fun episode to watch!
Thanks Mark, during my days in the Australian army all we had was the steel Vietnam era helmet, which I still have. And it looks like new as we never took it with us. The only ballistic protection we had was the bush hat. But I have seen footage of our troops now and it hard to tell them apart from yours, with all their go fast gear and helmets . Really enjoyed the content, cheers
Yo, this guy is pretty damn cool! This was super cool to watch.
A+ thumbnail! Love seeing coch explain his experience and the evolution of gear
Remember kids: Ballistic helmets are generally NIJ level IIIA rated - will stop most pistol caliber threats and fragmentation - they will not stop rifle rounds (unless you get really, really lucky).
There are a few solutions on the market that incorporate add-on "tiles" in addition to a base NIJ lvl IIIA helmet to provide NIJ level III protection (Rifle: 7.62x51 M80 and 5.56 62grn).
The best plan is just not to get shot in the head in the first place.
Thanks for the presentation, Mark!
@@paulbarclay4114 highly doubt it was 7.62x54r, probably 7.62x39. 7.62x54r goes through level 4, helmets are level 3+ max
@@paulbarclay4114 that's bs
@@christophersnuffer1972 - "ballistic" helmets are Level IIIA rated. The issue is that IIIA rating is for soft armour worn on the torso. NIJ allows 44mm of backface deformation. Since there is no actual ballistic helmet standard in north america, most helmet manufacturers have adopted NIJ IIIA as their working standard. So, yes, a .44 mag or .357 sig round won't necessarily penetrate the helmet, but the BFD will kill you (or nearly so). Europe uses the VPAM standard which is a helmet-specific standard and limits the BFD as well as the shock to the head (measured in joules). VPAM helmets are also shot randomly including on any bolts that penetrate the shell. It's a very tough standard to meet, but FBI, DEA, and others in North America have adopted it in the last couple years. Busch Helmets makes an excellent lightweight VPAM-certified helmet.
@@sigmasafety Hey, you know your stuff! Can you please check out and give me your thoughts on the Level 3 helmet from Highcom? Thanks.
The tactical shooting videos are interesting and very informative, but I do enjoy Coch taking us back and having a look at the gear he used during his career in the teams. To see the evolution of the gear and weaponry is amazing. It instills a great deal of respect to those guys who did it back then with not as much. Thanks, Coch!
Love these videos, it's nice to have a glimpse on the gear of the past. Your no-nonsense, down to earth style is refreshing - you seem to have no need to be the loudest person in the room.
You sir are the type a guy I respect... doesn’t have to act hard his resume speaks for himself.
The IBH (5th one) was not only good for the time, it actually was very ahead of its time. It wasn't until more than 10 years later with the Ops Core helmets (like the last one shown) that runnning your headset integrated in the helmet become an option. But it was something the IBH already offered in the late 90's/early 2000's.
I served in the Taiwanese army in 2015. In basic training we had the US M1 helmet. Heavy as hell. I remember we always place a piece of sponge on the top of your head a buffer to the steal helmet.
Thank you for your service !! Love our vets
Much appreciated
Such a down to earth person. A very interesting presentation on the various helmets used. You'll be surprised how knowledgeable and friendly they can be when you meet them. Cheers, mate!
that webbing tear sound of that WW2 liner hurt deep as a collector and it has a matching WW2 shell!!
Thank you for your time, commitment, and sacrifice. I appreciate your channel
Coch, we love all of your videos. Thank you for this one.
A seal without a huge beard?
wow
I like military. Unlike other military channels you guys are straight to the point I love it. Wish you a good youtube career!
I joined in 2007 and started with the PASGT. That leather headband is brutal. They came out with the suspension upgrade kit for us Airborne guys, came with an H harness and self stick Velcro for the more modern pads. Then the ACH came out with all that stuff already on it, plus an NVG shroud. The pads and suspension still sucked, so I bought my own ACH and put Team Wendy suspension and pads in it. I stuck with that forever because I thought high cuts were gimmicky. Then I bought one and wish I had done it years ago, so much lighter and being able to integrate earpro is a game changer.
I have the 4th one you showed in the video. It was one of the few things I have that was my grandfathers. Thank you for the awesome info!
What a fascinating glimpse into your career. Thank you for your sacrifice!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for you service..
Hi Mark, This is the first video I’ve watched on your channel. This was a good one to watch. Looking forward to seeing more!
i thought u wouldnt wanna mess with a seal but this guys the kinda guy u would take to a bar and be best friends with
Keep the history lessons coming! Love it!
Thank you for your service
Thanks for the cool display and your humble dimeanor. USMC infantry 88-94. Had Kevlar and even steel pots at my MCSF duty station. NG till 2014. Retired with Mich helmets. Loved your jab at airsofters.. to which we both actually participate.. but hey all in good fun. Airsoft is a great start for future warriors tho. Easy poke.. but I think people really know it has a valid place.. now PAINT BALLERS... tsshh.. those clowns!!! Jkjk. Salute to all my Vets! Peace!
Great video! It's cool to have an historical view from the people inside. Althought I find strange the lack of a Protec bump helmet, since it is iconic.
I'd LOVE to see some pics of SEALs in Bosnia, if searched and searched and never found any.
Thanks for sharing bits of your history.
In order, top to bottom, oldest to newest:
M1 Helmet Liner
M1 Helmet
RBR S4 Helmet (Was also in use all over SOF in the early 90s-Early GWOT ending about 2004-ish, and coming in variations of RBR F1 and RBR F6)
IBH Helmet (Almost exclusively SEAL except for a few Pararescue and CCT guys using it)
MICH 2001 (Used all over SOF but very limited compared to SEALs)
Opscore FAST LBH (Exclusively NSW)
Great video! Looking forward to another gear history/evolution stuff
More to come!
Great insight. Thank you!
Another excellent video. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
super cool insight into a little history
Just as information - the M1 helmet for parachute operations is a different helmet liner - the parachute helmet liner has a pad at the back, and the airborne chinstrap mounted in it. The chinstrap for the M1 helmet is threaded though a gap in the airborne chinstrap to keep the whole thing together. The Kevlar did stop some rounds (there is one in a museum at FT Bragg that stopped a 7.62x39mm on Grenada.
Very interesting Sir, thank you for your service
Really enjoyed this video, thank you.
Our pleasure!
Great stuff! More videos like this, please!
More to come!
Superb video, liked and s’bd. The final helmet is the type I still carry today (Just stays in or on my work bag. Good for a climbing or bike lid too. It lived on my desk for over a year then one day just down from work, gunmen on the roof. Police response was heavy but not overly swift, no one was injured luckily for whatever reason they just tossed down material, stones etc. but when I went out to get people in the building for cover, I didn’t feel confident having my dome naked to incoming debris, frag or worst case .308s or such not that it’d help much. Since then it once again travels with me) cannot speak of them highly enough. Great to attach job spec items ie strobe, IR, nods etc very handy size especially with maritime (and my height) and not as weighty as my old pasgt. An Lt in Afghanistan took a 47 round directly to the front of his and he lived which is lucky af, then I heard on the g/vine that a guy took a similar hit and unfortunately he was not okay. Over the heavier (and possibly) hotter lids, I seriously dig this. Good one, thank you. Stay well out there and enjoy your day.
More videos like this mate on your gear whilst you were in. Really interesting to hear your stories.
More to come!
First video I've watched from this channel and it's great!
Welcome aboard!
I love that you mention airsoft! I do indeed have a repro and it has saved my skull more times than i can count in the three months ive been wearing it, never realised how much you can smack your head in the heat of shit
The first blue helmet number 141 bring me back all my memories. ( the village people band lol )
Outstanding
Nice break down on the evolution of helmets, thanks, looking to purchase one soon (not for airsoft), so was helpful. You have a good tone for speaking, try not to pause and gather your thoughts mid sentence. I am sure its because you could have probably stretched this video out to two hours with all the stuff you know about helmets, but it will make your videos flow smoother. You smiled, were specific when needed, had good annunciation, did not use alot of jargon and, kept your hand motions low, and drawn in to your body, which allows your viewers to focus on your topic, all in all I hope you make more videos.
Great stuff as usual.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Super insightful
Awesome video
Plenty of good information!
The rarest helmet of the lineup is actually the black UK AC200 helmet right after the K-Pot. You'd be lucky to find one for sale anywhere in the US. Although not as expensive as the IBH, it saw very, very limited use with US SOF, pretty much just for training. Was mainly used by SAS in the early 2000s
Coch!!! How did I miss this one?!
I once drank with Special Forces guys in a bar in Kosovo. They dunked a shot of tequilla in a beer jar (don't remember what they called it). Got so drunk I started seeing double (it only happened once in my life, then, and I have drank seriously with some serious people). Crazy guys but fun.
How can anyone dislike this?
I have seen videos of M1 helmets stopping 9mm and 45 ACP easily enough. Wiith a dent to show it but quite survivable. The most common pistol caliber a wearer of the M1 might have faced would've been 7.62x25 Tokarev, which will punch through it at combat distances because 7.62x25 is a scary ass pistol round. In fact, its probably one of the most fitting SMG cartridges out there.
Hey Coch, thanks for the flashbacks with giant bulky heavy ass Kevlar POS. Damn my neck started hurting just watching you pick it up. Big change from the old steel pot.
Awesome content. Could you post some stuff about uniforms/battle dress? Over the years, I’ve seen pictures of SEALs, especially ST6 SEALs, wearing interesting battle dress. Would be interested to hear what you wore and your thoughts on it.
Nice presentation. Great info. Humble approach. I went to ABN School in 81 and I hope I'm not looking as old as you are chief!
LOLOLOL... ;-)
Hi I'm from Brazil Congratulations on the video I liked
Took me 5 minutes before I realized his belt buckle was the golden squadron emblem. Absolutely badass.
Nice vid. Liked the first one better thought ;)
What’s next? Rucksacks?
love the karrimor sf predator 30. was gonna get the blackjack 50... hell of a step from my old alice pack.. just wish they'd make a 75 /80
🤔
I love this guy
Well done sir
Super cool to hear about history no matter what venue!
I hated my Marine Corps issued steel pot helmet. The adjustable staps were worn out and quite frankly we all knew they offered no ballistic protection beyond deflecting small rocks fired by a kid with a homemade slingshot.
Jungle boots. Sucked.
C-rats. Sucked.
Wool glove liners. Sucked.
But leather gloves are not warm without the wool.
Never got an M9. Never saw a Humvee. It's not surprising to anyone, but when you join during periods of transition you're likely to be issued everything old and crappy until you're in awhile. It's still gonna be the coolest thing you can do with your life, but none of us knows that until decades later.
My teenage Marine experience is unique and not one of my childhood pals can say similar things about staying home to go to college. I left. Came back. Graduated from college. Then became an officer in a completely different field of study and work.
It might not be your first choice or way, but my fellow veterans of every service (who weren't drafted) can back me on saying those late teens and early twenties in military service are irreplacable and were worth doing again.
I’m planning on buying an M1 Helmet 🪖, It’s one of my favorites.
Hey man, I am from Bosnia, and i am pretty surprised about what you said. I didn't know that seals were present in my country at some point. If you could tell more about it i would be thankfull.
INTERESTING CONTENT THANKS
Well done.
The man is still a beast. 👍🏾
There’s a cop that was wearing an ACH helmet. He took a 556 right to the forehead in Orlando Florida during the Pulse incident. And walked away and bruised to talk about it.
I bet that was an ECH. 's like the ACH but UHMWPE construction, III- protection. Not fully III, not pistolrated, good enough for leadcore rifle ammo like M80, M193, M43, etc.
Well, that’s what they were made for. I guess that’s why they’re still giving them to us for training level field exercises. Still not sure why I need to wear one driving a humvee tho
@@KoishiVibin No, the cop was wearing a 3a rated Revision Batlskin Viper A3.
Enjoy watching the reviews, it's nice to hear someone just speak from experience and not try to sell products and I like the fact you just tell it to us straight, real world shit!
The video was great ! Are you going to make a similar one about tactical vest ?
Next time pls make a review of bump helmets. SEAL in Protec bump helmet is classic.
Cool guy.
Interesting vid.
So badass
Super clean ww2 liner in that m1
It was earlier in the War, Special Operations was taking regular ACHs and high cutting them to fit Headsets easier. It was through that evolution you get your modern Fast Helmet. That and they would take Already cut Tanker Helmets and kit them out. As long as you cut the kevlar with the correct saw and you seal the cuts with Epoxy, and put bumper edge around.
Unfortunately that ruined the integrity of the helmet, and most of the ballistic protection
Best thumbnail ever lol
that airsoft quip had me chuckling
Why hasn't this guy got his own channel?
I Love the Time line Break Down! I actually remember the Old Steele Pots and Using the Liners in Training.
I Believe I wore the Majority of those Helms as Well!
At least you could Stew Up some Grub with the steel pots.. lol.. Dark Brown Plastic MRE's... Hell, Sea Rats!!!
It's Weird sometimes when I realize I'm "Physically and Numerically 'OLD" Now! lol Mentally I feel Like a SMART Kid..
Great Stroll Down "I've been there/Memory" lane, lol.
Subbed cuz It's Relative to ME! lol.
Respect from Tampa, FL. Mad Dill AFB. SOCCENT. (Ret).
Thanks!
Still updating my ACH OLD SLOW AND NOT TO COOL but hey its working still
I've actually had some M1 helmets (the steel one at the beginning) stop 9mm and .38/.357 before when me and the fam would shoot at old surplus ones. Anything past that though and yeah, doesn't stop shit
I was in Bosnia.... The cover and woodland grn was Seal /Seabee and the USMC picked out the Greens we were having ID problem in the 1st Gulf
yoooo this guy is fun to watch
Great content! Suscribed!
Hahaha...I was just about to mention the chinstrap and lack of the airborne pad in the back on the steel pot.
I wonder if the profile of the 80s helmet doesn’t bring more protection from shrapnel, of course the new helmets have more mobility and mounting options, apparently you always have to make a few compromises.
I think they call it the "Fritz", because it's essentially Germany's WWII helmet, just as a kevlar version.
6/28/05 ORW never forget 🇺🇸
Cool video
Great, interesting video.
Simply good entertainment.
Many thanks!
Wow....you were in jump school when I was busy being hatched.
You retired before I ever joined up.
Good video
I went in 90 and earned my bubble in 92 went to 2nd so I am not far away from when your were in.
That buds one is pretty damn cool! Some powerful history there! I have a helmet my uncle gave me from desert storm, I love military gear history! And have soo much Respect for the guys over seas🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
