Lancer Tactical
Your face gets hit with 0.25g steel at 350 FPS. A beanie and goggles protect your eyes but leave everything else exposed. The Ballistic MH Type helmet solves it with a full hard shell that covers your crown, temples, and sides, plus a built-in rail system so you can mount NVG goggles, a chinstrap, or a small LED without drilling or adhesive pads.
What it's built from. The shell is high density polymer — stiff enough to stop a BB dead and light enough that you forget it's there after ten minutes of gameplay. No full metal on this one. If you want the real-steel heft of a tactical helmet, look at a PTS or EMG build. This is about protection plus modularity, not reenactment.
Mounting your gear. A continuous rail runs across the top with a short rail section at each side, which covers the basics: an NVG riser or shroud on top, and a chinstrap or nightlight on one side. The slots accept standard Picatinny mounts. The sides only carry a single slot set per side, so plan your layout accordingly — dual NVG mounts work fine on top, but adding a side light means you'll need a riser with an integrated side mount rather than a bare shroud.
What you get. The package includes the helmet itself. A chinstrap is not included, and you'll want one if you're moving fast or running CQB. A basic webbing chinstrap from Action Army or similar is the right call — inexpensive, replaceable, and it keeps the helmet on when someone grabs the back of it.
Fit. The MH Type runs a bit roomy on wider heads. If you're between sizes, size down rather than relying on thick liner pads — the helmet shifts less and protects better when it's snug. Sizing charts vary by year and production run, so measure your head circumference before buying.
