Line # Description Quantity 1 Dye Marking Helmet Berry Complaint
Offers complete protection Lightweight, adjustable, cleans easily Visors lifts to allow easier communication while still maintaining head protection.
Visor lens does not fog and provides complete 180° visibility Clear shield allows for easier facial recognition and non”verbal response Verbal communications still easily heard Helmet is flexible to allow for adequate cheek/stock weld Easily worn with prescription glasses or sunglasses Includes sweatband and neck wraps Simply rinse with mild soap and water & air dry – no material to launder The Full-Face Anti-Fogging Helmet needs to be approved by the U.S. Army Evaluation Center to be used for Force-on-Force training when utilizing CCMCK (Close Combat Mission Capability Kit) ammunition.
Passes high velocity impact requirements of ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2015.
Abrasion and Anti-Fogging Technology 180° visibility
-The helmet needs to allow for 180° visibility, articulating full front face shield for communication in the training environment without having to remove your head protection and TRUE anti-fogging technology. Facial features and expressions are clearly seen, and non-verbals can be responded to appropriately. Verbal communications are easily heard when the helmet is donned, and breathing problems or claustrophobia are non-existent. Needs to be a field-tested helmet in serious extreme conditions and it needs to hold true “no fog” insight.
2 M4 conversion kit -Will need to include a 30-round Blue Safety Magazine.
-The M16/M4 Series MMR/BBR/SBR Conversion should be specifically engineered to prevent the discharge of traditional 5.56mm/.223 "live" ammunition, including 5.56 NATO, 5.56 x 45mm, and .223 Remington cartridges.
-The M4 bolt conversation kit must be capable of firing rim fire rounds.
The request for a M16/M4 conversion kit shall be designed to function seamlessly with any brand, type, or length of AR platform, including piston-driven firearms. A key safety feature of the design is that the dust cover will remain open, providing a visible blue indicator that the weapon has been safely converted.
