Would mounting a small caliber pistol into the side of a combat helmet be viable at all? Has any one tried it before?

So make it even heavier and have the muzzle that much closer to your face? Great idea.

I believe some British inventor patented a pith helmet with a built-in revolver sometime in late 19th or early 20th century. I rather doubt he got many buyers.

>EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
WHAT

This only works when you're a in a mech and there aren't two submachine guns blazing two inches next to your ears.

Must be this one

Yes, but what if a gentleman needs to defend himself when indoors? He certainly won't have a hat on.

I have been bested. Good show lad
A fair point. It would be downright uncivilized to wear such a hat indoors

i love this, any place i can look up more silly patents?

Silly?
Son these were ahead of their time.

Gunpowder residue would grime up the optics

>implying a machine gun vest in Chicago wouldn't actually be useful

if I could buy one, I would

would not a
bouncing betty
or
claymore mine
make more sense

>Chicago specifically mentioned.
How long ago did it turn to shit? I thought it was a recent thing?
Also, I have a strong irrational desire to find and fire this weapon.

Imagine the EEEEEEEEEEE

You'd need a fully enclosed helmet with support going down to your shoulders. Powered armor at the very least.

.380 acp pistols can weigh under 250 gramms
my motorcycle helmet is several times that
recoil should be ok if you arent a necklett
