Regardless, I've always kept my ear protection on, the only exception being outdoor rimfire rifles with subsonic rounds. Other than that, I've kept my protection on.

Unknown threats in Somalia and you want your tier one force to handle it.

Unless you want Marhalim to handle the pirates.

post some old stuff...

science still falls short of being able to differentiate sound. these headsets filter the highest decibel and nothing more, ie: ear muffs that only work with loud noises.

also, head protection only works with small arms fire. No use when up against assault / sniper rifles

fuuuuu
this guy is from milnuts!

That is incorrect. Hearing protection has many types, from simple foam to electronically aided headsets.

Stuffing your ears with foam or any noise absorbing material will block EVERY level of sound, from a .22 caliber shot to an explosion from a frag grenade. However, it will also block sounds from the environment around you. Basically, if you can't hear anything, you can't damage your hearing.

Electronic hearing protection headsets available nowadays are smart enough to block any dangerous decibel levels but will not restrict sounds from your environment. There are some non-electronic hearing plugs that can do the same thing but not as effectively.

Then who else did we have in option at the time?

of course.
like i said, for first time experience

Untrue. Headsets are able to differentiate by compressing loud sounds to below the threshold and low sounds are amplified depending on the impulse.

I own a Peltor Comtac ACH and it does this fine. MSA builds a headset called the Supreme X that does the same. The most expensive would be SGS (Sennheiser Government Services) WACH-900 with Active noise canceling

If an enemy is actively putting lead towards your head, even a helmet is debatable protection haha, let alone headsets.

story behind this ? other than the file name .lol

photochop?

Thanks for the welcome.

There will always be other teams on board the ship, not just PASKAL. However PASKAL will be the main force to deal with this type of threats.

Text message blows up suicide bomber by accident


A "Black Widow" suicide bomber planned a terrorist attack in central Moscow on New Year's Eve but was killed when an unexpected text message set off her bomb too early, according to Russian security sources.


The unnamed woman, who is thought to be part of the same group that struck Moscow's Domodedovo airport on Monday, intended to detonate a suicide belt near Red Square on New Year's Eve in an attack that could have killed hundreds.


Security sources believe a message from her mobile phone operator wishing her a happy new year received just hours before the planned attack triggered her suicide belt, killing her at a safe house.


Islamist terrorists in Russia often use mobile phones as detonators. The bomber's handler, who is usually watching their charge, sends the bomber a text message in order to set off his or her explosive belt at the moment when it is thought they can inflict maximum casualties.


The dead woman has not been identified, but her husband is apparently serving time in jail for being a member of a radical Islamist terror group.


Security sources believe the New Year's Eve bomber and the airport bombers may have been members of a suicide squad trained in Pakistan's al-Qaida strongholds which was sent to target the Russian capital's transport system.


Nobody has been arrested in connection with Monday's bombing, which left 35 people dead. Police are trying to identify the severed head of a male suicide bomber recovered from the scene.
