Helmet M56 (S.O.G.)

NOTE: This article is about North Vietnamese M56s in S.O.G. Prairie Fire. For its East German counterpart in Global Mobilization - Cold War Germany, see Steel Helmet M56 (Global Mobilization).

The Helmet M56 is a wearable hat used by PAVN forces in ArmA 3. It was added with the release of the S.O.G. Prairie Fire Creator DLC.

Overview[]

A steel helmet of East German origin, the M56 is worn in limited numbers with some field infantry units of the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN).

The M56 has a weight of 10 "mass" units.^{[CfgWp 1]} It technically has a base armour value of 2^{[CfgWp 2]} (and a damage reduction modifier of 50%)^{[CfgWp 3]}, but M56s are not considered to be ballistic-resistant and therefore only protect the wearer from indirect explosions.
