- Review/Look back at the Spanish Morion/Conquistador helmet, a pretty fashionable kettle helm/steel pot helmet designed to protect the head and shoulders from incoming fire and blows from enemy units.

Probably was also designed for a fear tactic. Imagine seeing that helmet worn by someone with an arming sword coming at you. Would definitely mean business
the mohawk looking part looks like it stops people from being able to hit you over the head as easily and the brim is for sun protection
The stalhelm and Brody helm are actual good examples of someone taking direct inspiration from medieval helmets. They're designs did come from older helmets.
Cool vid, definitely a unique looking helmet. I like it
The Morion and the Burgonet are my favorite helmets of the early modern period.
Conquistador Helmet will also make a formidable buckler.
Just bought a helmet like this im in a 17th century reenactment group. So i hope mine can take some hits on the battle field.
Edged armour is designed to guide projectiles after they are deflected by the armour, both for helmets and breast plates, so the ridge on the top and the lips on the edges directs projectiles away from your body once it hits. Not to protect you from falling projectiles. Its entirely practical. I can only presume the front and back peaks are for other practical reasons such as grabbing the helmet and angling the helmet back or forwards based on the situation to protect the back of your neck/head when needed or giving you better vision when youre not in battle etc, additionally adding a face shield or visor during production would make it more costly and time consuming, probably easier to just mass produce a generic symmetrical design
That larger rim is to deflect cutting edge weapons and arrows away from your shoulders. Its no use if the blow gets deflected from a head hit straight to your shoulder.
Thanks for the movie. I have a question. Was the crest on top of the morion helmet so thick in the originals? From what I learned, the crests on morions were rather flat. Regards
Can you do Some more belgian stuff? Nice vid btw
If I get hold of any sure
I love these videos for how educational they are and I just ordered a gp5 mask from Lithuania that comes with the the hose and bag, also has a polish NATO filter
I'd do some more research...Polish filters are typically GOST, and NATO filters will not perfectly fit a GP-5 thread pitch. It'll crossthread and NOT form an airtight seal. If they're Polish GOST filters (like those made by MASKPOL, it'll be fine, but those are not NATO.)
Looks sick how did you get it?
Good video mate :)
I just joined as a new member I hope its good !!!
Looks sick with the gas mask 👌
If I was making a low-budget science fiction film, I would have invaders from Mars wear motions with gas masks. Scary!
No one expects weaponsandstuff93
2:10 they shouldve created darth vader like that
1:30 wait why are they not the most practical helmet? in what sense? is it the bulkiness?
Cool
Short but says so much
Moron helmet nice haha

You think it could deflect a Musket Ball?
I love you
can the British round helmet be used as a buckler as well?
Yo
What is on your lends?
