Egyptian riot gear

Being known throughout the globe as world class rock throwers they compliment this talent with some unique head protection.

So just to outline here – these are makeshift helmets made by the Egyptians whilst scrapping in their current predicament. I shall guide you through these pieces of registered non standard army kit:

Your classic 1979 ‘Tribottle rag’ helmet – a must in any type of combat.

A late 80’s ‘boxhat’. The bloke next to him doesn’t appear too sure of its effectiveness.

A renaissance period piece of brickwear teamed with a black and cream scarf. Textbook.

I’m not sure that tuna sarnie he is about to lob is gonna cause too much destruction. Old school 80’s broken bin helmet. I personally love the fact he needs to lift it up to see – does he spend the rest of the time walking into things??

Textbook saucepaning with lifejacket combo.

I literally have no idea what this is.

And the winner by 100 miles.
This bloke is going to war with 2 baguettes strapped to his ears and a ham salad roll taped to his forehead.  I’d definitely want to be behind him if someone lobs a load of bricks at me.
