Cardboard Armor

Step 3: Helmet part 2

Now you have a full head helmet but no way to see out! Not very useful. Work out where the face opening should be and cut the helmet open there. Start small and work your way out.

Why leave your whole face sticking out? The whole only needs to be large enough to see out of (and maybe a whole or grille for you to talk through), so a slot for your eyes would have been enough. It would have to be large enough to accommodate glasses, of course, but I think you could get away with leaving your mouth covered, at least. You know, for better protection.

You are completely right, as events have proved. After the tournament everyone started a melee as you might expect, and I got hit in the mouth with someone's shield, to which he had injudiciously attached a broken hard drive... The results:

(It's my right front tooth, you can't really see how it's chipped unless you embiggen the photo by clicking on it)

You got hit in the mouth with a hard drive? I hope they kicked that guy out for good. But I have to ask. Why a hard drive? In my day, when we wanted to really injure someone, we just used sticks and rocks.
