This armored mask featured very small eye slits, a cut away to get a cheek weld on a rifle, and a bend at the bottom to prevent spalling from striking it’s wearer.

    What’s a check weld?

    *I think it’s supposed to be cheek. You put your cheek on the stock.

      Typo, I just fixed it. I meant ‘cheek weld’. But a cheek weld is when a shooter places his/her face on the stock of a rifle/shotgun to gain a more stable sight picture, which contributes to better accuracy.

          Only by two minutes. To be fair I was also the one who messed up in the first place.

      a check weld is when you take two checks and staple them together, giving the combined value…
