Blauling explains his transition from heavier ballistic headgear to a civilian-focused FMA Bump SF helmet in multicam, a choice motivated by budget constraints and a lack of actual combat needs. He notes the helmet handles regular impact well when he inevitably misjudges door frames or ceiling heights. The core shell is personalized with custom padding to improve comfort over the factory version, and it retains replica military markings to satisfy the aesthetic demands of the sport.
