LoneWolf Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Looks to me like a Bowman PRR headset. Cheers, Mike ™ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raabhimself Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 How does it fit though thats my question Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tommygunn Posted June 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 It uses its own separate strap system. Put it on first then the helmet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 I really want a bowman but have no idea how to adapt that to my YAESU VX-1R radio, *sobs* Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tommygunn Posted June 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 I presume the radio uses a single, stereo, 3 segment 3.5mm mini plug? Therefore you can modify my instructions here and use either a Clansman or Pryme etc PTT. Simple electrical testing and you'll have it sorted. http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...10541&hl=bowman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Yes, by single, stereo, 3 segment pin you mean 1 pin with 3 black bands on it, is that correct? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tommygunn Posted June 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 If its one single 3.5mm plug, and I'll expand a little, it'll either have 3 metal segments and two black bands or 4 metal segments and 3 black bands. In either case its a simple task of aquiring the right plug and just doing some simple circuit testing to get mic and head phone wires identified and wired right.

Titleist Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Does this help? So I'm gonna go out on a limb here, it's 4 metal segments with 3 black bands. So that plug can be adapted to the bowman? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tommygunn Posted June 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Absolutely. Two segments will be used for the mic and two for the earpiece. It'll just take a little time to identify what wire does what and therefore which one to solder to which plug pole. Your all-in-one plug is exactly the same as my dual mono plug set-up.

Titleist Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 So it's ultimately just trial and error? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tangman Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 stole a few bits from my brother but its going to end up looking like that, still deciding whether to have goggles or not though. Plan to add velcro too Quote Link to post Share on other sites

trfo2o Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 titleist where did you get those goggles? what's the name? how much? do they come in black? Last but not least, if you have a baclava can you do a test to see if they fog up after heavy breathing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Milla Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 How do you guys get the velcro to stick on the helmet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 I got them from Triad Tactical. They're Arena Flakjaks. I believe price is about 75-80 bucks. And yes they do come in black. Yeah I can do a test. They handle fogging perfectly, those black ribs/vents on the top and bottom allow for cool air to pass over the lens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trfo2o Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Ok try and getting real hot though because goggles tend to fog up after I get really hot from combat. Would you please? if they hold up then these will be my new goggles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tommygunn Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 (edited) Milla, I use impact adhesive(the stinky, toffee coloured goo in a tin/tube) or you could use sticky Velcro. Edited October 3, 2006 by Tommygunn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinkle60 Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Hey, never noticed this thread before. Here's what I'm currently rolling in: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Milla Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 (edited) I take it the paint on that rubber part of the helmet aroudn the edges is all sticky and coming off? Mine is, damn Krylon Camo paint didnt stick to it, and now its all sticky. Edited October 4, 2006 by Milla Quote Link to post Share on other sites
