Busch Protective AMP-1 E Ballistic Helmet
The Busch AMP-1 E specialized aramid shell from Armor Express is certified to NIJ Level IIIA (9mm and .44 Magnum), against fragmentation according to STANAG 2920, with a V50 rating of 2,230ft/s. Standard features include advanced padding, wheel-dial, and distinctive rail systems to ensure comfort, flexibility, and performance. The rail system and Speed Connect System (SCS) offer even more tactical and modular protection. Visors (with impact, fragmentation, and 9mm/44Mag protection) can be added or removed instantly. Protective modular capabilities have been increased recently with BAN-1/CAN-1 (ballistic/non-ballistic neck) coverage, a BAM-1/CAM-1 (ballistic/non-ballistic mandible/chin) guard, and non-ballistic visors with rubber seal. https://bit.ly/2N8o4hg
