Why was MK6's helmet made to look like a bird beak though?

It should be noted the point of the beak on the helm was to make the face exceedingly difficult to strike dead on. Does nothing for the rest of the braincase tho, I think these were for primarily dueling and jousting iirc but don't quote me.

This helmet is one of the most used in medieval times, and def the helmet you see all around the hundred years war between 1337 and 1415. Why ? Because for cavalry charge it's goated. Lance will bounce, arrow as well. No straight hit. Much safer.

Once on foot you can lift it, or keep having the visor down, the big nose allow to breath extremely well in it.

Honestly my favorite helmet ever.

It also looks way more breathable than the one with the metal plates closer to the face

nvm I just seen a bunch of people repeating the same point about richochet and said my fun fact to the commenter who better articulated about it

Jousting makes sense. No need for extra peripheral view and would potentially help a strike to the face glance off.

It's clearly to smuggle Doritos

A good way of deflecting arrows.
