Atomic shizomilitarizm (7 photos)
Many of the ideas of our ancestors about the future still seem science fiction, others already fully realized, and some - is simply ridiculous. In the present 60 years ago, the project of military radiation protection have all three components.
US nuclear paranoia 50-60, degenerated from all generations in a terrible genetic fear of atomic bombs red, sour left traces in the minds of not only the children, but then military. We are proud to present to you the American version of the Future Infantryman 1959.
The magazine «Popular Science» for May 1959 described it as:
«FUTURE GI! Take a look at the corner of his eye, it will look like a fighter era of nuclear war. New military development, as demonstrated in the Fort Ord (California), include a helmet with a transistor radio, tinted glasses and heat-resistant mask opposing the outbreak of atomic flame, a nylon vest, jump jet belt. Loot armed modern automatic rifle of lightweight aluminum that can produce up to 700 rounds per minute. »
A more detailed analysis it becomes obvious Rejected US Army AR-10 rifle in the first photo, the later photographs replaced the winning M-14, a "nylon vest," it is not clear whether a naive belief in the "Bakelite - material of the future!» ©, whether the simplified name something Kevlar-like to the average American citizen idiot easier to understand.
Just - absolutely brutal antenna-battery complex helmet, infrared binoculars on the head with Aki svetousiliteli in modern US Marines (it is believed that such a unit in the technologies of the 50's would weigh a kilogram and a half at least), and hanging behind the charges of TNT in the tubes to ultra fast pull "trench" on one soldier under fire.
About color colorful shops and breastplates was suggested that it may contain the rapid identification of fighters, but there nikokogo guarantees. Abstract "jump jet belt, turns the Heinlein, and no space for belongings, water, and no rifle bayonet. There is a suspicion that the mask - only protection Feis the flash and there is no any dust filter as fasteners on "the oral valve".
It is understandable, the viability of a single fighter in nuclear war - a question very svoebrazny.
There is a thought that in 20 years our children will also laugh at pictures costume design for the 2030's with their ubernanomaterialami, rampant computerization and taktikulnymi plastic rifles. Life will show.
